There is also a discussion about the competition between Laura Wienroither and Noelle Maritz at right-back.You can follow Tim on Twitter @Stillberto - Follow Art @artderocheGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
