Hopefully the football ignoramuses on here now realise why Xhaka/Ramsey will never

In which case, it's valid to criticise him for buying too many players who make bad decisions, isn't it?

Yes, and no. When money is tight, such players can still fit our budget.

Or, you know.....he could try a bit of coaching.

You could get Pulis in if that's the sort of thing you're after.

[redgunamo]

I know... it is still quite annoying though.

I think we should just be resigned to our fate, like that weird bunch of rabbits in Watership Down in the sinister warren.

Very good.

We mostly are resigned to our fate, I think. It's just that, despite that, we still like to talk about our team.

I might not mind that for a year tbh. Might be novel to have Arsenal disappointing me in a different sort of way.

I don't really know how to process that, a. I'm more disappointed with you than angry. I think.

There's a lot to be said for getting the disappointment in early. It's the hope that kills us, after all. Not literally, of course.

Veng will turn it round, though. He always turns it round.

I would have called for Allerdici, of course, but I gather he is now back in the international management business.

Is Mak Huge available, do you think?

[redgunamo]

Pulis probably ought to be though.

[Burney]

Quite. Everyone's entitled to an indiscretion, but he takes the piss.

Still, if it's any consolation to Ian, things could be worse...

Jesus, man. Are you (still) pissed?
