And we've turfed Santi out* as well :-(

Having geared myself up for the excitement of the daring appointment of our former dashing number eight, a player I admired greatly, I have to admit to being slightly disappoint.

However, this fellow did well with his former clubs, and has the advantage of experience, so I am optimistic that he will be a good appoint.

Perhaps we could hire Mourinho as interpreter.

He failed to win the league with PSG one year, a. Now I don't want to be harsh, but surely it's harder to avoid winning the league with PSG than it is to actually win it?

Also, Sevilla went a whole season without winning away. A whole season.

Also, we will be his 7th club in 12 years. He is a butterfly or, to put it another way, a ****.

These things all combine to distress me.

Wait until you see the new strip. It's basically a visual acknowledgement that we are no longer The Arsenal.

My word. That really is repulsive. Bleeurgh.

Gay pink bits, for all love!!

I watched the Thorpe thing last night. Not too grim with the bumming. Huge Grunt tells the fella to get onto all fours, reaches for the pot of Vaseline and then thankfully it cuts to the next scene.

These things happen. We let Leicester win it the other year. Jardim in!

Hopefully Mikel is not feeling too snubbed and he'll be ready to take over after getting West Ham into Europe.

Surely we've not fallen so low that we'd need Manchester City's number 2? Anyway, I gather West Ham United have just got Pellegrini in.

Little Guardiola, they called him at La Masia.

I bet knows his way round the drugs cabinet and everything.

There you are then. Let young Mikel go back there and prove himself then.

Just a minor point of order, if he was 'Little Guardiola', how come he ended up playting for Rangers and Everton?

He ended up playing for The Arsenal imo.

I gather the epithet referred to his understanding of the game. I think I got that from Tim Stillman so it must be true.
