    Shit fans saying “London is white” not realising it goes in front of white supremacist rallies.

      Are they really? Because they capitulated and missed out on CL again? Because they got pissy their manager called them out? Because they’re so out-of-sorts all they can do is look at how well their neighbours are doing? xD

      What an embarrassment of a club. If Arsenal fans behaved the way Spurs fans have, I’d be livid.

      You can enjoy the rivalry, but I’d rather Arsenal do well first and foremost overall else.

      Them inferring spurs are the best team in London makes zero sense. They’re clearly not the best team in North London, let alone London. And as someone else pointed out, they’re arguably not even the best team in a white kit in London, if you judge them purely by the second half of the season.

      Bunch of deluded bottlejobs. They’ve embarrassed themselves, their manager, and their players. They deserve to be relegated down to the National League. Or maybe they should just abandon football altogether and go back to playing cricket.

        Not just by second half of the season: when counting London derby matches, Fulham beats Tottenham this season.

    Since England announces their squad today, who do you think will be the starting XI? Kane, Saka, Rice, Bellingham, Pickford are obviously all getting in, but the rest feel a bit more up for grabs.

      Personally hoping for Foden LW and hope he makes it work, but beyond that honestly not really got a clue. Obviously Shaw, Stones, and almost certainly Walker, but who’s the fourth?

      I think we got lucky with Arteta. This potentially could have been us with a revolving door of managers.

      I do think we are run better overall, but who knows what rash decisions the club makes if the team aren’t performing to the standards expected.

      McKenna is apparently linked with them. I hope he doesn’t take it if that is the case. But he’s probably going to get a much better contract if he dies.
