The Aubameyang goal was terrific. It must give the players a lot of confidence to score a team goal like that. Not just in each other but also in Arteta's methods.

Arsenal rumoured to have made a £22.5m bid for Odsonne Edouard. You'd have to assume Lacazette would be off if that went through. Lacazette only has 2 years left on his deal and there haven't been any noises about a new contract. I would assume Edouard would be on significantly less wage than Lacazette, is 7 years younger and would still retain a decent value.

If the club are looking at decreasing the wage bill and making money on players whilst we can then this would seem a sensible switch. The risk is we don't know how Edouard will adapt to moving up a level

Most, if not all of us hated Leeds when they were in the top flight and probably took pleasure seeing them implode. But I gotta admit I was hoping they made it back to the PL. Chastened, phoenix from the ashes.

Anyone seen the new Christopher Nolan movie ?

Thought he over cooked it personally but a good watch never the less.

Martinez gone. £20m and 4 year deal. Villa have a good keeper and we have some money towards our midfield.

And towards a replacement number 2 keeper?

The trailers look good. I quite fancy it.

But, sadly, it will be a long time before I would attend a cinema.

Recently I learned I'm not indestructible

Maybe Ash himself will now feel obliged to keep quiet about the next Leno boo boo. But he’s not the only possible candidate.

Pinched from BBC, I thought it was funny anyway.

Saw it Friday, bizarre to be so spaced out with compulsory mask wearing after being in the pub, which was a zoo.

Found the film slightly frustrating viewing, apart from the “mind blowingness”, which I’m not sure about at all, it seemed beset with what I call grim acting, everyone fairly emotionless and being all gruff. Although that’s a bit Nolan. Had me talking about the film and thinking about it afterwards so perhaps thought provoking at least.

Many of us will have hated them since well before then. The brand of anti-football of Don Revie introduced us sticks long in the mind.

I will feel obliged to do nothing cheeky sod, if an Arsenal footballer makes a mistake for Arsenal he may get criticised on the Gleiber forum, and I might even criticise him myself, feels par for the course. If Leno makes the odd mistake what I will not be doing, and neither I’d wager will anyone else be, is pining for Martinez. Although I might if only to wind you up. Fair warning.

Having just read the last post by Gaz from Oz, are you sure about the ‘neither I’d wager will anyone else’ comment?

Good on you Ash. I will not give the same undertaking. It will depend on the mistake and how crucial it is. Down the track Leno gets injured it might get very interesting at our club.

Arsenal.com are saying that It’s hoped Martinelli can return to full training by the end of the calendar year. So I guess he won’t be playing until January at the earliest, more likely February. That’s a long injury.

Always worrying when a youngster gets an injury that keeps him out for so long.

Not sure what else the club was supposed to do in this situation. If Martinez wanted an assurance that he was going to be No.1 and Arteta wasn't prepared to give him that assurance, he was always going to leave. In an ideal world it would be great if he'd stayed and we had two top drawer goalkeepers in the event of one of them getting injured, but that was never going to happen. All Arteta can do now is use some of the Martinez money to sign a competent goalie who is prepared to be No.2 to Leno.

A team of two faces back then? Mostly teamwork and skill of the highest order, but sometimes the most cynical outfit ever seen in top level English football.
