Hands up anyone who saw that coming.
Hands up anyone that understands your name? 😉
But what about the Joel?
Was he on international? The kid needs to improve his fitness.
Not everyone can be Alexis… Campbell played 90 minutes 2 days ago, then hopped on a plane for 10,000+ miles. Jet lag is to be expected.
Seemed harsh on young Joel,
Glad to hear Jet lag is cause.
Thought he’d done OK.
Or maybe he’s carrying a knock which they prefer not to aggravate if possible.
There was a lot of talk about Alexis having to fly to Saturn’s 4th moon and back, but Joel was doing more or less the same, so he’s probably knackered.
Erm…..the bench.
Go out an enjoy yourself Gibbo!
Alexis on the right?
First goal by Gibbs from the backpost anyone?
I like it! Launch The Jeff!!
It’s a strong team and at least we have one attacker on the bench now
HECTORRRRRRRR I’ve missed you, you glorious bastard <3
Also can we get this wrapped up in the first half so we can see THE JEFF? 😉
I like the look of that.
Second that, namesake.
The Jeff on the bench, awesome
Are we to see hector-alexis on the same side?!
Rip WBA leftback.
Haha it’s Chris Brunt.
I had to look it up to start writing his obituary!
Here lies chris Brunt who was turned inside out by Alexis Sanchez and Hector Bellerin on the 21/11/2015.
Well that’s interesting, did not expect that.
I was expecting Gibbs to start ahead of Alexis, but Campbell just got back two days ago so I understand him being rested instead.
apparently The GIBBS used to be a winger at youth level
WATFORD!!!!!!!!
Oh blx!!
You are premature, never good…
Looks like our left side is our usual right side today. Nothing wrong with that
We look really really flat
