The FA have decided that cards in Italian cup competitions result in Premier League bans. Just like when Scholes and Rooney got sent off in pre-season games and couldn't start the season. Is Fabregas suspended after his this summer?
John Reed
>Why? Because it was an obvious joke since goals won't be counted that closely but it reminded me Higuain will have to score a shitload to not be a flop and found it funny. Also he's a big fatty right now. People shitpost about teams outside the EPL when something huge happens, especially when it's bad, learn to deal with it.

THE FA HAVE DECIDED TO CARRY OVER A COPPA ITALIA DOUBLE YELLOW SENDING OFF FOR POGBA MAKING HIM BANNED FOR THIS WEEKEND

Don’t listen to the transfer rumours. Don’t listen to the league table predictions, that Arsenal will somewhere between 4th and 6th. Don’t listen to the experts, the pundits or the ex-professionals. Don’t listen to the “Arsenal are a few short AGAIN to challenge for the league”. Don’t listen to the “Arsenal are falling behind due to ANOTHER inactive transfer window”. Just don’t listen.
Right now we live in an awkward limbo, the season about to start, the mouths of many running skepticism about our league chances or transfer rumours to fuel a narrative that we have to sign more world class players. These sort of stories, as much as I fall for them to, they sell. They get retweets, shares, likes, upvotes. We’ve heard this sort of doubt for many a season, that we’ll miss out on the Champions League football, or it’ll be Wenger’s last tenure. The haters always chirp, they always doubt, but we don’t go away.
We seem defeated before it’s begun. But, I think its time to chill. It’s not all gloom and doom.
Now, reality. We finished second last year, our best performance in the league since 2005. Though not thoroughly deserved, the league table doesn’t lie. Last season taught us a few lessons. Firstly, whilst the pairing of Cazorla-Coquelin was the best we have seen since Arteta-Ramsey in 2013, the pair essentially did the job of one. Coquelin ran decoy, taking his marker away from Cazorla, allowing him to pick it up between the centre-backs, drive/pass forward and create combinations with Ozil/Ramsey through the middle of the pitch. If the attack broke down, Coquelin was there in a position to pick up the scraps. Recycle possession, repeat. Whilst effective, the signing of Xhaka resolves this. He can do both, start play at the first phase, but also help destroy once the play breaks down.

It seems that Inter has just bought Joao Mario for 40 mln + 5 bonus
A new fucking waste of money like Quaresma for us

Sup Forums is incredibly easy to troll, if you just mention anything about Arsenal which isn't negative, you'll get shat on because of pic related.
>FA >ABU >Where Alex Fergie literally admitted to bullying officials for better decisions >Where ref whistleblowers say the FA blackmails refs into giving decisions to United >Where the FA has admitted United in CL makes them more money than when they are out of it
United will never be irrelevant because it's the FA's cash cow.

Don't bother replying, explaining to your feeble brain will be a waste of my time as you won't get it.
Jack Wright
More world cup winners in their squad than City, Chelsea, United and Liverpool.
Ryan Sanders
and dortmund has the guy who scored the game winning goal in the WC. Irrelevant I never miss the chance to shit on arsenal
Noah Price
Kek. He's a midfielder. I'd say his best position is at 10
Samuel Allen
Is he the dark bald guy?
Isn't he a winger?
Michael Hall
>THESE THINGS DON'T COUNT CAUSE I SAY THEY DON'T
What's the point of this, Sosa?
Cameron Adams
I see you can't read either. Nor can you follow simple instructions of not replying. You're so far down the spectrum you've looped back round. Must be heartbreaking for your family. There is help out there for you, user. Autism doesn't have to be as crippling as you're letting it be.
Jordan Bennett
How does have more WC winners mean anything. Arsenal have more WC winners than Barca who gives a fuck.
Samuel Smith
Although I belive it's a lot of money, he will be your best player by far. He is a much better player than Quaresma ever was. In fact I predict that Italian football will fit him like a glove.
Leo Mitchell
Bamford close to loan deal for Villa
Daniel Jenkins
That wasn't your question. You asked to name one positive thing they have. So I did. Now you're doing the expected
>b-b--but that doesn't count!!!
Just like Sup Forumsermin do. Not totally surprised desu Sosa.

This guy really needs to leave chelsea
Camden Gutierrez
He plays like a false winger because our coach does not use the 10 at all. But he's better in the center IMO.
Evan Gutierrez

That can't be right, the Chelsea lads were telling me he's good enough to be third choice last season.
Alexander Wood

Blake White
Why not stick a buyback clause on him anyways? Why don't more English clubs do this
Caleb Parker
The FA literally invented a new ruling so they could ban Rooney from an FA Cup semi final against City for swearing into a camera.

the lad was class in the youth and the championship, although his loans in the premier league have been awful
if he's not good enough to make the step up or just hasn't had the proper situation, that's up to discussion
Cooper Cox

Josiah Wood

nigga theyve won that joke of a competition already
Lucas Perry
>That'sthefuckingjokemongs.jpg
Leo King
Khedira - Marchisio - Pjanic, with Sturaro, Perreyra, Asamoah, Lemina and Marrone as backups. Another midfielder is comming probably, would love Isco honestly. It depends on whether Allegri plans to play 3-5-2 or 4-3-1-2, he has used both in pre-season, and whether Pjanic will play #10 or CM. Still better than Manure's midfield.
