    By "weeks", presumably you mean the proverbial 2-3.

    But the captain and GM11 and Noni are still walking unaided, Gyokeres is able to digest solid foods?

    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

      Is Saliba is back for Villa, that would be great. The rest are perfectly manageable in the current context.

      I want the captain back.

        I assume he won't risk Saliba against Brentford but will have him back for Villa.

          No problem. After years of believing anyone can score goals for the Arsenal, the truth now is actually anyone can play in our defence.

            That is a highly disputed truth.

            Cedric couldn't. Zinchenko couldn't. I couldn't.

              Right. But this season, they could. Or rather, any defender we actually currently have could.

              The whole sorry Almunia episode taught us well that you really mustn't skimp on back-ups as you may end up trying to win the European Cup final with them.

              So we no longer do.

                Dear God, remember when we were signing the likes of Cedric and Mari? Now we have Benny Blanc and Hinchappy a cover at RB and LCH.

                  They both did ok for a little while, and as part of a **** squad.

                  It has taken a while but we really have travelled a long, long way.

                    It's an incredible long way in 5 or so years.

                    That first season we challenged for a CL spot, we had a back 5 of Rambo, Tomi, BW, Big Gabby and KT. And I was so chuffed after Mustafi, Sok, Luiz etc. I thought that would be our back 5 for a 5-10 years. Now, other than Big Gabby, they've all gone other than our 50 mil ball-playing CH being 2nd choice RB and perhaps 4th choice RCH.

                    The moment I loved Gabby was when we were playing woefully at the start of his career with us and it looked like MA could get sacked. He'd been the one positive. He was defending well when everyone else was atrocious. And when we were losing in one game, as opposed to just trying to keep doing his job well, he got the ball on the edge of our box and just tried to score goal single-handedly. He started charging up field and skipped past about 4 players before getting tackled. He seemed to be saying that if no-one else was gonna try, he'd do it on his own.

                    Btw, did you see the Chav's goal from the corner was offside?

                      Really do think that having Havertz back will be such a big boost for us. Can't come soon enough.

                        Dunno Rich. He's bit 'Peter Crouchy' for my liking. For every goal he scores he bungles five sitters.

                          I don't believe it Ganps - VAR would have intervened, surely?

                            Have you seen him now? Must have put on at least two stone of muscle over the summer. He's a class act.

                            Also scored 15 in 36 last season - and played as an 8 in a decent chunk of those games. That's a better return than Gyokeres will ever get for us.

                              I have seen it. It is definitely offside.
