Shoutout to Everton for not laying down like they usually do

 

[8pm at msg]

Can never count out a rival no matter how much they suck

The raffle results for arsenals last home game against Everton came in today. I unfortunately didn’t win
Could be a special day at the emirates if things work out that way

 

[noskey]

Thank you Everton

Please help us Brighton and Forest

Counting on Forest to do anything but let Haaland pad his stats is setting you up for disappointment. Let's just assume we're finishing 2nd again and hope City has a 115 point deduction at some point in the futute.

Jesus

I know it didn’t work for him at West Ham, but he’s one of the most talented players in the world and a bigger club should absolutely come for him.

So I'm gonna preface this with the fact that Garber is a clown who wants to make the league into his monster, rather than what it should and could be. The MLS has made leaps and bounds in terms of player and manager quality the past decade. Huge steps. We've got players moving to and from Europe, player pipelines built with South American countries, and some teams even building legit youth clubs that break out of the pay-2-play mold that's infested the country. The development is there.

Now could we actually see the US build a league that sends teams to events like the CWC with a fighting chance? Not likely, at least not with Garber in charge. But with players like Almiron and (ugh) Taty Castellanos moving overseas and succeeding (as a small sample size because there's been more), it's not a hot take to say the MLS has been improving on all fronts from what it was 10, even 5 years ago.

And I credit most of this to foreign managers and the franchise owners who are smart enough to hire people who know what they're doing. Not Garber and especially not the USSF.

Garber is a bum. He’s a NFL guy, not that there’s anything wrong with that. But we know he doesn’t care for soccer minis getting accolades and paid.

The MLS definitely made improvements over the years but that’s a result of coaches and staff being sent to Europe to learn. Some of these clubs and academies are definitely on the right path. But USSF is holding the sport back.

Sheesh liverpooL havent been the same since United beat them

This whole Pool and Ruben saga is hilarious.

One day he puts the pressure on Pool by flirting with West Ham and leaking it.

The next day Pool throw it right back by flirting with that Dutch guy and leaking it also.

Business. Gotta love it.

 

[Coupé It]

Official.

Would have been dumb to let him go too.

Do you still belive that Ruben coming to us?
Genuinely curious because I didn't think about that perspective of leaking information...

Yes. This is all a game man. These are power plays for the contract.

Liverpool were at scouting Ruben before Klopp ever made a decision.

Now could Pool get so angry that Ruben’s agent is asking for a bunch of money? Yes. Absolutely. Every negotiation has a breaking point.

But I believe these two have wanted each other for a long time now.

“Here's what: Ruben Amorim and his agent used West Ham's card to, among other reasons, put pressure on Liverpool; Liverpool, in turn, responded the very next day, circulating that Ruben Amorim's name lost strength and Arne Slot became the new favorite”
