Thanks for another one Tom! New here so not familiar to the reasons you won't be in Singapore? Happy that Havertz has a chance to be back! Let's finish the Madrid Job then full focus can go to preparing for PSG!!! COYG!!🔴⚪
Here’s my breakfast every day Tom: Greek yoghurt, kefir, milk, protein powder, 85% dark chocolate, blueberries,creatine and a little bit of honey. Honestly give this a try for 7 days I guarantee you’ll feel so clear in the morning. I know how much you hate pancakes and waffles 😉
Well done back Bacon, Sausage, Egg (well done, I can't eat runny egg any more, it makes me throw up), tomato (the real thing is much better than putting tomato sauce on things, I like the small vine ones but happy with any really), beans (must be Heinz), toasted white bread, possibly fried potato or bubble and squeak. Cup of strong tea. Can't stand black pudding.
Merino to start even if Havertz was fit enough to play in the final. But give Havertz a reward for getting back so quick by subbing him on for 15 minutes at the end if it's possible based on game state.
For breakfast: everything, everywhere all at once. I love it all! But maybe drop the cooked tomatoes, they are always too watery and I find lose their flavour when cooked, at least the big ones do. Give us cherry tomatoes instead if they must be present!
Hello Tom. It's Richard from Mauritius. Great show as usual. This Arsenal team, with Arteta, has proved anyone wrong. Now, haters and outers are confused after hyping Real Madrid. I said the other day that Mbappe and Vinicius won't press and that the 4-4-2 will make me easier for Arsenal to play from the back. Arsenal must now get a result at the Bernabeu.
It was funny to listen to one of the English commentators while watching the match. When Arsenal scored the second goal, he was so hurt saying that Real Madrid can come back in the match. After the third goal, he was begging for an offside from Trossard. I don’t understand how English commentators can be so anti-patriot. There is an Arsenal agenda.
Attendance check: Present! 👋👋👋
Not even thinking about who I may prefer to start the final yet to be honest, just getting to the final would be nice 😅I'll probably consider it once the Semi-finals have been played. Big Ups Tom, hope you have a lush weekend man!
Tom I've had the English breakfast quite a few times and I can say, I thought beans for breakfast would be strange but also, when we Americans think of baked beans we're not thinking of the ones you guys have for breakfast. Yours are different and I thought the English beans were a perfect compliment to the other breakfast foods. where my problem came in was the roasted tomatoes. Get those off my breakfast plate. I like tomatoes but that's an insane thing to eat for breakfast. Especially roasted/grilled. That's just bizarre. They're often lacking flavor and way too acidic for a morning food.
Why are you on talking about Man U
Get Kai ready for CL final
WHAT ABOUT THE MUSHROOMS !!!!!!!!!!!11
Honestly, I don't see a scenario where Kai comes back before the CL final with enough time to legitimately earn his spot back, especially with how well Merino has been doing.
And on the topic of breakfast, could you ask Arteta what his GOAT breakfast cereal is? Thanks in advance 🤝
👋 Hey Tom!
Miss a full English here in California, I do.
Two fried eggs, a few fried mushies, bacon, a few cherry tomatoes, a couple of Walls sausages, plenty of black pudding, and if you want to go whole hog, it’s fried bread too.👍
I’d have to fast for a day before hand mind!!! 😄
Not a top 5 but every fried breakfast needs these….. Toast, Fried bread, Eggs (scrambled), Bacon, Sausages, Strong cup of Builders Tea,, and Brown Sauce
Need to know who we'd be playing that'd determine who id pick between Havertz and Merino. Havertz has scored in a Champions League final, he knows exactly what it takes to win we'd need that. Those Saka and Martinelli crosses would've been scored with a fit Havertz on the pitch
I'm just catching up with this and my main question is "who the heck has a poached egg with an English breakfast?" 😂
Also, I've no idea how bacon cannot be #1 (I don't even care about the order of anything else).
I love Dean Huijsen and would 100% take him as an upgrade to Tomiyasu, but with TT being injured, I can’t see him leaving and us signing a right footed defender without getting a left footed defender first. We know Tierney is leaving and Tavares is expected to leave on a permanent in the summer. MLS will inevitably be promoted into midfield as will Zinchenko (if he’s not sold in the summer). I can see us going for Jorrel Hato instead and Real Madrid will sign Huijsen imo as they’ll have no luck in signing Saliba unless the opening offer is £125m (which they can’t afford).In an ideal world, we sell Tomiyasu, Tierney, Tavares & Zinchenko and bring in Huijsen & Hato, making our entire defence have that FB/CB flexibility: Timber, White, Saliba, Hoijsen, Gabriel, Kiwior, Calafiori & Hato yes 🙌🏻 but reality and career mode on Fifa are two different things 🤣😭
Evening Tom hope all is well,
Fabrizio Romamo has reported that Gabri Veiga is on the radar for many European clubs. Are there any signs Arsenal are looking into his situation or could it be Veiga’s agent trying to bring attention towards the player? He is still young and before his move, he was described as a player with a lot of potential. Interested to hear your thoughts, thanks
Im So happy Kai is recovering well because it means he will take part in the pre season preparations, which is absolutely crucial ❤️🤍
