    Has the transfer window been flung wide yet?

    If it has, how come Sanchez is still at our club?

    Well, the scousers have bought VVD for £75m and are now shocked that Coutinho is almost certain to go to Barca......can't honestly believe they thought they'd fork that out for a player and not sell

    Strikes me as a terribly large sum of money.

    Excellent article in the Sunday Times by Jonathan Northcroft on the changes taking place at Arsenal in preparation for Wenger leaving. I believe it included the suggestion that Wenger would not be in charge of the transfer window decisions this January, not entirely anyway.

    Goretzka and Lemar in, Sanchez and Ramsey out.

    Indeed I read said article with interest.

    I cynically assumed it was a piece placed by the club as it was all extremely positive and reinforcing how great the future could be.

    The relevant part of the article, it gives me hope.

    That’s the vision, anyway. Same old Arsenal? Not really any more. It has happened stealthily, often quietly, but 2017 was the club’s biggest year of behind-the-scenes change since Arsène Wenger arrived in 1996. Because Wenger stayed on a fresh two-year deal when his contract came up for renewal in June, the cliché has remained of Arsenal as an institution meandering along — and a continuation of the varied first-team results and performances of recent seasons has furthered that impression, shared by many.


    But it may be wrong. 2018 is a year where the effects of huge alterations to the structure around Wenger are expected to start being felt. The January transfer window could be a beginning, with Mislintat coordinating recruitment for the first time.

    I used to love football. I used to meet my mate Dave on a Saturday, drive to Highbury, have a couple of beers, get sasuage and chips from the Arsenal Fish Bar on Avenell Rd, stand on the North Bank and sing viciously anti-semitic songs, enjoy a Mars Bar at half-time, cheer when we were good and giggle when we were outrageously bad, then go home and get on with my life.

    What the fúck happened to football? Now it belongs to people like you who touch themselves inappropriately because some **** called Mislintat is in charge of transfers?

    Fúcking hell.

    Important point to add:

    I used to get battered sausage. Dave preferred plain, although occasionally he would substitute the sausage for a beef and onion pie. Another chap came with us sometimes and he would have 'a nice piece of cod' until the week it was his turn to pay, when he would decide he wanted sausage too.

    Literally, we used to have no idea about what went on behind the scenes. There was the team, the manager and the Chairman. That was it. And that was all you actually needed to know.

    Too much light has been let in upon magic imo. This has resulted in football fans giving a flying fück about the balance sheet and who owns what shares. Bad.

    I care only that Wenger is being phased out, I have little interest beyond that. And I never touch myself inappropriately, not too often anyway.

    And I certainly wasn't doing so when reviewing V's latest Facebook photos which included one of you and your hairy nipple.

    Can you ask her to never do it again, hmmm? I was in the middle of a fine bottle of Burgundy at the time and it put me right off.
