Hugo Viana or Jonjo Shelvey?

I always wonder who ignores me. Someone must have pressed that button on me

Thought Atsu was excellent he should have been involved in last two games. It’s a strange one but he does always seem to lift the team upon returning from a prolonged absence.

Has Longstaff even actually said that? Because most of our players supposedly have a contract clause that states that the club can release quotes to the media in their behalf.

This might actually be a good tactic, dress Bruce in drag then get him to do a performance for 90 mins on the touch line might get us a 0-0 draw if players are distracted

Dead aged 40 Never fully recovered from a stroke five years ago

He was passed the ball at halfway, he had plenty of time to come forward and take control of the ball, instead he just froze still and allowed a cheap interception

5k down on the usual is progress for us tbf, against the likes of Norwich who only bring 1k up then we could be looking at 8k/9k empty seats some games this season I’m not really sure what people were expecting. I’d consider that an initial success.

Pretty sure Joelinton will be better than Riviere

Don’t get frustrated it is an incremental process. The boycott is going to have to take years to get everyone on side. Best thing boycotters can do is leave the attendees alone and instead show how it is possible to enjoy Saturdays without going to a game

The people who tried to carjack him were part of a gang. Their failed car jacking being posted online has made them feel embarrassed, as well as having the belief that they can take anything they want, they feel wronged by not having the car. As a result they are now targeting them, attacking them, either by injury, injuring them and ending their career, or even worse killing them, is retribution in their gang members eyes. It’s worse than this, the Turkish mafia put a protection notice on them which the other gang chose to ignore. The people arrested are actually two Turks that went to talk to ozil about his protection. Think both will have to leave Arsenal now unfortunately

A win then

Arsenal look quite weak it hasn’t been the best pre season injury wise

Should be an interesting match, lots of Arsenal players missing Ozil and Kolasanic are left out due to a security threat.

Think there will be more striker opportunities this year, Rafa was (rightly so) very rigid in building an attack around Rondon and Perez who both stayed fit all season. This season there will be injuries, two up top at times, more rotation for who supports Joelinton. It’s why we need Gayle and Carroll to be quite honest, this could be our best set of striker options in the past 15 years.

Considering the clubs track record of interfering with team selections when there is a contractual issue you would have to be concerned that Bruce might get prevented from selecting him at some point.

Longstaff will be home grown won't he? He’s older than 21 so needs to be part of the 25. He's 21. And 11 months...you have to be under 21! You have to be 20, then? Correct Not correct. Anyone still 21 on 31st December counts as U21. Unfortunately Longstaff will be 22 so has to be in the squad

Where can I get odds in a training ground bust up between Carroll and Lascelles?

Slammed shut

In which case three of those would be nowhere near the club

This is the end, my only friend, the end

Has Dave stopped paying the hosting subscription

Hope he has good footwork Or should I say Krafthwerk

Case closed unless proven otherwise

He looks like Mangala to me
