What is bizarre is thinking missing just Casemiro is a huge loss and people were actually changing their predictions in the Arsenal vs United game after he was suspended (check out the match day thread for the comments) but same people trying to down play making 6 changes can't be used as having...

I guess it depends if you count any player in the squad as a first teamer and not weakening your side significantly. The equivalent version of that Arsenal team for United would be starting with Heaton Wan-Bissaka- Martinez-Lindelof-Malacia Casemiro-Eriksen Anthony-Elanga-Garnacho Weghorst...

How is it disingenuous to say it was a weakened team? Before the Arsenal Man Utd game we had to see quite a few posts mentioning that you weren't at full strength because you had 2 or 3 players missing. We made 6 changes from our strongest 11 (7 if you count Jesus being unavailable) for this...

It's funny how injuries to key players are disregarded, they lost a few games near the end of the season=they bottled it. Completely ignoring same thing happen at the start of the season where we were on a horrendous run because we had a lot of injuries too. But of course you can't label it...

He signed a 3 year extention in 2019 running to 2024. Don't know if he signed any other extention after that or if City had an option to extend beyond that already in that contract. So looking at that when we bought him this summer he had at least 2 years left on his contract.

Sounds a bit pedantic to correct you on this but Zinchenko cost £30m (rising to £32m with add-ons).

Fair enough. To be honest as an Arsenal fan who is close to nearly 2 decades now without a league title, I'm erring on the side of being cautious on our chances. There is still a long way to go. Yes the 2 games against City will have a big say where the title goes. Surprisingly I'm not so much...

Either side of our game Brighton beat Southampton 3-1 and Everton 4-1.The only player missing from our game with them who was involved in those other 2 games was Ceicedo. So if they can thrash pl teams but suddenly you can't read too much into our result when the only difference is one player...

There is a comment there from 3.5 years ago which you could be forgiven for thinking it was this season. The last sentence I actually thought was referring to the recent England game.

6th seems about right to me. Which would be acceptable provided you see something tangible being build. A clear style of play, new culture/mindset, the right players being brought in etc. Then you could kick on the next season otherwise you will be going into a vicious circle which will make it...

Tbf we only lost the first 3 games which were all played in August. Won the next 3, which is a very quick turnaround. If you lose too many points in those 12 games stretch mentioned then it will be extremely difficult to have any kind of a good season. So basically if after the Liverpool game...

So far I have an average of just over 50 posts a year. Which it is safe to say would rule me out being in the clique, if there ever was such a thing. There is also no reason for me to choose sides. When I read the post that seems to have upset you, to me it clearly was referring to Arnautovic...

Don't have to look at any other reason. So far whenever he has been in the premier league, frankly he has been very underwhelming. Before this season he scored 24 goals in 104 appearances, this includes penalties. His last season in the premier league he scored 3 goals in 27 appearances (one of...

I have seen this a few times now but where are people getting this from? I haven't seen a rule or law that specifically forbids this. Even Ornstein in his latest tweet said Chelsea are willing to pay Frenkie's deferred wages. Doubt he would write that openly like that if it was illegal. Or did...
