The City block? :)

First win in 140 games

True, just comes to show what a shambles they are. Another reason to stay away xD

I think how Chelsea treats players in general. I get Maresca wants to choose the best players for how he wants to play, but if that's the case then they should have been looking to move them on. They have moved some on, but they still have like a 36 player squad.

Apparently Chilwell was one that was excluded and Maresca doesn't see him fitting into his plans. Maybe there were no buyers or Chilwell doesn't really have any intention of moving on and is happy to just chill. It honestly makes me wonder why players bother to move there if they want to play for a legitimate team. If they're after a paycheck, they can just chill on the bench. If they even make it that far.

No Messi or Ronaldo for the first time since 2003, as well.

21 years, damn!

Shit, you're right!

Four current Arsenal players listed as well, which is nice.

• Ødegaard
• Rice
• Saka
• Saliba

Jeez... destroyed

Hattrick for Foord

You may be right

I thought that was strange too. Not even the Arsenal website...

The commentary is only goals, lol

Not watching the game, but 1-0 halftime.

Ford scored. Not sure who assisted.

Perfection! xD

Probably nothing immediate, but I like to think of how far we've come as a club in the last few seasons

What was it? I didn't click on it since I wasn't able to catch the game

Yikes... I've had my own travel issues of late, but food poisoning would have to be the worst. Especially with a 26hr flight

Glad you mate it safely in the end

No stress :)

Sounds like you have enough of it already

I missed all but 30mins of the first half. Was gut wrenching to see the notification for Rice getting sent off and conceding a goal.

Havent caught any replays yet and we're traveling back to Bergen today. Any pros and cons of the game other than not taking our chances in the final 3rd?

Would it be this? Was going to reply earlier, but I stopped over the border of Sweden for some cheaper shopping

Team news in full...

Mikel Arteta confirmed new signing Mikel Merino will be out for a few weeks with a shoulder fracture after a collision with defender Gabriel in training.

Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Jesus are also ruled out for the clash with Brighton.

Albion midfielder Matt O’Riley misses out and will require surgery after he was injured 10 minutes into his debut against Crawley in the Carabao Cup.

Solly March and Brajan Gruda have been ruled out but manager Fabian Hurzeler revealed Pervis Estupinan and Mats Wieffer’s return to action is imminent

@ronsboy67@mas.to Yeah, those happen and that's a fair point I hadn't considered. Still not ideal, but looking forward to seeing him play and how he will contribute to the team :)
