Reality check : It’s not going to be easy.

Very well reasoned article Ambarish.

I would argue that Villa could be also in the reckoning if they get another couple of players in. Tottenham, as you say, look the team most likely to be dropped from the chasing pack.

Liverpool look worrying, as they have addressed their midfield weakness with two good players incoming. Another argument for selling Partey would be that it could mean that we get Lavia in , which would take him out of Liverpool’s hands if they sell Fabinho.

Arteta has been stubborn when rotating, part of this stubbornness has been a lack of belief in his alternatives. As it stands, I would argue that it’s only RW (and possibly CF) where he might still need convincing to rest Saka enough. With Trossard, ESR, Timber, KT, Kiwior, TT, Partey, Jorginho we have eight outfield players who can be rotated in and out – some more than others. The CF back up is less clear for obvious reasons. The twelve selections either side of CL matches will make very interesting reading!

With five subs, it’s clearly also about how long starters stay on the pitch before being replaced by fresh legs, to limit their minutes . In an ideal world we’ll be comfortably winning games, rather than chasing them, encouraging earlier game time rotation.

Nice piece Ambarish.

My biggets surprise so far is ManU and Newcastle haven’t spent more – I assumed the takeover at ManU was going to get done and dusted quickly and they’d look to make a couple of statement signings. Newcastle ended up in the CL probably a season sooner than they planned I thought they’d look to capitalise on that.

Beyond that the Spuddie’s look fucked – especially if Kane leaves and its possible Levy will do a Levy special and hang it out so long to squeeze some extra cash out of the deal that they don’t have time to bring in the right replacement.

Villa will also be a team that takes points off of the top teams if they’re not at their best.

Well laid out thoughts, Ambarish. An interesting season ahead.

Manure are relegated to our trolly dashes by the look of it. I couldn’t be happier. The Glaziers have done to Ten Hag what Raul did to Emery only with transfer funds rather than bringing in unwanted players. The Glaziers were the best thing to happen to Manure where I’m disappointed they are selling up or is this just a ruse to get out of spending in this TW?
.
I would imagine they might be big spenders in January.

Ambarish
I agree with the others – a really sound analysis of the present and the coming season. Your assessments of the 2 Manchester clubs and Liverpool accord with mine, and they’ll be our competition (although Liverpool’s front 3 might still be underdone). However, I think Chelsea wil struggle to adapt to Poch’s high work rate ethos. They’ll have a reduced fixture list but I still think their players are a group of disconnected individuals rather than a cohesive team. I’m looking forward to Spurs’s post Kane trolley dash based on what happened when they sold Bale. Soldado, Chadli and Lamela calibre players. Newcastle? I’m not sure they’re ready to improve either.

This season I want to see a little bit more swagger from Arsenal. Teams needs to fear our technical ability but also know that we’re going to bring aggression and will to win and an enthusiasm for dealing firmly with referees. Ode needs to be more vocal along with others such as Gab M, Rice, Ramsdale and Saka.

Has anyone been appointed in Round’s place yet?

Tony,

I can’t make my mind up whether the Glaziers don’t want to sell but need to make ManU fans think they will or are just asking for a crazy price.

Either way they’ve got a good manager in Ten Haag and if they don’t spend they’ll have no chance of top 4.

Kroenke

I think it’ll take the Poooooch a couple of seasons to really get Chelsea into shape but I can see them being miles better than they were last season.

To be honest part of that is easy – he’s got to select a squad of circa 25 players and go with them and then tell the owners to deal with the rest of them.

I love the photo by the way. The Emirates and the Home of Football. My flat is about 300 metres walk away from where the clock end meets the old east stand. Good memories.

Ambarish

The most intelligent assessment I have seen anywhere.
Without emotion ( except regarding Tottie_hamsters )
And
Without drama like in Le Potage (potato puree)

Thank you for the effort you put in . The passion for Arsenal comes free though

Kroenke,
I use to live about 1cm N of the tower block on the left of the four, Lowman Road. Took me around 6 mins to get from my house to my seat.

A good friend of mine used to run a pirate station from one of the tower blocks on Harvist Estate to the right. It was as much a glorified youth club than a station.

Kids these days with their spotifies and youtubes will never appreciate the stress we went through to avoid shit music

Good to see some North London heads on here.

