Ibrahima Konate finalizing his move to Madrid. Man, f*** Madrid? 🤬 Second player in two years to refuse to sign a new deal so he can go to Madrid on a free. That shouldn't be allowed to happen.

Felt bad for Gabriel, who was otherwise immense for the Gunners. Just gotta wonder why none of the others available (Madueke, Zubimendi, even Timber) didn't step forward to handle the business? Disappointed in them, too.
I'd like to say I'm surprised but of course I'm not. I think Mo's actions since that infamous post-match interview six months back were to pull back the curtain on what was happening behind the scenes. And Slot had lost the fans, which was his death knell as manager.

We were awful. And Arne didn't do himself any favors, further alienating us by pulling Mo in the 74th minute, rather than say, 85' or so, like he did Andy. More than a few "what a petty move" comments. 🤷 Loved that Keith Andrews pulled Jordan Henderson in the 60th minute. He got quite the...
One more. Going to be emotional for me since Mo was one of my favorite Reds ever (top 3 I'd say). And I really loved Andy, too. Saying goodbye is never any fun.
Chelsea 2-1 Spurs. So there's still a relegation battle left with Spurs on 38 points and West Ham on 36. West Ham, though, need a win and a Spurs loss, given that the difference in GD is -10 vs -22
Going to miss being at the pub for Friday's Villa match. 🤦 Grandparents' Visiting Day on Friday till match time, then usually take the granddaughters to lunch afterwards
