Actually annoyed me the headline and notion of this article tbh. Very poorly advised or just very naive if they (those advising) or otherwise don't realise that there's vile cunts out there who will lap up this shit and be as disgusting as they can be. I mean I will caveat that I won't even give it the clicks. I doubt I need to. The pile on will ensue, all for what? What's his sexuality got owt to do with it at this stage? The gadgie fucked up and now cause The Sun advertised it they wanna make him a martyr for more sales. All this cause a football man said he doesn't like another football man or team when he was off his lips? Don't we all. Blokes had his career and life ruined. The world is fucking minging sometimes like. And don't get me started on them fucking vultures at The Sun. The cunts.

Was talking to a mate today and his ticket is going up by what the thought was gonna be like £200 and when I said what mine was it was more like £400. Madness tbh. The one thing we had under Ashley was affordable ticketing (if you were on the schemes).

TBH, like I'm of the view that anyone who pulls on the Black and White top and gives the hard work and dedication Miggy does, then they're 100% worthy of my support. These lads don't have the responsibility to pick themselves in the first 11. They have the responsibility to give it their all when they do and he has. If they're shite then the club and the manager should upgrade. Miggy has been a great servant for the club and his goal against Fulham (a) and that PSG one in particular are phenomenal moments and when people slate him I just find it all a bit silly. He absolutely is frustrating but he's played his part in our success as have many of the current squad, if not all.

Hate Man United but the ticket pricing crack is horrific across the league. In fact, the money across the league is just horrific.

Apologies, I had interpreted the tweet as the deal would go through at the end of next week. Then presumably we would have him until the end of the season. And maybe just to ensure they got him. He'll do well out there again. Don't get the grief he gets tbh I find it all a bit weird.

He gives you more than a space or a youngster with no PL experience though, surely.

Because we are still getting the money even if the deal goes through at the end of the season. So actually, apart from his salary we'd be gaining a player and some degree of strength in depth more than fielding a youngster who has no experience at this level.

With Spurs, Chelsea and Man United? Or did you mean a Europe thing?

Find that a bit crazy tbh. I'd happily have him until the summer if we don't intend to replace this week.

Even if we don't being anyone else in?

Hopefully he's here to the end of the season.

Do tell

I'm just sick of his shit me. That line about the ball being light versus us in the cup. What an absolutely embarrassing statement to make. Then to come out with that level of arrogance yesterday and say it's obvious. It clearly isn't fucking obvious because half the country are debating it. For me - if that's a straight Red then so is the Wolves one. Both went studs up into ankles and can see the rationale for both tackles to be Yellows or Reds. They're both very borderline. To suggest it's obvious is minging. Almost like he couldn't quite say it in full honesty so just said something to deflect. It's all just part of a pathetic, desperate narrative to try and drive a siege mentality at Arsenal. That might work for a few seasons but then it runs its course. He's creating it and it is insufficient to assist him in winning him things and so he is absolutely fucked. Cause he hasn't got anywhere else to go, because he isn't good enough.

Arteta is such a cunt.

I kinda feel like when we had Ashley a lot of folk claimed he wasn't that bad (who didn't support us) and now that he's fucked off and their own clubs aren't winning things they reference their own clubs as their own respective versions of "Ashley". I mean, forgive my ignorance in advance, but how is Levy like Ashley? They've built a whole new fucking state of the art stadium and invested in the club? Alright their wages to turnover might be shite or whatever, but they're paying for a brand new stadium. They may have not recruited well, but in essence that is not the same as Ashley. Man United are being stripped apart. Fucking Geoff and Janet the cleaners are losing their jobs that is more Ashley-esque but even Man United have spunked millions on shite managers and players and slowly driven themselves down to where their assets no longer outweigh their debt and the lack of Europe could be crippling. But neither are anywhere near as bad as Ashley was for NUFC. We had like nothing, no opportunity for revenue, no expenditure on players, just a 1 in 1 out pound for pound-hope that you can shake things up mentality that gambled the clubs existence on odd bits of quality. They've both mismanaged their respective clubs and that is the only thing remotely like our levels of Ashley. Perhaps I need to educate myself. I don't know.

Looked as deliberate as you can get the Brighton one and no attempt to legitimately play the ball. Should probably have been off.

Fair dues.

I think poor can be subjective tbh mate. Poor could mean poor based on how good we know he can be or it could be poor versus other players either on the day or overall. Bizarrely, (folk such as your good self may feel) I think Gordon has around the same goal contributions as Murphy this season and I would consider him (to use the term) "poor" because he is capable of more as shown last season. Murphy I'd consider to be almost outstanding based on this is probably his strongest ever patch. Just as an example.

How is the Brighton pen not also a Red...as blatant a deliberate handball as you'll ever see (or am I playing by like 1998 rules )

I think he hasn't been as good as last season to be honest and often gets no stick for his mistakes when comparing with someone like Murphy who is criticised even when he plays well. He's lacked assertion and quality in elements of his game, but on his game he's somewhat unplayable.

Aye it's a risk element we seem to accept. Either that or Gordon simply doesn't do his defensive job.

Agreed.

For their offside goal? I absolutely agree.

Tino is being relied upon to be our pace to cover the central back two and is not only central but the last man to ensure we have the best chance of catching the opposition when they break in such instances. So I'm less concerned with him being a yard behind than Schars decision to try and glance a header back to the keeper there when he isn't the last man and has no awareness of what's around him. At 3-1 it should have been firm header forward and job done.

So with the PSR glass ceiling you have the option of spending to replace these folk or bringing in youth players who cannot offer any experience or anything to those in the first 15/16. Our academy and youth set up is nowhere near of the level of many Premier League clubs that we aspire to be like or better. I can agree on Gillespie, but the others absolutely served their purpose for the overall dressing room and ethics of Eddie Howe and the club as a whole. We've been down the road of overpaid pre-madonnas before and been relegated. Thankfully Benitez (and Lascelles) made people respect the football club again, as did some of those mentioned. Keeping some of those old heads around as we transition has been imperative to ensuring the right level of respect and application is applied by those joining the club. By improving on 3 or 4 of those you potentially lose the chance to sign a Tino a Hall or at the top end someone like a Bruno or Botman.
