“Someone has to take responsibility. That’s me and we have the most beautiful period of the season ahead of us. And now is the moment. In the season, you always have moments.
Normally two or three. This is the first moment that we have.”
It’s the second boss - we lost a cup final. If we are honest, a good few games also when we’ve been poor. Be honest man!

“Of course, Arsenal are expected to strengthen up front – maybe a striker, maybe a winger – but not Kvaratskhelia. Nothing concrete between Arsenal and PSG on this one.”
Fingers crossed that after £200m or so, we get a proper striker and a deadly winger that can beat people for the left wing.

Welcome Cristhian Mosquera! Deals coming in thick and fast. ??
What happens to Kiwior - will we keep him.
Just need a LW now and then that's a complete window subject to departures.
Staying positive DG ?.

Need to get Gyokeres over the line this is dragging a bit too much.
2.) 15 Jul 2025 13:18:28
Hey mark mate, could be a mega window?
3.) 15 Jul 2025 13:31:18
Hi Sy. Personally, hope we keep Kiwior. He 100% proved he's a decent player at bsck end of last season. Saliba, gabs, Kiwior and lad from valencia as our choices at CB would be brilliant as well as others that could cover in emergency (white, timber, calafiori)
We've looked good defensively for last couple of seasons, add to that Kepa, its a solid backline with good reinforcement.

Hey Mark. Been the best I've seen in a longtime.
5.) 15 Jul 2025 14:42:49
Lots to talk about on the pre-season friendlys coming up on live chat
How are you buddy?
6.) 15 Jul 2025 15:12:59
I'm ok mate trying to stay out of trouble and now that wage robber has gone it should be easy ?
How was the pub crawl, I mean holiday.
7.) 15 Jul 2025 18:15:54
It was good mate starting the next leg of the journey middle of August.

Welcome to Arsenal Gyokeres - let's get some goals! COYG ❤️?❤️?
Roll on Rod and Eze.
20 Jun 2025 14:43:22
Ed, happy Friday. Are we looking to bring in competition for Ode? Are we looking at Bilal El Khannouss? Hope we get competition for Ode.
{Ed014's Note - who knows SY, plenty of links but we see them all the time.
Really just be good if Odegaard gets back to the form of 23/24, that’s my priority.
That season, apart from 3 goals scored he had better stats than the 2nd coming of our lord Jesus, or as he’s known on the Liverpool page, Florian Wirtz. ?
That was his title winning season too.
But going back to Bilal El Khannouss, that really is anyone’s guess. One of the rumours said Arsenal are the closest to signing him, was that last week, this week, earlier on Thursday afternoon or as of 4pm today.
Nice to see you believing something else an ex pro has said, who hasn’t been at the club for donkeys and I’d very much doubt knows anyone in the know. ?
Happy Friday!
1.) 20 Jun 2025 15:54:34
True but I have a soft spot for O’Leary for one reason or another.
I need to stop that but I don’t see why the club wouldn’t back a striker signing and Arteta loves Kai for some reason so what Big Dave said seems highly likely. He probably has a little bitterness towards the club but I trust him more than Robson’s opinion.
Point taken…. ?.
{Ed014's Note - he does like Kai, hence why he bought him and Kai does bring something to the table and if we had a bona fida striker we’ll hopefully get to see what else he can do.
Would it be competition for Odegaard.
He is really an AM after all.
2.) 20 Jun 2025 15:55:28
Thanks for the reply and enjoy your weekend.
{Ed014's Note - you too SY.

‘I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly.
‘Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes he was almost the deepest man.
‘That football, it’s just bulls***.’
‘Whether they’ve been told that or not, Odegaard is a No.10, Odegaard connects your midfield to your forward play.
‘You wonder why there’s no flow in your team when he’s behind Martin Zubimendi, he’s behind Declan Rice. How can you get connections there?
Does Ode, Arteta, leadership, backroom staff not see the obvious?
Let’s address this and grab hold of the prize we deserve.
COYG.

