A few links with Xhaka going back to Gladbach and Arsenal trying to get Denis Zakaria from Gladbach. I’ve not seen anything of him but he’s described as a 6ft 2 powerhouse with a passing range well beyond his 22 years.

Anyway, looking ahead, the Soton game will not be easy. It's a tough spell for us. We are in a bit of a disarray at the moment on the pitch and in the changing room. We'll just have push through it.

Why would you do that if you're Gladbach? He did do better there but still... Is it Xhaka plus £10M?

without a doubt the most stupid / biased news network on the planet ....

keep whining about Brexit you are probably on safer ground .

Yeah, I'm sure it isn't proposed as a straight swap.

Clearly you haven’t watched Fox News then.

CNN has been forced into a corner by trump who likes to divide people because they kept reporting the actual facts rather than further his lies. Therefore he just taints them

Trump is scumbag and anyone doing his bidding for him a bigger moron

I wave the white flag ...this is like debating with someone from Cane Hill .

Customer: Hello is the new nationalised BT?
BT: Yes Comrade what can we do for you?
Customer: Yes I'd like broadband please?
BT: Of course comrade. Thanks to Comrade Corbyn this is now free. You are in the queue and will your broadband installed in 7 years time.
Customer: Er.....isn't that a long wait?
BT: Nonsense comrade! We are on a 4 day week with 3 months holidays so we are going as fast as we can. Power to the people!

Er I wonder which newspaper you read?

Here's to 5 more years with the Tories.

Yep UK is now a Tory state run by a wealthy oligarchy that controls the media.

A documentary proving that the now Prime Minister had a four year affair with a dodgy foreign woman who received taxpayer funded business benefits from it goes out then it’s revealed he’s having off books meetings with KGB officers and in any other decade that would be it for him.

I’m a fan of certain centre right type political stances but without checks and balances they now run riot. A John Major type PM would be most welcome right now.

Don’t vote. It’s pointless until the English mentality changes and it probably needs a recession to do that

As much as I still think Emery should be given to the end of the season at least, I don't think I've ever been this disinterested in upcoming Arsenal matches. It's one of those periods clubs go through that makes it tough to be a supporter .

I can only imagine what some of you guys went through some seasons in the '70s and early '80s, FA cup finals notwithstanding.

I have a good Polish friend who was married during the communist times. He was told when he applied for a telephone that it would be 9 years. No word of a lie.
However a few prime cuts from his brother's pigs and a few bottles of the hard stuff got the matter sorted considerably more quickly.

My wife is Polish so I can believe every syllable.

I thought it was Leicester or bust ?

Now another month so we can get a flat track bully win againest Southampton, Norwich, and Brighton. Terrific

Long season ahead

That's a swanky new housing development now. See, there's always hope. Or something.

I think you’re right Top Gun. The rumours before the Leicester game was a bad defeat would see Emery sacked. Well it was a bad defeat, not so much for the score line but the way we were outplayed. But he not only survived, he’s now reported as being given another month during which we play relegation candidates.

The thing is he needs 7 to 9 points from those 3 games because the ones that follow are much harder (chelsea, City etc).

The board are in denial

If it continues you will see a return of the apathy towards the club. Time to admit we got this one wrong and change it before we waste another year.

TG I wouldn't be too sure about any flat track bully wins, not one of those three teams will be worried about facing us right now.

Oh don’t get me wrong I didn’t say I was confident and said weeks ago going to Carrow Road won’t be easy.

Why is he being given another month. What will that tell us that we don't already know. Wasting time. Sleepwalking.

Visited Poland for the last 3 summers fishing and relaxing. Lovely country and people.

The only one who has drained the DNA from the club are the owner, Emery, like Wenger, is just symptom of the Kroenke-disease.

Poch has left Tottenham.

Sacked, along with his coaching staff.

Sign him up??

That’s a crazy decision

I’d be surprised if Mourinho doesn’t end up there although I’m concerned they might try and tempt Emery with a huge offer.

Pochettino anyone?

Ramsey puts Wales 1-0 up.

Absolutely. He's a very good manager.

Perhaps Tottenham could make a bid for Emery.

A double swoop for Emery and Xhaka

It would literally rip the heart of the club

And also 2-0 up.

Obituary columns may be full tomorrow.

Wow that came a bit out of the blue, but I'm glad they sacked him, this will well and truly show our board up if Spurs manage to usurp us again in the league and if not then Spurs will have had a poor season (they'll have to to finish below us under Emery!).

I can't believe Mourinho will go there though, they will be on a limited budget and even more so if they are in the EL next season, would be a real change of tactic from him as he is always known as a chequebook manager, which is why I can't see him at Arsenal either.

Anyway I don't really care that much.... Kroenke OUT.

ZZZZ

Poch, despite all the talk, nil trophies in a decade of management.
Mourinho (insert big number of trophies) a proven winner for best part of 20 years.
No mystery to Levy's decision.

Honestly I think they're up *%^@ creek. Pochetino never seemed like he was a huge toxic issue, it seemed like with heavy reliance on a few, admittedly very good, players and with 4* of them leaving on frees this summer I believe, the whole system was creaking. I'm note sure anyone else is going to get a lot more from them. But maybe that's just my view from the outside. Maybe he's totally lost it?

*Eriksson, Alderwierlad, Rose and Vertonghen? All their contracts are up I think??

Spurs gets decisive, Arsenal drag their feet .......... typical

And Serge gets a hattrick .... we really lost this one
