Well done On the new contract Boss - well deserved following last season & great to hear your staff & our key man Rice signing also!
19 Sep 2026 22:43:54
Well that puts us into perspective and big reality check - quite pathetic.
1 shot on target - that was King Kai clean thru hitting the keeper.
Have we really started well - Coventry are poor ( Brighton stuffed them) , Villa ( Forest beat them) & Sunderland fortunate, Chelsea ( Brentford spanked them) . let's keep our feet on the floor and get back to playing football after the break.
Let's add some quality in Jan - let's not rely on Eze & Tzolis on left wing or Kai & Vic up front - add quality and strengthen the starting 11.
Yes the squad is strong but we haven't improved starting 11 - not a single signing from last season is good enough to start. That's poor. Yes I know we won the league but we want to keep winning.

What a shame. Every player on that pitch needs to be docked their wage. The performance was awful. The tactics even bad. I don't usually slate the team but honestly yesterday was a joke. I was not expecting a walk in the park Brighton away is difficult and their current form has been good. Did the club throw that game willingly. i'm shocked
Is Big Gabs carrying an injury throught the game i noticed him limping and not looking happy with himself. For me Guimaraes needs to be further up. Declan rice hold your head in shame Saka needs to cut the diva bs out and concentrate on his game. Odegaard was a no where. Although it would not have made the difference Kai should have scored in that position. We need a striker that does not fail in that position. I love the guy but at this stage I would not have him as our number one, Give Gyokeres game time to prove himself. He needs to prove himself quickly.
All that's said its a blib pull our socks up after the break hopefully we don't get any injuries. Its a long season and no doubt we will have difficult games and we may loose some but not in that way please guys We need better.
19 Sep 2026 14:12:15
Raya; Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Guimaraes; Saka, Odegaard, Tzolis; Havertz
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Hincapie, Eze, Gyokeres, Madueke, Merino, Zubimendi, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman.
Sussex, How many signings from last years window have started this season in a competitive game? All just squad additions or great signings?
Great to see Bruno start & Timber back ?
Big test today - let's show everyone what we are made of! Hope Vic comes on & scores at the right end ?? COYG
Well done Spurs.

Ornstein rumour - we are asking about Malick Fofana now. However, we don't want to pay anything near the €40m asking price.
1.) 31 Aug 2026 19:54:01
What do I know? Played 12 games last season due to ankle surgery! Injury prone, so get him a bed in the Abou Diaby Suite, and while he's there, draw him a picture of what a goal looks like! Happy to eat humble pie though COYG. ?♂️
2.) 31 Aug 2026 22:11:22
Ndiaye was "begging" the Premier League champions to sign him.
: "Waited all day to understand if Mikel wants him or not."
Now signed for City - don't we want an attacker, judging by today & last year?
Probably pay it safe & sign no one & get a defender. ?
3.) 31 Aug 2026 22:26:50
Anyone else find it odd Viktor doesn't get a run out? COYG
4.) 01 Sep 2026 05:52:38
Good win today. Clean sheet, no shots on target against. A very difficult team to play against, with great fans. They won't lose too many home games.
5.) 01 Sep 2026 08:12:44
Mate, I'm a Liverpool fan and honestly you can't say that we are closing deals. It's panic stations outside because we can't close any. Just pop by the Liverpool page if you want to see what the general sense is among the fan base. You're a much better run club than we are atm.
6.) 01 Sep 2026 11:16:21
Fofana is on his way to Sunderland.
31 Aug 2026 12:23:11
Late move for Iliman Ndiaye to fill the LW void. We do need two good options first, both flanks, if last season told us anything. It would be odd to not replace Trossard and Martinelli; otherwise our attack has gone backwards and that’s where we needed to add. Plus replace Jesus.
1.) 31 Aug 2026 12:52:42
Could Merino cover Jesus? Not in the horse breeding sense, obviously. ? Third striker? COYG.
2.) 31 Aug 2026 13:57:21
Lol - he could offer a goal threat from the bench, but Martinelli offered pace & 6 Champions League goals. We need something & we had Merino last year, so feels backwards still.
3.) 31 Aug 2026 15:32:18
My fault, I assumed we were replacing Martinelli! Merino to cover the 4 or 5 games Jesus played (420 ish minutes) . COYG. Definitely backwards if we don't replace Martinelli.
4.) 31 Aug 2026 15:50:53
Then Kroupi in the winter window..
Looking forward to tonight's game - gotta be a good time to play Villa. Get that game out of the way.
5.) 31 Aug 2026 16:35:03
Possibly looking for more game time for Dowman? Saka, Noni, and Eze can all play on the left.
Just a thought as to why we would let Martinelli go and not replace him, if, of course, we don't replace him, as there is obviously still time to do that if the club are already pursuing options away from the eye of media.
Not long to wait now before we know for sure. ?
6.) 31 Aug 2026 16:58:28
No desire of seeing more of Noni, esp on LW. His stats are poor & not much end product. He's more frustrating than Martinelli. Eze is too lazy out there, & laid back. Those options don't thrill me. ?
7.) 31 Aug 2026 17:10:46
I think, like always, we ultimately just have to wait and see how things actually work out on the pitch as the season progresses, mate.
8.) 31 Aug 2026 17:44:42
Well, plenty of attackers are being signed, so I'd ask, what are we doing.. Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Newcastle, Chelsea purchased, Liverpool purchased, Real got their man, Spurs buying.. we are selling. ?
Agree, Gunner, but a bit of movement wouldn't be bad. We needed attackers this window.

