Final delivery lacking
It’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me, oozzzziiiiilllll
I won’t talk about theeeee!
Yes people, I have been finished by that story. That said, big shout out to the folk that kept me educated and smart on a very interesting issue. Nothing keeps you sharper in life than listening to intelligent folk who can guide your views and reframe your opinions. I will always borrow your wisdom and reframe it as my own.
I like that even though Emery has a poor grasp of English, he deflects questions like a pro.
on what the DFB should do now…
It is a personal decision from Mesut and I respect it.
on whether it is worrying what Mesut said in his statement…
He thinks what is best for him, he explained his decision and here we need to help him.
on whether Mesut is mentally prepared…
He has experience, he has quality and he has a great mentality and we are going to help him feel good and to show his quality with us. I am sure he is going to have a big season with us.
on Uli Hoeness’ comments…
I respect everybody and their opinions, but we are professionals and we need to understand everyone but work for us and to be together. We know the football [world] around us is about opinion and critique, we have a mentality and quality to work away from this opinion.
Some tasty going’s on today. Malcolm, a player we apparently targeted in January, was announced as a signing by Roma… only for that deal to get cancelled, with Barcelona weighing in for his signature. What a bitch, that’s exactly how I felt when we lost out on Cahill because we reneged on the price, only for Chelsea to nip in and make him theirs. Remember all the Arsenal hipsters (who thought Denilson was as good as Alonso) cheering the loss because Gary was shite? I do.
Anyway, do you think Sven would have signed Malcolm if he used to play for Dortmund?
Yeah, I went there…
Anyway, the upshot is we’re apparently sniffing around Dembele on loan. Kike Marin, Spanish goss hero, asked if that were the next move for Barca. It’d be weird, Dembele is way better than Malcolm, but whatever… just give me that silky Frenchman because we need him at The Arsenal.
Thierry Henry is Aston Villa manager.
Hold the faaacking phone..
He saw what Remy G did after a solid stint at Lyon, and thought the best next move was Villa. Is he fucking mad?
Good luck to him, fair play, but honestly fam… I find this one an odd decision.
Ivan G, slathered in factor 75, told a Singapore audience Ozil was a top bloke, Germany were shite, and he was catching the evening flight to Milan to meet the gang for a chat about January transfer targets. No news on Ivan, except the real narrative of his Churchillian leaked story is he purposefully leaked that he was available to talk about things, just not his future.
Not cool imo.
Something else that I found NOT cool was Arsenal releasing a press release about the CEO that read like the PR team had to muddle together some words after an 8 hour bender at a Carl Cox Space reunion party.
“We are aware of the speculation surrounding our chief executive Ivan Gazidis. We know he receives many offers from organisations inside and outside the game as he’s a hugely respected figure. He has never accepted any of these opportunities and has never spoken about them publicly. He has always been fully committed to taking Arsenal forward and is currently working hard in Singapore with our new head coach Unai Emery as we prepare for the new season.”
What a mess that report is. It reeks of Jaeger Bombs and Sunday morning regret.
‘Yeah, we don’t have a clue either’
Nice one, Sir Chips.
Usmanov is getting bored of owning a piece of Arsenal that has about as much power as that piece of chewing gum you stuck under that seat in block 11 circa 2009. Good news is African sugar king, Dangote, wants a piece of that shit.
“We will go after Arsenal from 2020 … even if somebody buys, we will still go after it,”
Good work mate, you have about as much chance of a takeover as I do using my two crates of bulk buy Pringles as leverage.
Today, we see Atletico play Arsenal. Could someone leave my Dad the channel the match is on below, he thinks there’s a conspiracy against English fans because he can’t find the channel.
Big JEFF the footballing kid we all loved because he had a cool name is apparently off to Angers. NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH A KID is my new motto in life. It works on multiple levels to protect me if I’m honest.
Things to look out for today:
- Are our new signings slow?
- Has Emery got a system that allows both Auba and Laca to play?
- DOES RAMSEY LOOK HAPPY?
- How many formations will we test?
- WILL WE FALL IN LOVE WITH NEW ELITE KID EMILE SMITH ROWE?
- Is Emery emotional fiery guy from Sevilla, or the classy reserved guy PSG forced him to be on the sidelines?
IT BEGINS.

I should also point out that it’s only libellous if it’s not to be true.
marc
you have to wait for the right moment mate. usually happens when everyone is just angry with everyone.. lol.. when you read the comments that took place the might before, it’s always hilarious. nothing to do with football ..
