    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    What's amazing is that, not only did we beat City, we outplayed them. I think out of the last 19 games against City, this is only the second time we had a higher xG than them. This wasn't us sitting back - we completely nullified them, pressed aggressively, set up high, and won nearly every...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I feel sorry for him having to swim upstream for the entirety of his time here so far. But this is an excellent answer that I think we all needed to hear. If someone doesn't want to be here, fudge 'em.

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Fair enough mate - I just noticed she was next to Levy the Burnley game and Ally Gold had an article highlighting it, so I figured maybe it presaged a change. If not, then on we go as we always have done. :)

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Sure mate, but they haven't spent 100m - they've spent close to 300m and counting, and have also been spending prodigiously since well before their return to the CL. They've been consistently heavy spenders since 2020, and it's pretty widely acknowledged that a significant chunk of that is...

    FFS...it's happening again!!!

    Clearly, the trick to appeasing the football gods is more pictures of models in the stands at the Lane. You missed that here - fatal mistake on your part my friend. ;)

    Ben Davies

    The strange thing is, Seamus Coleman looks no different to how I remember him looking when he was first linked with us - in 2009!

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    They're just an extremely decisive club since Josh Kroenke took the reigns, representing his dad - that coincides with the Kroenke acquiring full control of the club in the aftermath of Usmanov being booted. The bigger issue lies in that disparity - Arsenal have invested owners, so if Josh...

    Eberechi Eze

    They have mate. The article by Miguel Delaney is pretty authoritative in that respect - they agreed a deal in principle for him 10 days ago, and our interest only started after that. As per Delaney, Palace used us to get Arsenal to up their bid, but both they and Eze knew that Arsenal were in...

    Eberechi Eze

    I think we have *decent* options, but 'really good' is pushing it a little, I think. For example, compare the forward lines of the top six clubs and I think we're probably bottom of that group. Likewise, our midfield isn't really comparable to the others we call our peers. Our defense is great...

    Eberechi Eze

    For sure mate, but I guess my point would be that, if we acted like the other clubs now do, we wouldn't have been in this scenario to begin with. Like, if we had a DoF who had enough pull with agents that one that was in the know told him about this deal Arsenal had with Eze (i.e, CAA Stellar...

    Eberechi Eze

    Rules exist to be broken mate. That's where the Premier League is now - anything blatantly unfair or against the rules is waved through with a wink and a nod, including some outright illegal activity (like Liverpool under Klopp having that strangely consistent on-off spell where they ran like...

    Oh, one other thing - the Director of Football job is meant to be one where you have contacts that tell you about situations like this, so you can avoid them. Agents, binmen, accountants - you're essentially valuable for your network of informants. For those interested, read up on how these...

    Eberechi Eze

    It isn't that he can't help himself - I think that's personalizing things to him too much mate. It's more that the club, as a whole, just is not run the way the clubs we measure ourselves up against are run. It isn't just Levy (though he does play a part in it) - the club is run in a way that...

    FFS...it's happening again!!!

    Steady on mate, Frank has won one, lost one so far. :p Just joking - you're right to dream. Everyone should dream - that's what football is about, as Ange once said. :) Personally, I think one of the reasons folks are feeling more optimistic now is because Bilbao lifted a huge weight lifted...

    Cristian Romero

    I said a few weeks ago that, if he signs a new deal and stays a few more years, he'd be up there with Kane and Son when the time comes to rank our legends. I am very glad he's apparently taken that to heart! :D For me, this is the best business done this window, bar none - it's sometimes easy...