Bob and Aitcho

North East London was the place to be in the capital in the 90s. It probably still is. When I bought my place (a flat just to the north of Highbury Barn) non-Arsenal friends thought I was mad having a place so near the ground (what’s so bad about leaving for the clock end at 2.45 sometimes and being home in time for final scores?)

But that belt of communities from Camden across to Dalston and Hackney, and from Crouch End south to Shoreditch and King’s Cross were the places to go out in. Pirate radio stations everywhere (remember Girl’s fm?) and even Kiss fm on the Holloway Road was fresh back then. Coming out of the cross and bagleys as the sun was coming up and kids were handing out flyers for the coming week.

But I knew gentrification was on the way when they opened a cheese shop and did up the Highbury Barn. I took my custom up Blackstock Road to the Gunners after that.

Did you indulge in 5/6 a side football at the time? We sometimes played at the Sobell (everyone in different variations of Arsenal kits) but we mainly played outside down the City Road in Homerton just south of the canal.

City Road? I must be thinking about Cardiff. New North Road.

KP, I used to play at Sobell every Friday when I went to Islington Sixth Form back when it was based at Annette Rd, next door to Jones Brothers now Waitrose, and Benwell Rd. My football stomping grounds were Market Rd and the Marshes, 7 and 11 a side respectively. After the Di Canio ref pushing my team was in the Sun in a feature about how tough refs had it. My team also used to play at the JVV centre Arsenal Lunchtime League 5 a sides, all the local big dogs had their representatives in that and the medals were worth winning, solid with a big embossed Arsenal Crest. They used to bring a local ‘celeb’ to do the end of session presentations. The highlights being, Phill Mitchell and Glen Helder. I managed to liberate a whole Arsenal 89 home kit, 1-14 from one of the changing rooms one lunchtime, still have it.

Do you mean the Finsbury Leisure centre. I never played there much back then.

It’s such a shame how kiss dropped off so quickly. Did you go to the opening all dryer at the Fields when LL Cool J performed? The days when Glastonbury acted like anything other than indie and rock was pointless.

Thanks for indulging me.

Football-wise. Other teams should improve but apart from ManC they were cack last season, they’ll be less cack this. But on paper we’ve also improved now, they’re playing catch up to us. Hopefully with a better squad, Tet’s well recognise rotational issues will be less of an issue.. We showed last season we’re good enough to win the damn thing. I expect ManC to be our only serious rivals while the rest address their shit-ness.

My word how generations change as the way I see it we had it good in our days because we had to work for it, sometimes as Aitcho alluded harder than seemed worth it, but of course it was. Today, it’s all too easy and technology is to blame for that.
.

Part of my youth was in East Ham; not the best place to live in as a Gooner and after a few pugilist disagreements as TRVL would say, my choice of club was accepted because they noted I was different as they labelled me.
.

Picture this for different. I had all sorts of mates I didn’t subscribe to the skins or greasers: I just did me. So, I told some skin mates I knew I’d just bought a bike with them thinking Lambretta or Vesper.
.

Imagine their faces when they were at the traffic lights on their pregnant hairdryer scooters going pop pop pop all crombis/parkers and sta press with blood spattered Dr martins they’d never wash off and probably got it from the local abattoir.
.
I rocked up on this compared to scatter roaring BSA Starfire also wearing a crombi, but with steel toe caps boots, as on bikes we used our feet on corners when needed; something scooters couldn’t do with running boards. Then, when they tried to keep up, the sparks were fun to watch before the rider took to the air, as I’d watch in my wing mirrors. Skins and Mods collectively were never that bright. 🙂
.

Back then music and football and the lure of foreign soils was my life. Don’t laugh at the Starfire it was a beast in it’s day in the 70s and didn’t look half as silly as the multi mirror scooter mods.
.

To the modern generations think: Oasis plastic pop fans vs Guns & Roses hells angels and general spit and sawdust rock fans.

Back in my day it was the Beatles vs The Rolling Stones and, of course, I liked both and then Pink Floyd & Cat Stevens.

