Saka is back and ready to go, maybe, just maybe cometh the man cometh the champions league semi final and beyond ?????.

The local police have put out an appeal to the local community asking if everyone could please not commit a crime between 8pm and 11pm this evening.
Someone has replied saying
It's a deal and could you lot refraine nicking anyone from 6am to 6pm tomorrow.
Love it 🖒😊😆😆.

Apparently there is a new bidder for taking over at Arsenal and she is able to offer The Kronkee's something money can't buy in oder to take control of the club.
The lady in question is probably the most famous Arsenal fan on earth and is prepared to offer Stan her extensive and prestigious London home in exchange for full control of Arsenal.
Not only is she a life long gooner also her grandson is too, and it's her grandson she wishes to run the club as he has suddenly found himself at a lose end and she feels running Arsenal will be a positive way of keeping him occupied plus she hopes it might encourage him and his family to return to the UK to live and unite the family which has been going through a bit of a difficult period lately.
No this rumour is not from the usual tabloid media and I didn't read it on twitter or Facebook, it was written in my tealeafs this morning and compared to most media outlets the teanleafs have a pretty good success rate.
Oh and if the deal goes ahead Stan is going to demolish Buck house and build a Walmart.

Apparently City are surprised by the talk of us announcing Artetta as our manager when we haven't even spoken to them and agreed compensation.
Whatever has happened at Arsenal we used to be so prim and proper in how we conducted our business.
1.) 19 Dec 2019 11:17:19
This could be because the way they poached our players in the past. Pay back I guess.
2.) 19 Dec 2019 12:48:18
I doubt it but if so how old is josh 5?
City have well moved on from the Mark Hughes buy Arsenal days and have no interest in any of our players now days.
I'd incompetence was the more likely explanation than pay back.

I'm not sure if Emery can't or won't change his ways but either way it's plainly obvious his ways his methods his tactics just aren't working at premier league level.
What would be the point in continuing with Emery few more games or weeks! What is going to suddenly start working that hasn't worked upto this point in time?
9 points over 26 games isn't impossible to make up but neither will it be a formality for a new manager either.
There are absolutely no guarantees that if we change managers things will suddenly come good but there is a genuine possibility they might under a different manager that simply doesn't exist under Emery.
We have a squad that has the quality in abundance we just need someone who can organise and motivate them into a cohesive team that functions to its full potential.
There is no logical reason to carry on with Emery, I've read people saying the club don't want to pay his compensation money and would rather let him see out his contact to save what a £3 millions pay off?
But that's just people being negative towards the board because I'm sure Josh and Co are more than capable of working out the financial loss of champions league football money v £3 million in compensation without the need to consult the world's greatest mathematic brains first.
1.) 10 Nov 2019 13:24:20
As usual, nothing to disagree with from G62. I have little faith in the board to act decisively. They have a history of dithering and fiddling while the team burns on the pitch. As you said elsewhere, the only language they understand is empty terracing. I would rather listen to us lose on the radio, than freeze my arse off sitting at the Emirates.
I would love to be wrong, but those hoping for a sacking on Monday. I wouldn't hold my breath.
2.) 10 Nov 2019 15:08:24
Hi Urban mate I think you've got it bang on, vote with you bum if your not happy and spend your time doing something that does make you happy until the club team and manager give you reason to feel they are your best way of spending your time and money again.
3.) 10 Nov 2019 19:24:06
I just don’t know how emery is making Managing Arsenal look like a difficult job? This season I honestly couldn’t tell you what system we’re playing. Yes Wenger was dated, but you knew what you was getting. A team trying to play possession football until an opening presented itself. Against Leicester, we couldn’t even string 5 passes together. No one knew where each other are, we got strikers playing like wingers, playing so deep against a team that plays with 1 striker. Emery isn’t connected to his players and he’s not connected to the fans. Sack this tactical fraud, leave Freddie in charge til we can get a manager with a clear vision.
4.) 10 Nov 2019 19:43:08
It's true ice mate we have no identity no structure no Arsenal way of playing that the players can get they're heads around and become comfortable with and most importantly good at.
Every game a different starting 11 a different game plan a different formation what chance do our players have? And of course they are only human so are naturally becoming deflated and losing interest and motivation to simply indulge yet more nonsense.