23 Oct 2026 18:29:38
Well that's crap news - Saka out 6 weeks!
So Liverpool & Cheaty games plus Champ league.
That's crappy news and means I have to watch Eze & Noni our short sighted summer transfer window about to bite. Hopefully Max gets some chances.
Our frontline looking very poor and was always going to happen with limited quality options, lack of rest & number of games. Very shortsighted by the boss or Brian.
1.) 24 Oct 2026 11:03:57
Yep Sy so short sighted we have two out of three first choice attackers out and heaven forbid we have to replace with two England internationals. I think a run of games for Eze and Noni will see them show their thing! Always Max on the bench and think Quantum back very soon. Chin Up COYG.
2.) 23 Oct 2026 19:03:24
It's not crappy news for those fans who wanted Saka dropped mate, I'm not saying anymore actually wanted Saka to get injured but for those who feel the team would be better off without Saka its their opportunity to see if their judgment really is better than Arteta's.
3.) 24 Oct 2026 17:03:36
It's terrible news - why would you not want Saka
We are light bud & we didn't get the business done - Noni ain't it & Eze doesn't fit - how will we beat PSG : that's the watermark not Everton at home where two CBs needed to score & everyone knows it's shortsighted. Those two don't challenge the starting 11 & we chased a LW failed but didn't sign a top drawer LW so we have two get those glasses off ?.
4.) 24 Oct 2026 18:09:13
" and everyone knows its shortsighted "
Dangerous territory that SY mate, when we start believing everyone else secretly shares our thoughts and feelings but some people just won't admit to it. i'm not sure that's a good a way to think about things mate.
5.) 24 Oct 2026 23:39:32
True 62 - but if an overstatement & clearly I didn't mean everyone as Sussex and many on here think otherwise
Many people on here, at home and pundits. the club clearly wanted more fire power & selling both LWs attracted a lot of criticism
But you are right & thank you sir.
6.) 25 Oct 2026 06:33:53
Thing is I agree regarding the left wing and have said selling both Tross and Martinelli is a dereliction of duty. Not just us but the World Cup will cause plenty more injuries. Can't legislate for them all unless you are Chelski and have 60 players. Not going so well there! Point is we have who we have ( a strong squad universally ( can I use that word) praised.
You can't have prime Messi and substitute with prime Ronaldo. Oh and two goals by CB and the team still count don't they! Squad doing okay so far. Enjoy the extra hour! COYG.
7.) 25 Oct 2026 09:25:33
Hi Gloucestershire, Martinelli was confusing because clearly he didn't want to go and clearly we didn't have anyone coming in to replace him so it was a strange one, what the thinking behind letting him go at that time was I'm not at all sure but for me Arteta has well and truly earned the right to do things his way in my opinion.
Ive no problem at all with our CBs providing the goals i could careless if Raya scores the winning goals as long as we win, plus I thought we played well yesterday against a decent Everton team. Up The Arsenal ?.
8.) 25 Oct 2026 09:38:39
Hi Sy mate.
The fact is we are joint top of the table again after yesterday's results and we are once again going well in the champions league. Yes in some possible future our summer transfer window could possibly cost us but if we all worried about everything that might possibly happen at some point in some imaginary future and refused to enjoy the reality of what is factually happening in the real world here and now then we'd all be making life unnecessarily tough for ourselves.
I thought we played well yesterday and got a good result against a well organised Everton team so I genuinely can't see anything to be upset about, in fact i think we have evey reason to be feelings pretty chirpy and optimistic about everything right now mate.
9.) 25 Oct 2026 13:07:36
My opinions has no effect what so ever on MA team sheets, it's just an opinion 62, but I bet you can't wait for the I told you so comments in a couple of months pmsl, no I don't want one of my teams players to get injured why would I, I just said we need to have a serious question about saka! If you don't agree that's fine just don't make things up like some have done, Jesus Christ! I wish I never said anything now, I trust MA with what ever he does, including pick the team which no matter what you think I have no say on,
10.) 25 Oct 2026 13:13:22
Stick to football 62 you go waaaaaay off track with your silly essays about life, Jesus you must have one great life where nothing ever goes wrong, that doesn't happen ever! Some people will moan about something in football even if it's perfect! All I've said I think saka could do better as in actual beat a man, yes he gets doubled up so do most wingers he needs to do more of you don't like my opinion fair enough, I don't agree on most of yours but I won't keep on and on about it and bring it up on another post lol hope all is well.
11.) 25 Oct 2026 13:24:29
Paul Parker said it best - "Madueke frightens defenders and goes at people. Saka doesn't bother defenders, they know what he's going to do, he's too predictable"
I know noni isn't the best player in the world, but he seems to have a go at defenders instead of slowing down the cutting back inside, noni actually takes players on, I'm sure it's something like this I seen last 3 games saka has dribbled past 3 players noni is on8/9, and as for you post saying that I'm happy saka is injured what a ridiculous thing to say, why on earth would I want my own player injured, I said dropped not injured absolutely ridiculous comment.
12.) 25 Oct 2026 13:54:48
If you read my comment again, you will see i didn't accuse anyone including yourself of wanting Saka injured.
Talk about over the top Dublin, you've so far posted 4 different comments in reply to my comment about Saka being out.
I personally believe we are better with than without Saka but hopefully we will cope without him and his not being available won't affect us to badly.
13.) 25 Oct 2026 14:05:42
