All I can say is that Arsenal Fan TV is going to be bloody fantastic this season.

Don't be so hasty, Swansea seem intent on replacing Llorente with Boney, and he just doesn't seem capable of delivering the goals anymore.

...and Arsene has ensured that every week's 606 on 5 Live will be a 58 minute 'Wenger Out!' discussion, leaving 60 seconds apiece for the customary Liverpool "I really think this is our year" call, and a pissed Geordie slating Mike Ashley 😀

I've bet a manure supoorting workmate the grand total of a pint that Liverpool will finish ahead of them this season. It was more for the look of derision, confusion and hatred on his face, worth at least the price of whatever canal water lager he chooses.

He's even more obsessed with the scousers than Binbins is...

I'm out for a few beers with my season-ticket-holding scouse mate tonight. I'm sure we'll have our normal seasonal twenty quid on it. With a bit more confidence on my behalf this season.

I was meant to be going to see the Seville Champions League game with her at Anfield in a couple of weeks, then she told me the ticket prices. Sixty ****ing quid!! 😯

Tim Krul on his way to Brighton. Wasn't he one of the best keepers in the Prem a few seasons ago? What happened?

Injury and has never regained sufficient fitness for the manager to rely on him. He let him go to Ajax on loan to try to prove it, but in the end you're paying for someone who you can't / won't risk.

Yeah right!

£55k plus £5k

So £60 grand?

Ballys offer, but seems a bit cheap.

Not as cheap as sulking for a year then going on a free.
The fact that that is even a possibility is insane! Who on earth is in charge of contracts at Arsenal?

Same people in charge when the Suarez nonsense happened.

For example..

Anyway, they've ****ed it again as usual.

It's now just amusing to see how bad it gets.

...relatively speaking of course. I know Arsenal are still a top 8 side. But it's just the same shit over and over. Most expensive tickets, 2 billionaire shareholders, players leaving etc etc. Just gets tiresome. I'm just going to be watching Posh this season I reckon.

I don't really get why Pep has been so infatuated with Sanchez, while he improves the squad I don't see how he offers anything that different to quality players we already have. I would have rather he had gone for Aubameyang from Dortmund, or if hew was going to grab a striker from the gunners Giroud would have added a tactical option we currently don't have, a striker of his ilk would have made much more sense.

Speaking of Lemar, he's just popped in a scorcher in the France - Netherlands game to put France 2-0 up. Mind you, this is after Griezmann put in a nice dive to get a Dutch player sent off. #LesCheats

Wenger was fabulous and Arsenal played some wonderful football under his watch. However, that's past tense. I think the supporters are rightly frustrated that the PL has been quite open the last few seasons and Arsenal have not been contenders. Koeman to go there ?

For Britain at least this has been substantially disproven.

Only one team get the coveted title though. 😀

Maybe it was the rubber glove bit?

Anyway great day on tyneside, hopefully sky had somebody waiting there all day just in case.
Krul out was expected and been trying to for ages, he went to Ajax to prove himself and proved excellent the knee held up picking the ball from the back of the net repeatadly. Last year of contract so time to cash in.

http://www.themag.co.uk/2017/08/disaster-rafa-benitez-final-count-6-16-tim-krul-heads-newcastle-united/

Next to leave? Rafa.
It's a sorry state of affairs up there, Cashly needs to be gone, we would probably accept an owner with less cash but more integrity at this stage - wouldn't be hard.

PSG are taking the piss aren’t they? Effectively 400m on 2 players in this window? I know they’ve put off paying for Mbappe for a year but theyre also paying these 2 a fortune in wages. Plus they’ve been done for breaking the FFP rules before. If UEFA ignore that then they may as well scrap the whole FFP thing as it’s clearly a load of bollocks and just let these clubs spend whatever they want.

I see la liga is still throwing a hissy fit because barca and real are not getting enough privileged treatment from uefa.

They have already rigged the game in their favour with the "historical success" distribution of champions league money, and conveniently ignored state sponsorship when it benefited the two Spanish giants. What wonderful new distorted rules are they going to come up with now to ensure their continued success.

It's good to see PSG are breaking the Spanish stranglehold on the 'are you having a laugh?' attitude to Financial Fair Play rules though.

Looks like they're now exempt too

I wonder if PSG are going to challenge the "fair" play rules in court, it has long been rumoured they wouldn't stand up to a legal challenge.

Tough match, that! Stoke were really good. Cracking game though.

On the plus side, when Mane got sent off today I bet on the Scouser's lo lose 5 nil at 10/1 😀

On the minus side I had Mane on my fantasy football so he got me -3 points 😥

I also have Mane in my fantasy football team, fortunately balanced out by also having de Bruyne and Jesus.

It was a definite red as well, can't understand why their is so much discussion about it, it was as clear a red as could be.

Stoke played really well, shame the commentators still keep labelling them as just a physical well organised team, they have well moved on from that.

To make matters worse I had De Bruyne and transferred him last week 😕

Stoke looked really good going forward today. The two goals were really well worked. People who think of them as the old Tony Pulis side are going to have to reappraise them. It's going to be a tough place to go on today's showing

And Manes red was nailed on. It wasn't malicious, but it was definitely reckless. You can't go in with your studs up at head height. He could have done him some serious damage

FFP is bollocks indeed. Proof that the clubs are controlling UEFA to protect themselves. They've had their time and spend their money. They don't like any new clubs muscling in on their financial party that they've had locked down for years. Now we've got the likes of Gill pulling the seeding string to favour the likes of Utd which which is so awful and blatantly it makes you wonder how it can morally go on!

I can't believe that Liverpool are now contesting the ban, and some of the comments by the pundits have been absolutely ridiculous, it is actually starting to piss me off the stupidity of the excuses being made. It seems that Klops charisma and the way his team have been playing of late have clouded their judgement, if anything that tackle should be looked at in relation to having the ban lengthened.

If Mane was to control the ball without knowing Ederson was there, the highest his foot would have been is waist height. His foot was at head height because he knew the goalkeeper was there, that is reckless no what if or buts, and the injury just proves why the rule is correct.

Anyone who says that challenge wasn't reckless is a bloody idiot!. It was wildly reckless. And the damage he's done just proves it. You can't go in for a 50/50 ball with your studs up at head height. The straight red was totally justified!

Anyway... Woys back. It seems that with all the comments about how well the season has started..... with everyone looking to play fast, free-flowing attacking football, Crystal Palace has decided they'll not be having any of that nonsense. They're going to look to bore the opposition into defeat instead 😀
