      Nketiah, he has shown no reason to be benched and Jesus will need the extra time to get up to speed

        @coygsu @Astrealix did a rewatch of the last 20 mins of the arsenal Man U game; crazy how Declan went from absolute scapegoat (gave the ball away for garnacho dissallowed goal) to total hero (game winner). If that garnacho goal stood I’d be curious to see how rices performance was viewed. Anywho - doesn’t matter because we WON!

      Wonder if we will see Raya before the first Carabo match? Maybe Raya at Everton and give Ramsdale our first Champions League match back.

        Well, Everton is an away game, so I’d rather have Ramsdale XD Plus the PSV game is home as well. I know it’s been beaten to death but Ramsdale is something else away.

            That I still think is an eh idea, but idk if it’s just cuz it’s such a unique idea lol. I worry about the chemistry between the keepers and the backline if we do that.

              @Astrealix yeah there’s a reason why no one does it but I don’t think it’s makes any more or less sense in playing PL vs cup competitions. Both seem a bit arbitrary.

                The difference is though, in a cup you’d not play your first choice back-line. So unless we plan on playing like Gabriel away and Kiwior home, I feel like that chemistry is the problem XD

                  I did like the Raya was in the team huddle after we scored goals against United. Looks like he’s feeling more at home.

    The inside corner on the 7 on my Saka kit is starting to fray. Given that’s an official kit from last year not even that long ago, that’s very disappointing tbh

        some like “normal” one in whatever the washing machines at my dorm do, I forgot the exact wording of the thing.

          Ah, I’ve always gone for ‘delicate’ and washing them inside out with only other arsenal shirts. I’ve not ruined one yet, but I have so many that none of them get worn too much. Honestly it’s getting to a problematic level, definitely more than 30 now…

        The back of the kits is the worst. I wash my on delicate, basically by itself, and it will still start to wrinkle.

    Hot take: if we end up with 5 CL spots after the new format comes in, it should go to the FA Cup instead of the league. Fourth place being better than the oldest trophy in the world is already kinda sus, but fifth place would be an atrocity.

    Amrabat is injured out of his national team. Can’t help but feel a bit bad about United’s injuries this season so far lol. Then again, they also pay Greenwood, so not too much. Wonder if O’Driscoll has anything to do with it ngl.