I post after each comment because I think about something else to say, or isn't that aloud in your perfect world heheh, so January that's what your waiting for to say I told you so! Crack on mate it's still my opinion, like I said if saka comes back and scores 50 goals do you really think ill be upset, I support Arsenal not saka ill wait for a reply god forbid I post 3 in a row.
14.) 25 Oct 2026 14:57:31
So you agree then? It's not crappy news for us who wanted him dropped - we wanted it by choice, not by injury.
And don't bring Arteta into it like he's infallible. Arteta himself said Saka had fluid on his thigh and was playing through it. That's WHY his numbers fell off a cliff - 2 in 19, 5 dribbles in 10 games. Even Arteta admitted he was flogging him. Wanting him rested/dropped WAS protecting Arteta's player.
My judgment wasn't 'better than Arteta' - it was literally what Arteta is now forced to do vs Slavia Prague and in the league. We just beat Everton 2-0 without him looking more direct with Noni. That's not me vs Arteta, that's football vs feelings.
I want Saka back 100% fit and cooking, but I also want Arsenal winning. Those two things can be true at the same time. If you think wanting a player benched for form means you want him injured, you don't understand football debate at all mate.".
15.) 25 Oct 2026 15:38:25
How many times ? I never once said you or any other Arsenal fan wanted Saka injured, in fact i went out of my way to say i didn't believe any Arsenal fans actually wanted Saka injured.
Deary Deary me Dublin ???.
16.) 25 Oct 2026 16:00:39
You said "It's not crappy news for those fans who wanted Saka dropped mate"
What is the crappy news? That Saka got injured.
So you are saying Saka getting injured is not crappy news for those who wanted him dropped. That is saying we would be happy he is injured, whether you name names or not.
Then you say "I'm not saying anyone wanted Saka to get injured" in the very same sentence. Those two things don't go together.
If it's not crappy news for us that he is injured, you are saying it's good news for us. Which is saying we wanted him injured.
You did mention him getting injured, and you did link it to people who wanted him dropped being happy. That's what you wrote.
And for the record, like I've said on every occasion, if Saka comes back and is the difference to win us the title I'll be more than happy.
But if we go on and win a few and look more balanced without him, I might just be tempted to give you a gentle reminder of your claims about us all. All in the name of banter of course ?.
17.) 25 Oct 2026 16:20:57
Fine by me Dublin ?. If results and performance genuinely do improve without Saka i will very happily eat as much humble pie as you care to serve me mate. In fact I'll cook and serve myself a very healthy serving of humble pie should this turn out to be the case ?????????.
18.) 25 Oct 2026 16:36:48
I'm not here for "I told you so " We both support Arsenal at the end of the day and I want what's best for the club same as you. I don't claim to be the next Pep, just saying what I think like everyone else on here. an opinion.
Just to be clear I never wanted Saka injured, no Arsenal fan would. Wanting him dropped for form and wanting him injured are two totally different things.
And why would I come back and say I told you so? I want what's best for Arsenal not to be right, not that I'm saying I am right anyway. If Saka comes back and wins us the league I'll be buzzing, if we play better without him I'll be buzzing too, as long as Arsenal win that's all I care about ?
So for me if noni performs I'm buzzing if saka comes back and performs ill be buzzing I don't understand why that doesn't make sense to some,
18 Oct 2026 22:46:59
Well played Konsa - super important tackle today and another strong performance!
Raya, Gabs & Konsa - well done gents.
1.) 19 Oct 2026 15:56:39
Konsa was great yesterday!
18 Oct 2026 19:59:54
Well done Noni - showed "he who dares wins!"
Too many players taking up cowardly positions, playing cowardly passes - sideways & backwards when we did go forward : slow passes behind the player whose first thought was . Sideways
So this is our "handbrake off" football where we invite pressure onto ourselves, almost give Forest their first home goal & achieve just 1 shot on target.
At least we won - 3 points in the bag
Bet Bayern defence are nervous.
1.) 18 Oct 2026 20:22:05
I don’t normally agree with you because every post you put up is negative but today I can’t say anything to disagree with you, I’d say our front line is probably the worst out of the top teams apart from spurs, don’t get me started on saka but hes a good defender and tracks back lol but him left back then because he’s s*** at right wing, I hope he proves me wrong, I’d love him to but I’m 3 years up on him, I’d bring kalastrom back,
{Ed025's Note - since when were Spurs a top team mate?..
2.) 18 Oct 2026 20:48:00
We were hopeless today and needed the lucky deflection to get the three points, that all that matters to stay above Brighton and in touching distance of City, both are playing awesome football. Need to plough on and keep getting the points because if we all can see it, the decision makers can too and let's pray that they invest in January.
Many players who we brought in to improve us i.
e Gyokeres, Zubimendi, Eze etc have lost their mojos. Why not give Dowman few minutes to show what he can do in such games when Saka wasn't able to affect the game?
Forest could have won if Wood had taken his shot first time and Murillio had found the top corner. We are riding our luck and hope it doesn't run out before January.
{Ed025's Note - you will get back on track next week against Everton mate..
3.) 18 Oct 2026 21:08:38
Agreed today wasn't anything close to us at our best but I did always think we'd snatch the points in the latter stages, we may not always be brilliant but we do usually find a way.
I saw a pundit question our set pieces and why we seem to have abandoned our reliance on something that made us champions last season, personally I think we are trying to carry on evolving as a team rather than standing still and thinking we've got it cracked.
4.) 18 Oct 2026 22:48:56
Not sure every post is negative DG - I've been posting for about 10 years but I get your point.

