Arsenal Transfer Banter

28 Sep 2025 18:46:45
Feel so much better about the season after seeing how we went about our business today - really happy. Well done boys and well done Arteta.

28 Sep 2025 18:41:29
Best performance so far this season.
Got the ball forward a lot quicker.
I think this result is fantastic and we will kick on from this
Take care all of you.

28 Sep 2025 18:49:41
Excellent performance and result Bill mate ?, exactly the approach we've all been asking for??.

28 Sep 2025 18:51:33
Totally agree

Hopefully that’s the game we look back on and say that’s when it changed

We will be fine if we play with that intent and Vik will benefit from it.

28 Sep 2025 19:24:34
Exactly, Bill. Much better than the tactics against City last week.

28 Sep 2025 18:39:38
Far far far better performance, intent and attitude that paid off with a super win. Well played boys. That's how we need to go about our business, ? ? ?

Eze and Timber were immense

Few players need to remember it's a man's game and be stronger but Gabs made up for it.

Really happy - now let's build on this and step up the intent.

28 Sep 2025 18:46:24
Sy you give me a hard on when you talk like that.

28 Sep 2025 19:15:14
Totally agree, Gabi definitely should've done better but as you said he made up for his mistake and got us the winner.

28 Sep 2025 22:02:06
Glad about that bud - onwards and upwards ?.

28 Sep 2025 17:31:53
Much more positive approach ?, very unlucky to be behind.

28 Sep 2025 18:37:29
Totally deserved and well won 3pts. Went for it and made it happen for ourselves ????.

28 Sep 2025 18:54:17
Could be defining result John mate.

28 Sep 2025 19:02:36
Very true - missed you on live chat bud.
Hope you are well.

28 Sep 2025 20:02:11
Let's today marks the day we decided to throw off the shackles and really go for it Bill mate ?. All good in this hood Sy and hope it's the same with you and yours mate ?.

28 Sep 2025 15:26:52
How does Trossard keep his place over Martinelli. at least Eze starts down the middle.
Bench still lacks a striker - hopefully sort that in Jan.

COYG - let's get after it ??.

28 Sep 2025 17:02:45
Liking what I see! Proud of the team, this is what we are capable of! COYG.

28 Sep 2025 17:23:53
And breath…. we will score 2 in the next half!

28 Sep 2025 17:36:11
How on gods green earth was that not a penalty absolutely criminal decision. if that happened up the other end the geordies would be screaming for a penalty and red card. ?? same old geordies always cheating ??.

28 Sep 2025 18:10:28
Stonewall pen Gabs mate.

28 Sep 2025 11:35:51
Eddie ⚽️?& Danny ⚽️⚽️??yesterday. once a gunner always a gunner ? it's now up to us to do the business today. COYG/ VTH. ?⚪️❤️.

28 Sep 2025 13:11:30
Hello Gabi hope you and everyone are well.3pts today is a must. Chelsea playing Liverpool next week where as we have a game against the Hammers which no disrespect to them we should win which would take us into the international break top of the prem
Take care Gabi.

28 Sep 2025 13:51:58
Playing Newcastle under Eddie Howe is almost always a really tough game to get 3pts from, but if we are going to be champions its a game where we have be brave and go for those 3pts from start to finish.

Mikels over cautious approach against Liverpool and City has raised a question mark about whether he has the mentality to take us that final step up from challengers to champions even amongst many fans who have previously backed him, hopefully his approach today will go a long way to easing people's concerns about him and his ability to see the excellent job he's done at Arsenal up to now to its ultimate conclusion.

I have no doubts about our excellent squad/ teams capability to win one or both of the big trophies on offer i just hope Arteta gets to the manager who leads us to them.

28 Sep 2025 10:50:14
Lovely to see Danny Welbeck on fire yesterday. 36 and still going strong. ? ⚽️.

28 Sep 2025 11:21:03
He seems to have been in his form ever over the last couple of seasons Sally, and he also seems to miss less games through injuries now days. Really pleased for him ?.

28 Sep 2025 10:38:05
Let's get after The Toon. COYG

Martinelli on LW
Saka on RW
EZE in the middle (Ode on bench)
Gabs or Rice as Captain

Play with intent and let's make a statement PERFORMANCE please. The INTENT and PERFORMANCE is key for how he move forward and start looking like champions plus giving Viktor a chance to shine. Noni will be a big miss as Saka doesn't look ready yet.

Big performance please - looking forward to KO. COYG.

28 Sep 2025 08:50:40
Good morning Gooners, let's hope we take advantage of yesterday's results.
On a more important thing check out the mural of Billy Vigor down at the Emirates
Take care everyone.

{Ed's Note - Tusole has posted a new article entitled, Chelsea FC No Longer Has A Trophy Winning Policy?

26 Sep 2025 21:16:57
The one that got away……Harry Kane, the goal machine. Already 100 goals for Bayern and could possibly reach 100 for England. Glad he moved to Bayern and got the trophy his career deserves.

27 Sep 2025 09:52:27
That's a bit OTT Highbury mate LOL.

27 Sep 2025 17:21:05
Not really Bill mate, baffling how our academy didn’t see the potential in him, always hated when he scored for the spuds against us but he is one of the best England strikers of all time.
On the other hand, one of our own has done us a huge favour against Liverpool, our turn to do the job tomorrow! COYG!

27 Sep 2025 17:43:37
Can see your argument Highbury mate.
Deffo Eddie has done us a favour, it's must win for us tomorrow
COYG??.

27 Sep 2025 18:21:41
Wasn't he 10 years old or something when the club let him go?

Loads of kids who went on to become great players suffered rejection at some stage and equally loads of kid's who were retained throughout their childhood get released by clubs at 16 to 18 and end up drifting out of the game completely.

How did Newcastle allow Shearer to end up at Southampton and didn't Chelsea let Salah and KDB go when they were in their 20s?

{Ed001's Note - Keegan scrapped the youth programme at Newcastle, so Shearer went to Saints.}

27 Sep 2025 18:34:00
Thanks Ed001.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome. }

27 Sep 2025 19:06:20
Just out of curiosity Ed mate, why did Keegan scrap youth system, was it for economic reasons.

{Ed001's Note - he didn't think it was worthwhile as he had no interest in developing youngsters.}

27 Sep 2025 19:12:59
Yes G62, that’s always the case, we can never predict, however, I can’t think of anyone except him who we released or who left us and went on to have a stellar career like he did. So for him, I always have the ‘what could have been’ thought at the back of my mind.

27 Sep 2025 19:15:35
Thanks for the insight Ed.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome.}

27 Sep 2025 19:35:08
Zlaten Ibrahimovic was arguably a bigger slip up Highbury mate. Admittedly it was pretty arrogant for a 17 year old to say " I don't do auditions " but he certainly backed up that arrogant attitude on the pitch over the next 20 years.

27 Sep 2025 19:57:20
Serge Gnabry was a big miss although not a youth product.

27 Sep 2025 20:27:20
Zlatan is Zlatan :D but we never had him on our boooks.
Yes SY, Gnabry is a good shout, he had decent tome in Germany after leaving us.

27 Sep 2025 21:16:27
Apparently Zlaten was very happy to join us and willing to sign a contract but not do an audition before signing Highbury. Personally i'd say letting a 17 year old Ibrahimovic slip through our fingers was a much bigger mistake than allowing a 10 year old Harry Kane leave the club.