5.) 11 Nov 2019 09:58:15
Icy, you are so right. It was embarrassing watching us play what amounted to a back five against a side with a lone striker. And Gunner, spot on about identity, we don't have one at all. We even had one under Graham, albeit based on grinding opponents down and a very flat back four with their hands up every five minutes. I watched Liverpool yesterday afternoon, and even with some (one) lucky breaks, they looked every bit the finished article where we look pedestrian. The worst of it is, our front three/ four are the measure of anything Liverpool have got. But the rest is disorganised, poorly deployed, and yes, lacking any kind of identity.
The papers (I know) are this morning reporting the boards confidence in Emery. If true, I'm not surprised. Of course, we don't want a trigger happy board, but one season, and a third of this one, is enough to know. It could be a long frustrating season.
6.) 11 Nov 2019 10:25:20
In a game that’s about numbers and statistics, I’d be curious to know which one Emery is impressing in, that’s keeping him in that seat.
Ed any inside news on what’s happening? I just can’t accept the board are content with him because under him, Speaking statistically, we won’t challenge top 4 and we don’t want to bank winning Europe when we can’t hold a clean sheet.
{Ed002's Note - It was a mistake brining him in and as I said he was far from first choice. The club has gambled financially on getting in to the top four come the end of the season, and that remains the primary target. It is difficult to see anything happening before the summer when I suspect there might well be a change.}
7.) 11 Nov 2019 10:54:47
The papers are all quoting Ormstein Urban mate so it's a highly credible that is the boards position.
I'm pinning my hopes on the board using Ormstein as a deflection tactic and going to surprise us all as they did when they let the papers run with the "we only had 40 million to spend" story all last summer then bosh! broke our transfer record :-) I know it's not a theory you'd want to put your house on being correct is it :-) ?
Like you said yesterday mate vote with your bum and if your not happy with what's being offered simply don't accept it and find a more enjoyable way of spending your time and money, 20,000 empty seats is an extremely difficult fans message to ignore for long.
8.) 12 Nov 2019 06:49:18
I'm with you 62 fingers crossed 🤞.

Fantastic result and performance last night, 5 points clear at the top of the Premier league, top of the champions league table and still in both domestic cup competitions. Not bad going by anyone's standards and given the number of injuries we have had in the first half the season I think we've done and a are doing absolutely brilliant to be where we are right now.
We've had to play without virtually every one of our outfield players at times this this season but because of our squad strength we've come through those times and are still leading the way on all fronts, the positives far far out weight the negative and long may it continue.
Happy New year to all the Eds and poster's alike ?.
1.) 31 Dec 2025 11:46:44
Morning 84 an excellent result last night and a second half to be proud of. I`m hoping MA/players have learned as we had poorish second performances v Brighton Palace Wolves and Chelsea. We are gearing up to a good 90 mins. Considering Dec and Calafiori not ready the bench was outstandingly strong. Expecting this to tell over latter part of season.
Zubimendi fast becoming my favourite player along with Fury. Exciting times and for City Sunderland at home are no push overs No alcohol please Black Cats! Happy New Year to all posters and all Eds and Happy Hogmany to Sy and Sharpie COYG
PS Regarding Odegaard he`s excellent and remember form is temporary and class is permanent.
2.) 31 Dec 2025 12:52:06
Hi Berkshire, I think most people would accept we haven't seen the best of this Arsenal team/squad yet and at times we have played well within our capabilites but yet we are still leaders of the pack at home and abroad.
We would all like to see the team firing on all cylinders as we did last night and again Bayern in every game, whether that is humanly possible even when we are at full strength remains to be seen but personally I'm very satisfied with the position we are currently in and very excited about what the second half of season might have in store for us.
{Ed025's Note - when Arteta takes the brakes off you look a really good side G62, it has to happen a bit more for me though mate especially against the lesser teams, its just so frustrating at times because you certainly have the players to do that..
3.) 31 Dec 2025 16:38:01
Hi Ed025 the way Arteta set us up against Liverpool was particularly upsetting but in the main i think its our player's not creating enough quality chances or taking enough of the chances that are created that causes the frustration.
A little more composure in front of goal and a few more quick passes that cut open defences wouldn't go a miss and i'm my opinion that is a player problem once on the pitch rather than a manager problem who in all honesty often looks every bit as frustrated as the rest of us.
Happy New year Ed025 mate ?.
{Ed025's Note - yeah you too G62, i would love the gunners to win it mate but i want to see them do it in style, take the handbrake off and demolish teams like in the second half against Villa and shut up the nay-sayers who think its a house of cards and all based on set pieces, you have the players to do that mate..
23 Dec 2025 22:43:07
So many quality players yet so few quality moments in so many games.
Ive no idea why this should be the case, we rely on corners to score goals more than any other team in the league and because of our lack goals from open play we end up relying on our excellent defence to be competitive.
