Why is @Arsenal passing Corners. Can’t our set pieces coach see that this never works for us. Let Rice cross the ball in, we did that well last season #ARSHUL
Today’s change for care workers is the right one and I’m glad the Government has listened to me and others, but the same fairness should extend to everyone already on the route to settlement.
Thousands of people made life-changing decisions on the basis of the five-year rule. Retrospectively uprooting someones plans, sometimes made at the most vulnerable time in their lives, is unfair
Please rest assured I’ll be pressing for those already here to be protected.
I’m glad the Home Secretary has exempted some care workers from her changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain rules - this is a major win for campaigners. But the announced changes still prioritise a desire to appear “tough on immigration” over humanity, pragmatism and Labour values.
Key takeaways:
- The new rules create a classist two-tier system where higher earners get security sooner while lower-paid workers face longer insecurity and a greater risk of exploitation
- Retrospective application means people currently in the UK settled under one set of rules and are now being held to different rules, which is unfair and leaves people already building their lives here facing greater insecurity
- Claiming benefits will extend the wait for ILR, which turns social security into a punishment
- Extending the time people are shut out of social security will likely drive up child poverty, homelessness, and rough sleeping
We need a far simpler settlement system that supports integration and doesn’t punish people for seeking sanctuary, building a better life, or falling in love with someone who has a different passport.
That first half was pressure after pressure from Liverpool after Arsenal's goal. The midfield especially Odegaard need to control the ball. Tzolis need to come off for Eze and Gyokeres for Havertz to give the defenders busy #LIVARS
We did really well to get ahead but we need to string two passes together. Stop playing Anfield and play Liverpool. Rice out there screaming at others to calm down and get their foot on the ball. The counter is there. We also have the bench to hurt them.
Massive second half.
I have some issues with the lineup. We can't do the same thing and expect a different result. Bruno & Rice haven't been as effective as Kelly & Rice. Also, Havertz shouldn't be starting based on his form; even Merino upfront is a better risk. Eze should have started too #LIVARS
Arteta looking at Kai Havertz's form every week and still writing his name on the team sheet like it's a hostage negotiation 😭 At this point it's not a tactic, it's a personal vendetta against Arsenal fans. His loyalty to Havertz is the most committed relationship in football.
Good to have Tzolis back, but why has Arteta dropped Eze for a Tzolis who’s been out injured for so long, when Eze has been in good form lately?
If there’s anyone who deserves to be dropped, it’s Havertz. But for whatever reason, he starts again.
Y’all will now understand why Arsenal got to the Carabao Cup Final, FA Cup Final, Champions League Final and won the league with Kai Havertz missing 90% of the season.
We’re not winning anything with that player in the starting line up. I’ve seen the script way too many times.
If Arsenal are a serious football institution, Havertz gets booted out of the club by January.
But he’s the coach’s boyfriend, so he’ll probably get a new contract with improved wages instead.
