    It’s Joel Embiid on US television coverage of the weekend because they were in Philly for a ‘fan fest’.

    shit, sorry. i didn't realise that would be region gated.

    howard interviewed embiid, as tonerl said. there's a small bit where they touched on him being an arsenal supporter.

    Arsenal player signs new contract, but it's not Martinelli, Saka or Saliba. Big Gabi!

    Best quote I have heard recently was "pay them what they want before Madrid or Barca do."

    No wonder Koz left us in a such a huff...scarred for a lifetime with that much "support" around him

    it feels like such an insane setup with that back 4.

    i will say that, at the time of signing, i did expect the squillaci signing to have worked out better than it actually did. i also think park was never really given a chance to figure his shit out. wenger did the same with perez.

    i'm pretty sure its because we were destroying his achilles and didn't keep our word

    But christ look at that back 4, Kos deserved so much better.

    Well aware that hindsight is 20/20, but all 3 of those signings felt desperate to me at the time. Yes, I had faith they would come good under Wenger, but Park especially was such a head-scratcher. He didn’t have the cachet to fit into the team, and there were still major questions whether he was still obligated to fulfill his military service when we signed him.

    My comments why Koz left were totally meant in jest. I may have actually watched that match, and if so, I’m very glad I’ve totally forgotten about it.

    Imagine having those players at your disposal and playing a back 4.

    Who was on the bench that day? Surely you play a back 3 of Djourou (would have been a Swiss international by then), Koz and Squillaci.

    I bet you we won that match. Thats probably the best part. Wenger at times had some horrendous line ups and he still got results. Imagine peak Wenger with our current list.

    I hope he didn't have to pay anything to get in to see the Marble Halls!

    I made my own pilgrimage a few times: 1) right before they tore down Highbury and then 2) quite a few years later after the flats and gardens were built. On that last trip, my son & I basically snuck in via an open gate at the north bank end (actually it was me who snuck us in... my son was mortified... he's not much of a rule breaker). Long story short we somehow popped up right underneath the Marble Halls main entrance and the security guard unceremoniously booted us out... my backstory didn't help much. :laugh:

    Prayers up to all the victims. This seems like it was random.