Back in the day when the top 6 were talked about now it's the big 5 Ed lol SAKA FOR LEFT BACK AND KALASTROM RIGHT WING FOR ME HEHEHE let me take my saka glasses off first sorry for the late reply i'm in Egypt.
{Ed025's Note - Saka,s crossing has been abysmal DG, i dont know if i would swap him for Brennan Johnson...oh yeah i would.. :)
7.) 19 Oct 2026 13:04:31
He’s been s*** for the last 3 years mate, and just because he came from the ranks, doesn’t mean he should have special treatment, eze was crap and got dragged off half time,but saka was worse did he even beat a man yesterday I don’t think he did, but you can’t slate him because he’s defends well
{Ed025's Note - He has certainly gone downhill DG, he has the ability but he really has to up his game mate..
8.) 19 Oct 2026 14:56:12
Well said Edward 25 on to the next game.
9.) 19 Oct 2026 15:23:18
I really don't get the Saka knocking, he more than playered his part in us becoming champions and 18 months ago we were absolutely desperate for him to be fit for the Champions league quarter final against Real and he certainly didn't disappoint in either leg as we enjoyed one of best ever European nights.
I've absolutely no idea what the 3 year tag is about, i find that really strange ?.
10.) 19 Oct 2026 16:56:20
I'm sure Bayern are at the very least wary and you don't always post negatively Sy, I remember May 2017 ;) Yes Saka playing not at his best but there is an argument we have much better players and he at least doesn't shine as much. Sell him - nah! - I'm sure as a Premier League Winner he isn't worried by some noise COYG
#formistemporaryclassispermanentsameasOdegaardlastseason.
11.) 19 Oct 2026 16:58:01
I just wonder if the way the team is being directed to play simply does not allow our best players to perform. When Saka was at his best, we played a more free flowing, expansive game. Now, when he gets the ball there are already two to three players on him. When we moved the ball quickly, and trusted our ability to play to feet he looked far more dangerous.
If we can't turn it on at Forest, who have been abysmal this season, how are we going to play against Bayern. Sorry for the negativity but I do think football needs to be joyful to watch.
{Ed025's Note - you were a bit boring Hoxton, too many passes backwards and sideways for me mate and the standards of crosses was abysmal imo..
12.) 19 Oct 2026 18:33:57
Haha. I'm not known for my entertainment quotient. ?.
13.) 19 Oct 2026 18:50:36
The last 2 seasons we've finished 1st and second in the champions league qualification league and last season we were outstanding again Bayern even though we weren't playing our best in the Premier League, are Bayern not at least as worried about us as we are them?
Last season we were criticised for relying almost totally on set pieces for our goals, this season we have scored 21 of our 22 goals from open play plus one penalty. We are Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years and are currently sitting in second place as we try to defend our title.
We are currently enjoying a golden period in our history after a long run of being also rans, shouldn't we spend more time appreciating and being grateful for all the things that are right with our club rather spending our time looking at and dwelling on our imperfections? This Golden period won't last forever and we will once again play Spurday night football in the Europa league or possibly even make our Europa Conference debut at some stage, it's inevitable.
I guess some people really won't be able to appreciate what we have right now until it's gone, cest la vie as they say in Norfolk.
14.) 19 Oct 2026 22:43:37
Absolutely echo that post 62 ??????
We're fu**in champions for a reason! Not because everyone else bottled it it's because we conquered the league fair n square without cheating our way to it. Classenal❤️?
Imperfections are part of life but nobody's perfect let's enjoy what we have n support the champions of England which is us! The Arsenal ❤️?
Bring on ze Germans.
15.) 20 Oct 2026 05:31:50
If your happy with 6 league goals from a "world class "winger 62 then that's up to you but his numbers should be up there with real
World class wingers, just imagine us if he had MS numbers for Liverpool!' Yes we are champions and I'm chuffed, but I want Jim's numbers higher which they should be, you don't get the saka bashing did I see him Sunday without the glasses on, because if u even say he's been playing well then ill never post again lol.

