Bayern haven’t been consistently great this season, that’s all very true, they’d happily admit that. But at the end of the day it’s still Bayern, the likes them and Madrid can still get their shit together and compete and even win Champions...

I’ve been having a good think what I think the current state of the team / squad is, and how we improve on it, and the main issue for me is I think we are missing that star quality in the forward areas. You get to this stage in the Champions...

Indeed, its very true, never mind on field, off field as well, and dressing room culture is something that we the fans have very little insight to. I'm not sure even as good as we have been, that we have struck the balance right with the number...

Has Nkunku not only started 2 games or something? Bit harsh to judge him on that 1. I’ll concede to you on Ensor and Caceido. Anyway, you watch them more than me mate, so I’m not wanting to teach my grandmother how to suck eggs. The most...

I know, but the problem i think is that i'm struggling to see if the problem lies with Poch, the group of players, or just the speed and profile of how the squad has been put together. Where i'm at is that i have seen some moments of quality...

I think Chelsea would almost be best served actually just standing still, and letting things actually cook. We know that doesn't happen, but just target and sign 2 or 3 top signings in areas where they think they are weakest, get them in the...

Is the main issue not that your selling your hotel from 1 Chelsea owned group to another? Are Arsenal’s property sales not sold to the general public rather than a different KSE group? Again, how is that comparable? Arsenal owners paid of bonds...

Yeah, I must admit, I do worry he’s a bit of a home bird if that’s the case and might be pining for home within a season. Think it might be now or never in terms of signing him, this season is the perfect time to recruit for that position...

Agreed, I think Zubimendi seems to be the one that’s linked constantly, that link has been pretty consistent the last 18 months or so, the problem seems to be that he’s in no rush to leave Sociedad.

It is. I’m still at a loss to explain our 2nd half performance. We perform like that, anyone can beat us, we were that poor. I always thought Chelsea could cause problems on the counter vs us, if you play to the levels you did vs City away.

I wouldn’t say that for sure. It’s Arsenal in April remember!

He’s a centre back by trade but started the Community Shield and the first game of the season at left back. Think under Pep and Arteta teams, we need to forget about the role of conventional full backs with their liking for playing centre backs...

We also finished 5th the season before last. We should have finished 4th under Emery as well but he rested players and got beat at home to Crystal Palace then got beat 3-0 at Leicester the next week. We got 4 points in the final 5 games of the...

See what Utd are currently serving up with Ten Hag….conceding 30 shots a game a lot of games, that’s what it was like in the end for Arsenal under Emery. A likeable guy, but I’m not sure he could have sorted Arsenal out. I like him at clubs like...

I think it’s obvious we play at our best when he’s alongside Jorginho. Midfield, like defences, are about partnerships. I think in Arsenals case, it’s not even about labelling 1 as a 6, or 1 as an 8. I think you can alternate who plays the higher...
