It's the same old same old. It ain't worked for years not games! What sort of arrogance is it that says just 'cause it didn't work the last 70 odd games doesn't mean it won't today.
The players don't believe it anymore we ain't for ages but Wenger does. The next game. Will be exactly the same as this. He sadly is now clueless. I just want him to leave with a degree of honour, if nothing else he deserves that. But this season as we look it's 6-7 for us.

Hi guys end of yet another season, my 67th. But for some poor results like Villa and Hammers it could have been so much better. But it wasn’t we a striker more than anything else, sure we would have got better results.
But Mikel has given us our pride back to finish 2nd to probably the best team in the world, how ever illegally they’ve acted and push them to their absolute limit says something a out us.
So onwards and upwards guys, a massive thank you to all the Ed’s for their hard work in making this my favourite site. Also big thanks to all the posters on the live chat we’ve had some laughs and you’ve all cheered me up.
So guys roll on next season.

As a Liverpool fan do wish Arteta was a bit braver in the City games?
2.) 19 May 2024 20:35:13
Hello saga mate me old mucker
Everything to look forward too
Take care my friend, speak to you next season.

Hi Malaga bit down tonight as we all are I spose, But let’s all have a great summer and Euros to look forward to. Talk on live chat next season mate.

Not me Jonesy. Ultimately we took 4 from 6 from them - an incredible achievement. You can spin a narrative around any time we dropped points this season but the only time it really ended up mattering was Villa at home. Thought we did enough to win that game comfortably but got sucker punched twice. Got to hand it to Mikel, with the exception of Villa we really had the big teams number this year.
5.) 20 May 2024 02:34:29
Nor me wire! At the time I think we were one point ahead of City - draw which we played for - kept it in our own hands lose in City hands! They also do quite well at home! Can’t legislate for Villa at home! We lost league due to Villa Fulham and Wet Spam games but I am really really nit picking! COYG.
6.) 20 May 2024 05:16:55
Over to course of 38 games you're going to have bad results and bad performances. Sure the results against Villa and West Ham weren't good but at least i thought we were performing decently. The stand out bad performance and result was Fulham away. But then again it's nearly impossible to keep a good level for the whole season so can't really fault the team.
7.) 20 May 2024 10:56:05
Jonesy - no. 4 points against them is fine. I wish we had been braver in the summer. We needed a Granite replacement, a leftback, a keeper and a decent striker. We go into this window - the same.
Rice was a bargain but needs a proper partner and we desperately need an upgrade on Kai / Eddie / Jesus as our striker options. Same position for 2 years if we are honest. We’ve done great but they are the fine margins. There are other games that I wish Arteta had been braver and wiser. Fulham, Villa and West Ham games.
The tinkering at the start of the season cost us a bit but to be fair - we’ve progressed, closed gap on a team on financial steroids who are immune to the laws that every other team plays by and we are young. I think we’ve played within ourselves since the business end of the season and we need to figure thst out. BUT we competed right to the last day and squad is wiser, better and more experienced. Next year could be the year!
8.) 24 May 2024 09:53:18
As a Liverpool fan I agree lads, 4 points from 6 against City is a great return - can't legislate at times for the likes of the Villa result at home, it happens
A top striker and you would be great, imagine an Henry in his prime playing, you would be great - looking pretty good across the pitch as it is though
For us, the end of the season was disappointing, yes we have leaked goals all season but we created so many chances and scored so many goals it was just felt if we went a goal down we could come back ok, then for like a 6 week period at the end there none of our forward players could convert a bloody chance!
It happens, and like I said about above Henry, a prime Fowler this season in our team hits like 40 goals a season given the sheer amount of big chances we created.
Amazing though it was Klopp's last season, he might well have delivered more trophies but the guy made us believe and compete again.
Good luck next season guys ??.
{Ed014's Note - thanks Bill and same to you mate under your new man Slot.

Hi guys not Arsenal related but today is Merchant Navy Day when we have a Remembrance Day up at our memorial at Tower Hill. Sadly I'm not well enough to go this year. But share a thought today for all those boys, you went to sad at 14-15 then, and men that fought on ships to keep us going during the wars. Thanks guys.
{Ed014's Note - will do saga and sorry to hear you’re not so well at the moment.
Take care mate. ?

Morning fellow gooners. Your original gooner grandad requires a bit of time. Way back in the 50's when George Swindon was our manager, the land was grey. Every male over the age of 5 was subject to the compulsory hat wearing law. I became a gooner, I've suffered those grey dark days when a man was judged by the style of his muffler. They were tough days with Billy Wright moving us backwards. Then in the 60's a burst of colour burst of the land we were free to remove our caps and feel the blast of wind in our faces and the sun on our hair. Or was that the other way round hmm. then a as we moved towards the magic of the 70,s we were back with a double George improved us and the sainted Wenger created the new Arsenal. Sadly we struggled again, butt . now shout this out. ladies and Gentlemen! A toast WE HAVE A TEAM BACK. Strength in depth good solid players that want to be here. Not yet the finished article but we are growing into a great team. North London is red and not the dark end as further along the road. So let's gloat when possible and thank the lord for being a gooner!
Enjoy the times everyone.

Hey saga mate
Superb heart felt post
How’s it going grandad?
2.) 08 Aug 2023 12:13:01
Saga, I'm struggling to remember a time when you were 5, mate.
3.) 08 Aug 2023 13:41:09
I remember Billy Wright Saga mate.
Played Leeds in a midweek night game at home, lost 2-0 and only 5,000 people turned up
Think it was 1965.I was 8 and had gone to my first home game the previous August.

