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

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

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.

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?

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.

We like to stay over and train rather than do a lot of long journeys back,pep won't be too chuffed

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.
