In other news I think someone is brigading me cuz I was talking about nuclear fission power needing to be considered an option and not just discarded out of fear and now every single one of my comments from like the past day has a downvote on it, lol.

To be clear; there are very good arguments against nuclear fission power. But most of the ones people use aren't.
Growing pains I suppose. A few weeks ago someone said the same thing on [email protected] (different political issue).
Yeah I remember seeing something like that. Personally not too bothered, the admins have enough on their plate
I'm off to my step-father's funeral later today. He was a good old guy, and a gooner too. Not really looking forward to the day.
My condolences.
Brentford away is a really poor draw in the Carabao cup. They're a tricky opponent, so will actually be a test. Plus they're a London team with a fairly small stadium, so I won't have enough away credits to get a ticket.
Good news is, Raya can play apparently. They're gonna be a problem though.
13 hours til takeoff...
Just realised that Partey and Tomi are gonna be gone for January cuz AFCON / AFC Asian cup (which Hong Kong has made!!! Finally!!!!!!!)
We really need another player in defence.
On this day Mikel and Per joined the team, and the rest is history.
Do we think there will be any more outgoings today and tomorrow?
Outgoings yea, incomings is what I'm thinking about. I doubt the likes of Cedric would be happy completely not playing for a few months. I think Holding will head to Spain, we'll sort something out for Lokonga, Tavares will officially leave, and Pepe will take a few more days. Cedric is anyone's guess cuz I've not heard anyone interested. Okonkwo I hope gets one for his sake, and Elneny will stay. That's what I think at least.
I won't get to know until it's almost over cuz of my flight though 😅 heading to the airport rn
Have a safe flight! Hope we have some good transfer news for you when you get some internet. Haha.
EXCL: HERE WE GO! Arsenal have agreed the transfer of Musiala from Bayern Munich. Understand fee set to be 30 mil, rising to 50 mil following addons.
I had no fucking idea who to even jokingly suggest here and got stuck on it for several minutes lol, gimme a defender tho please gaffer
How was Seaman our last GK of the year before Ramsdale lol, that's actually mad
Eddie, Saka, Rice, Ramsdale all get an England call up.
No Sterling, no Pope. Interesting.
Maguire is still there. How.
Maguire basically doesn't play for a season under Ten Hag and still is first name to get called up for England.
To be fair I get why he gets a call up, I just don't think he deserves it over some other people. Like if I were Southgate and the rumours regarding Ben White were true, I'd rather call Maguire up than White, especially with what he's trying to do with the culture of the national team. I just hope he doesn't play.
@Astrealix @ironeaglebird why Benny blanco rumors?
@Astrealix @ironeaglebird meant ‘what’?
Word was during the World Cup he had a bust up with staff, possibly Steve Holland (assistant manager to Southgate). Wouldn't agree with it but it could make sense to not call him up because of that.
Southgate loves that man
I can't disagree
Topping the group so we can face Bayern after they finish second on goal difference. I don't even remember what season that happened to us.
IIRC it was the 10-2 season
Lemmy.world been down for so long today, glad to see it back lol
Saliba getting called this international break. Lovely.
Chelsea's away kit.... do they realise the purpose of an away kit?
Queseda-Thorn getting a senior call up for Costa Rica. Assume it's to lock him in? Feel like they've gotta have better players to call up than an 18 year old youth player lol
Brentford away for EFL Round 3, it's gonna be tough
Don't worry about milk cup
Can't be worse than last season.
PSV and Sevilla don't give off good vibes. Both will be looking to counter and we cannot repeat the mistakes we've made in the PL so far.
Bonucci is going to Union Berlin. Did anyone have that on their bingo card? Lol
Nuno to Forest agreed, apparently. No loan fee mentioned but 12M option. Pretty disappointing overall.
I swear it was a 1M loan fee, no? Also apparently the option can become mandatory and has 3m addons looking at Romano
I was getting this from Insta, which just reposts all of his tweets, so it's very possible that just wasn't reflected there. But 1 + 12M would still be disappointing for him at the end, so I hope he really impresses and gets at least 20M.
I mean, I feel like 16M total isn't that bad if he reaches it. Sure it's not the best but it's a decent profit for a player who is simply not our level after the past season of crazy growth
Unpin
Balogun must be seething at Eddie rn...
He's probably happy for him. They grew up together, and if he thought he was better than Eddie enough to force his way into the side he'd probably have stayed I reckon lol.
He’s probably happy for him
that's what he'd say in an interview but it's clear as day he wanted to be England's Centre forward
I mean, yeah, but Harry Kane is arguably the best ST in the world rn. Was never getting it even without Eddie and the others ahead of him lol
I understand where Flo is coming from, Southgate has his favorites and higher chance of starting with the US. They may not amount to anything but there's no guarantee with England. Eddie deserves this call up, I just hope he gets minimal time to lessen the chance of injury 😂
