The problem is every thread seems to turn into the Kalvin Phillips thread. If you want to discuss him go to his own thread.You seem to be conflating posters offering an opinion on the relative merits of a player on a forum with supporters abusing a player at a game.
In your view it would seem that everyone should just post that Phillips just needs time and a good pre season to cement his place as a useful member of the squad. I'm sure that every poster would love that outcome but many (myself included) can't see it happening based on his efforts (or lack of at times) last season.
His celebrations don't bother me but his total lack of impact thus far does.
It's relevant in this thread as seemingly the possibility of Rice joining us is dependent on Phillips being shipped out.The problem is every thread seems to turn into the Kalvin Phillips thread. If you want to discuss him go to his own thread.
I caught up on 40 pages of this thread last night and I learnt less about the Rice transfer and more about how Kalvin celebrated too much or how much pep hates him. It’s seriously boring now.
But we were always bringing in 2 midfielders this window regardless of Kalvin… now our attention has turned to Rice, Kalvin needs to be shipped out. Lol.It's relevant in this thread as seemingly the possibility of Rice joining us is dependent on Phillips being shipped out.
If people were discussing the Bernardo or Walker situation in this thread then I'd agree that it would be seriously off topic.
Little did I know that when I caught up with this thread this morning, I would know that Phillips was an integral part of the entertainment team and his karaoke, stand up and magicians tricks where key in team morale and that Pep loves him for it.
Oh well, Rice would have been great from a football perspective but keeping the troops laughing comes first I suppose.
Question for any Arsenal fan on here. Forget the honours list. What are your historical moments? For example, a reigning monarch opening your new stadium, competing in the centennial cup final, being relegated as reigning champions, having a goalkeeper playing with a broken neck…….that sort of thing.
And don't forget your 60000 broken hearts, by us playing you off the park.Well as you asked. The whole club got invited to Buckingham Palace to have tea with the Queen
As for broken bones I think we're probably the only team to have 3 players get their legs brokens by the opposition in the space of 3 years. At least 3 players careers destroyed by being kicked off the park in that time