Sorry I digressed down memory lane or was it Pound Lane or Penny Lane.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-rB0pHI9fU
.
I had mates from Dalston and Hackney and from around the Blind Beggar and Empress of India. Those from the area will know those battle cruisers well, as did my mates and my mates dads’. All Gooners so home from home in those days.
.
Back in those days those areas were tough boroughs or manors to this who ran them. Most of my mates dad’s worked for the crews of the day truck driving and various businesses we never knew about.
.
I used to call them honest villains because they looked after the old and lived by codes that rarely involved the public. You could walk the streets any time back then and even leave your back doors unlocked.
.
That was 50 years ago. How the UK has changed. I lived it and got out thankfully.
.
Now it’s probably best if you invest in a stab proof vest to go to Tesco or travel around the city and now villages around the country are experiencing knife crime. Give it another 20 years when the migrants have all had kids and the Albanians are taking on the Russians et al.
.

To sum it up a good successful friend who is a true Brit patriot said to me recently he’s been looking to become an expat and has looked at Europe, America (Hawaii) and other countries, such as Panama, Peru and Colombia that are being written about as good places to retire.
.
I agreed with him the choice is very small these days.
.
Back to football, not much happening or worth writing about. It’s a waiting game for us Gooners.
.
Have a good one.

As the Rolling Stones rolled on the style led me to so many amazing styles of music. Long live the old Rhythm & Blues.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyyoP5MBWFE

My sons both played in teams on Market Road. I use to play occasionally at the Sobell in the early 2000s before I got frustrated with my inability to play as I used to.

Bob
What position did you favour?

Me, the old center half and anywhere along the back 4 when 442 became the new system. I was seriously quick, still am for my age. My challenge was keeping possession at full speed. Rarely happened, so I kept up with the opponent’s speedsters defending.
.

It’s why I was so much better at rugby. I had the speed of a winger playing 10, 11 or 12, so was a handful. At 15 I played for the local men’s team at fullback, which became my best position.
.
I could naturally think rugby when playing, where as I couldn’t think football anywhere near the same, if that makes sense.

Midfield Tony, loved to tackle and shout a lot! Played scrum half mostly.

Am I the only who thinks the new away kit is bloody awful?

It’s indeed bloody awful. That too when Adidas had made one of the best away shirt last season.

Not sure about it too but if we win the league it’ll be iconic like the famous bruised banana strip! Should be able to spot a teammate though, psychadelic zebra!

Bob

I liked the bruised banana kit – it was different this just looks odd but as you say no one would care if we did something major in it.

Tony, I’m not sure London is getting more dangerous or if its just perception driven by media and a device to increase both police powers and powers of the Courts.

In 1970 there were 105 murders in London, in 2022, 109. In real terms, London was probably safer per capita than 50 years ago.

Sometimes we’re more influenced by anecdotes and shock stories than the data

Bob
“Should be able to spot a teammate though, psychadelic zebra!”

For someone not under the influence of alcohol or other perception changing substance may find it lot more confusing.

Aitcho
Interesting fact, but knife crime was rare in the 70s as were drug gangs. It’s aways safe until it happens to you and whether you’re equipped to handle it. Then muggings again rare in the 70s. London murders maybe similar to today, but the streets are a lot less safe than they were in the 70s. The problem is it’s only going to get worse with the migrants extending poverty through the country creating more crime.
.
It’s not all trouble free here. Certain streets pay for police to come round and clock in several times a day. Bigger houses and factories have their own 24/7 security.
.
Nowhere is safe but I wouldn’t let Junior go to uni in England. Edinburgh uni I’d be happy for him to go. More likely he’ll go to Vancouver as it’s safer than LA and there are many recording studios he can go to find work at weekends.

Market Road (always an Aussie or Kiwi hippy outside trying to sell a VW dormobile) just up the road from the Gin Palace and not too far from Shillibeers. I used to play there with my old (politically) right wing friend Keir Starmer (who was a short arsed midfield terrier) in the 90s. Holland Park, Wormwood Scrubs, Battersea Park and the Marshes plus numerous games in Hoxton, Homerton, Shoreditch and the Western side of Hackney. I once tried playing at about 11am on a Sunday after having popped a final E for the night at about 4am. All I can remember is trying to head everything that came into the box. The result? Massive fucking head and neck ache!

Tony – that BSA is beautiful. It sounds as if you ploughed your own furrow in the 70s/80s cult wars.

The streets in the UK are probably safer for South Asian migrants now than the 70s. So there’s that.

Perception is important. Mugging happened in the 70s, its why there have been laws against it since before the mass migration of the 50s and 60s.