Just an observation of the way things are so often, and I haven't got a clue why given the abundance of quality running through the squad.
1.) 24 Dec 2025 00:14:02
It's the finishing G62, we just aren't clinical at all. Today I thought the game plan was spot on over the first half, but when it came to putting our chances away everything has been tamely side footed at the keeper.
I've also noticed players failing to spot good runs lately, Timber or Gyökeres will be through and nobody spots them.
2.) 24 Dec 2025 00:26:24
Qe had an excuse that teams were parking the bus and its sometimes hard to break them down, put we've been getting pressed and when we get the ball we look like we've got nothing in our locker. Keeping the ball for way too long and passing bloddy backwards all the time when you have players make great runs.
Its like they are scared to play that pass and they op to just keep the ball roling.
Tonight only martinelle came to play and I hope he's not injured.
3.) 24 Dec 2025 08:21:04
Hi Wire and Moe, to me it seems Arteta is as frustrated and mystified as the rest of us as to why we struggle to score from open play.
Obviously it's Arteta problem to solve but I genuinely don't believe its anything he's
doing that's causing such a talented team to stugle so badly to create and convert quality chances. We are in a brilliant position and absolutely everything is still possible for us this season but bugger we do seem to be making every game difficult for ourselves.
{Ed025's Note - all a bit too tippy tappy for me G62, you have so much more in your locker but it seems its all about not losing rather than winning and possession based football, its not just Arsenal though mate most of the teams have become quite boring to watch and there seems more of an emphasis on set pieces and long throws which is taking us back to Wimbledon based football imo, i probably sound like an old codger but there is a definite lack of characters in the game now and its more about athletes, unfortunately i dont think we will be seeing teams like the invincibles any time soon my friend...all the best..
4.) 24 Dec 2025 08:59:12
Agree G62, there is only so much the manager can do when it comes to the tactics. My feeling is that the players are worried about not winning the league and are letting it give them the yips.
5.) 24 Dec 2025 13:17:25
Hi Ed025 mate, there are possibly many reasons why football has become more sterile and loss adverse. Managers get sacked far more quickly and easily now days and things like drinking after games, eating mars bars, burgers and the like are absolutely throwned upon where as back in the day footballers were everyday people who just happened to have a brilliant job.
Its all become a little too scientific and a lot less natural in my opinion mate.
{Ed025's Note - im with you there mate..
6.) 24 Dec 2025 13:20:30
I totaly agree that the pressure to not lose the title is playing on the players minds Wire mate, Arteta doesn't seem to be passing on his own pressure to the players it seems to be something they have collective taken on as a group.
20 Dec 2025 22:22:32
Much happier with a hard won 1 goal victory away to Everton than last week's very fortunate 1 goal victory at home to 2pts all season Wolves. ????.
1.) 20 Dec 2025 23:08:11
Absolutely 62.tricky game but got the 3 points through hard graft…but got to say (as lucky as it was) scoring that last kick of the game winner is heart attack material emotionally it’s the best way to win (even if on paper should be an easy win)
Back on top ❤️? let’s go!
2.) 21 Dec 2025 10:55:37
Why do we have to make such hard work of everything?
3.) 21 Dec 2025 13:20:12
Hi Jeg mate. Ultimately all the history books for the 25/26 season will show is our games against both Wolves and Everton resulted in us gaining 6 out 6pts, and we all know its the points that make prizes possible ????.
13 Dec 2025 22:25:02
The manager has let the players down twice this season against Liverpool and City by setting them up to negatively and tonight the players let the manager down with that performance.
Let's hope that paticular sequence ends here tonight in a 2 1 defeat for Arteta. That was awful but the result makes it quickly forgivable.
1.) 13 Dec 2025 22:52:39
I thought we won 62!
{Ed025's Note - i think G62 has been at the sauce Sally..
2.) 13 Dec 2025 22:56:26
Hi g62,hope all is well,100% agree. very very poor performance. think it was one of those overly confident of the result before kick off due to opposition (wolves) . I remember years ago watching us lining up in the tunnel v hull city. (Phil brown) was their manager at the time. our players were F-ing about laughing and joking, adebayor was doing some stupid little dance. thinking they had won the game before a ball was even kicked… the hull players were fully focused each and everyone of them, I said to my pal at the time were getting turned over by this lot.
he said they ain’t nowhere near good enough to bet us at the emirates. 90 minutes later they did just that, mugged us for all 3 points. and the moral to that story is never underestimate anybody…because you could always end up with egg on your face. tonight we were lucky, we fell in shyte and came up smelling of roses. as we all know the premier league is unforgiving. maximum effort and maximum desire are the first two musts to even think about heading in to each game…. Lucky ARSENAL tonight…2-1✔️ job done (just about) . still ?? one game at a time…COYG/VTH?⚪️❤️.
