Yeah, an interesting, balanced article. Highlights the money spent and expectations for further return that go with that whilst also showing how hard it is to usurp city

Thanks for this augie, very good article.

No hysteria and no emotion, just facts and a clear outline of where we are and what we need to achieve. Arteta is almost 5 years at the helm….time to deliver.

Behave I'm open minded!

Till the window slams shut.


Although my sources tell me the new contract will have a 'De Zerbi' clause. Should a striking young Italian manager become available and express an interest in the Arsenal job, Arteta has to step aside.

Uswilson will be pleased

De Zerbi is the dream really. With Simeone as assistant manager. 8)

Give it another week for the window to slam shut and all we have is our misfiring pair of Havertz and Jesus and you’re gonna be on the laudanum.

Open minded? Nah. That’s fake optimism. You know what’s coming just as well as Uncle Retro knows. No new striker.

I’d like to see that open mindedness tested if we bought Stirling. :lol:

That's like asking how "open minded" I'd be if I was thrown into prison with a bunch of rapey lifers.... :shock:

The answer is not, not at all !!