Uh oh, Pierre is Very Angry.
gonsterous
Some people on here really need the season to start to give them something to do.
Lol. V Angry is new to le grove. Pedro doesnt have time for le grove comments sanity. Only after how many comments we end up making these days. Woud have binned Gambon weeks ago
Is little p as dim as all the so called “dimmers” on here ?
Dimmest I would say.
I wonder when Mrs.P dropped the bombshell
Pierre father in law must be called Aaron.
“Pierre father in law must be called Aaron.”
I’m suing you for stealing my joke.
What the fuck have I done wrong?
It was Pierre that started talking about abuse….not me.
I’ve seen Frankie Boyle say worse on the BBC.
Marc
Don’t bring yourself down to the gutter with the others
V angry is not me… he or she is probably someone who has an understanding of how child abuse is the most disgusting act you can think of and the effect it can have on the victim.
Sadly the people on here are showing their ignorance by defending gambon again as that is the 2nd time he has made that comment.
frankie boyle is a saint compared to gambon. 🙂
Shitty comment by Gambon re. Pierre but totally agree with suggestion of a £10m loan for Dembele. Win/ win….top4 would look odds on and commercial/ revenues boost for next Summer’s transfer window.
You have to give Pierre credit
He switches logins quicker than he defends any Xhaka criticism.
I’ve thought long and hard about this….and I feel I should apologise for my earlier comment.

£80m for Dembele IS too much. Dissenter is right.
Pierre, is your wife’s plight the reason why you spend your time trolling a blog at your age?
Little p,
Shows how dim you are for giving up such sensitive information. I mean why the fuck would you share that with strangers on a football blog ?
Pierre
I pretty much keep to my own moral compass on here, not interested in being judged by other people.
gambon
If you weren’t going already you’re definitely going to hell now.
I’ve booked a suite.
Everyone get off pierres back. anyone can share anything here. for instance, my bank card pin is 789786
gonsterous
And the last 3 digits from the back of your credit card?
404 I wager
If you weren’t going already you’re definitely going to hell now.

Marc
Gambon has a sky scrapper with a helipad in hell already.
Gambon
What do you think of Crypto currencies?
Ufraud
What I comment on is my business.
People at the time were belittling abuse and depression.. No one knows me so It’s immaterial but I can guarantee you that I am a bigger and better person for showing compassion towards anyone who has suffered in this way instead of some of you who think it can be a subject for ridicule and humour… It’s not.
Azed Not convinced there’s enough money to be made in the future as I think it will become government regulated. No doubt most people have missed the boat. A friend told me to buy Bitcoin a long long time ago, and I declined. If I had invested £1000 (which I would say is a standard initial investment) I could have sold at £4m late last year. The tech behind XRP and Eth is interesting and I hear UBS are looking into settlements via blockchain in the future. I think Blockchain is much more interesting than the currencies. Lot of money… Read more »
marc
nice of you to assume I own a credit card. it’s all about the debit card for me, cause things are going real good…
Little p,
And what gambon comments on is his business no ?
Stop playing the wilted flower, you give as good as you get.
“I can guarantee you that I am a bigger and better person for showing compassion towards anyone who has suffered in this way instead of some of you who think it can be a subject for ridicule and humour”
Liar
What about the hundreds of fans that suffered various kinds of mental trauma due to a certain Frenchman? Le grovellers as you call them
bitcoin was good. just a lot of scammers. I invested 100 francs a while back, turned it to 2000 francs in the blockchain and then I took a friends advice and invested it all on a cypto program. guess what ? 2 months later they start showing problems and then the whole site gets shut down along with my money. I had about 5 francs left in the blockchain when that happened and it went up to 50 francs but now it’s dropped to 20 francs. so I guess it was all to do with my luck. I didn’t tell… Read more »
Rambo Ramsey are you stupid or are you stupid?
gonsterous, yea I think the scamming took the beauty out of it. I couldn’t tell which was which as I saw people losing money left right centre. Till know I don’t know a single person that’s made it via that avenue…
“The tech behind XRP and Eth is interesting and I hear UBS are looking into settlements via blockchain in the future.”
I have a friend who’s also building a settlement for Nigerian banks with blockchain.
I don’t think its easy for government to regulate crypto currencies because any one can created one.
That said, I should created one and name if after Wenger. Lots of AKB’s would buy even though it would as useful as Sanago.