The reality is that in the two boxes today was the difference - and that's what decided the game, Arteta said.
Well you should have signed a decent striker 3 seasons ago - not his, not Jesus and not Vik.
Why did you leave your big striker signing on the bench then or take off Eze but leave Ode on?
You signed or didn’t sign the quality required and didn’t sign anyone in Jan.
Did City? Did their summer signing impact their big game today?
Why do you let the players mess around at the back? Why aren’t we more positive? Why don’t we address our weaknesses thru recruitment and tactics?
19 Apr 2026 18:51:27
That was a bugger.
Thought we did better than our recent form and created enough chances to get some points.
Ultimately we scored via an error and lacked quality at that level. Fullbacks aren't good enough, Ode poor, Kai and Vik just aren't top epl strikers.
We also lack tactics and mentality from the coach - less so today but for last dozen or so games. Too afraid to lose doesn't work anymore.
Substitutions were poor.
Poor recruitment. We needed a fullback, LW, creative spark and a proper striker. Spent a fortune and still need the same. That's really poor from a recruitment perspective. Big successful clubs aren't run that way.
Also really lack leadership on and off the pitch. What team wins without ambition and leadership
At least we landed a few blows
We can't even sell Jesus, Kai etc for decent money as in stupid wages. That's poor management also
Let's at least put it in and win our last 5 epl games and make a game of it
Just to be clear - I'm not happy the boss has bottled it again or that we have collapsed. I want to WIN.
1.) 19 Apr 2026 19:04:47
I don't think Mosquera was bought as a full back, and once he got booked he seemed to shy away from a challenge. Ben White looks so far off the player he was a few years ago. Just a shame Timber can't keep fit.
19 Apr 2026 15:35:16
Strange starting 11.
Raya;
Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie;
Zubimendi, Rice;
Madueke, Odegaard, Eze;
Havertz.
Subs: Arrizabalaga, White, Jesus, Martinelli, Gyokeres, Norgaard, Trossard, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman.
Ode, Eze and Kai?
18 Apr 2026 08:38:26
Talk of Timber being fit - that would be a huge result….
Let’s get Kai up front and play some longer balls onto him.
Push Eze up in front of the two midfielders and told can’t drop too deep - pressure their defence.
Raya and the worst culprit Saliba - no rolling ball under your feet. Quick passes and don’t ask for back passes. No stupid short goal kicks.
Timber at Rb.
Martinelli and Noni.
If we get at them and don’t invite pressure onto us in our 1/4 of pitch then who knows as we are good enough.
Let’s go and go in with the Right mindset Boss! Don’t be scared. We have faith if you show faith
Excited for tomorrow If Boss grows a set. If not, I’m hiding behind the sofa.
1.) 18 Apr 2026 10:05:44
Make them watch the 89 video. It shows what this match means to the fans! Don't get booked early unnecessarily, Hincapie, and keep Semenyo quiet. Maybe the ref can also tot up fouls by Rodri and Silva for a change.
1-1 draw. COYG.
As much as we'd like to have a go, we will defend for our lives - bit like the bendy bus C£ty parked at ours earlier in the season.
2.) 18 Apr 2026 10:16:53
Take a draw, but we can’t bring too much pressure onto ourselves with no outlet - they will kill us. Maybe drop Eze & put Norgaard in there to win midfield, or even go 442. If the boss sets the team up to play for a draw, we will lose 3 nil.
They need to attack us & win. We must have an outlet, play with speed, no sideways nonsense, but press, press, press as if our life depends on it, and we must have an outlet.
3.) 18 Apr 2026 10:55:47
I agree, Sy, but won't happen! A draw is a massive result! Norgaard and Zubi in front of the back four, and let Noni, Martinelli, Viktor and Rice counter-attack! It won't be the game we want! Get to half time 0-0.
They have to come out more, then hit them, simples. ?? I feel dirty saying it, but we will play for a draw, and if we do we'd better get it! COYG.
22 Jul 2025 23:04:00
Definitely have more options up our sleeve which will hopefully give Arteta more in game tactical change options which he or the team lacked in past 3 years. Plus hopefully the squad and young manager are more wise also. Boss has done well over past 5 years but inexperience / stubborness / bottle to go for wins has cost us. That’s part of learning and he does love the club. If he gets Eze then zero excuses and huge hope for the season.
14 Jul 2025 21:43:14
One of my favourite players from yesteryear and a lovely guy - Sammy Nelson. Keep your shorts up ?
That’s exciting and at the risk of sounding negative, despite Dublin saying a similar thing, that would complete our window and make it an excellent one. It can’t be excellent without addressing the lw hole esp when buying Noni. That would be pretty awesome but also what was required if we are real.
Fingers crossed
So did you think we would win those prior 3 seasons Dublin. Coming second is not competing if it’s over come Jan or March. Not in a competitive world anyway. May be for you and hence I clarified exactly what I meant by top 2. Not negative but clearly communicating and truthful. You could argue the year before but did you really think we were going to win it?
14 Jul 2025 08:40:17
Sorry but what’s negative about thst expectation - top 2 and a trophy?
My expectations are high due to the window and past few years.
14 Jul 2025 00:04:56
My expectation is more attacking play and more goals.
Proper competing for title to the last week with a belief we can actually win it.
I don’t mean 2nd like the last 3 years but actually believing we could win this right till the end.
So - Top 2 and a trophy.
13 Jul 2025 23:42:12
Think he will take TH14 or DB10 shirt?
26 Apr 2026 20:50:25
Who has the backbone, & does he listen?
Perhaps he needs a lightbulb, or pretend the next game is a first date, or some other bananas he preaches.
26 Apr 2026 09:43:45
Trust the process - He knows best. ?
Hope you have a good week, fella.
26 Apr 2026 09:37:29
This was the tougher of our two games - Newcastle have been on a terrible run, & I was hoping that was the game to get our goal difference up. Yet we lacked bottle and ambition again. We limped over the line with 7 players in the back 4 at times, because Odegaard dropped so deep, with Rice and Zubi there as well. We never chased a goal.
Vik looked terrible. Noni, just Noni. We still need that reset & mojo-inspiring performance. Well, it wasn't that game & Fulham will be tougher.
I still blame it on the boss - tactics & balls, along with no decent LW or CF option to play on a counter-attack or give us a threat on goal.
I'm actually missing Kai! It's that bad.
23 Apr 2026 09:10:57
Difficult to argue with that, Iceman. I just don't want to see either of them, or Noni, or our current LWs being in the starting 11 next season, as they are not good enough for City & therefore not good enough to compete against City.
22 Apr 2026 18:55:44
Thanks, DrBanner
Iceman, quick question. I'm not a Kai fan - not quick, poor touch, poor finishing, poor heading & doesn't attack the goal for me. He adds something to the team, but a bit of a miss as a striker, as shown in most games. Why do you rate him?
