We're just jealous because Germany is like England but better. Don't take it personally.

I've been going to the football home and away for 20 years and have never heard anyone say they think it's shite doing so over Christmas.

I think at most they could stand to cut one fixture out of the calendar. Those games on the 28th this year felt a bit bonkers. But multiple weeks off cuts out one if the best periods in the entire season. No thanks.

I've spoken to a fair few who struggle to keep up with all the fixtures at what is a busy and expensive time of the year. 26, 28 and the 1st are the big offenders.

not a jibe but you do support the place with the most expensive club football in the world. Weight of fixtures ain't the issue, prices may be

20 is plenty needs to be implemented, not a 2 week break.

That's a problem with the price of football, not the fixture calendar.

I completely empathise with the cost of following football and on a personal level I've had to work around that this year myself, but that's not a reason to introduce a break. Much smaller clubs than Arsenal from more deprived parts of the UK than North London have still been taking thousands to away games over the last fortnight.

Like I say, I think scrapping the 28th Is a fair and probably sensible compromise. But fuck getting rid of Boxing Day and New Years Day fixtures.

It's a shame that the Crazy Gang documentary documentary isnt entirely factual. At least according to Terry Gibson who takes particular issue with Fashanua and Jones peddling an altered version of reality.

We have 847 tickets for Wimbledon tomorrow.

It's easier to win Wonka's golden ticket than it is to find a spare.

Fuck Leeds indeed.

The prices certainly don't help but Paddington and Kings Cross have been really rubbish. I'm just a couple tube stops away from the stadium but the thought of 50K+ people cramming into Finsbury Park on the 26th (Arsenal station was closed) is my idea of hell.

He is fucking clever. No doubt about this. The whole way he presents himself. There is nothing to complain about. Not one single thing. He's too clean.

Just compare him to Reus :lol

Götze mastered the "basically saying nothing but still answering every question in an interview " method. His interviews are boring. It doesn't feel like Mario Götze is talking, it's feeling like his PR guy is talking. The answers are clinical, to the point, lifeless.

And I don't say this because I hate him. It's very similar to Reus. But with Reus, I feel like he'd rather just avoid any interview.

I know it's hull but coq looks alright, hull will score though arsenal are too shit.

Campbell looks good, Walcott as expected off the pace a bit. Rosicky man, that dude when he's on form (for what he is)

Eh, not working right now. Technical problems.

They had problems last week too. Its a joke.

They cared in the first year. But somewhere last year they stopped caring. You could see that when Buschmann stopped doing the commentary.

Happy for him to be getting in those positions, he's obv not match sharp but if there is one thing that Walcott can do is finish, not to worried
