In other news I think someone is brigading me cuz I was talking about nuclear fission power needing to be considered an option and not just discarded out of fear and now every single one of my comments from like the past day has a downvote on it, lol.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

To be clear; there are very good arguments against nuclear fission power. But most of the ones people use aren't.

[-] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Growing pains I suppose. A few weeks ago someone said the same thing on !support@lemmy.world (different political issue).

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I remember seeing something like that. Personally not too bothered, the admins have enough on their plate

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I'm off to my step-father's funeral later today. He was a good old guy, and a gooner too. Not really looking forward to the day.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

My condolences.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

13 hours til takeoff...

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Just realised that Partey and Tomi are gonna be gone for January cuz AFCON / AFC Asian cup (which Hong Kong has made!!! Finally!!!!!!!)

We really need another player in defence.

[-] Matt_Sams_314@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Brentford away is a really poor draw in the Carabao cup. They're a tricky opponent, so will actually be a test. Plus they're a London team with a fairly small stadium, so I won't have enough away credits to get a ticket.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Good news is, Raya can play apparently. They're gonna be a problem though.

[-] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

On this day Mikel and Per joined the team, and the rest is history.

Do we think there will be any more outgoings today and tomorrow?

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Outgoings yea, incomings is what I'm thinking about. I doubt the likes of Cedric would be happy completely not playing for a few months. I think Holding will head to Spain, we'll sort something out for Lokonga, Tavares will officially leave, and Pepe will take a few more days. Cedric is anyone's guess cuz I've not heard anyone interested. Okonkwo I hope gets one for his sake, and Elneny will stay. That's what I think at least.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I won't get to know until it's almost over cuz of my flight though 😅 heading to the airport rn

[-] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Have a safe flight! Hope we have some good transfer news for you when you get some internet. Haha.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

EXCL: HERE WE GO! Arsenal have agreed the transfer of Musiala from Bayern Munich. Understand fee set to be 30 mil, rising to 50 mil following addons.

I had no fucking idea who to even jokingly suggest here and got stuck on it for several minutes lol, gimme a defender tho please gaffer

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Saliba getting called this international break. Lovely.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.world been down for so long today, glad to see it back lol

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

How was Seaman our last GK of the year before Ramsdale lol, that's actually mad

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Chelsea's away kit.... do they realise the purpose of an away kit?

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Eddie, Saka, Rice, Ramsdale all get an England call up.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

No Sterling, no Pope. Interesting.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Maguire is still there. How.

[-] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Maguire basically doesn't play for a season under Ten Hag and still is first name to get called up for England.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

To be fair I get why he gets a call up, I just don't think he deserves it over some other people. Like if I were Southgate and the rumours regarding Ben White were true, I'd rather call Maguire up than White, especially with what he's trying to do with the culture of the national team. I just hope he doesn't play.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Word was during the World Cup he had a bust up with staff, possibly Steve Holland (assistant manager to Southgate). Wouldn't agree with it but it could make sense to not call him up because of that.

[-] coygsu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Southgate loves that man

[-] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[-] ironeaglebird@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Topping the group so we can face Bayern after they finish second on goal difference. I don't even remember what season that happened to us.

[-] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

IIRC it was the 10-2 season

[-] coygsu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Brentford away for EFL Round 3, it's gonna be tough

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Can't be worse than last season.

[-] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Don't worry about milk cup

[-] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

PSV and Sevilla don't give off good vibes. Both will be looking to counter and we cannot repeat the mistakes we've made in the PL so far.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Queseda-Thorn getting a senior call up for Costa Rica. Assume it's to lock him in? Feel like they've gotta have better players to call up than an 18 year old youth player lol

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Bonucci is going to Union Berlin. Did anyone have that on their bingo card? Lol

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 6 months ago

@astrealix@lemmy.world this is still stuck

[-] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Balogun must be seething at Eddie rn...

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

He's probably happy for him. They grew up together, and if he thought he was better than Eddie enough to force his way into the side he'd probably have stayed I reckon lol.

[-] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He’s probably happy for him

that's what he'd say in an interview but it's clear as day he wanted to be England's Centre forward

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, yeah, but Harry Kane is arguably the best ST in the world rn. Was never getting it even without Eddie and the others ahead of him lol

[-] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I understand where Flo is coming from, Southgate has his favorites and higher chance of starting with the US. They may not amount to anything but there's no guarantee with England. Eddie deserves this call up, I just hope he gets minimal time to lessen the chance of injury 😂

[-] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nuno to Forest agreed, apparently. No loan fee mentioned but 12M option. Pretty disappointing overall.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I swear it was a 1M loan fee, no? Also apparently the option can become mandatory and has 3m addons looking at Romano

[-] sensiblepuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I was getting this from Insta, which just reposts all of his tweets, so it's very possible that just wasn't reflected there. But 1 + 12M would still be disappointing for him at the end, so I hope he really impresses and gets at least 20M.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, I feel like 16M total isn't that bad if he reaches it. Sure it's not the best but it's a decent profit for a player who is simply not our level after the past season of crazy growth

[-] MutualityWSDEs@social.coop 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

@sensiblepuffin

#Arteta and #Edu have tanked the value of a hell of a lot of players.

The total numbers of millions lost must be eye watering for #Arsenal

Although clearly not for #kroenke
