Why does this matter?

Happy India Independence Day to all my Indian brothers on here Been watching a few programmes about it and the events of August 1947 and while it's an occasion which marked a milestone for the country, the involvement (or distinct and cowardly lack of) of the British government is astounding. Lord Mountbatten has the blood of millions of citizens on his hands.

They do seem to be on an upward trajectory now, and it revolves getting their recruitment done properly. Although Ramsdale had his errors on Saturday, he seems to have sorted himself out properly. Their defence appears solid now that they've given Saliba a chance to partner Gabriel. If Tomiyasu and Tierney can stay fit, they have good full-backs, with Zinchenko able to deputise. Midfield will probably get worked on next (Tielemans?) but the attacking players they have are really exciting - Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard, Jesus, Smith-Rowe. Vieira is a talent I'm looking forward to seeing how he adjusts to PL football. Not seen anything of Marquinhos but at 19 he must have potential if Arsenal have got him? They seem to have a structure to their recruitment and actually signing players they've needed, as opposed to just for the sake of it. Jesus could turn out to be one of the signings of the season. Getting back into the top 4 I imagine is the aim for Arteta. Wouldn't surprise me if they won FA Cup again or League Cup.

Eek. Bad news for Villa...

I'm guessing because it was so long ago that he didn't know. We're not all as old as you

Eh If it's not 'Tommy', is it Sonic the Sonic Hedgehog

I can just imagine Gallas is in his lounge thinking to himself 'ah yes, I've roped that lad @Dr. Gonzo right in! My work here is done...'

Time is money!

I'm surprised you've persisted with Ox for so long, especially considering he had his injury problems beforehand.

@Rab has pocketed it then and spent it on a wash 'n' wax service.

When did you send it? Last one showing is from @Coma (thank you!) this morning.

Happy birthday @nudge - have a great day Well I'm glad someone remembers!

50/50 apparently.

'the club is concerned' basically equates to them absolutely shitting themselves

For reference, it's @Devil

Thiago out for several weeks with hamstring injury.

Decent signing for Wolves

Grealish was. But De Bruyne had a goal disallowed and was his usual self. Foden played pretty well on the right.

Incredible They are absolutely fvcked.

why are you signing more midfielders

Had no idea Firmino & Matip were 30+. So much quality and experience but you wonder what the next couple of years holds and how these players will continue and depart. In capable hands given Liverpool's recruitment record though...

Has to be. Or some huge promise of money at some point based on performance of the club. I don't get how players have flocked there despite the quite well-publicised financial mire they find themselves in.

Apparently this isn't happening any more. Conversations between VAR officials and referee won't be released as planned.
