Do football ethics matter? To these two they do.

Eze is a transformational signing. If Mikel continues to use him in midfield, and especially if he uses him with Odegaard at times, it’s going to completely change how teams have to play against us.

Also a big old 'do one' to anybody who mindlessly labelled him a defensive choice in midfield at Anfield last week.

100% when the seed for Müller's move to Vancouver was planted.
Here's a fun Thomas Müller fact for you!

The German legend has played AGAINST a Vancouver @whitecapsfc.com side once before - on Monday October 22nd 2007.

The 'Caps Residency played Bayern Munich U19s in a friendly, losing 2-1.

Our good friend Navid Mashinchi played that day & sent us this photo.

Reminder to anyone in the USA that you’ll be able to see every Bundesliga & 2. Bundesliga game all on ESPN+ this season with English commentary.
2. Bundesliga begins a week on Friday.
Plus the DFB-Pokal, the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup & the Relegation.
Tell your pals.

It’s arrant nonsense to talk about a “golden era” for football.
A golden era in our minds usually depends on when we were born & who/what our early football influences were.
A cash infused experimental competition doesn’t through its existence, usher in a golden era.

These are my least favourite football matches to analyse, because while praising the exceptional quality of the performance from PSG you can't ignore the utterly grim architecture that got them here, and pointing out that architecture gets you accused of sour grapes.

Myles Lewis-Skelly is the best thing to happen to Arsenal this season. Scared of no one, loves every minute and will defend our club to the death. Hale End has done us well.

It feels like the Saturday morning calm before the Sunday afternoon storm here in Köln.
Reminiscent of last season‘s game/win against Union that gave #Effzeh hope of staying up.
This time it’s all about winning promotion. A draw is enough against Kaiserslautern! Nerves jangling.

So Harry Kane won’t be on the pitch next week when Bayern Munich could win the title? You can’t make that shit up…

Good news for Ipswich fans, they’ll likely never have to face Saka again 😂

Kai Havertz has more goals this season than Luis Dias, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Diogo Jota.

He also has more goals than Mbuemo, Cunha, Semenyo, and Nico Williams.

Katie McCabe has started all 21 Arsenal games so far this season, 25 consecutive starts. Also still wearing short sleeves…

Arteta on Saka not joining England squad over break: "We can send the MRI scan. That's very simple. It was a very clear communication between the medical staff of Arsenal and the national team. He needed time to heal. He's had one training session."

Wirtz, Havertz & Musiala is such an obscenely good attacking trio. Three differing yet extremely complementary profiles just combining with one another at will.

So incredibly pure.

Seeing Germany play like that is better than porn.

Incredible team goal with Havertz the executor.
