A friend, regular Gooner, went today and took both his daughters. It was £20 for him and fiver each for the girls. He said he enjoyed it much more than  men's game where he feels totally cash deprived every time he goes.

We went to a pub in Finsbury Park before the Spurs game in the FA Cup, it coincided with an Arsenal women’s game finishing and I was really surprised at the number of fans in replica tops in the tube station and pub. Impressive stuff.

I can't blame him, that's poor form from the fans.

was going to  watch the usa/bel   game but the clash of kits is doing my head in.

H&V fan favourite Weston McKennie has scored. Feed the Mac and he will.....

I actually rate Weston

France quickly 2-0 vs Colombia. Our Lucas at LB. They look such a smooth fluid side. Certainly compared to the huff and puff of England.

Their first goal against Brazil midweek was a flowing move from just outside their own box.

It's another thing to add to the list of "how far we've come", that it seems to be consensus now that we should be trying to get rid of this aging waster who is our second-choice left-back, when he's also in the likely starting side for the strongest national team in the world (player for player) at the moment.

Do people think that about Digne?

I don't, but a variant of that is a pretty popular opinion I'd say:

It's over for Digne at this level.

Been a good player for the club but tume to depart in summer.hopefully we can get a good offer in for him.

He was absolutely  dreadful  yesterday  and that tackle was horrible tbh

He’s had a couple of poor games now, but I get why he’s being played and It’s only recently when we’ve really noticed the drop off between him and Maatsen is noticeable.

I’m sure this will be his last season with us.

Was excellent isn’t so against decent opposition nor is he even okay. Great player for us but his time is up. Such is football.

He goes in the summer regardless. He still has some value and would be a welcome bench option for most teams.

I think he goes in the summer. We were linked with that Truffert last season who went to Bournemouth. Shame we didn't sell Digne last summer and sign him.

He’ll be gone after the WC. He’s been a superb player for us but on his money and declining ability it’s time to move on.
