A poster on the Gooners' board working out why they were able to get Dennis Suarez from Barcelona with no competition...

"I know it’s only his first game and it’s City away so I don’t want to sound harsh, but Dennis Suarez’ looks a bit...underwhelming..."

BBC are stating that he was also on the Citeh books 6 years ago.

< go figure >
 
If I were a Nomad I'd set up a GoFundMe so people can pay this bloke to keep his gob shut before games, because he makes the ArsenalFanTV pond life look calm and rational...

Then again, the stuff the club itself puts out is hardly helpful either...

Our rivals just keep winning don't they? However we kissed second place so it can happen again.
 
Awful weekend for the goons with United, Chelsea and us all winning. They are going to have to try and do what united did a few years back and win the EL if they want CL football next season.
They have a lot of high earning players that are simply not good enough to get into the top 4 who will be really difficult to shift due to their wages.

The eternal dilemma :

Drop the transfer fee to get them off the wage bill,
or try to get the best fee while the wage bill is draining you.

£550,000 a week of that additional wage spend goes on Ozil and M'Khitaryan alone. That's 2 players who they can't even put in their team against anyone that's any good, because they're just not up to playing how the manager wants them to do.

That's £550,000 a week......or £28,600,000 a year......or £71,500,000 between now and when their contracts expire in 2021, on 2 players their manager'd really rather be without.
 
Arsenal defender, Shkodran Mustafi was unable to finish this evening's game in Manchester. The club were waiting on an update on the German centre half............

.....and it's in...........He's completely ****.
