But they were all born and raised in England. I mean, most of the England team qualifies to play for other nations, but it doesn't mean they're not English does it? Just to make it clear, what I said was that seven of the starting XI players were English. I wasn't talking about their...

It's a bit mad that mentioning the number of English players in our team is considered "Reform-y". Is it Reform-y to talk about all the English players in the Arsenal squad - like Eze, Madueke, Saka, Lewis-Skelly, Nwaneri and Nelson?

Also, I'm assuming Dibling will be starting for us soon. When Nigel Farage gets wind of this, he's going to be pestering Derek Hatton for a freebie in his corporate box.

If English players are more in demand, it's not by the Top Six lot. The RS only started one English player last night. Arsenal usually have a few, but they tend to be home-grown Londoners. We need to do more of that.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but our starting XI on Sunday had an unusually high number of English players for a top flight game. Pickford, Garner, Tarkowski, Keane, Iroegbunam, Dewsbury-Hall, and Grealish. Throw in O'Brien from Ireland and its almost like the 80s. I don't care where...

£35m in the end, seems about right for this lad. Hope he triggers the £5m in add-ons, cos that'll mean he's done well for us.

Exactly this. I said something similar in another thread. The big takeaway from yesterday for me was that we own the city from Albert Dock to Bramley Moore Dock and that’s the heartland of historic Liverpool. The city is ours.

If I was a RS, I'd be absolutely gutted. Getting the Soccerbus alongside the Albert Dock and the Liver Buildings - the best and most visited part of Liverpool - and seeing the blue hordes streaming along the road to our lovely new stadium raised my spirits no end. And then walking back along...

Just had another email telling me to ignore the first email. Very disappointing, I thought I’d been upgraded due to my loyal support throughout the recent miserable years of being an Evertonian

That’s about half a Guinness at Everton prices isn’t it?

Really pleased to get an email from the club welcoming me to Club View. Free programme, £10 loaded on my season ticket, can’t wait. Pity my season ticket isn’t actually in Club View

That is madness. How can they not have known that if they were obliged to offer more seats to away fans in a cup game, they would have displace entire blocks so they could segregate the fans? I would also guess that this means block 223 will have to be left completely empty for cup games, as...

Football is okay, it's the coverage. Luckily it's easy enough to avoid the worst of it. If I watch MOTD, I always wait til its been on for at least half an hour so I can fast forward through all of the punditry. On Sky/TNT, I don't tune in til kick off, then go make a cup of tea at half time...

Yes, I reckon there'll be loads, doubt if it'll even be a full house. It's just the principle of the thing for me - at no time did the club suggest that block 223 could be displaced for a cup game.

I’m block 223 too and have been told I’m being displaced. That’s mad - how many tickets are they giving Mansfield? And it was never mentioned that displacement would go as far as 223 - I’m literally a couple of seats away from Club View! Surely some mistake? I’m not bothered about the Carabou...
