Another two footed horror challenge from Ugarte. Nothing initially given. A yellow finally came out. This rule that you have to make contact never previously relevant. More fraud.
What are they fucking teaching them up there? The vegan butcher is always tackling like that jumping in two footed now that c.unt Ugarte is at it. I suppose if you’ve zero fear of a red card you’ll continue to tackle that away until some poor fucker gets his leg broken :roll:

Saliba will be the first out of the door from this bunch that's for sure. When he goes the Wenger era copycat stuff will be complete as it will then be open season for anyone who fancies tapping up any of our players.

Broke Real Madrid will try and nick him for 50m paid over 4 years and our gormless c.unts will fall for it and waste all of the money on another Merino clone

Honestly it is history repeating itself. Arteta fans have an average age of about 21 so they just can't remember when all this started under Wenger as they were about 6 at the time but the comparisons are uncanny.

Bottle it on the big occasion, tick

Go from playing quick paced physical football to boring snail's pace tip tap, tick

Fail in the transfer window as the right kind of player wasn't available, tick

Divide the fan base, tick

Lack of leadership, tick

No voice above to question or challenge what you're doing, tick

Assemble a huge but imbalanced squad on mega wages, tick

Stubbornly refuse to address the one or two positions that so obviously need filling, tick

Become snarky with the media and start sprouting utter shite post match, tick

So all that remains now, is sell all your best players below market value for the final massive tick
Agree with most of that apart from a huge squad , we certainly haven't got that.
Except it really is and is being covered up by loans - Calafiori, Lewis Skelly, Zinchenko and Tierney all as LB options? Vieira and Nelson almost forgotten but the former cost 40m plus and Nelson was resigned on a 5 year deal. Kiwior, Tomiyasu just pure shite but on big deals. Marquinhos, Tavares and Lokonga all wasteful signings permanently loaned out

It's a squad made to look smaller than it is because he's had to loan out some of the absolute wankers he's accumulated and its imbalanced - 4 left backs (well 5 if you include Tavares) but 2 central strikers

Wenger revisited- pure shite
To be honest I'd forgotten about the loanees lol

BBC:


Arsenal are interested in signing Portugal forward Diogo Jota, with Liverpool willing to sell the 28-year-old for the right fee because of the number of games he has missed with injury.


Bit fucking late now isn't it. :banghead:



Arsenal and Tottenham are both considering making a move for 24-year-old Fiorentina and Italy striker Moise Kean.

yet another to be added to Arsen teta's " We Nearly Signed Him" list. :roll:

Great news.....so along with helping out Chelsea and City, we're now looking to take the Liverpool's cast-offs.

Fuck me, we're like a footballers' retirement home.

It’s a condition we have. Liverpool selling injury prone players who can’t be relied upon. We decide we will sign them. Fucking insane. Similarly Moise Kean. Shit for Everton. So we think he is good enough for us. Self harm year after year.

As if Arsenal are going in for Jota FFS, he's missed 95 games for Liverpool, he's no better than Jesus on the injury front.
Arsenal in for Moise Kean? I've only just stopped laughing. The news comes from Italy, it'll be his agent trying to get a better contract for him for having one good season. He changes clubs more often than One Bard changes his pants! :D
This is Jotas injury record since 2018/19 - no-ones gonna touch him with a barge pole unless he's on a free and wants 50k a week at most!!

Season. Days injured Games missed
24/25..... 71 days......... 16
23/24..... 104 days......... 25
22/23..... 149 days......... 29
21/22..... 15 days......... 4
20/21..... 97 days......... 23
19/20..... 51 days......... 12
18/19..... 74 days......... 14

Arteta has the worlds biggest hard-on for Sesko. All the eggs are in that basket so don't expect anyone else until Chelsea offer 20m more for him and we're scrabbling around with two days to go in the summer window for a striker!! :roll:

ps: From the little that I have seen of Sesko he is really Not that Good and most definitely not the answer to our (very desperate) Striker needs.

I'd happily be proven Wrong if he were to join us and then Do "The Business", but he just doesn't look the part. :?

Looks like havertz has crocked himself in Dubai, despite our striker shortage I’d still say no great loss

Makes the whole trip worthwhile. Couldn't make this shit up but at the exact same time, it's all completely predictable. In what fucking world would fatso Sterling be the last option available for any club not in the third tier of the Albanian league system?

Free agents.

Wissam Ben Yedder 34. Scored 30 goals for Monaco last season. Recently found guilty of rape and on a suspended prison sentence.

Get that Chelsea man in. :barscarf:

We’ve only played one game since the window closed and have already lost 2 of our 4 remaining fit attacking players.

Just Trossard and Nwaneri left now, expect both to be stretchered off at the weekend.

The injury situation has been a complete joke this season but you reap what you sow biatches.