I'd rather Bowen on the left but that my opinion, and if you think it's just me that slates him it's all over the place I've heard it for the last 3 years, can I ask you a question 62 do you think he could be better and improve with his taking on players and goals,

A record revenue of £691 million for the 2024–25 financial year, £20m contract for Arteta, New contracts inc Rice 350k PW yet we are laying off 60 people? Mental & not a great look esp after the COVID fiasco with Gunnersaurus 60 people - probably 8 weeks of Rice wage.
1.) 17 Oct 2026 09:20:23
This happens in all businesses where there are high earners but low earners are losing their jobs. Unfortunately it is the way the world is at the moment with everyone jumping on the AI bandwagon.
2.) 17 Oct 2026 11:03:50
Its not nice and in my opinion it's not how things should be or need to be, but it is most definitely the way of the world right now.
Would the reintroduction of the maximum wage be such a terrible thing, would 100k a week maximum wage in football across the board cuase devastating hardship to players; managers and their families?
3.) 17 Oct 2026 17:10:49
What does a MD of a big bank earn over a lifetime or a FTSE TOP 50. I am okay with mega stars getting mega money but we give some crazy ass contracts to mid players while staff are cut. Somethings not right
I guess a number of the top CEOs earn 20 to 20m & work till 50
So top top player at top club delivering medals should be up there BUT only if team delivers. So 200k per week in my book. With Kai on less than half of that ( SUSSEX)
They tried FFP tieing wages to revenue - probably best do a cap & % revenue. With a huge portion on success not coming 6th
Never had a problem with TH14 getting 100k at the time but Jesus, Zin, then have the cheek to sack low earners!
4.) 17 Oct 2026 17:11:24
Interesting. But, recall the days when chairmen would pocket all the profits, and top players would end their career with a ropey pub if they were lucky. I think it was Jimmy Hill that overturned that.? However, wages for the very top players, amongst others, are somewhat obscene in a world where a nurse has to use a food bank.
5.) 17 Oct 2026 17:13:32
By the way, spot about the club. Its a very unsavoury state of affairs and mirrors what happened at Manchester United, which was, rightly, universally slated.
6.) 17 Oct 2026 18:17:51
Sorry SY, I thought the discussion was about the general distribution of money within the game not our own personal opinions and valuations of who's worth what and who worth what they are currently paid.
My misunderstanding, I never would have got involved if i'd realised, oooopps.
7.) 17 Oct 2026 19:30:38
Hi Hoxton mate, i think the maximum wage Jimmy Hill fought to overturn was around about 3 or 4 times what the average fan could earn per week and given a footballers limited careers it was probably right to overturn.
But today players can earn 5000 times more than the average fan earns, to me that's crazy.
Football may get the majority of its money from TV and sponsorship but ultimately the TV companies and sponsors get their money from consumers, so whichever way we dice it the fan's are paying the extortionate wages one way or another.
8.) 18 Oct 2026 09:52:13
62 - I did drift a little but come on man! I was using an example. At a company the more responsibility & impact on the bottom line - the more money you do & should earn. So a CEO will earn more than the HR manager who earns less than the FD but probably more than the accounting manager. So the EPL needs to accommodate superstars, wages should be driven by performance as they do in the City and there should be caps.
I ran thru individuals to highlight the stupid wages we pay to non superstars. £100k doesn't cut it for top performers at any level for a top EPL player. But there should only be a few at that level. Why you got to be so funny about "worth" or opinion & see what I was actually saying. I was responding to your 100k point with an argument / opinion. Appreciate the response but why drop out like that.

