We need to get our act together for sure, we always drag our heels, don't we?
06 May 2026 06:07:48
Great result, now put the final to one side and do your stuff on Saturday.
Well done the lads and all the fans in the stadium. What an atmosphere.

Anyone got any news on the injuries?
1.) 28 Apr 2026 18:42:04
My knee is still knackered.
12 Feb 2026 07:39:27
Havertz out for 4 games, how on earth does this keep happening.
That's a big blow IMO.
1.) 20 Feb 2026 18:49:27
Apparently he wanted to have a pain killing injection and play but the medical staff said no Banbury mate.
2.) 26 Feb 2026 16:54:20
I believe he is made of cheese.
10 Jun 2025 10:48:40
See Benny Sesko move is facing a new challenge from the Middle East.
1.) 10 Jun 2025 11:37:14
I've read he still wants European football Banbury. Hope so!
2.) 10 Jun 2025 12:58:58
I hope so Sally, let's get it done eh?
3.) 10 Jun 2025 23:06:47
Surely the biggest issue is us trying to get him for way less than buy out amount or whatever the term is. Lowballing offers ?.
4.) 11 Jun 2025 09:25:50
Feck it let's pay whatever they want ( it’s called negotiating) and once we’ve paid too much whacked his wages through the roof and he’s not that great we can moan all season a bit like Kai perhaps? Also maybe that extra £10 mill might be the difference between getting say Garnacho ( NO! ) and Laeo. Cat the moment maybe we are choosing to slam the club and its transfer policy while knowing feck all! I apologise for language and trying not to labour the point ? COYG.
5.) 11 Jun 2025 18:45:15
Well said Cumbria mate ?.
6.) 12 Jun 2025 11:15:06
Sy I know we have a history of doing that, but I don't think that is the case with Sesko,
I believe he has a Movable (stupid idea) release clause, so I think the RB are chancing their arm a bit as they know we have chased for 2 years and now there is saudi money involved. I think we will get him for less than they are trying to say, as, according to all the reports, those have always been the figures talked about.
funny how Liverpool don't get the same criticism as arsenal for going in under a figure that the club wants. they are short of Wirtz asking price but have been largely applauded for making the offer.
7.) 12 Jun 2025 15:59:12
You’re right Hampshire, if true it’s Liverpool’s third bid! I say even if you will pay the full amount put in a lower offer. I guess it’s a fine line between taking the mick and a sensible lower offer! COYG.
{Ed014's Note - please tell me you’re not labouring this point Sussex! ?

Sorry Sussex - are you saying Kai was a good purchase or are you painfully using him as a good example of a great negotiation? A player Chelsea probably could not believe anyone would want, getting 65m for EHI. egiving him the highest wage at the club while not being a player we needed. Strange point.
So if a house is on the market - offers over 2m. You think offering 1.2m is reasonable if the 2m probably isn’t a million miles away. Have you ever negotiated anything? It’s a stupid way of pretending you are interested or missing out on players you want ( sound familiar ) or getting them so late thst they don’t do preseason training with the club.
I’m not saying don’t negotiate as I’m not stupid enough to think 5m saved won’t get us a Chelsea keeper. Give me a break mate - I’ve been around and got a bit of experience. Picking Kai as example is laughable.
Crap negotiation for a player who isn’t good enough and we don’t need. That signing encapsulates what’s wrong with our club for me. Hard work over goals and not paying more for what we really need. Perhaps buying a player who’s easy to manage rather than a difficult winner who will be ruthless in front of goal but may be not track back. Was Wrighty a good defender or a good goal order. Or Anelka…. Neither of which we would sign as they like to score rather than defend.
11.) 15 Jun 2025 05:27:43
My post had nothing to do with Kai his transfer or ability! It was about you constantly slagging him off - labouring the point- and classicly you reply …. slagging Kai off! Oh and the club and MA. Not enlightening in any way shape or form, for me anyway COYG.

