Simon bristol

Arsenal have had a very good season but ive not really blown away by saka playing for england, to the point you would say hes a star man like kane or bellingham and who would be key to us actually winning anything. I wouldnt say that foden, grealish or rashford have been at that level yet either though they are all clearly talented, and after seeing palmer last night he should certainly be in with a shout.

Right,, so its not sanctimonious when you do it, ok.

While disagreeing with my post a few weeks ago you started your reply with “Simon, simon, simon”,,, But you want to pull someone up for being sanctimonious and it not portraying them in the best light?

It seems bird is much more of a james type player, so it would seem possible that he will be moved on…. It would seem likely that james is one of the higher earners too, and is obviously in his 30s now, its a big spot in the squad to fill, and bird has to be up to it, which they presumably think he is. ive never been a great fan of williams, not great technically, little goal threat, and is in there to provide the aggression. He obviously had a good month or 2 but is back on the bench now. Injuries have blighted him, and is probably a top earner too, i wouldnt be upset if he was moved on. presumably king is as good as gone.

Quite interesting, i had to check who his father in law is though, george burley, the old ipswich manager.

Hes a moron pal, just ignore him, makes the forum better.

Yes, i liked the keeper and morrison too. Great effort from the boys, they gave everything

This is awful luck, but they are putting so much heart into this, cone on hoys!!

Yeah plus souness after we beat liverpool

I think its the embarrassment of losing to us that finally finishes managers off

It was clear from the watford west ham and forest games, that he had us ticking over really well, there was a lot of positivity around in those cup games! He was let down with the striker situation in january, and had rotten luck with the twine injury, and also, hes had to deal with the aftermath of the pearson decision. Hes certainly made mistakes too, and hopefully theres some confidence around now that we can play out the season with a good run and give hope for the future. It was only last week that yet again he was being personally ridiculed for his communication style,, and its out of order,,, hes clearly a bright successful guy, having some meat head from weston giving him personal grief is embarrassing.

I dont see the problem with getting him in for what is essentially a trial for 4/5 months, if hes not up to it, weve had a good look anyway. Thats as long as we didnt blow the budget for a new striker by bringing mabude in, which hopefully wasnt the case, but who knows with the way we are run.

Have you tried those enchroma glasses? Not sure if they work in all cases?!

Agreed, id love to see us go unbeaten now, but having us play some good stuff and actually going for it in games is essential…

Agreed, but having the other 2 fit and in their correct positions just makes things better?! The 3 of them are a decent championship midfield combination

Twine in at number 10 with knight in midfield has to be making a difference

Yes, and not properly replacing brereton, which would be extremely difficult anyway. Would be fun to see a “new” club get relegated.

So hes in dublin having an ice cream at easter, is there any suggestion hes been seriously injured by our medical wizards and wont be expected to train for the next 3/4 months?

Has anyone verified this murphy injury? Last week it was james being left out cause it would trigger an extension that made everyone lose their shit?!

Had a look yesterday, hes got 3 league goals this season, plus another against oxford in the cup. Seeing as his whole game is about being a “bagsman” as he calls it, that isnt enough.

Weve been crap for decades, so weve earned the right to be fickle! im confident though that if twine had been fit we will have got more wins since he signed. The 2 games hes started when fit weve won both.

Agreed,, mckenna has done a rediculous job!

Agreed, there was clearly a need for a creative midfielder all along, and a lack of goals from the forwards. 14th place after selling scott and semenyo who were still here when we finished 14th last season shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

I get the feeling bell is happier to be here than conway is, and I suspect is less likely to run his contract down and try to get out.

You must be so proud
