wormy

Kudos BTW to some arsenal fans getting some light-hearted stick as I passed through Bigg Market who got out of it by chanting 'it was the ball'. Respect for taking it in good humour.

Maybe bias as everything's better in Gallowgate but the atmosphere was great imo.

With the expectation that there's no way I get a ticket to Wembley, can I pencil myself in for this please? No elderly parent's birthday to work around this time means I'm fucking off up north for the best atmosphere possible.

Love a bit of Reverend Stevie Watson in the Stack.

@The College Dropout positively frothing.

I ordinarily trust Eddie's line ups implicitly but Trips up against Martinelli has immediately terrified me.

What does this even mean?

Why would we be?

Was wondering where this was. Its officially match day!

The occasion calls for peak Aniston and peak Aniston this is.

Don't worry, you definitely won't need to wait 2 years. This thing's gonna get bumped every few weeks to fret about whatever absolute disgrace of a loan he goes out on.

Should be a handy option off the bench tonight but Eddie will probably stick with his favourites as per usual.

I love to hate Arsenal but I couldn't give a shit about those quotes. They need to score three at a minimum. They may need more. Doesn't strike me as him saying its a given but just an acknowledgement of what they need to do if they're going to turn the tie around. All for Howe turning it in to motivation for the players if he can, though.

Ended up on Wikipedia as I always forget how fleeting that spending spree was. Signed Roberto Carlos in January '11 to kick it all off and between August '13 and January '14 completed their firesale of anyone of note, before sinking for the next 8 years. What a rollercoaster for the fans. I always forget we were a tiny part of it via the Europa League, too.

Hope Wor Flags have a display prepared telling Paul Mitchell to pull his finger out his arse. Some things have to take precedence on days like this.

Gave it a try for the first time pre Fulham and was disappointed. The queue to get in actually flowed pretty well but I begrudged queuing that long inside for such a bog standard pint. And I was annoyed to find out they have the ability to show live football when they decided to stick Forest-Brighton on with like 20 minutes to go.

Been wracking my brain since I heard commentary call West Ham's youth academy 'famed'.. Who was the last truly quality player it produced before Rice?

Can't say I blame them tbf.

If we've not used Kelly's €3m loan fee x 5 by 11pm tonight this bald fraud needs shooting out of a cannon.

Cheeky loan fee n'all. Farewell, Lloyd Casius. We hardly knew thee.

His constant use of 'iz' was so jarring.

Even funnier considering Juve feel him worth giving running updates on their social media before it's even finalised. Ah well, all the best to him. He'll always be a PSR legend for us.

I'm willing for them to take that chance.

God forbid a 34 year old just be winding down. Despite all the bollocks spouted about his attitude I don't think there's been a single genuine bit of evidence, has there? He's clearly still a big voice in the team, even from the sidelines. I've caught him speaking to players as he's been warming up on the sideline mid-match. That doesn't scream checked out.

You have to wonder if we should've kept him for the bench.
