Final Score just showed the Van Persie/Krul thing from last season. Urgh. Still though, Gabby Crooks

Ladbrokes have a thing this weekend where if Cissé scores the first or last goal, they'll refund all losing First Goalscorer bets. Voted 21-25 btw, we saw last season that with the right service, he will score. Plus he will have the odd screamer here and there. A proper number 9

Scaringly enough, can't wait to put on Final Score today despite Garth Crooks being more than likely on...

Soon. Still going to stick by my 2-0 prediction with Ba scoring both goals.

Finally got round to making a team. Hopefully this season is an improvement - didn't do so well last year. http://i.imgur.com/aXs3v.png

Absolutely.

The mackems probably paid for his flight.

Oh f*** off City (if true).

He's definitely going then. Still quite speechless on how this has happened

The French will probably look up to him tbh.

One other thing btw, Barton could very well be playing in the Europa League next season too then!

What? Marseille? Really? How has he managed that?

I think he is ok at centre half actually. He uses the ball well out of defence and alongside a more dominant partner (ie Colo or maybe Saylor) he looks a lot more solid. He's really improved in this area so if need be, would not mind Perch at CB at all. The way he handled Suarez is more than enough evidence for me that he can do a decent job.

Can't f***ing wait for this. Wish I was back up for this game though Really optimistic about this coming season. 2 more days!

Same Me too. I didn't! Shame on you.

Same Me too.

It is weird (and refreshing tbh). Although I got to say, us being under the radar is a somewhat better proposition...

Really happy this has gone through. Right in time for Spurs too. What was the fee btw, £6 million? Now, let's concentrate our efforts on Debuchy...

Please do Piers, by all means.

O'Neill has outdone himself this time. £40k a week for Saha man

Mentioned this before, hope that cunt Van Persie fails miserably at Man U. From Arsenal's point of view, this is a decent deal, £24 million for a player in the last year of his contract. Not bad at all. Now let's see of Arsene actually spends it...

Btw, how have we actually played? Pretty much only turned on the TV 15 minutes ago.

Still within my prediction Seriously though, this is positive news. If we can get everything done before Saturday, then we'll most certainly see him as part the matchday 18.

Great strike from Defoe btw. He always has something like that in his locker. Pity he can't do anything else of note.

I have a feeling that this transfer will be wrapped up by Thursday evening/Friday morning. This is by no means an ITK thing, it's just my gut feeling.
