That's a good first game to play. Mikel needs to pull a cat out of the bag and make sure we win this one. Imo we're all level atm and a win to start would be excellent. |

While I'm happy to hear that league play will resume, I'm not as excited as I thought I would. I haven't missed football as much as I thought. Maybe if it was a different reason the matches were suspended. I am curious to see the form of clubs. Will Liverpool be almost all conquering? I'm very interested to see how Arteta's strategy is going and if any progress has been made with the squad playing as he wants them to. |

I remember this painfully. We went from having a great defensive midfield (Gilberto, Flamini, Diarra) that could challenge from honors to be bare in the matter of a few months. One of the worst mismanagement of the side we have had in my time as a supporter. https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/ ... SM_xTNXhog |

Really hoping we get Willian. Would hate to see him go to the scum. Just a guess on my part but I think he would probably prefer us but may not because of money. Mourinho may be a factor as well. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/transfer-n ... 08104.html |

Would anyone take Coutinho for £8m for a season long loan? These sorts of expensive loans with no option to buy appear on the face of it a bit of a waste of money, especially when you factor in picking up the players wages. But, if you are short on money but need a short term boost they can be useful. |

Do we really need that position filled. He'll be better than anyone we've got (I don't want to hear from Özil fans about this) but we are sorted there. If it were possible, I'd pay that and more for a season long loan of van Dijk for 10 million. I don't feel we can start any kind of resurgence without a solid back 5. |

We’re probably already stuck with Özil for next season if nobody else will match his wages at Arsenal. I don’t see the point of lumbering ourselves with an Özil Mark II in addition to the original. There’s probably as much chance of Özil returning to his best as there is of Coutinho producing his Liverpool form with us. |

They over-rated him to an absurd degree. He's a player who scores spectacular goals but is hugely inconsistent. And Özil at his best is much better than Coutinho was at Liverpool.....not that we will ever see it again |

An American history professor told us that the reason why Europeans/Americans were able to pacify the land east of the Mississippi easier than the west of the Mississippi was based on two things. 1. Superior weapons and 2. the horse. (a tertiary advantage was disease like small pox). The tribes east of the river didn't have many horses. The Spanish, Cortez and others who invaded present day Mexico came on horseback in the 1500s and horses escaped and bred and migrated into western America. The wild ones were known as mustangs. The Indians at the time were on foot. They mastered horses, Comanches being the best at it. The early English and Dutch settlers in America met tribes who had no horses. Its difficult in that 100 year span to horses to make past that great Mississippi river. There were no land bridges. This book is fascinating and its a great read. Lots of John Wayne movies involved the Comanche and other tribes. They were not easy to pacify. They were warriors in every sense of the word. Found the author discussing it on a podcast randomly. |
