United?!?! As in, the team with 13? Prem titles? No thanks. Relegation would be decent...
Ahhh, but they’re definitely an underdog these days! ;)

(They are second only to spurs in my hatred of football teams, if we can’t win it I’d rather Newcastle did, even with their dodgy owners)

Long may it continue. Pity Ten Hag looks like he knows what's needed.. :-(

This Arsenal v Utd game is a proper game of footy.

Though they've got City (A), Chelsea (H) and Newcastle (A) late April, early May which would be a hilarious collapse.

It took work behind the scenes for Edu to get more control over transfers, but the squad he's now building with that influence should keep them from dropping off too much. Kiwior is another good addition.

I can't remember what the clauses we still have regarding Holding are, so I've no idea if we'll get anything if he goes this window.

I’d be surprised if he did go. Seems quite happy to be back up and is thought of very highly in the dressing room I think, excellent squad player, I hope we keep him.

Always been well liked at Arsenal, but he has had offers for a while and it'll be interesting to see what happens now they have more depth.

Not got any more players in central defence recently, I think he will be used, especially in Europa and Fa cup games more as the season goes on. He’s often bought on for the last 10 min or so when we are winning tight games to become part of a back 5 and does a good job. He might deceide he wants to play more regularly elsewhere I guess but he said only recently he’d spoke to Lacazette who told him the grass is not always greener elsewhere.

Kiwior is that player. I don't know how that affects Rob, but I do know he has concrete offers if he decides he needs to move on and play more.

Ahhh, he’s not been technically announced yet, but was at the game today so likely a done deal. We shall see. I like Rob and hope he stays but wouldn’t blame him if he does decide to leave.

Ken cashed them all in early didn't he?

Those 2 games Arsenal have to play v City are going to be nervy for you GG!

No. Or at least I believe not. Ken cashed in certain clauses. I'm just going off what I was told at the time, that we were still due some money if he moved on. That could just be the basic solidarity money, though.

Think BN reported within the last year or so that we'd sold the appearances based clause but still had the sell on.

Excellent. Let's hope Burnley come in for him then at £20m. Watch him leave on a Bosman now :whack:

Every game is nervy at the moment. Everton have lost their manager and we play them next in the league. You just know they will win against us now!

Harry Kane equals Greavsie's scoring record for Spurs. Just an excellent footballer. Well done, young man.

Just watching the Spezia v Roma game and what a goal from Tammy Abraham. Awful defending, but a nice touch into a nut meg and then a flash of pace to place the finish.

Lovely stuff.