You say we are a different animal 62. I disagree, mate. We have always been this way in the transfer market. Hincapie and Merino will be " new signings " lol
Wire - Certainly hasn't stopped spuds or City doing business :)
The other thing I don't get is we sell players cheaply.
Still, after all this time our most expensive sale is the OX at 35 million.
I might be proved wrong when Mbappe signs, eh lol.
1.) 29 Jul 2026 08:49:35
Hi Banbury, mate. Our transfers do tend to happen out of the blue and away from the media gossip pages these days.
Maybe I will be wrong, and we will be told that we don't need additions because Liverpool, City, Chelsea all have new managers who will need time to settle in, while our manager is already well settled.
? I doubt it, but it could be the case, I guess. ????
28 Jul 2026 12:38:33
I do wonder why we are dragging our heels. Maybe players we thought were leaving are staying? I really expected players in by the start of August.
1.) 28 Jul 2026 15:56:19
All the talk about Vini Jr.. With Madrid signing Diomande, just wondering if Rodrygo is still an option? But is he any better than Martinelli, I'm not convinced.
2.) 28 Jul 2026 23:01:14
In just 3 or 4 weeks, all the wondering and all the second guessing will be over, and all will be very well indeed.
The Arsenal are a very different animal these days, and the odds on us being asked to accept a fully fit Saka and Timber as being as good as new signings are extremely low.
I'm pretty sure we will all be very excited to get our first glimpse of our new signings come 26/27 season opening night. ????
3.) 29 Jul 2026 03:22:30
World Cups always throw off timing for things. The club has barely had a pre-season and it's not even August yet.
01 Jun 2026 05:53:01
There is absolutely no doubt we have improved, winning the league most definitely soften the blow of the losing, yes I was gutted but the tag of 'Champions' is there for all to see.
We now need strong proven additions, let's get the business done early, I am sure Mikel has a 'Wishlist'.
We we went all the way through the CL campaign without losing over 90 mins / 120 minutes, shows we are no pushovers.
Well done a everyone onwards and upwards.
26 May 2026 09:40:45
We were a well known club worldwide. I am amazed at how much air time and publicity we have had. I think fans (other clubs) are also amazed at how big our fan base actually is.
What an opportunity we have to build and dominate.
With other clubs having changes and rebuilding projects, I see no reason why we can't retain the title next season.
Let's hope we spend wisely in the Summer.
Now for Saturday, this is so so big. Winning it would make this side the best in the club's history. What an achievement that would be.
If Timber was playing I'd be very confident, IMO opinion it's a flip of a coin.
1.) 26 May 2026 11:35:52
Agree, Banbury, exciting times. Despite the excellent squad, not happy with right back marking Kvarasheila (spelling) . Has to be Mosquera, I would think, with Saka helping a lot, which blunts the attack. Best defence v best attack, as you say, if we shut them out, we are well in it.
That's very tricky, but we almost have the personnel! By the way, my son's birthday, but also, Happy 1989! It's up for grabs! But, like Saturday, really. Coyg.

On the Ben White injury, it's sad that at the real business end of the season he has picked up this injury. Wish him a speedy recovery.
On the player himself, never been a fan.
I think he has such a poor attitude, and if I was a team mate I would be wondering "why have I got a player alongside me who shows no interest in football?"
Just wondering if the injury means he now stays for another season?
1.) 14 May 2026 10:29:56
109% agree & sad he's injured, but good no op required.
Frustrates me as a fan, & imagine it drives teammates mad esp as playing in a different position.

And a penny .. eh? :)
23 Jul 2026 06:12:55
The trouble is that budget was set before the ridiculous Anderson fee and it's clearly inflated the market, Arsenal must adjust accordingly.
Surely, after the success of last season, this summer of all summers, we can afford to be a bit extravagant, not careless, but just a tad more 'flash' with the cash?
22 Jul 2026 09:23:36
Well, he's joined the biggest club in London, so he will be happy.
21 Jul 2026 09:39:46
You got this wrong, Dubs, me old mate. :)
21 Jul 2025 08:53:18
I agree Mal but time is against us, I still can't help thinking we will end up with Watkins.

23 Jul 2026 12:19:41
Has to be a money thing. Players nowadays just want a huge bank balance. If we aren't careful, we could end up with a very disappointing transfer window, when, let's be honest, at the end of May, huge sums of money were being talked about.
23 Jul 2026 06:54:38
Probably worth a bit more than our opinion, 62, lol.
22 Jul 2026 12:58:01
Is Tzolis any good then? Henry rates him, so ......
22 Jul 2026 12:20:50
Who do you see leaving us? We know Jesus will go, and Trossard has gone, but who else do you see going?
20 May 2026 07:13:48
Blimey a blast from the past LOL.
