Kinda what I thought. Until I saw people picking up the ball and running with it.

I wonder which will happen first. Arsenal signing Ben White or Xhaka signing a contract extension.

Ben white confirmed. Wears number 4

.no way Xhaka signs a new contract btw, he hadn’t even returned back from his holiday when he should have. Model professional my arse.

Arsenal now reporting Ben White. That didn’t take long did it.

The Xhaka reports starting up. I suspect that it’s part of our negotiating stance with Roma.

Everything I’m reading is suggesting that it’s the Swiss national team.

if Xhaka wants to throw a paddy and stay in Portugal in a strop then the club should dock his wages and not be bullied. Good balls arsenal

Like other Euro players, wasn’t he given an extended holiday because of the Euros? That’s what I saw. The one thing he always strikes me as is a good professional.

Nice to see White finally confirmed officially. I hope the fee doesn't become an anchor for him.

There will be people againest him on here regardless because of his fee, nationality and the manager who signed him.

Well, if Xhaka stays there will be people against him no matter how he performs, but hopefully it will be a small minority in both cases.

Let me save you some time.

Who here will be against him because of his nationality? I’ve not noticed any posters who are anti-Arsenal’s English players.

What do you mean revolting English people ?

Are there any English people you don’t consider revolting? The question remains. Who here has ever criticised an Arsenal player because he’s English? Just wondering because I can’t think of anyone.

Hint, it wasn’t me who called them revolting on here in the first place.
I won’t name names and cause more rows. Conversation closed. Bye Bernard

Bernard, I'm hoping you'll see this post within 10-12 hours; otherwise, it'll be rendered meaningless. Fingers crossed.

Well it was only three hundred words (301 to be exact) and there have been countless longer posts here by many people. Perhaps you were reading it in the middle of the night?

Bernard, you mightn't have heard. Since Rog optimised the PHP tables on Wednesday, everything posted on the forum expires after 24 hours. It is then considered an 'old post' and forum members are forbidden from engaging with its contents.

Sorry you seem to be comparing Dennis Bergkamp to Martin Ødegaard. To quote Mr Spock I find that highly illogical.

To indulge the silly comparison however I’ll suggest Bergkamp was the master of consistency and in some games it simply won’t work out. The same observation some have made about Henry that he didn’t score enough in cup finals however to compare certain players performances in our hardest matches to Ødegaard not turning up in half his games isn’t the same thing.

How dare you compare Henry and Bergkamp!?! ! Tssk!

What happens if you accidentally read or reply to a post that is past its sell by date? Botulism?

A failed attempt at humour ! Congratulations

I'm not confirming till ltg says so.
joking :)

Hoping we'll see Xhaka out the door. Nothing against him but we should be doing better.

You have my permission now.
