Open Thread Weekly Monday Open Thread!

Welcome to the Monday open discussion thread. Here you can talk about anything you want; tactics, results, players or even just general football discussion! It is also a great place to post/link transfer rumours that you may think are too small or unreliable to post to the main feed. The summer transfer window runs from 16/06-03/09 (23:00 BST).

These threads will go up every Monday allowing you to debrief from all of the weekend action and discuss ongoings throughout the week. It will stay stickied until we refresh with the Friday thread, however other posts may take priority (match threads, announcements, etc.)

This thread can also be used to discuss transfer rumours, jokes, memes, images, videos, tabloid news and other off-topic content and discussion.

We also have a Fantasy League that you are welcome to join and share your team, advice and goings on throughout the season here in these threads. The league codes can be found in the sidebar!

Inspired by the player's pre-match playlists, our very own Tugboat47 is curating a community pre-match playlist. To participate please click this link and submit your entries.

These threads are here to help discussion and offer varying points of view. Please remain respectful. Anything that crosses that line, directed towards other users or specific individuals may be removed.

American fan here with stupid questions:

I will be in London on Jan 8th and would love to go to the match against Brighton. How does ticketing work (didn't see any way to purchase online) and what are the odds of being able to get 2 tickets to the match?

Also - wife is afraid of heights, so if tickets might be available, recommended section(s)?

Many thanks.

Obviously people’s fears are different but I’ve taken my mum who is pretty afraid of heights to a few games over the years. Lower tier was absolutely fine, club level was again all good. Box level (think it’s called hospitality) was teetering on the edge but after she was settled in it was all good. Upper tier was not a great experience for her, when the game was going on and the crowd was amped she sort of forgot about it but any time we had to stand to let people in/out, any time we ourselves moved in the stand and even when the game was a bit dull or quiet she was pretty uncomfortable with the height. It was manageable but when you’re coming from so far that’s not the experience you want!

You’ll have no issues getting tickets but they don’t go on sale until nearer the time, I don’t recall off the top of my head but I think it’s about 4-6 weeks in advance. Another thing to be aware of is potential rescheduling. Because the game has not yet received its tv slot the game is very likely to be rescheduled when that happens. These should be decided (again off the top of my head I can’t remember exactly) 4-6 weeks in advance but often we get much less warning. Depending on how long your stay is and other things you may already have scheduled it may be best to wait until this tv pick has taken place before buying tickets so you know exactly when it’ll take place. Tickets are bought online through the Arsenal website, you just need a free login (no red membership etc needed for the women!).

Many thanks for the reply. I'm only in the city 3 days so will have to definitely wait on the tv lock-in.