Arteta Build Back Arsenal
Go on you Gunners!
29 May 2023 12:33:29
Morning all, well it ended with a smile. Guess we are all slightly down, 2 more wins would have had the title. But we would have all settled for this at the start of the season.
A massive thanks to all the eds especially ed1, hope its onward and upwards mate. and from me a big and I mean big thanks to you all for your kind words and support, it means a lot. Have a great summer and let's hope we have a great window this summer and we kick on next season.
{Ed001's Note - thank you saga, it is always a pleasure to chat with you mate, so that means a lot from you.}
1.) 29 May 2023 18:50:14
One win against City and we’d have had a better chance but if it was still tight you can guarantee City would have dropped any points to Brighton or Brentford .
Next season is a bigger challenge let’s hope we are up for it.
07 May 2023 19:28:04
3 inspired buys Jorginho, proven class doing a superb job. Trossard PL ready doing a great job. But then Kiwior is a brilliant buy, probably ended Holdings Arsenal's career. With all CBs fit we've got a solid defence at last.
{Ed014's Note - evening Saga, agree mate although I still wouldn’t mind Marc Guéhi from Palace to replace Holding.
1.) 07 May 2023 19:44:31
I agree 3 very astute January signings in a window that is notoriously difficult to get top targets without paying way over the odds inflated prices.
Players, manager, fans, behind the scenes team, everyone at Arsenal have performed brilliantly this season ????.
2.) 07 May 2023 20:19:14
Actually came on here to take back talk about ex-Chelsea players and Jorginho being a desperation buy. Might have been too much of an emotional statement. He was big today and marshal those around him. To be fair I've seen him done before even when we don't play well.
{Ed014's Note - I was the same mate but he’s made me eat my words, especially today
3.) 07 May 2023 20:24:23
Great result in such a difficult place to play will keep City at least keen for a while yet. Impressed by Kiwior to handle such a game with calm and composure in only his 2nd start bods well, maybe holdings time is up tbh.
Jorginho just adds that extra bit of experience and game management in difficult situations was not sure on the signing at first but he has definitely added an extra option now. Trossard making himself hard to drop really.
Jesus not been that great since coming back from that long time injury will take till next season to get full best Jesus I think. There is a strong argument to start Trossard in the false 9 position again.
Tbh I love Tierney to stay with us think he is better defender than Zinchenko but can understand his frustration at not starting if he does leave.
{Ed014's Note - I’d really hate Tierney to leave as he offers so much both defensively and offensively. Love his attitude too.
4.) 07 May 2023 21:20:45
Tierney seems a great professional. I think he must stay and make that spot his again. I think him and ziny gives to different type of lb which great to have but arteta need to start him more next season and I think he will but he might stay put and fight for his spot back.
Also Jesus been decent, his hold up play was brilliant today, however I feel for Trossard he deserves to start but also Martinelli is our top scorer and saka is saka.
5.) 07 May 2023 21:21:41
Tierney is an excellent player when available unfortunately injuries have made it impossible for him to command a regular place in out best 11 ever since he arrived, and in my opinion playing a settled best 11 whenever possible this season has been the biggest factor in our dramatic and quite unbelievable improvement.
Newcastle are keen on him apparently and it's much closer to home for him, so of he does choose to leave it wish him nothing but well.
01 Jun 2023 10:25:04
If any player isn't happy at our club, then move them on! We've seen in recent years what 'player demands' have cost us. Yup he's a great player but if terms don't suit him sell him.
14 Jan 2023 17:58:56
Offering £108 mill ?.
25 Jun 2022 10:14:36
Ornstein reported as saying its agreed at £45mill looks a solid window so far guys.
10 Jun 2018 17:47:00
Nufing to serious guys just old age creeping up I had a serious car accident with a 40 tonne lorry back n the 90s and it gives me grief nowadays. But i'm back in the sun with several pints on a mates 70th birthday talking about old London when scooter louts would have had a visit from a bloke in a Crombie and Trilby and told to behave themselves or get a slap.
Oh met a few gooners today as well and a really good mate that just happens to sadly be a spud. We had a good few EFES tween us as well. No hate here.
Looking forward to a great season
So from a very half cut sagalout have a great day guys.
{Ed001's Note - glad you are feeling a bit better and a lot drunker mate. Enjoy your night.}
10 Jun 2018 10:59:03
Hi gunner62 had a few health probs recently, but spent the time polishing up my fully moded up mobility scooter to Lamby SX 200 standard with a few extra mirrors and lamps. Got meself off to Our Cyprus house where its stonking hot and getting back up to date with Gonner news. Its going to be a busy ol few months for sure. Hope all is well with our fellow posters.
{Ed001's Note - sorry to hear that lout, hope you feel better soon mate.}
21 Nov 2024 17:48:59
A bit late to come to this, I've been busy at Hospital etc.
I'm so sad to read of his passing. His knowledge of the game can't be replaced and in the nicest way possible, the site is a tad poorer without his knowledge. How his fellow Edds must feel at the moment can't be explained. But rest assured all of us banter merchants and fellow lovers of the game and Arsenal, have got your backs guys and Gals. Stay strong cry those good tears for a fellow traveller and the best wishes to his family friends and Eds.
01 Nov 2024 14:03:29
Hi Mr Sharp. Been a tough few months, but some good news recently my cancer has leveled off for 2 months my daily pill has been dropped and slowly coming off the steroids, which were causing real aggravation so all in all looking a lot better for the 1st time in 2 yrs. Not out of the woods yet but the trees ain't so big. How are you and yours mate all good I hope.
31 Oct 2024 08:55:31
Gotta love this kid seems to have it all. But remember he's 17 don't overplay him!
14 Oct 2024 12:42:27
me too sally.
01 Aug 2024 18:56:37
His injury done for him sadly. always thought he was the best Hale End player Butif the Money is spent on Merino then I’ll be happy.