So our ‘mystery poster’ has taken screenshots of gambon’s post, and if Pedro doesn’t remove said post and ban gambon, the ‘mystery poster’ will do what, call the police?! Sue for defamation?
Amazing ignorance. Precisely who has gambon defamed? Mr Pierre Le-grove of Internet?
Clown show. Everyone on the internet has a Law degree..
Guys, Pierre is completely within his rights to finger his wife.
“Rambo Ramsey are you stupid or are you stupid?”
Clearly got a lot of falling down to join at the level you’re at.
“Clearly got a lot of falling down to join at the level you’re at.”
What has falling down got to do with answering a clear question? You need evaluation
People at the time were belittling abuse and depression.
I seem to remember it was you Pierre you shameless little shitebag who made up a narrative that Ozil was suffering from depression hence the poor form. You are something alright.
Also not condoning nothing but to be fair all gambon said was didn’t Pierre admit that…so not really slanderous but merely asking a question. A simple yes or no or go fuck yourself would have sufficed
I wonder if V ANGRY knows about Ozil’s big chances created stats
I think that Barcelona would be prepared to sell Dembele this summer, because sitting on such an expensive player who is unlikely to get much game time is highly unlikely. The market for his services are likely to be limited. They will not sell him to Real Madrid and Paris St Germain are committed to paying a huge transfer fee for Mbappe. Also I doubt that Juventus or Liverpool would be in the market, because they have already spent large sums this summer. So the only other clubs who could be in the market and able to afford him are… Read more »
“You need evaluation”
What kind?
Quality- The finest
Price-Not for sale
Barcelona will not sell him after one season. Best we can hope for is a loan
I wonder if V ANGRY knows about Ozil’s big chances created stats
Haha Marko not given that one up.
Pierre’s Wife’s abuser (Father) was himself probably abused as a child.
…..by someone called Aaron.
Very insightful, R-Truth.
Plot thickens
Y’all should let Pierre be.
Why is UPb so angry?
Dude its a Friday, go out and have fun. Its good for you.
Someone shared too much about a serious personal issue but yet you feel the need to jump on it.
When did I jump on it. I merely pointing out gambon asked a question not made a slanderous statement. Is that me making a slanderous statement? I don’t think so. I’ve never jumped on anything about sexual abuse or the like you’re just too stupid to understand that aubergine.
Also you asked yourself a question dumbshit
Pitbull to Pierre’s rescue right on cue in his tights, mask and flowing cape.
You all keep forgetting that Abidal and senior figures in the Barcelona set up keep saying Dembele is not for sale. I don’t think his position is in trouble even.
Messi
SuareZ
Coutinho
Dembele
Malcolm.
If they go 4-3-3 Dembele will start over Malcolm who will make do with bench role initially. Coutinho will slot into a midfield role.
Who says having a bit of competition is bad?
It’s still a question you thick cunt and not a slanderous statement.
Exactly… and gambon said didn’t Pierre admit that…a question. He in fact made no statement but asked a question. I merely pointed that out not jumped on it as you said. Do you see the difference no dummy? You comprehend yes?
Sporting demanding at least €60m from Atletico for signing Martin Gelson. Can see why we avoided him like a plague.At this point clubs won’t be quick to buy the other players that quit the club
You can’t even see through the fact I’m ripping the shit out of you using your own bullshit defence of gambon dressing it up as a question.
You aren’t ripping the shit out of nothing fuckstick you’re too thick
Mystic
I agree that a litigation from the vendor was always inevitable. In this case Sporting.
What I don’t understand is that if FIFA need to ratify transfers using that transfer system of theirs, why didn’t they void the transfer.
I mean, surely Sporting would’ve objected during the transfer process?
Wow, what the hell happened to le grove?
Here I am sitting on the terrace at 1 O’ clock, waiting for that bloody moon to show up. I ain’t seeing nothing, not even a single star. Biggest blood moon of the century and it is cloudy as fuck. What a fucking scam.
lol Akilan
People want dembele and it is understandable. But no one is talking about the availability of Bonucci. He could be available for 35-40m.
An official source (His agent or some juve official) said that he wants a return to juve. ATM, it doesn’t look like happening. Sell Mustafi for 20-25m and sign Bonucci.
31 years old yes but he is just too much quality to ignore. Also he’s earning 7.5m a year, which could be problematic but you’ve gotta pay for quality and he’s as good as they come.
