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! ?
8.) 12 Jun 2025 22:10:09

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.

Kudus
Reports that we are in for him from W Ham. surely not.
1.) 07 May 2025 14:31:34
Ed totally appreciate its way too early to be talking transfers. With K De Bryne out of contract and Martin under performing since becoming Vegan, Any whispers of any interest big or small in De Bryne who is apparently open to staying in the PL? He is 33 and would want a hefty Salary I imagine.
{Ed014's Note - I just can’t see that happening mate, I also don’t think he really has a lot left in the tank, injuries are an issue too, let alone, as you say, the likely size of his wages.
I hadn’t realised Odegaard had become vegan, I looked at him in the training photos yesterday and he looked so gaunt.
He looked ill to be honest.
2.) 08 May 2025 18:41:42
That's what I have been thinking ED14. He seems so gaunt in the face, I was worried it could be an eating disorder .
{Ed014's Note - hopefully what ever the issue is Sally he manages to resolve it over the summer, it was a little shocking to see him looking that way.
23 Jul 2024 10:18:06
Hi Eds
Any news on a potential Centre Forward, surely we need one?
{Ed002's Note - We have been through this.}
1.) 24 Jul 2024 21:15:11
Hello Banbury hope all good! Shame you escaped the classic RTFP haha COYG.
2.) 26 Jul 2024 07:43:57
Hello Susssssss
WTF is RTFP :)

You'd take a draw, but the same old record is player and we have said it for weeks now, as Highbury said we are toothless but we have the home leg to come, so hope remains.
What I will say is going on the 2 semis, God help us if we get to the final.
1.) 30 Apr 2026 07:55:51
There's always hope, Banbury mate, until there's not, but we will be gobbled up in the final if we make it. We can almost feel the pressure the team is under. We have to win something to break the shackles. Here's to the hope, COYG.
2.) 30 Apr 2026 08:23:49
Good morning, Banbury and Highbury, hope you are both safe and well.
Thought we coped well, tbh.
Ref well and truly bottled it. Still think we will through.
Talk care, everyone.
COYG.
3.) 30 Apr 2026 21:40:51
All well, Bill mate, just wondering if I will be able to wear my new Arsenal shirt to a parade. ?
27 Apr 2026 06:23:55
I have to say in all my years of watching Arsenal this current period of 'style of football' ranks amongst the worst to watch.
It's atrocious; there is nothing good about it, and then I watch Arteta celebrate as though we have won the league, that portrays someone who is under pressure and panicking.
Just a calm stroll to Eddie Howe a casual shake of the hand and walk off.
As Neville said when we were 1-0 up, we were strolling around as though we were 3 up, surely Arteta can see this?
The set piece goals were papering over our cracks with regards our ability to score in open play.
But the old saying " a win is a win " but by Christ it's tough to watch.

4EVER
Bang on with that post, nothing else to add to that.
20 Apr 2026 08:55:02
Just looking at all the fixtures, we only have one more game where we have to travel and that's to Spain, all the rest are in London, so that's one positive I have found this morning.
City have some fixture congestion for sure and it looks like their last 2 games of the season are a Friday and then the Sunday.
Really clutching at straws here. :)
{Ed025's Note - i thought you played well yesterday Banbury and were unlucky not to get a draw mate, that for me was a lot better than what we have seen recently but it does beggar the question...why have you not been like this for a couple of months?..
1.) 20 Apr 2026 19:52:51
Let's hope so.
14 Apr 2026 12:06:02
Rice not in training. That would be a blow.
{Ed025's Note - it really would mate..
1.) 14 Apr 2026 15:32:00
Maybe he is being rested for the weekend. Whoever fills in should be able to do the job against Sporting.

I agree Mal but time is against us, I still can't help thinking we will end up with Watkins.

Not a chance. :)
{Ed025's Note - a draw would be a brilliant result imo mate..
14 Apr 2026 12:07:01
If I was a senior player, I would be talking to Arteta and saying "this ain't working, mate".
{Ed025's Note - i would get all the players together and say.."listen lads just ignore what the manager says and just go out and express yourselves"..
10 Apr 2026 10:21:38
Correct, SY. :)
08 Apr 2026 13:51:04
You are spot H, it's sickening to keep hearing "second again ole ole". If we don't win anything this season, then we will be the joke of the PL. That can't be argued.
08 Apr 2026 10:37:09
I think fans HAVE to understand Arteta isn't the man, he isn't brave enough.
We sorted Bayern out last year 3-1, where has that level of performance gone?
