The Saudis haven’t invested billions in building their league to just send loads of players back to England on loan. Can’t see it.

Why would he have stuffed future involvement? He didn’t do anything.

I didn’t see either of the games this week but surely meaningless fixtures like this don’t add anything to the debate.

What does time barred mean BTW? You did lots of dodgy things but it’s too late to get you for it?

If they’re both fit by Jan I guess we won’t sign anybody. We need someone now, not in Jan.

I actually think he would’ve been high on the list for replacement when the new regime came in. He just managed to postpone it by finding the best form and fitness of his career. Hoped against hope but really he was never going to last as a regular starter.

For the next 5 windows.

Wouldn't say Gordon is limited in possession mind, his technique is excellent.

Conspiracy theories aside, seemed an absolute no-brainer to throw the book at Arteta. Especially since the audio completely vindicates the VAR team. Don't understand why it hasn't been done, unless something about the rules has changed.

It’s clearly a dive, his movement forwards comes after the challenge from Joe and the ball has been missed.

Kind of chaotic and would be nice to be cleaner in the chat, but they went through everything and the decision is clearly correct.

Well yeah, but then they would need the infrastructure to support both types of tickets. I guess at the moment they probably have that but I imagine the plan is to get rid of it.

I don't think that it's inherently better, of course it depends how it's implemented.

I share some of the concerns about how come everyone in TF has enough loyalty points to attend every home and away game, but I would be very uncomfortable with asking one individual to explain themselves publicly, especially the one female involved in anything to do with football podcasting around the club. Feels very weird to focus on her.

It's pointless to talk about paper tickets, that is never going to be the solution.

Yes, in fact many clubs did.

No doubt it’s funding Chinese slave masters, FWIW

You only have to look at our personnel to see why we can’t play more possession. We just don’t have the people to do it, especially with the injuries.

I guess people are assuming some kind of short-term loan to begin with (for KP). Imagine we do have lots of people on our list, but getting them affordably in January might not be so easy.

He always knew how to kick.

We gave the ball away criminally all game really. I’m surprised we aren’t capable of passing it about when necessary. Of course that also needs the legs to get into space and the technical ability to control in tight areas, both of which were lacking in that team.

I don’t think these mythical Saudi loans are even a thing. There’s no reason for us to get involved.

I don’t really feel the need for him to publicly apologise. Do the porridge, keep your head down and come back the best CM in Europe. That’s all I ask.

We could still win this like, we are down to the bones but they are still rubbish.

That’s true but being a member only gives you a tiny chance of getting a ticket anyway. It’s not like it’s a good bet. I guess if you sell your ticket for £200 it’s worth it, but you would still need about 20 memberships to have a reliable chance of getting a ticket.