As important is how a country manages migration. Qatar does it very well, it doesn’t increase poverty, Japan does it very well, it doesn’t increase poverty. Its almost as if us in majority white countries have difficulty with migrants.

The trope of migrants being workshy scroungers is just that. Most people emigrate, migrate to improve their prospects financially or improve their quality, or just chances, of living. It’s the same for Brit expats in Dubai as it is for Somali taxi drivers in Shepherds Bush.

Nobody travels thousands of miles for a council house and £75/wk universal credit. Imagine showing the rellies back home if you’d ended up in an South East Asian slum. Reverse that for any migrant who comes to the UK from that part of the world. They don’t come here to be poor or increase poverty and crime.

The ‘problem’ which we’ve established is only one of perception isn’t getting worse and I’m tired of expats, ie white economic migrants who haven’t lived here for years carping on about how bad the UK is ‘getting’ when it’s still still global destination and one of the best countries in the world to live. It’s like the Brexit ranters losing their mind over there not being any white nurses or not hearing English on the high St like it’s some cause for alarm.

And I’m tired of this veneration of old gangsters like the East End was some peaceful independent state. People who lived there lived in fear in the Kray era, they weren’t Robin Hoods and very often robbed from ‘their own’. Yes you could leave your back door open, there was nothing to nick from worming class houses in them days, but you couldn’t run an honest business without the risk of the Krays extorting money from you.

If our country is getting worse it’s due to the muppets who have been in charge not a few brown faces.

On current the most current international stats, which I recognise aren’t your feelings, Canada has a higher murder rate per capita than the UK. Tell the boy to come to London and enjoy living in one of the world’s best cities.

Ambarish
Just out of nosey interest, are you planning anything special to market LiR in various parts of the world before the season starts? Is there anything we can do to support it? Maybe you could reach out to AFTV for example to see if they’d give you a ‘shout-out’ as an India-based site for Gooners?

I’d be happy to contribute some old shirts /memorabilia if you wanted to run a competition.

More fans from diverse backgrounds (female and male) would be a brilliant addition to us old farts. We’re all cynical about the club to a fault (except Bob!) but I reckon we’d give a warm and inclusive welcome to any new posters.

Tony

One of the problems with crime today is perception – with a 24 hour news cycle things get reported to death and hyped to a crazy level. Is it more dangerous or are we just all scared into believing it is?

Aitcho/Marc
That’s fair in what you both say. I lived in and out of the area as my mates were from there. Their dad’s worked for…… so as youngsters we never felt fear going out. The hospital was close to the Blind Beggar, so great area to chat up nurses after their shifts then take them on for a ruby murry in the early 70s.

The new kit does leave one with few words. Truth be I don’t much care about shirts so they could play in mankinis as long as they are winning trophies.
.
Junior just said great idea the defenders will be stuffed at corners as whats can they grab? Got to to be loads of penalty shouts.
.
Looking at the women’s team they should stay in normal kits.

Have to say I like the video!

“Mikel Arteta didn’t speak to William Saliba for a week in ‘cold shoulder’ approach”

Bob
You wonder why I don’t like Arteta try reading the above article.
.
The kid had just lost his parents and Arteta wanted to see if he had character? Please don’t try to put a spin on this, Bob. You’ll make yourself look worse than Arteta.
.
What an absolute cunt Arteta is.

I’ve aways seen strength in Saliba, never weakness. Youthfulness, sure, he’s what 19 then?
.

Saliba has said today he wants to be the best in the world; I don’t think he’s far off it and it’s why we paid £30m+ for Saliba. Arteta didn’t want him because he didn’t sign Saliba. Arteta did everything to get rid of Saliba at the time including deriding him.
.

