Hmm I am starting to believe Arteta is on to something good here.

players signing new deals when we have been at our worst for years.

In the past when we were not far off from the top they would leave

I suspect Aubameyang will stay. Even Lacazette's post on Instagram I think yetserday had the trust the process hashtag.

I think it will be a good summer for us.

Players used to leave us because they were good enough to choose to go to clubs with a better chance of success. We don't have that quality of player any more (Aubameyang excepted.)

I'm starting to enjoy this team of somewhat ordinary players. I'm not yearning for Bergkamp, Pires and Vieira any more; I'm remembering when it was exciting watching Sunderland, Price and Talbot.

What about Alan Ball? He's the reason I support the Arsenal apparently. Him and George Graham.
When they were at Everton and Chelsea respectively

The thing about Bally is that, according to the North Bank, “He shot his cum all over Lawrie’s bum.”

So think on, r.

Oh, nothing to do with me, of course; I was but a small child. Ball and Graham were my big brothers' favourite players.

The North Bank is never wrong. Stern, stolid, implacable, honest men; no sympathy for chaps, like McMenemy, that go about drinking non-alcoholic beer. Quite right too.
