    3/17 Cs @ Wizards

    The boy and I will be there, too - ESPN says Tatum and Brown are also questionable. Any talk going around Boston about whether they’re likely to play?

    12/15-12/18 Game Thread

    Something bad’s happening in Bournemouth - Luton player dropped to his knees and then went down with no precipitating contact. Paramedics came out and worked for about 10 minutes before stretchering him off, and now it’s been about another 10 minutes with a silent stadium, play suspended, and...

    Arsenal 23-24: Watch this Space

    Not much to add other than “whew” and “COYG,” but I did take a look at upcoming fixtures. Spurs might not drop points before December, which sucks for momentum purposes ARS: CHE (a), SHU (h), NEW (a), BUR (h), BRE (a) TOT: FUL (h), CRY (a), CHE (h), WOL (a), AVL (h) MC: BHA (h), MUN (a)...

    Arsenal 23-24: Watch this Space

    Plenty of griping online from people who wanted a new signing today, but I have to say that I don’t mind going til January with the current squad. Seven defenders (yes, counting Partey … it is what it is) ought to be enough to rotate and absorb an occasional injury or two. As @shaggydog2000...

    GW 4 Game Thread: Sons of Duncan Ferguson Edinburgh Bash

    I don’t understand what Luton’s plan for scoring goals is. They don’t want to possess, they don’t seem to press to set up a counter … they have WEST HAM looking like they play tiki taka.

    Gameweek 2: 8/18 - 8/20 game thread

    I understand the first yellow more - he was the third Arsenal player to take the ball for the throw-in…so Tomi might have only had it for 7 seconds at the time of the card, but the two guys before him probably had it for 20 between them.

    Has anyone seen anything seemingly well-informed on why Gabriel has been dropped to the bench twice now?

    I'll take the devil's advocate position and say that I'm not that stressed out about Timber being out for a while. The defensive depth (especially with Tierney still on the team) just seems so solid. LB - Zinchenko (expected back for Palace) Tierney, Kiwior*, Tomiyasu* CB - Saliba, Gabriel...

    I’m happy to give one of you my $40, regardless of the rules.

    Arsenal America’s website is shitting the bed for the noon ticket release today. They just got done redoing things, they’ve said, following similar problems last year. Feel sorry for, and annoyed at, those guys…

    Was anyone else at the game tonight? The score line captures what a lopsided contest it was, but I still walked away feeling GREAT about the team, and particularly the back line. Tomi was moving without issue, Timber is just blazing fast and looked like he would be equally comfortable at any...

    ***2023-24 SoSH FPL: SJH, it’s time

    Price lists are out and the new season is open. A 14M Haaland makes the end of the bench mighty thin!

    edit - never mind. It’s silly season on Twitter.

    Per Chris Wheatley's twitter feed, (1) Timber to Arsenal seems pretty darn likely, and (2) Gundogan to Barca will happen today. It's my own pessimism that thinks #2 might be what gets Man City involved in Rice, which is concerning not because Rice wants to go there (apparently he's committed to...