Shows that Saliba has more maturity and inner strength than Arteta will ever have.
.
The point I was making about Havertz being the top earner with us and Rice earning less was purely down to: we know what we get with Rice. With Havertz we don’t have a clue. His stats are poor in the PL and his first run out was underwhelming the label he made his own at The Chavs and I guarantee Rice’s first outing will be raved about because he’s a far better all round player, in a more key position and likely captain.
.
Something that junior pointed out the other week and said to me, “Bob does like his nuances where he never really addresses the point; he sorts of skirts round it”. At first I was impressed with his English. Then I said how very observant of you.
.
We all say it, Bob. Last person was Marc. It’s not a problem for me or the others per se here, but you can’t claim to have impartiality if you don’t address the topic fully. To chip around the edges to find something to spin with does not match your real intelligence; it devalues it.
.
We’re all family here even if you are the black sheep 🙂 As Gooners we all live as one and then emotions gets the better of us and things get disjointed for a while while we lick our surface wounds and become one again- wash, rinse & repeat.
.
The essence of this is I still think Arteta the man (I use term very loosely) is a 24 carat cnut!!!!! The football manager? We are still waiting to find out after nearly 4 years, aren’t we?
.
Arteta will never change the weak man he is inside in dealing with people. The problem is this inherent weakness that leads the bully in Arteta also permeates into his football tactics, which is why we haven’t won anything yet.
.
Ten Hag who I wanted instead of Arteta is well documented from 2 seasons ago. Also a ruthless manager. He has the same challenges as Arteta had joining Manure and yet he managed 3rd and a cup in his first season. Thankfully, Ten Hag has to fight the Glaziers, so it’s unlikely he’ll start this season the way he will have wanted to.
.
Hate to say it I will be very surprised if Pochetino doesn’t have his side purring by Xmas. Again, a far better manager than Arteta who would have been better for us, and his players highly respect him.
.
Addressing your belief that Harvetz is going to be the LIR poster boy subject of hate and ridicule; well, if he merits it? Yes he will come under serious attack, and so will Arteta because then we’ll have our highest paid player turning out to be another Auba or Ozil or Willian even, who we can’t get rid of for 5 years. Sound about right?
.
Unlike LG we tell it like it is here. Sadly, we are rarely wrong in our beliefs, as so many weren’t on LG before being binned for telling what turned out to be the truth. Pedro, is as weak as Arteta. It’s why he needs to be: Salnycparadise, Coneta, NT and a few others to boss and troll his blog. Stands to reason he’s been doing it from the start with Geoff I mean why would he start now with NT? Up to him if being a fraud is ok with him, and this is the way he has to control his blog. Still a few great posters there, Bob, you being one.
.
It is what it is, Bob. We are all bored stupid waiting for the season to start, not to see Arteta fail, but where the process wheel stops next?
.
In 25 days we’ll start to find out and ten weeks after be able to state our views on the season where hopefully we are top again. Without a 20+ goal a season striker we won’t be is my thinking so let’s hope I’m wrong.
.
Europe is getting our summers; 45*C to 50*C are not unusual each year. Problem is Europe is not prepared for it. If it hits the UK, I hope you all invest fun A/C at least on one room.
.
Clime change is very real!

*are not unusual for S E Asia each year*

climate*

Aitcho
I didn’t really have time to reply last night my time.
.
I’m not saying the 70s was violence free, far from it. Nor were the villains of the time gentlemen. But, they are in isolation of a few gangs north and south of the river then up in Manchester. How many gangs today are extorting their own people? How many drug wars are there today compared to the 70s?
.
You can find facts to support your argument, but again I have friends in Canada who give us the full story of what living in Canada is like.
.
Aitcho, may I suggest you live in other countries before you just quote statistics. I base my UK opinions firmly on people who I respect their views who I have known for decades and still reside in various areas of the country. You, on the other hand have the Internet’s facts, but no personal data, just black and white facts.
.
Your dislike of us who feel the UK is systematically falling apart is unsubstantiated by fact. You seem to think we are clueless expats. It is, if you open up your eyes to what’s really going on. It’s a fallacy if you think we expats aren’t in touch with friends and relatives still living in the UK. The Internet and press are the last areas we look.
.
With friends from around the globe, we all talk and discuss world events as we see them happening in the affected countries. All of us would like to move or would have liked to move over the years, but to where exactly? Our moving would be more for a change of scenery than not liking where we resided. Itchy feet if you like.
.
My wife is just back from 2 weeks in Europe on business and also assessing Europe as a whole and didn’t like what she found. Brexit has screwed the British chances of permanent residence in a warmer clime and healthier way of life. So, yes, the government you elected are useless and will increasingly be useless for you to live with.
.
Do you not consider, Aitcho, that standards have declined so much over the last 50 years? Schools, Health care, homeless, crime and many more areas. Finances are running out and services levels are dropping. Migrants are getting 5* luxury while the homeless some from the armed forces get nothing and looked down upon.
.
Yes, great city to send Junior to if he even wanted to go.
.
You sound like you are wealthy and live above the poverty lines in middle class or higher. Therefore, you are not affected with day to day life worrying about inflation and paying the bills.
.
On top of that London is one of the world’s terrorists’ top targets and continues to be with 39 foiled attempts reported recently.
.
As a family we were looking forward to a life in France, but my wife and very successful friends have warned me off, as they were looking to France first as an expat residence.
.
It’s a very sad world these days. Will Putin go rogue who knows? Before you start quoting countries stats go live in them first or at least have traveled to a certain country enough times to have spent moths there and then you will b e qualified to tell me different because, like me, you will have experienced it.
.
Having lived in 5 countries and worked in many more, I have a good source of intelligence from around the world from people living there offering me local knowledge today and from the past.
.
You, on the other hand, have the Internet and the press who never let the truth spoil a good story. You’ll find I’m a lot different from your average expat as are my circle of global friends.

