Mustafi and Wilshere I agree with, can't make my mind up on Xhaka, I think he is a useful squad player. Bellerin just needs discipline to make him aware of the danger of turnover of possession.

PL 4th next season will finish with :
1. at least 77 pts
2. a GD > 30
I am of course unfairly cheating on one of the above ...
Most new managers take a season to assess what they've got and what they need. Mauricio Pochettino did and then kicked 10+ players out and finished third. Pep turned up, found his defence wasn't up to it and had to improve his lot...Klopp the same. I just can't see that group of players, with a manager new to the league, finishing above any of United, Liverpool and Spurs. Those 3 clubs should be stronger again next season. All of them.
Emery is a huge difference to what Arsenal's players are used to. He's a meticulous planner and is going to make demands of players. many of whom just aren't used to that approach. Some will rise to it, others aren't going to like it much. It'll take a season to sort out who is going to stay and who is going to move on. I reckon a lot of them will be gone before the second season.
Conte's first season was different. Essentially, he had what was a title winning side with no European football to get in the way of the PL games and really, it was a freak outcome for a newly appointed coach. If that team had actually tried in the previous season, there's no way Mourinho would have been sacked by Chelsea.
Personally think Bellerin is horrendous, the only thing that makes him attractive to clubs is his speed. Can't defend, can't cross and has zero footballing intelligence.
Xhaka just looks like a useless oaf to me. I don't understand what his game is. Is he meant to be defensive? Attacking? Bit of both? Just seems poor in all aspects.
I don't follow other teams players so couldn't care less about them.Following Spurs is enough to worry about,in my opinion!
So here's hoping we don't get off to a slow start next season and not showing up or conking out in the cupties!!! The players must know this.
.....and if Harry can start scoring in August instead of September,he could set another record......if the World Cup doesn't destroy him!

Seeing the headlines - Arsenal turn to Emery this was the first thing that came to mind

I'll take that avatar wager.
Chelsea to finish above you boys next season.
How long for 3 months?
Agreed. Xhaka is useless. Their central midfield is in general.
Quite like bellerin. He's been poor this season but I thought he's generally pretty good and has the full package if he was trained properly.
I would take him
****ing hell, Bob, you're clucking to get a wager out of me!
Go on then, mate. I'll take it, otherwise you won't stop pestering me the whole window lol.
what do you fancy mate, a picture of terry holding a trophy or a picture of sol holding a trophy?
just doing it for a laugh, no idea who chelsea are going to buy, no idea who the next manager is, the squad is looking a bit patchy. May the best man win

You're a sadistic **** to think of those two!
Gonna be an interesting window, especially now the deadline's changed for the better, no more panic buys from the rich if things don't get off to the best of starts. I'm hoping we go into the season with a bit of momentum, new stadium should get the lads buzzing and once we've secured the signings of Bale, Seri, de Ligt, Sessegnon and Immobile, we should be looking sweet
Will he have been anywhere near the pitch before picking it up, though?
The twat might get one on Saturday, annoyingly. Bruce knows how to get teams promoted.
me and piskie did a 7 month avatar bet... you sir...are a pussy
still no idea why either of us agreed to it though

Bob can only count up to 3, the poor lad.
You : a bad day at the pee sock factory.
Her : the Goon delusion that 2016-17 was a one season blunder.
Or was he counting the number of times Chelsky
threw the towel in on PL games in 2017-18 ??
only 3?
If it was only 3 games we threw the towel in then i'm not sure you can count our season as throwing in the towel.
