Balogun to Monaco is all but done. €40m with add ins included and we retain a significant sell on clause.

I expect the all on clause has led to a slightly lower fee than fans would have hoped for. If the sell on clause never materialises in to anything decent then we’ve got a good deal on the original sale, if we get buckets of money in a sel on that’s good but also shows that he was probably god enough to be worth retaining

I am not sure I understand why he was not sold to another EPL club where the fee would have been much higher. Arteta has reached a decision he is not good enough then he should have the courage to back his own decision. This is some type of cover my arse decision. He cant afford for him to be a success in the EPL otherwise egg on his face. We should be taking every pound we can make. Besides if he's no good it weakens our competitors.

Hadn't realized cups in Europe were as rigged back then as I'm reading and watching videos. Shocking.
Leeds cheated out of a cup twice in 2 years is crazy.

Star Boy’s 83rd consecutive start today, breaking Merse’s record.

Bought the new 3rd kit which I’ll be sporting today. First one I’ve bought in years. Rather like the retro green.

Stroll today. Would be nice to see big gab back. Hope Trossard gets some decent minutes. Up the gunners

Ne jinx pas !

time for a bacon sandwich and black coffee before i jump in the motor but a reminder which country has the worst public transport in the galaxy right now

f the Tories

Denmark with a casual 100% coverage. Bloody show offs!

At least you have a public transport system. Here we have minibus taxi mafias and potholes.

You have sunk to the bottom of first division but there are many circles of transport hell that are worse than the UK.

Not a good thing at all. Are we going to wait until he is completely knackered and then see if someone like Nelson is good enough? Surely Fulham at home is a good opportunity? Otherwise you can bet we'll have an injury crisis during on of our tough runs of games.

There’s a good in-depth article in this morning’s Grauniad - should be easy to find. He come across as an impossibly - amazingly - genuine character.

Never thought I’d say this about a star footballer but he is a really nice young man.

Good Godman are you really so ignorant?

Blame the Conservatives for the mess British Rail is in but tell the truth about who run transport in the Cities.

Labour runTFL and most cities in the UK are also rubby them.

The only exception can think of is Birmingham and I believe they have a very well run Conservative city.

.. and the mayors budget isn’t at all affected by central government, lack of growth or general malaise the country has fell into,

anyways just arrived early (no traffic problems) and intend on enjoying a substantial italian lunch followed by sun, fun, plenty of beer and an Arsenal victory,

enjoying wallowing in your self imposed misery

COYG

Good goal for Spurs. Madison's movement is top notch.

I’m all for the the endless political bickering with no progress or point to it, but i’d be obliged if you could keep that kind of filth off the forum please. Honestly.

My wallet-based STs wouldn’t work. Took 5 attempts with different staff, none of whom had a scooby. Best advice seemed to be “keep trying”.

System just doesn’t work.

Anyone got a working link for the game?

Partey continue at RB
Kiwior the latest to play at LB
Trossard up front (or maybe Havertz?)
Jesus and Zinny on a Stacked bench

Would love Havertz to get his first goal today jut to get it done

Here we go again

These poor starts keep happening at home. Rarely away. It’s not a coincidence it’s over confidence and casualness in games we believe we should win easily

Inability to keep clean sheets at home will once again be the undoing.

Best away record in the league last year. Solid again in our first game this year but sloppy twice already in both home games

This annoying habit of gifting teams an early goal at home continues into this season and it has to stop.
Bournemouth and Southampton last Season and now Fulham today.
So *%^@*** annoying and has us unnecessarily chasing the game already.
Ramsdale should be saving that

Not saying the system is to blame but I can’t wait for us to get back to the back 4 of white/Saliba/Gabriel/Zinchenko

I am and it's as clear as crystal.......

Shame about the footbal

nearly 2-0

Not seen it but it seems to me that Arteta is *%^@*** up the back four for no reason

It is on a lot of isps, try Brave it cuts out all the adds too

I saw a replay of the Fulham goal and how the *%^@ doe that even happen. Its schoolboy stuff again.

So obviously the Fulham player only gets a talking to for time wasting when everyone else is getting yellows under the new directive. You just knew that that rule would not be forcefully enforced at the Emirates when teams waste time v us

Absolutely. This is nonsense.

Does feel that way tbh. I do think timber being available would have made this totally different.

We got a couple of warnings at palace before Tomiyasu s yellow

It's teeming down in Broxbourne, will we be lucky
During the game?

Rich, don't keep worrying about the refs, worry more about our defensive incompetence and inability to creat and take chances.

If we stopped gifting goals and turned possession into chances and goals then all the timewasting in the world wouldn't matter.

This is all to *%^@*** shoehorn Havertz into the team.
Should be the usual back 4
Partey 6 Rice 8.
*%^@*** annoying that Arteta is *%^@*** around.
Really want havertz to work but can't see why the whole team has been shifted to accommodate him.

Too much effing about with the team altogether.

I think we can ALL see the common denominator here from least season and carrying on into this.

Every time TG uses the word “stroll”
