    Wenger told a story this week about how he signed him ahead of us, despite having a meeting with the pope while doing it.
    We didn't sign a striker that season, having to make do with one of our youth players, instead. Shame... <whistle>

    From today's BBC Gossip

    Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says he managed to nip in front of rivals Tottenham to sign Danny Welbeck, now 29, from Manchester United in 2014, despite having to break off negotiations to meet the Pope. (Wail on Sunday)

    The nails for the Wenger PL manager coffin were slowly being
    produced season by season since 2012. By my reckoning, this one
    was the penultimate nail that hubris meant he "did not see it" ...

    That was also the time it was becoming clear that players only signed for Arsenal because they didn't get an offer from anywhere else, or because a club was looking for a willing patsy to meet FFP regulations

    Brighton with a deserved equaliser, 7 minutes Xtra time :)

    EDIT: Dunk Red Card, Awful tackle, Cahill struggling.

    Alexis Mac Allister, How the Fek is that an Agentinian name?

    Scottish and Irish descent. There's quite a bit of Irish in Argentina.
    Pochettino and Gazzaniga are from a town called Murphy, named after an Irish immigrant who moved there and grew rich.
    Che Guevara is a descendent of one Patrick Lynch of Galway.

    Zenit are playing Brugge with an actual crowd. It's supposed to be limited number, but it doesn't look that limited, to me.
    Plenty of noise, but not a lot of social distancing. Clumps of fans, then big gaps.

    The quality beer from Brugge should fight off Covid 19

    Chelsea have included Petr Cech on their Premier League squad list, despite him retiring last year.
    Probably still better than Kepa, to be fair.

    Mbappe is shoved to the floor in the box, a clear penalty and nothing is given, Neymar gets booked for complaining.