Emery’s definitely working on at least one deal he’s said one or maybe more. He wants it now it’s up to Sven and Raul
Think Bonucci would be a terrible signing.
I think the next 3-4 signings need to be younger, very high potential players. For CB I would say that means 25 and below.
I think the budget has been spent, and now we’re waiting for CL football before taking the next step and bringing a higher calibre of player in.
I think Emery was talking about one more player in theory rather than a specific player.
As in – if one player that is good becomes available we may buy.
Rather than – there is one specific player I want.
Re Dembele, I don’t think he’s moving as many here are suggesting, but it looks like he’s friends with half if our squad. Apart from Auba and the rest of the Dortmund connection, he’s also friends with Laca (understandable). What is intriguing is he follows Arsenal account or at least replies to it, he also follows fucking Iwobi and recently interacted with him. He also interacted with a Guendouzi account(not sure if it is his official account though). It is widely reported that he doesn’t have a lot of friends in the barca camp and does not get along with… Read more »
Dembele is gettable if Arsenal is proactive.
Why the fuck are we paying Raul big money if he can’t convince his old pals at Barca to at least loan us Dembele for two years.
10M for two year loan with the option to buy and we give them first dibs on Bellerin.
This are the kind of deals made in hotel bars on a Friday night.
Can someone tell Raul to get to work?
Gambon,
I know we will not sign a defender as long as we don’t sell Mustafi, which seems to be the case.
On hindsight, it looks like we made a mistake signing sokratis. We could’ve got Bonucci for twice the money we spent on Sokratis. I would’ve sold Holding and signed Bonucci.
azed,
May be we actually did try for the loan deal and barca simply refused. It looks like the barca board believes in Dembele but its their manager who has fallen out with him.
Even by all accounts he did OK for them considering he was out for 6 months. Even if they want to sell him, they won’t even get their money back and then he could go on to become a monster somewhere else.
Probably late to the party but Pavard to Bayern. Nice tidy player.
As in – if one player that is good becomes available we may buy.Rather than – there is one specific player I want.
I’d say specific area. I did hear something recently about they’re willing to forget the whole budget stuff if Emery wanted another signing.
Pavard is a brilliant signing. Excellent at RB and great potential for CB. Lad is mustard
I agree specific area. Surely it’s a wide attacker just because we have enough in every other position. I mean I don’t think we are looking at a specific player…more that we will act if someone’s becomes available. I still think that in 12 months we will be looking to upgrade Mustafi, Kolasinac and Xhaka for better players in the same positions. The mess we were left in was never going to be dealt with in one year. I’m a bit underwhelmed with this summer’s signings but at least we now have a squad that’s big enough in all areas.… Read more »
“On hindsight, it looks like we made a mistake signing sokratis”
The guy’s played less than 90 minutes over two friendlies and you have hindsight on signing him, What are you fucking psychic?
I mean I don’t think we are looking at a specific player…more that we will act if someone’s becomes available.
Agree it’s why I’m not getting my hopes up for Dembele. Pretty sure there’s probably a list and he’s on it. My guess is that we’ll probably hear something tangible late in the week probably Thursday or Friday if anything is going to happen
gambon
I think this summers been about square pegs for square holes and steading the ship. You’re 100% right re next summer being where we begin to put top quality into positions. It does also explain why Xhaka and others have been put on new contracts – makes sure there’s some resale value rather than the down to 1 year shit.
“May be we actually did try for the loan deal and barca simply refused”
Raul should know the right buttons to press.
Marko
It might also end up with some brinkmanship and run close to the window closing.
Azed
Take it up a notch
Loan for a season then give them Bellerin an 15m next summer
azed
There might not be any buttons to press – knowing when to stand back and let it run is sometimes better than stabbing about wildly in the dark and pissing people off.
AMN is a handy little player and IMO, he’s already made it in our club as a FB. If you go by natural talent alone, he’s the best FB at the club. Pace, strength, dribbling, tackling, passing, combining, crossing, recovery he’s got it all. If he can mature and apply it into his actual game, he can become our own Kimmich. Not that good but good nonetheless. The question is can he become a CM. Apart from the united game, he looked like a headless chicken at the midfield and looked exactly like a winger playing in the midfield. I… Read more »
How can people be saying that sok is a dodgy signing…
Let’s judge in time,
His experience will help al, the defence..
