Saka is such an overrated twat, whenever arsenal aren't winning he always limps off around the 70th 80th minute mark,it's no wonder England win fuck all 

 

 

 

 

Gets kicked to fuck often to be fair to him. That tackle before he went off by Cucurella was particularly savage. 

 

I think he's borderline world class. Can sometimes do wonderful things, like that first half against Liverpool couple weeks ago he looked the best player on the pitch to me. But there are other times it feels like he gets overhyped. I guess that goes for alot of players really.

All that money Chelsea have spent and they couldn't find a better keeper than Sanchez ffs. He's absolutely pitiful.


It genuinely breaks my brain what is going on there. The whole thing from him even getting a move in the first place is absolutely mind bending.

I think in terms of squad depth, getting a player like Trossard for £20m is as good as it gets.

 

I think he's one of them weird players that wouldn't improve an Everton but still compliments Arsenal's squad.

They still lost, didn't they? 

 

And after all this FIFA still gave that lot a spot in the Club World Cup [emoji38]

 

Whilst FIFA should have made it clear what would qualify the host country's extra addition to the tournament waaaaay earlier than they ended up doing, I much prefer the league winner to be the team awarded the spot rather than whichever club lucks out in the stupid play-off cup system they insist on having just because the sport is played in the US :lol: If they actually followed the same approach to national league set-ups as the rest of the world, Inter Miami would have won the MLS after the season was over. As is, the best team over 38 games most times don't end up the final victors as cup games make upsets more easy accessible than when the winner is decided by whichever team has the highest final points tally of all the teams competing in the league at the end of a full season of play.

 

Giving the spot to the MLS winner would be the same as giving the spot to a random cup winner instead of the best team over an entire season in that nation.

I wish Norway had an actual football manager as their manager in times like these :anguish: Martin Ødegaard has just withdrawn from the national team squad for the upcoming two Nations League matches, telling the press he made the decision because he wants to focus on healing from his injury.

 

In theory, that reason is all well and good, if it wasn't for the fact he had just finished 90 minutes for Arsenal two days ago without showing any fatigue or issues related to his injury, not to mention the fact he's the team captain. 

 

Haaland stepped in as captain for the last two matches, crowning that honor by ghosting the press and refusing to talk to them after Norway's 5-1 loss to Austria - instead forcing David Møller Wolfe, the defender that made some big errors allowing Austria to round up the score, to go talk to them. What a captain... instead of protecting a player younger than him that fucked up by taking responsibility and talking to the press, the huffy fucking overgrown baby bullied the last player that needed to meet the press to go face them :lol: To Wolfe's credit, he gave one of the better post-match interviews I've seen a player directly responsible for their team getting annihilated on the pitch, give. 

 

Meanwhile, our two biggest profiles - our team captain and vice-captain - show no leadership skills whatsoever and has no problem throwing the rest of the team under the bus if it benefits them. And some people wonder why Norway hasn't qualified for a major tournament since the EC back in year2000?

 

Doing what Haaland did as acting team captain should make a manager state that the player will not get to put on the armband again for the foreseeable future, the same goes for Ødegaard and his basic bitch excuses. The least he could do as team captain, even if him and the coaching staff decide to rest him for one or both matches, would be to actually fucking join up with the team and infuse some morale in the other players.

 

I'm so fed up with modern football and modern footballers, especially knowing that the manager and coaching staff will make all kinds of excuses for the selfish motherfucker instead of stripping him of the armband as punishment for abandoning his teammates. 

 

Just had to get this rant about fucking Norway off my chest, no matter if this place isn't exactly the most proper place to go off on a rant about the national team of a nation that maybe jonly 3-4 members on here are from or care exists :lol:

I'd say that's entirely down to Arteta tbh.

 

He can't really refuse Øde to play for Norway, though? You mean since he used him for the full 90?

No but I'd say Arteta has been in his ear and asked him not to play.
