I feel so much more assured about the defending with Okoli being mobile, capable of changing direction without having to apply for planning permission first and having the insurance of Wilf in front. Faes looks less frantic and haywire too, no doubt due to the extra insurance around him.

Soumare won it well, Bilal with the cross opened them right up then it got a bit scruffy but who cares!

Gerrin!

Badge check complete….

In case he walks into a Skipp

A good point. You need a bigger squad to cope and they give you a bit of money that can go towards that but players won't sign a 1 year deal and there's no guarantee you'll have CL football for every year of their contract (extremely unlikely in our case). Then you have the agents who smell blood and come out offering ways of us parting with our new found relative wealth. In the old set up you could be out after 6 games, that's just six games, 3 opportunities for corporate stuff at the home matches, sponsorships, gate receipts etc yet you sign players on 3 or 4 year deals to help you cope with "that". That's why the likes of Spurs, Chelsea and Man Utd who are on the fringes of qualifying want it guaranteed year in year out with the super league etc. They aren't the ones who deserve sympathy, the likes of Villa and (cough) Forest who might make it one year but not the next have big decisions to make, all whilst staying within the domestic FFP.

Yes 12:30.

He should be snapped up

I think the Chelsea game was the last straw, set up to just keep the score down and not even have a go, it showed in the final minutes when subs came on and Mavididi ran at them that they weren't unbeatable at the back but even neutrals and broadcasters were shocked at how negative we had been. That day the players body language and heads went too, there was a 10-15 minute spell of wild challenges then verbals when substituted, gestures etc, arguing amongst themselves

No chance of that, staying at Arsenal and think he's injured at the moment

You mean that bit where despite being without our best winger for the season we just had our CB come in and say he wants to go and play with his old mates, we say yeah maybe but we might need you to play with us, he says he'll see if his old mates have a new mate who doesn't want to be mates anymore and could play with us instead, we see which mate that is and aren't too sure about him.........it's more like the Dog and Duck A Team on a Sunday morning than Professional Premier League.

How, just how, can he be one of the two most capable Welsh goalkeepers? Surely they could just strategically shave a sheep and stick a pair of gloves on it and that would be a better option. A child? Someone? Anyone?

It comes to something when our big hope for the Manchester Utd game on Friday is ruled out as unavailable as he has a detention for farting in a Physics lesson that morning

I'd consider Justin as one of 3 CB's with Coulibaly at RWB. A lot of his faults have been from being out of position, too far inside or too far upfield, at CB there would be less chance of that happening and he would bring some pace and mobility to the CB positions. Mads Justin Coady Okoli Coulibaly Kristiansen Ndidi Soumare Bilal Daka (or Buanonotte) Vardy The wingers are offering nothing so do away with them. Ayew can be an impact sub as a CF, maybe Eduard too. Winks has been sloppy and hiding from responsibility, he can hide on the bench. Skipp can get in one. We HAVE TO try something different

None of you have been listening properly. There is still the deal sheet scenario then the free agents, the excitement grows by the minute, I still have some pork pies and cheese remaining in my Transfer Window buffet and I’m sticking with it, in for the long haul, come on Dharmesh who have we got???

I look forward to the clear and transparent communication from the club in the coming days about this window and Tops programme notes. I mean they communicate about everything else, “How was your match day experience”, “It’s ex player so and so’s birthday, yay”, “Our tacky tat is reduced to a tenner today, aren’t we generous” etc. So surely they’ll communicate about failing to provide a Premier League squad capable of being competitive despite charging what they do for tickets? Speak to us leader, in it together and all that. Right now our club doesn’t even have a pulse and every agent, player, club and opponent know it.

Have to try something different and not reward bottlers, hiders and cowards with repeated selection. Change the shape, mix it up, not because it’s Arsenal but because it’s overdue.

Well done Buxton, you’ve struck oil with that move

It’s confirmed. We’re bringing in Virgil.E. Forque-Hall

Two minutes…….I’ll settle for 4 incomings right now

There has been an appeal for a retrospective Red card and a 4 match ban. I should know, it's me that has lodged the appeal

It wasn't Enzo on the other end of the phone.....

For what MacAteer has to offer, even if we can't get a replacement in, pushing up Justin in front of the new RB for the last 20 minutes of a game would be no less effective.