ESP chambers, holding, Bellerin, plus the youth guy obi . .
Never judge pre season
All about psychical levels…
Marc
“The guy’s played less than 90 minutes over two friendlies and you have hindsight on signing him, What are you fucking psychic?”
It took 19 years 3 months and 6 days before you realised Wenger was a busted flush.
Akilan
Your judging AMN on midfield appearances under Wenger with little to no direction.
I think we probably looking for a younger/cheaper AM.
Sven is good at this.
Bailey was £12m to Leverkusen. Lozano was £10m or so, Malcom £5m. Makes sense to find them at that price….provided your head scout is good.
Red
Talking bollocks again it was 19 years 3 months and 5 days.
Stroller
Don’t barca have a cash flow problem…
Offer them 60m
They prob are still paying for previous players bought in past…
60m
It’s not our fault that they can’t integrate him to there style, o4 they paid ove4 the odds.
Plus give them first refusal on belend
gambon
You missed Dembele – wasn’t he something like £12 million?
Agree Akilan
I think AMNs only chance of being a real top player is at FB. Just doesn’t seem to have the presence or technique in CM but we’ll see.
Guendouzi lòoks a possibility though.
RSPC
I think both Sok’s and Lichtsteiner’s signings were as much about personality and presence in the dressing room as anything else.
Marc,
Wow. Sokratis at his best is a worse defender than Bonucci at his worst.
Its like signing Higuain early in the window and later Messi becomes available for the double the money.
Its not about the quality of Higuain rather missing the chance to sign Messi.
Akilan
Fucking hell you are psychic – you know that you don’t need to sign players that are available because someone better will appear in a few weeks.
It all makes sense now Wenger was following your train of thought knowing that someone better would be available “soon”.
Problem is I think the days of the Bailey’s and Malcom’s being picked up green and moving for 10 million or thereabouts is over. I mean ismailly Sarr is likely to cost 20-30 million. Steven Bergwijn of PSV too. Best bit of that type of business was Justin Kluivert for 17 million
Marc
I thought it was 19 years 3 months and 7 days?
Marko (resident clown)
You disingenuous turd, found out the comments you claimed I made about winter deciding for himself when to bow out? very pathetic of you to make a slanderous comment about about something you have absolutely no knowledge of
Being a practiced liar doesn’t mean you have a powerful imagination. Many good liars have no imagination at all; it’s that which gives their lies such wide-eyed conviction.
You owe me an apology,come on be a man and own up, coward
Marko
Yeah but inflation will move the value of other players with it so ultimately having someone who can spot a gem will still be someone who can spot a gem.
azed
“Marc
I thought it was 19 years 3 months and 7 days?”
I might have missed off a leap year!
Marc,
A player doesn’t get available all of a sudden in the middle of the window especially at Milan. He’s been linked with others all season.
If you paid closer attention, Milan are a fucking circus right now. Everyone is changing in their club. Topped by the fact that the epitome of calmness Rene fucking Gattuso is their coach. Let that sink in.
And they were banned by UEFA from EL, which they successfully appealed.
Any player worth their salt would jump from the embarrassment of that ship.
He’s been linked with manure all season.
Akilan “Wow. Sokratis at his best is a worse defender than Bonucci at his worst” Forgive me but I Wouldn’t put too much stock on your take about players . I mean I could quite vividly recall it was YOU and our resident clown waxing lyrical about a certain Max Meyer being the best midfielder we could get after deciding against a new contract at his club You literally clogged the blog with his meaningless stats when it was quite visible that he won’t be a major upgrade for our midfield but wouldn’t have none of it.. guess what? dude… Read more »
Akilan
It’s also all over the net that he wants a return to Juve and is willing to take a cut in pay to make it happen.
I’m not saying he’s not a good player – I’m not saying Sok will be the new Tony Adam’s all I said was you’ve written off a player before he’s even completed a full 90 minutes in a friendly, if you can’t see how negative that is you need to get a grip.
Pure blind faith is bad, I have no idea what the complete opposite is called but it’s just as bad.
Carts
I think Sporting knew what they were doing all along. The players invoked “just cause” which is like an overrider on professional contracts (I don’t know).
They aren’t even asking the transfers be stopped, just asking for compensation for training the players for so so years. Appealing to conscience
mystic
Surely the players would have generated more money in sales under normal circumstances?
The only way I can see your theory working is if the club knows it’s fucked and the board were looking for a scapegoat(s).
