Could be better dude, but can't complain given the alternative I was facing. Feeling very thankful tbh!

Good to hear that you are in better shape and ready to roar Mikel and the boys over the finishing line😁

Great to see your main man DB with TH at the Emirates on Saturday and the photos & videos with Saka & ESR were brilliant

Something must have been going on because Lehmann and Gilberto Silva were there as well.

As was Anders Limpar, although Im not sure if he was a guest of the club or just there under his own steam
(A friend got a photo with him, so I know he was in attendance )

Cheers mate. 8)

I will indeed be roaring Martinez-Lite and his players on. I don't rate the guy as a manager due to his ego and lack of experience but I wish him every success with us - as I did Arsene. :wink:

The real DB looked alot balder and chubbier in those photos but he is still the greatest footballer I have ever had the privilege to watch play. The man is a living God. 8)

I keep flip-flopping with Arteta (with PV4 in the wings), as things stand with 5th pretty much locked up, given the competition this season I think he deserves a new contract.

If things go tits up in the future we know Paddy is ready, willing, and able to come home.

IF he gets top 4 then he just about deserves to stay as manager next season, but that is not the same as deserving a new contract - ffs why are we in such a rush to give a new BUMPER contract to a guy who has not convinced at all ?? He is not out of contract this summer so lets just see how things progress before rushing in to give new contracts - we got stung in the very recent past by giving out panic contracts, and sure as night follows day we will get stung here again if he gets a new contract

By the time the next transfer window has closed, saliba will have been sold and xhaka and nketieh and/or laca will have signed new contracts, and then we will see how many will support the new contract that is def incoming

PV4 will be the next manager at $hitty.

I would LOVE him to come back as Manager, but when Pep hangs up his cones and and notepad I reckon PV4 will take over. :? :cry:

It was interesting to hear a couple weekends ago that Arteta changed the team formation to assist Tavares on the left. Playing a 3-4-3 system. We have the players to play this effectively and make us a better attacking team. Tavares has some really good qualities, shooting isn't one of them. He has pace, can run with the ball, however, he's affecetd Martinelli's game. It's no coincidence Martinelli is less effective with Tavares behind him. For the last 4 games of the season, Arteta needs results and 3-4-3 yields us results. Holding/ white/ Gabriel at the back is our strength. Despite his form and captaincy I'd sacrifice Odegaard and go with ESR who is more direct and opens up the opposition defence more.

I like him but he frustrates me. Reminds me a lot of Ozil. Obviously very technically gifted with the ball but hugely inconsistent. I hope he kicks on next year and starts producing assists on a regular basis.
