There's times when Arsene comes out with stuff that reminds you why you love him :lol: Like this, his reponse when asked if Sp*rs' transfer activity put our top 4 place under threat "I hear that for 16 years now" :lol:

If they get Willian and Lamela, they'll be challenging for the title let alone fourth. it's why its so frustrating that we haven't spent yet, the top 5 is completely open and any one of the clubs could win the title (even us if we spent some fucking money)

Do they even NEED Lamela and Willian?

The whole Bale front has gone very quiet though.

Spuds cannot afford to have splashed 120m (if Willian and Lamela deals go through) without selling Bale, that simple.

Ugh sevilla rumoured saying our offer for the keeper is a lowball . Sigh panic buys again

Almost too quiet 8-[

I have a feeling the Willian and Lamela offers (more so Willian) are dependant on Bale leaving.

In saying that, a few players have said that we are looking to add another two faces the the squad. Above all else, we need a left back though.

Those deals only need to go through if Bale is sold.

Speaking of transfers that 'need' to go through... Who's arsenal's newest target? :p

Can see it now , we'll end up with another random striker before deadline :lol:

If you're into believing the Mail then Iker Casillas is our next target :lol:

:lol: who's next falcao :lol: messi ,

Casillas certainly not impossible as people might think. Not saying that it will happen (probably 1% chance), but world cup year, 2nd fiddle to another spanish keeper, Valdes in good form etc.

Wont happen though, but would definitely be that marquee signing our club has craved for years.

Before spuds fans/afro jump in, I have clearly stated many times it wont happen.

Under the old manager, yes. Not under Ancelotti though.

Was benched for their opening game.

:lol: So apparently our kit against Fener is going to be red shirt, red socks and blue shorts.

Don't Fener wear blue shorts?

Na, think it's predominantly white, which is why we are wearing our away shorts.

The mail, or pv4's predictions? :lol:

Not sure if I liked the navy shorts TBH. Can someone re-remind me why the navy is on the sleeve, again?

Could have nearly gotten away with the yellow/blue away kit, nearly.

What is their third kit - last seasons purple one?

The Navy shorts were only for this game because of Fener's white shorts. Yeah the purple kit is our 3rd one. Not sure why they didn't wear that today.

On the game, so good to come away with a comfortable win and make the 2nd leg that much easier at home. Standout for me was Rambo, man does the work of 3 or 4 players. In for a big season. Good to see Giroud score again and get a good start to the season unlike last year where he struggled to score for a bit. Only worry is Koscielny, hopefully he's not out for to long.

Apparently Benzema :roll:

Now this I didn't see coming. From David Ornstein (@bbcsport_david)



Only thing that makes it worth mentioning is the journo it comes from.

This is good to see

So Ox will be out for anywhere between 6-12 weeks and he doesn't need surgery which is good. Arsene also confirmed that the Luis Suarez transfer is dead, like we all thought and has said that a lot of activity will happen between now and September 2.

Fuck me if we got Benzema all the pain of this transfer window would be worth it.

The pain has gotten to me. I am nothing but pessimistic on any transfer gossip. Will get some panic buy randoms only :cry:

Yeah, just still didn't look right :lol:

You don't recall why the navy is on the sleeve by any chance (apart from that old joke about the netherlands flag for RVP)?

If we got Benzema and Di Maria + a CB and a GK it would make the pain of the last few years worth it imo.

I don't think it was for any particular reason :lol: so people came up with their own.
