I'm not going to disagree about Arteta picking Willian but I will point out my comment was about his hierarchy and that Edu as director of Footall would have had no small part in Arteta's appointment and backing him when things were going terribly recently. Also bear in mind that Edu was in charge w...

Did i hear correctly he is in self-isolation prior to his move........ ffs he's been self-isolating for the majority of his appearances over the last 3 years anyway

There have been a couple of interesting articles in the last few days which have talked about the £190M we've lost on out of contract players (including Mustafi this coming summer) which is pretty damning. We have been bad at negotiations for years there is no doubt but what is worrying is that with...

It's the Cup and anything can happen, 3-0 to the Arse

Edu was the one who first brought Willian's name to the table, Arteta gave the green light. Edu might offer the defense that Arteta wanted Willian, but at the time negotiations began, Mikel was head coach, not manager. (1/2) [@TheAthleticUK] https://t.co/AvoBRO4pdj This is one of those illusionary ...

Nice to see the conversation come back to Abou - its been way too long. Imagine having old twinkle toes alongside Partey and supplying the young guns up front........if I close my eyes long enough ! Christ SteveO that would have been something to see, all those through balls all the way from the Co...

Happy with the win, has to be said though Newcastle were shit, and look relegation fodder

Big tests up next Saints, then Man Utd

I agree Red but we can only take one game at a time

I'll take that, you can only play what is put in front of you, another good run out for the youngsters, PEA seems to be slowly getting scoring again and another clean sheet with another good defensive display from Holding. Not perfect but definitely a good match to play with no injuries, not massive...

Ok i'm going to say i actually prefer Cedric to Bellerin at least he can beat players and occasionally cross the ball

Superb goal, that boy is going to be very good in his own right ESR and as for Saka well what else can you say

Not sure i'd risk Martinelli from the start either, he managed to injure himself tripping over a ball in the warm up last time out :shock: Seriously though if we're winning well i would give him the extra rest on his ankle and only throw him on if absolutely necessary, as for Gabriel i expect we'll ...

Has he actually, 100% officially gone yet?

So here we are approaching the 'halfway' match against the bar codes, Arteta's 58th match as manager and where has it taken us? A slightly lower win rate than Emery, significantly higher loss rate and 11th in the table. No trophy should ever be discounted and he deserves huge credit for the FA Cup ...

If we don't sign a creative midfielder in this window, then honestly the owners and management of the club deserve everything coming their way i.e. a lower half finish. ESR can't do it in every single game. If we don't sign a RB either (and we won't because like the Swiss Mong, every AFC manager se...

Stop talking about it, dont even mention his name....... let's not jinx it



By the way, is this our mods or Arsenal contract negotiators:
