Trying hard to be objective, even though I've never been a fan of his. It's difficult in this day and age to separate out the "Head Coach's" contribution to a team's success or failure. Where do Arteta's responsibilities end and Edu's as "Sporting Director" begin? One thing that ...

For all that Chelsea have generally spunked money like it is going out of fashion....I'd prefer to be singing "Forty million down the drain, Cole Palmer scores again" instead of the Havertz song.

If Wenger had gone at the equivalent stage - ie after the 2006 Champions' League Final when he had done consistently well over 9 years in charge - he would have deserved to be remembered as an Arsenal legend. Instead he dragged us down with him for 12 more years and deserves to be remembered mainly ...

We need to prioritise signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli in the summer. An out-and-out top-drawer striker, 25 and approaching his prime. Chelsea are also sniffing around (as they always are) but It will help if we are at least able to offer him Champions' League football next year, which is now our ...

The scary thing is when you analyse this squad there are very few who are clearly good enough to win major trophies: I'd say just Saliba, Rice, Oedegaard, Saka (despite his awful form). Not Martinelli, who has regressed. Gabriel has his good days but is too error-prone. Ditto the two keepers. This i...

Here's a prediction. Salah will take the Saudi league money, if not now then certainly in the summer. Klopp will buy a want-away Saka as his replacement, at a price which reflects his form this season, rather than what he would have been worth a year ago. He will turn Saka into the player we knew he...

We have not had a decent player from the Chavs since George Graham 58 years ago John Hollins done ok..but was at tail end of his career....cant remember another one loved "stroller" as a player...pure class John had been with QPR for 4 years when we signed him. I'm thinking of the success...

The illusion of progress over the past 2/3 years. Better than Wenger, but flatlined since early Emery

Bassey is the sort of aggressive, dominant centre-back Wenger or Arteta would never sign. Georgie Graham would have loved him.

In 1932 (when we had a team to be proud of) we lost an FA Cup Final 2-1 to Newcastle thanks to a goal scored from a ball which was clearly out being crossed from the byline.

This is like going back to the days of Drogba and Terry. They are physically stronger than us. It's why we needed Caicedo more than we needed Rice.

If you're going to get a yellow, hurt the opponent. Don't be a pussy Zinc.

For goodness sake just go old school and clear the half-way line from the keeper's kick.
