Well he said he would take 'some days' to reflect after Sunday & then drive along the M25 to Colney a final time to clear his belongings. I suspect it's today or tomorrow.

A bloody good thing too - I suspect Ivan is waiting to get into that office.

Atletico last night? That is a real football club with a real following and a real manager.

That soppy old french tit you love so much personally supervised the transition of AFC into a merchandising operation. I didn't see a single iPhone waving JCL ****-stick among either sets of fans last night.

I shall be at London Colney to bellow my good riddances at the daft old sod as he leaves (though I will refain from calling him a peedo).

You can bet that Sky will be there, shoving their cameras in his face. Allow the man some dignity, ffs. Let him say his goodbyes to Ivan & the rest of the team that haven't been relieved of their duties.

Just to be clear - I cleared out his office for him.

The only items in his desk were:

A Montblanc pen with the engraving Arsene Wenger's Red & White Army
A photo of him and Sir Alex with a message from Sir Alex - Forget Jose. We are BFFs forever xxx Sir Alex
A VHS of his first double at Arsenal
A Walter PPK
A copy of the first contract he signed
A old school phone book - all women with notes next them and scores out of 10
A half eaten banana
An old unlocked iPhone4 with nothing but dick picks on them - I'm guessing his but I can't verify.
A 3 quarter empty bottle of Johnny Walker Blue

Kind Regards

Your Best Mate

PS I asked him about the Walter and he said I can have it. He only kept it because it gave him comfort that he had a way out.

You guys are a ss holes.

I'm off to shoot some squirrels after I'm done delivering this money.

Bully stopped appearing on it after people started talking about his private life.

He made a comment in a video where he questioned whether or not the ref had a washing machine dropped on his head like he did.

People started discussing this and it came to light that Bully suffered an industrial accident where a washing machine dropped onto his head and he received a +£10m payout although some say it’s closer to £100m.

Needless to say he wasn’t happy about the attention and left.

He didn’t even show up to the 5 year party.

I didn't even realise you could spend over five hundred quid on a pen. I'm still using the Arsenal pencil I got for my secret santa the other year.

I would think being a relative of a commentator would be quite weird all round. I wonder how Richie Benaud's family feel about all those Richie's at the Tests?

Mine smashed, or broke in half more accurately. Not long after the battery went and the commentary sounded a little downsy.

Well I say it in jest and really what I mean is that MA’s number 1 priority will be to put the issue to bed – new contract or sold.

Given the paucity of midfield options at the club I suspect we will try to retain him, and correctly so in my view.

If you imagine him playing where Silva and KDB do for City you can imagine it working provided Arteta can teach him some positional sense and he improves his ball retention i.e. loses the silly flicks and gets more physical. Be an interesting one as I think that is his best position.

New Keeper
Hector Bubble New CB New LB
New DM
Ramsey Xhaka
Mikkie Lacazette Aubameyang

Four new first team players. Four.

Have you seen the state of the transfer market? How much money do you think we have to spend?

Oh, sorry, I forgot your exciting theory that the money available for transfers is infinite because football exists outside the physical boundaries of reality. Silly of me.

You are assuming he will just try to do a carbon copy of City which is fair enough.

Perhaps he has his own ideas to a degree and will look to cut his cloth according to the talents he has.

I would suggest it very unlikely the new Bubble lad will be in the first 11.

Arteta is surely looking at 2-3 minimum, if the midfield issue of Wilshere and Ramsey is not resolved then 4.

It is where we are I'm afraid.

We have loads of money to spend, the financial statements of the club say so and have done for some years now.

Although you don't need to spend loads of money to get a good player if you know what you're doing. See Mo Salah.

It would surprise me if he played anything other then some variant of 433, seems to be flavor of the month and suits who we have available.

Bubble is a reach, I'm just desperate to imagine an Arsenal CB who isn't currently a pile of c*nt and based on recent performances he's about the only one who isn't nailed on. :shrug:

I thought Chambers performed quite well towards the end of the season.

Caveat this by saying his improvement was based on coming from a ground zero of being absolutely fúcking ****e.
