I fear you may be right Red....
The way Nketiah comes on like a Grinning Eddie Murphy Impersonator - The *word censored* doesn't even break into a sweat.... But I bet he's swift enough to check that his £100k a fuckin' week (*) has gone into his account.
(*) That's Two Thirds of a MILLION Fuckin Pounds every month for strolling around grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
And of course then there is (The Fake) Vieira, aka: 'The Cocktail Stick' (© OBG!

If we don't sign a Proper Striker we won't win the title. easy as.
We have all highlighted the deficiencies in the squad and where we need to strengthen.
For me, if he doesn't address the known issues and we fail to win one of the cups or win the PL (giving some allowance that the PL will allow Cheaty to continue unabated) then Diet Pep needs to go.
Some will be happy to be on the cusp
but this will be 5 seasons and all he has to show is an FA cup with Emery's team and for the money spent that's not good enough.
Still top 4 is a trophy
Yep Nick, I said exactly this 2 or 3 weeks ago…if we don’t sign a top quality centre mid and probably most importantly, a top quality striker, then Arteta can have no excuses. It’s been clear since he took over that we were short of a proper goalscorer and Jesus was never the answer and never will be.
It doesn’t matter who we sign, City will still be favourites to win the league, but we should push them every inch of the way again and need to go very close in the CL, a semi final at the very least. As for the domestic cups, his customary early exits are unacceptable and although I find it difficult to say we must win one of the cups (it sounds entitled), after virtually 5 years and fortunes spent, I suppose we are entitled to expect a trophy. It is, in the final analysis, what a manager of a club of our stature is judged on. It comes to something when Ten Haag has won an FA Cup and a League Cup in two seasons with that shower and we’ve had fuck all since the cup win with Emery’s side.
If every effort is made to achieve success and we come up short, I can accept it, but if he fails to sign the two key players everyone can see we need and we come up short, then it will be hard to justify him keeping the job.
Riccardo Calafiori is now in the USA ahead of completing his move to Arsenal & meeting his new team-mates.