Hi SY, the money in football and how it is distributed is something that can addressed and universally agreed on by all clubs everywhere or alternatively something all regulating bodies from all nations can agree to impose on all clubs who fall under their jurisdiction
Obviously individual opinions on which players are better and more worthy of earning the most money at each club is something for each employer at each club to decide. Personally i'm not up for getting involved people's personal gripes about players they personally don't rate as highly as the club does especially when those gripes have been voiced repeatedly in the past.
A general discussion maybe ? a new personal opinion ? maybe too, but an old opinions and old longstanding personal gripes about the same players that have voiced many times before simply isn't something I enjoy, although I respect the fact it us something you personally enjoy doing very much. So I choose the sensible option of leaving you to enjoy something that simply isn't for me, to each their own mate ?.

Point taken - they were examples as to the £200k wage. I should have not strayed.

Something positive should have happened - I'm glad you got your strong balance sheet 62. But that won't win the league & we may not get as easy route to the final or get so many goals from corners. So weakening our main weakness is just stupid., slow & lump sums up this very poor window
Why make the job harder than it needs to be by dithering in the market when we should be strengthening our hold. Most people looking at our team see the strength in the squad but the weakness in the starting 11 - anyone watching sees it, even me. We needed a Lw & CF same old story yet the people with the rose tinted glasses mock the ones who point out the glaring weaknesses. We could still win but why make it harder by selling & not buying! Stupid - limp slow Brian

Small pickings now but plenty LWs have been traded this summer. We've been slow & cheap.
{Ed025's Note - i thought you may have gazzumped Liverpool for Barcola SY..

Ndiaye was "begging" the Premier League champions to sign him.
: "Waited all day to understand if Mikel wants him or not."
Now signed for City - don't we want an attacker, judging by today & last year?
Probably pay it safe & sign no one & get a defender. ?
31 Aug 2026 17:44:42
Well, plenty of attackers are being signed, so I'd ask, what are we doing.. Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Newcastle, Chelsea purchased, Liverpool purchased, Real got their man, Spurs buying.. we are selling. ?
Agree, Gunner, but a bit of movement wouldn't be bad. We needed attackers this window.

No desire of seeing more of Noni, esp on LW. His stats are poor & not much end product. He's more frustrating than Martinelli. Eze is too lazy out there, & laid back. Those options don't thrill me. ?

Guess we know what the boss thinks about Gyokeres .
Vik, Kai & Noni aren't good enough & that's on the boss / then you have no mojo Eze also all expensive signings on a lot of money under his watch. He needs help on the attack side of football - on & off the pitch just like Wenger needed the right support.

Give - last one laughing on prime a go. Halloween special is good. Will watch City is Ours just as London & EPL is ?.

No Saka
Did you make another wish . " Real Madrid are preparing to explore the possibility of signing Bukayo Saka"
?.
25 Oct 2026 23:25:21
I do like that, need to watch 2nd series - War is good too.
25 Oct 2026 22:21:48
And away .
