I genuinely wish bad things on Puyol and Pique and Reina. My negative feelings towards City are dwarfed by the hatred I feel towards Barcelona. Mes que en club, you’re goddamned fucking right. To me it is an evil and I just want to see it burn. Watching as it tore itself apart and lose Messi was honestly sadistic glee. I keep one eye the CL draw just because I am looking for a fight with them. They need to be humiliated, by our own hand.
Hearing Fabregas talk about it and the sadness and regret in his voice, the way he talks about Arsenal, I can forgive him.
I won’t forgive Wenger his pride in not taking back my boy.
Sadly I think he will go at some point but I’d temper your expectations on a fee. Since the we the Hazard disaster, Madrid have been pretty ruthless in their transfer negotiations, ie they will wait to get him on a free rather than go overboard.
Jude went for well under market rate when you consider what Endo, Rice and Caicado went for in the same year. I think the realistic expectation is around €100m give or take a bit which would be a record transfer for a centre back. I can’t also remember Madrid also going big for a defender/even a defensive midfielder.
If he has to go I hope it isn’t for years. We cannot let other sides reap the benefit of our hard work building these players up. It is time to stand up to the likes of Madrid.
I resigned to this fate the day I watched him make his Arsenal debut. He was even better than I imagined. The only way it's gonna hurt me is if we lose him for less than a hundred million pounds
"A bit scary, but my job here is to be honest so you can prepare a safety blanket if the worst happens."
You're the one who wants to wait 8 years for Arteta to win a trophy.
Don't expect good players to waste their careers for Arteta (& Arsenal).
Only slightly OT--
Rico Lewis is a fraud.
A null factor. Filler. Takes up space with little contribution.
Conor Gallagher does it better. That? Is an indictment.
Yeah, that interim manager of England is pretty shit. Not unlike Southgate.
I think Saka walked out cause he had enough. Looked like a knock or something minimal. Suits us well. Great manager.
Who to play between Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Palmer? Easy, just play them all!!! Surely it will work.
Foden and Palmer are the new Lampard and Gerrard. Can't play them both but sure, try it out and see for yourself.
Palmer, as talented as he is, only exists on the ball. Off the ball, he is in invisible form.
Foden is the greediest player out there. No wonder Haaland stopped scoring the moment he's back in the team, happened last season as well.
All in all, Lee Carsley is the perfect successor to Southgate. Nothing's changed, bravo!
Nothing will ever hurt like Fabregas.

Win trophies.
If you don't win trophies, your good players will always be up for grabs.
Simple.
Fabregas went to Chelsea and won a league title. We still won nothing.
Really, really surfed well on your sentiment-- until the last line.
Cesc made his choice. It was not AFC.
Simply cannot forgive his lack of loyalty-- only to then slot in at Chelsea.
He knew upon making the Barca move-- AW would never take him back.
Choosing to rub Chelsea-salt in our wound-- was one step beyond the pale (for me).

Three more seasons maybe from big Bill, then he’ll be off unfortunately.

We must keep Big Bill at all costs. Fuck RM and their antics.
If we have to pay him more. So be it.
First.... where The Arsenal should be aiming to get to this season.
I don’t like this at all. A lot of twerking going on and I’m sure that Mbappe & Co will be in his ear during the international break.
On the flip side, he is a Gooner. That won’t be enough in itself but if we add a few trophies and some big names, it might.
