I'm also surprised why places like r slash soccercirclejerk haven't started making fun of these. Maybe they're too busy whining about the club that defeated their favourite club?

Anyway, it's funny how culture war propaganda has intersected with football discourse.

You should! If you wanted some hypocrisy you could point to Newcastle

And people still want to think that the refs aren't biased.

Full strength squad against Madrid would have been fun, but with fucking Merino up top? Idk man.

Lots of time for Arteta to cook up something interesting before Madrid. Gotta beat PSV first anyway

We have 30 minutes of data. I think Merino will feast in the new few weeks - our backs are against the wall, and what do we tend to do when that happens? We spam crosses in and yell at Martinelli and Saka even though they don't have any other options. Merino is a much better header of the ball than Havertz and slightly more physical. We're going to have proper Brexit football.

I know it's not our way but you'd think Mikel would've studied how Newcastle or Everton played against us through these years. Yet....
