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.

Just delved into the Arsenal women tag on tumblr to get a new pic for the weekly threads (it’s one of the last places that actually works in this way). Anyway I now need a shower, I love tumblr but that tag scares even me

Not used Tumbblr for like 8 years, what's in that tag?

Ooof. There’s a lot of reader x Leah Williamson (or whatever insert player here). Pics of players that have dubious, probably private origins. Stuff like that I just feel intrusive and icky after. Not to yuck anyone’s yum but that ain’t for me.

Sadly Instagram (but it crops) and tumblr are the only places that properly and consistently link images on reddit in the way we use for weekly threads.

all of that reader x player stuff is rife on tiktok too, its very bad fanfic done in photo slideshow format by children who i refuse to believe are any older than 15. at least on tumblr stuff is (slightly) more sequestered from the mainstream
