RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

I'd quite like to see him get some time on the pitch but I think by next season he'll be gone.
I hope if he gets a move it's one he'll like, great character.

A nice watch before MOTD

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

Whilst their second goal was a fantastic free kick in what world was that ever a foul in the first place.
I almost didn't bother watching the second half as I knew damn well it would be 0.0.
Still a 5.2 win away from home is not to be sneezed at.
Any result tomorrow at LFC vs City will have a plus element to it.

I'm out of the country for the next two matches and as much as I'd like to watch them I'm probably going to be getting dirty looks from Mrs Snaps while keeping track on my phone.
Shall be catching at least the highlights package afterwards though.

RE: Google wallet question

Think I've found the reason after a software update.
If you transfer your number to a new phone it looks like the sim reports as the number it originally had I'm guessing.

Suffice to say at least it looks like they won't be sending my banking details to some Russian bot or Nigerian prince.

Google wallet question

I'm setting up a new Galaxy S24 Ultra which seems to be a life's work.

Trying to put a Monzo card on Google wallet and it lists
Request from
Location. which is correct
Hardware. which is correct
Phone number. (last four digits) which is nothing to do with me
Card number which is correct

I can find no way of challenging this through either Google's insufferable AI chat bot or Monzo who don't seem to employ anything that draws breath.

Do I just add the card regardless or is that likely to compromise my security.

"It's quite funny, how can anyone not know 4/5ths of our corner set plays involve Gabriel running in and heading it into the net?"
I've come to the conclusion that they obviously know they just can't stop him though. From where he runs he's a pretty unstoppable force so it's either get the header or draw a penalty.
A bit like Henry cutting in from the left and scoring from the edge of the area.
Everyone knew he was going to do it but he was unstoppable.

Gabriel's family seemed to enjoy it as well

I don't thing their manager can have been paying much attention to our corner routines as the Gabriel goal is one we've been going for nearly every match.

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

That was very unstressful.
Missed Martinelli's goal 🙁
and theirs due to stoppy starty issues.

Apart from the beginning of the second half when I though we sat back too much we were in charge most of the match.

City finished 3.3 after being 3.0 up.
Off. Coming. Wheels. ( arrange into a well known phrase )

RE: Denying pensioners winter fuel allowance

Not happy that the high profile moves have hit the worse off.

Winter Fuel etc and I'm hearing very little about getting money back off the like of Mone and all the Tory grifters.

This could be just lousy PR but I'm prepared to wait considerably longer than four months to find out. Which we'll have to as it's a five year term.

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

It always depends on performance which relates to the teams around you.

I'm guessing we're talking about the manager and my point is always that a replacement should be the reason a manager is sacked.
Not get rid of the manager and then start the 'Oh sh*t who can we get in.

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

Only just caught up with the MOTD highlights after hearing some of it on the radio.
There was some lovely play going on with Odegaard back. He really does make us tick.
Lovely to see city let four in at home just a shame it had to be that lot that beat them.

It was supposed to be available on DAZN on YouTube as I thought it was still free this season to drive up a user base to be fleeced somewhere down the line.
I had to take a different route though (cough).

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

**** me
Watching the women used to be a bit of relaxation.
Not anymore.
Juventus obviously turned up to win a point.
We had several really good chances late in the second half and finally Hurtig got one in from about a yard.
Into the quarters, deservedly so.

They've got to think about giving the job to Slegers full time now.
Personally I think they should at least tell her she's got the rest of the season and do a full recruit including her in any short list after season's end.

Need to watch when it's on the club site.
Managed to watch a few shirt bits and get tge score updates but was making my way tgrough Heathrow.

Odegaard now not going to play for Norway.

Maybe another trip to Dubai which we came back from last season and stormed through quite a few fixtures.

RE: Twitter being Musked

Wouldn't be totally surprised to see Twitter and Truth Social merge.

Currently on four sites Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads and still on Twitter.
At the moment I'm mostly on Threads though there seems to be a lot of accounts moving to Bluesky in the last few days.

I'd actually forgotten that was on until my phone pinged up Maanum scoring.

Managed to get a feed up in time to see the other three go in and it looked like Juventus weren't offering much at all.

Very convincing away win.
I wonder if they are going to offer the job to Sleegers fulltime?

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

How the actual ***k are Brighton third in the WSL.
We've just done them 5.0 and they were so open and hopeless most of the match it beggared belief.
I don't think Zinsberger had to make a save until the 65th minute and apart from one bouncing off the bar a couple of minutes later that's all they could muster.

Well aren't you the little ray of sunshine

Quite right though he'll likely withdraw backing for Ukraine and give Putin free reign. Who would then be looking further afield but I'm not sure how quickly he could re equip as Ukraine has drained his resources quite a bit.

Honestly not sure which way he'll jump regards Israel and Gaza.

He might carry out his threat and withdraw from NATO.
Which means we could and should be tighter with the rest of Europe and be re-arming pretty damn quick.
Then there's the protectionism and whatever tariffs he'll lump on to any imports.

"we still lack the striker we need after all these years of clearly needing one."
Yet we had a record goal tally last season and were banging them in for fun at one stage.
Not to say I woudn't welcome a 20 goal a season striker but seems to me we're lacking Odegaard's creativity so I'd be just as happy if we could unearth say another Cazorla, quite the bargain at the time. 


Snaps

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

Apparently a goalie punching the opposition forward in the head is not a penalty but a ball kicked against an arm from a couple of feet away is.

One day we might catch a break but I may be dead by then.

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

All in all a pretty shi**y weekend footballistically.

Let's hope we can get ourselves suitably motivated for Wednesday.
Odegaard would be a nice but unexpected bonus.

RE: [VIDEO] Arsenal 24/25 season

Probably right.
Looks like a cup run season.
Suddenly the league cup is looking very desirable.
