    Picture this.

    Trossard scores against Lens. And then he does his celebration.

    One thing I haven’t seen many people mention about last night is how huge it was for our young star players. Saka, Martinelli, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Nelson, finally playing at the level they deserve to be playing at, the very top of European football.

    Everything they’ve done so far in their careers has led up to this moment. They were always destined to play UCL football, with or without Arsenal, and I’m so glad we’ve been able to provide them with it.

      “With or without Arsenal” I disagree with. Saka and Martinelli sure, but given the type of club that Nketiah and Nelson were linked to before renewing it’s totally possible that they ended up at a club that’s always just outside those CL spots

      Really happy that they’ve gotten their chance though. Especially Nelson.

    I still think Ramsdale has a higher ceiling than Raya, ngl

    Want to see Ramsdale against Tottenham

    MA isn’t handling the Raya-Ramsdale matter very smoothly is he? Could be because I’m biased towards Ramsdale.

    Really don’t get the Toney links tbh, unless we plan on pushing Jesus to the wings — I don’t think he’s actually much better than what Jesus/Nketiah have to offer.

        Eh, I don’t care as much about that — anyone can get addicted to gambling or anything really, I don’t think he should be judged too harshly for it though the punishment is obviously necessary to prevent potential match-fixing. More worried about him doing it again though.
