We have a really deep squad

A decade ago, the team that had the most consistent starting XI won the prem. When Chelsea and Man U were winning a lot, they didn't suffer injuries, and could boast the same starting XI each week. A team played in the cups, and another one in the CL and league.

Then along came Man City – with an insane team on the bench. Man City's bench last year would have battled for European spots.

I think what is needed are two things to win the league:

  1. Luck. The injury to Saliba killed us.
  2. A deep team. Gabriel sat on Saturday. Who guessed that? When we roll up to Richmond, I mean Crystal Palace, do you know the starting XI? I don't. I think the midfield 3 will be the same, so does White sit? Is Zinchenko back? Does Balogun get a chance to lead the line?

Arteta has the squad to rotate. If he gets the buy in, this could be a fun year.

Why Fox News was created

Clarence Thomas did the things. He took $$ and didn't report it. Now he's claiming the victim.

Trump did the things. He probably did more than just the things.

When Nixon was caught doing the thing, a bunch of his aides were like, you know what we need? Not a party of people who don't do the thing, a network to defend them when they do the things.

They were open about that. This is not a secret. Or a conspiracy. This is the open goal.

A guy walks into a bar and sees that there are dozens of cuts of meat hanging from the ceiling.

Confused, he asks the bartender why this is.

“Well, it’s a promotion we are running. If you can jump up and grab one, you get a free New York Strip dinner, on us! But, if you attempt to do so and miss, you gotta buy one for every person here instead.”

The guy takes a moment to scan the bar, counting up the number of patrons in his head, before turning to the bartender and replying

“Ah, no thanks. The steaks are too high.”
