Looks to be confirmed the next season will start on September 12. Short off season but not that much shorter than it would be for those expected to play in euro 2020. It does mean increased fixture congestion next season though, followed by the deferred Euros. A deep squad is going to be essential.
On the 5th Stand app. Took me two tries to get Super Frank. Too honest the first time and ended up with Kante (not that that’s too bad either).

Willian open letter to fans saying goodbye. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...elsea-arsenal-statement-twitter-a9661851.html
Bittersweet.. despite being a lightning rod for my frustrations over the years, his contributions are undeniable. End of an era.
Yeah. Always should have seen more end product from him but also his 'unseen' contributions to the dirty work often went underappreciated. Another step towards the new era though with him and pedro out. Cheers Willian!
Absolutely this. I was always one of his harshest critics, but I wish him well at Arse, just not when they play us.
I like Willian, he has been a good servant of the club, I wish him nothing but the best, as long as he has an off day evertime he plays us, I will miss this:- The sh*te from Spurs they bought his flight......................

Arsenal, city and leicester in the final 4 games is tough. Even if fans are back in the grounds by then who knows whether our home form will be improved from last year when it was sketchy at best before the suspension. Will be a lot of tired legs by then too. Hopefully a deep and relatively healthy squad by the time we get to these last matches.

Eight players in quarantine, six of which have tested positive for Covid (according to the Daily Mail anyway). Apparently bought back from Greece.
Was it the cab kebab dropper Dross Barkley? He was in the party island of Myknos recently with Harry the mad dog leg straightener. If these young kids are going to go to the party islands they need to take professional minders with them AND they can afford to do so.
Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Christian Pulisic and Fikayo Tomori were all holidaying in Mykonos, Greece and are now in self-isolation. Great that they all went on vacation together. That is so sweet. However, wtf, how did the club allow them to go to the party island at this time? Fcucking Albanians. Jorginho, Ross Barkley, Emerson and Michy Batshuayi are also in quarantine Truly awesome that they vacay with one another. that is a team spirit. you'd think they would be sick of the sight of each other. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...ayers-quarantine-ahead-pre-season-return.html Hey maybe all us big soccer posters could vacay together?
I think they were only allowed places where numbers were low and they didn't need to be quarantined upon return. Oh well. Our preseason is officially in TURMOIL!!! OH NO!
I think the season start may well be delayed. Other players and other clubs are going to be having issues too. So Brock where shall we go on vacay in the midseason break? I am thinking Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.
