Not a paid subscriber so apologies I can’t read - I remain convinced that Arsenal stumbled upon him in the #8 - Havertz was always destined for the left #8 role and it was Rice’s brief period in the #6 with Partey inverting in from RB that exposed some of his weaknesses, distributing out from deep

Got to the front after 12 hours and it’d sold out 🙃

Firstly, thank you for the Irish bar prompt. There were many iced cold beers. Too many. Secondly, can you talk me through the Mosquera sub at the end? What was going on there? Zubi didn’t look fatigued judging from his run off… was it to use big Gabi as an auxiliary CF? Or take the draw?

What actually happens when a player faces a late fitness test the morning of a game? Are they not able to fully train that week and asked to do a number of exercises the morning of the game to prove that they can play? Or is it just over the top bollocks for ‘we’ll see if he feels better tomorrow’?

Howay Alan Titchmarsh

How much is a commission going to set me back?

Love this
