Arsenal (h) pre-match thread - 17/06/2020

[SWP's back]

In fairness, they are tested twice a week with a mechanism known to be flawed (many false negatives).

Compound the chances of false negatives up over 3 or 4 tests and it’s nil though.

what I want to know is which hotel are Arsenal staying in during this covid crisis

Surely they aren't travelling up on the day?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Is it just me or do we seem to be getting some good press the last few days ?
The hatred tide could be turning at last.

I must have missed that?

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

Just a suggestion - maybe follow your monicker?

I guess in part that's half the issue if I was angry then that would be something, I'm just totally disinterested

 

[antspider]

Is it on the radio?

 

[richards30]

I really didnt think id missed football but as this gets nearer im really looking forward to it. I wont be watching all the games, probably just City games and a few others, but will be great to see us back on the pitch. Another step slowly back towards normality.

 

[its a Barm]

I wished the season finished but it's not so I am now looking forward to watching my team again as I've done for 50 years, I always get up for watching city even meaningless friendlies sad I know but that's me.

 

[chesterbells]

Yes.

 

[shemnel]

good trial run for the new shed & projector set up this.....

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

It will be good to see City in action again. Though not as buzzing as usual.

 

[Bluemanc100]

Not interested to be honest... they had a chance to make a stand and refuse to play till the pandemic is over.. they chose not to and that’s understandable (it’s a business) but disappointing in equal measure..

I’m going back to golf

Hopefully the club has warned the hacks that Pep will not answer any questions related to CAS.

The fcukers will probably still ask anyway.

No hotels allowed under new stupid rules,there as back in a day for everyone

So the Arsenal players will be getting back to London round about 4.00 in the morning? Having probably left London at between 12.00 noon and 2.00? Pathetic, that is absolutely disgraceful and just goes to prove once again it is the money. Sorry I was just sort of coming round to accepting them going back but am now thinking more deeply into it. And next Thursday when we go to Chelsea it will be even later when we get back as our KO is 20.15!!

I am not just looking at this as a Manchester City fan but as a human being!

It’s only what the the teams of old used to put up with to be fair. Pretty sure the transport will be pretty comfortable.

With places like brighton and other South coast clubs the trek for everyone will be madness,if hotels are open and they are all in separate rooms that are presumably clean them I can't see why they can't stay,honestly lovely some of these new rules are beyond stupid when the lads are then sent out to play a contact sport,it begins and ends there for me,they should have nulled the season and waited till Sept to start next season

I think Pep might appreciate the situation we are all in to be fair.