3.) 13 Dec 2025 23:18:46
It looks like we have bought a dud at number 9!
4.) 14 Dec 2025 08:47:33
G62 was talking in terms of manager and the team letting each other down, Arteta did it twice to the team and the team once with this poor performance.
In terms of performance, our levels have dropped in the last few weeks, whether that is due to the amount of high pressure games coming thick and fast or the injuries or just the overall pressure, we need to find a way out and get back to the consistency we need.
Defensively, we are conceding in ways that we shouldn’t. We should also strive to get all players back to fitness and ensure that they stay fit for the rest of the season. By the time we play city away, we should have a 5 points cushion or it may get very difficult, I hope palace gets points off city today.
5.) 14 Dec 2025 09:16:25
Hi Highbury yes that's exactly what I was trying to say mate, but I obviously didn't put it across very well, thanks for explaining it in a better way for me mate, much appreciated ?.
Overall I think both the team and manager are both having an excellent season even though i still don't think we've found top gear yet which is probably down to the injuries we've had all season.
We got mega lucky to get 3 points last night in a game which should have been the least difficult of the season for us so far. Having to rely on two own goals to get us anything from a game against a side that is buttom of the league and without a win all season tells its own story.
It was simply a very bad day at the office and will hopefully act as a huge wake up call to everyone that we will have to earn anything we get from every team we play this season and just how easily all the all the hard work put in by everyone can end up meaning nothing.
6.) 14 Dec 2025 09:55:14
Hi Gabi mate, it was extremely difficult to see anything but a very conformable Arsenal win before last night's game Wolves fans feared the worst Arsenal and neutral fans alike hoped for a goal fest. I always try not to take any game for granted but despite my best efforts i couldn't see anything but a routine 3pts before the game given it was a top v bottom game against a team that is o n course to record the lowest points total ever inthe Premier league .
It was a very poor night from us mate but very very luckily we got away with it by the skin of our teeth and hopefully more good than harm will come from it in the long run.
06 Dec 2025 14:31:35
Oh well it would have been nice to go the rest of the season unbeaten but that was always unlikely to happen in real life.
Onwards and upwards its the only way. Up the Arsenal ????.
1.) 06 Dec 2025 14:28:37
First lost since the end of August, John mate
2 first cbs out against the inform team. Hard lost to take but we are still top no matter what happens today. Hopefully our bad luck with injuries will change soon.
Take care John mate.
2.) 06 Dec 2025 14:53:51
Hi Bill mate hope you and yours are well.
When George Grahams Arsenal were beaten by Chelsea bringing a long undefeated run to an end a reporter asked George ' what now" George replied quite simply "we go on another undefeated run ".
What's gone is gone and all the analysing in the world won't change the past ultimately its what you do next that matters most mate.
Up The Arsenal ????.
11 Jun 2025 20:40:25
I don't really know anything about Sesko mate but his goals per game record doesn't look all that, but if he joins us hopefully with good service that will improve dramatically ?.
11 Jun 2025 18:45:15
Well said Cumbria mate ?.
31 May 2025 16:32:31
We have to hope so mate, I don't genuinely knowledge but if I had put a months money on it one way or the other I'd have no hesitation in backing both to sign new deals and stay with us.
28 May 2025 19:26:47
BBC main page reporting it Mark mate, usually means it's happening as they normally deal in news on the main page and keep the rumours separate in their gossip round up.
28 May 2025 19:22:04
Billions? Just shows the lack of ambition from the owners. If they really cared about winning they'd spend Trillions at least ?????.
01 Jan 2026 16:39:25
Very good post Bill mate, some times pausing ti appreciate what we have that other clubs don't have puts everything into perspective ?
Happy New Year mate and all the best for you and yours in 2026 geeza ❤️.

Absolutely Bill mate, sharing view's and discussing things is what the site is all about.
Sometimes we all have things we want to get off our chest and other times we just want to share our happiness with those who feel the same way as ourselves
We can all only go with how we see things and how we feeling about things at any given time.
Take care Bill mate ?.
27 Dec 2025 19:17:04
Hi Bill with a quick glance from just the right angle everything looks good mate, so I think I'll stay exactly where I am for now until either the view here dulls or its safe change my viewing position ????.