You alright Tony? Seems like you got out of the bed on the wrong side?

I find it hard to ignore it when someone has an extremely forceful opinion that I don’t agree with. I don’t think Arteta is either a c*nt or a terrible man manager. Is he without fault, of course he isn’t!

Often in my responses I try to avoid stating categorically that someone is wrong, I put out an argument that hopefully gives someone their own opportunity to consider their position ( nuance if you prefer).

Better stop there.

Britain is different than the 70s, some changes are certainly for the better, some things less so. The idea that migrants are getting 5* luxury does sound like it’s come out of a Daily Mail, Express editorial mind you!

It would be interesting to hear KP’s & TRVL’s thoughts. KP has probably lived in twice as many countries as me and is currently in the fine Welsh valley’s coastal parts.
.
TRVL being our resident Canadian can give us the real lived Canada thinking on this subject while the football is slow.
.
Bob and I have touched on this before, so I know how he thinks the same as you, Aicho, considering London and the UK safe at least, and Bob has lived in less safe environs in Central America, so he does have a valid comparison of the country and culture.
.
Have you lived outside the UK, Aitcho? Would help to know so as to see where you’re drawing you’re experience from outside of online?

“I don’t think Arteta is either a c*nt or a terrible man manager. Is he without fault, of course he isn’t!”
.

Morning Bob, No, I got up in a decent frame of mind and I’m not forcing any view on you but Arteta’s treatment of Saliba was deplorable. I didn’t say what you thought other than to gloss over the situation saying Arteta is not without faults. Your Arteta thoughts are well known and dare I say it but sitting on the fence with “he’s not there yet” and “I’ve not fully bought into Arteta yet”.
.
That’s fair to say, Bob, but I’m struggling with you thinking Saliba’s treatment is down to a fault. You appear to trivialize the situation when others are upset and triggered. Also, let’s not see this in isolation; ESR, Martinelli, Saka (played too much), Eddie, Bolagun and others no doubt. I’m the one saying Arteta is a Cnut! I’ve called out Arteta tactics since he’s been here and especially for the last 2 seasons. He was a poor manager or we would have been in the CL last season and won the title this season.
.
You have a unique way of defending the indefensible by bypassing the main point and wrapping it conveniently such as in his faults. Faults to me is talking while eating, personal hygiene et al.
.
NOT seeing if a 19 year old kid who’d just lost his parents and was in a new country if he would break. Arteta is a Cnut for doing that to Saliba and others.
.
We are always going to butt heads at times, Bob. we often have opposing views when the shit is hitting the fan. I say we lost the title you say we did well coming 2nd. Can you imagine what that says to a serial winner who would throw a runner up medal away privately.
.
I’d bet a pound to a penny with you that if we had Ten Hag instead of Arteta we’d never be opposing each other’s views. Ten Hag is tough and even ruthless, but he’s also very fair.
.
It’s why so many of wanted him. Let’s see where Ten Hag is after 4 years and make a comparison. That is if the Glaziers ever decide to sell.

Telegraph not Daily Mail:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/11/04/albanian-migrants-among-dozens-refugees-housed-luxury-hotel/

What about the floating barge? Why couldn’t that house your homeless instead of migrants?

I’ll leave you to answer the last question, Bob. 🙂
