Just commuting to work on the metro in Tokyo and noticed this lady’s socks in front of me. Resisting the urge to trip her, I waltzed past and told her to “mind the gap” in Japanese. In hindsight, she might have thought I was talking about the gap between the platform and the train… Which would explain the puzzled look on her face 😅
Why you taking photos of random women in public?? This is strange
Very odd.
Not that deep
Poor girl was going about her day not know this dude was behind her
This may be a hot take but here it is: Barclays and La Liga are the only non banter top leagues in the world. Every other top league is basically a comedy show or a farmers league
England will only have two teams in the CL Ro16 so this is as false as it can get
Pep said that modern wingers don’t take enough risks. I agree
sold Jesus, Sterling, Sane and replaced them with Grealish
Ok Pep
Weird how all the ones he buys come as exciting players and then after half a season look like robots lol. Then he sells the ones like sterling who were risk machines…
Says the man the create this “mess”.
So City are going away to Villa without Rodri, Grealish, KDB, possibly even Doku and Stones ? Yeah, we might be 6 points clear this week. But this only puts even bigger pressure on that L’pool game we have later on this month. It’s going to be a blood bath.
We have villa brighton first before pool, let’s concentrate on then first
In Sweden we all know he’s an Arsenal fan. He even said so on a podcast haha.
We also play Villa away next weekend, let’s not get too carried away
No one’s getting carried away though is it ? If we deal with Luton (which we should have) and City lose to Villa, we’re 6 points clear of them, it’s that simple.
Going away to Villa next weekend, assuming we take an L and City win, there’s still 3 points between us. L’pool can only overtake us by 1 point, no matter how you look at it. That’s why i’m saying that Arsenal-L’pool game is going to be a blood bath, whoever wins that game, probably goes top of the league.

I have a feeling this squad is going to create the next generation of young players growing up being Arsenal fans worldwide.
During the Wenger years it seemed every kid anywhere who eventually turned pro grew up loving either Arsenal or Real Madrid.
And some of the the squad are those kids. Saliba and Zinchenko for sure, we’ve seen the photos. Who else?
Probably half the Spurs team :)
Thats pretty generous. Id say even spurs itself is an arsenal fan
Have to back it up with something major at least.
The next generation of clusters would probably be a fan Liverpool and Man City, we have to be in the mix sooner. Real Madrid is included by default, they fan generations will always be around regardless of the era.
This is ETH in his stupid little hat
Someone called him Peaky Blunder somewhere, and I think about that a lot now.
Are r/gunners ready to accept that tomiyasu is world class yet, or shall I come back in another few weeks?
A few months of world class performances isn’t enough to make a player world class.
There’s a difference between being in world class form and being world class.
He’s not top 3 in any position in the premier league, so obviously not.
Very good player, not world class yet.
You’ll all come around eventually
Still waiting on PGMOL and the FA to go “Waaaaaaaah, City are meanies!”
Wondering what Howard Webb will present on live TV too. Hooper’s brain scans?
Nah, they’ll own up to this one without a big fuss (no media campaigns and commentators being used to express their disgust at City’s behaviour)
Just watched this absolute gem😂😂 so glad our boss will never allow this happen from any of our players. https://youtu.be/hQxcbTBoOzM?si=fuXDaEmHA456xzsB
so glad to have wingers like saka and gabi they always work hard defensively and track back
They compared him to Saka by the way
Made this comment after watching that game.

Such a lazy ass player.
Auba regen (and even Auba did more than him after extension)
You know its bad when even their own fanbase is calling him out.
BBC article about Haaland tweet describing ‘wtf’ as ‘offensive slang’, what a weird description, offensive?
Alright dude, what the frick
Josh was at the wolves game. Other than for the game of course, must be to discuss january targets right? And possible outgoings.
I also noticed felix played against his parent club in laliga but raya couldn’t do the same for us. So the rules are different in spain?
I’m actually going to go against the grain a little bit here, but I think the reaction to Hooper’s mistake yesterday is overblown. The advantage rule is complicated to implement, a ref has about one second to assess the entire field AND try predict which outcome (playing on or a free kick) is more advantageous. In comparison, a ref in rugby has like 30-40 seconds to weigh up the decision. He clearly misread that Grealish was favorite to get the ball, and seeminly second guessed himself and reacted to that. He also gestured that the foul had been committed, and some are arguing that he may have blown his whistle initially. If that’s the case, you have to stop play.
Of course its a mistake, no debate. But that’s the definition of human error, and understandable imo. Its very different than having multiple refs with access to infinite replays, camera angles and slow-motion, and still getting it wrong.
Nah sorry this isn’t it.
The guy called advantage and then stopped play all within 2 seconds. He panicked.
You should let play go and use the resources you have available, linesman, VAR etc.
He was in no position to make that call and bring play back.
It was another catastrophic, high profile error by the idiots we have officiating our game.
You should let play go and use the resources you have available, linesman, VAR etc.
None of these are relevant in the case where Grealish doesnt get the ball first (which he mistakenly thought was the case). VAR can’t go back and give City a free kick.
Hooper could have let play continue, and VAR could have gone back and seen if the goal should stand had Grealish scored.
It was incompetence through and through.
Nope, there is nothing in that incident that would allow VAR to intervene. They can’t overturn a free kick (or lack thereof) or advantage. VAR is literally irrelevant to this specific case, no matter what decision Hooper makes
Why are you not addressing the issue that even City is up in arms about?
Grealish was through on goal. Had he let play continue, and Grealish didn’t score, then there’s no reason for VAR to intervene. No harm, no foul.
Had Grealish scored, then VAR could intervene and see whether play should have been stopped to begin with and whether the goal stands.
This is the crux of the issue, and what should have happened if Hooper was competent.
He was also the ref in the Liv- Spurs game and obviously the Diaz offside goal is more on VAR officials than him, but its a coincidence that Spurs have benefited in both the games he has officiated.
You can’t acknowledge that its VARs fault and then suggest that its something sinister with the on field ref lol
Ofcourse its Kulusevski, the closet gooner, making sure that his beloved Arsenal maintain their lead at the top.
In Sweden we all know he’s an Arsenal fan. He said so on a podcast. SO many Spurs players being Arsenal fans with Kane and Bale the most notable.
