    *apart from Zin ofc, if he doesn't like the dog it'll be put down

    I was more implying that if we have some Muzzas in the team they might consider dogs haram. Though apart from Xhaka and Elneny I don’t think we have any devotees to the “religion of peace”

    Most of our lot are either unaffiliated or Bible bashers like Saka

    With Xhaka moving on, that’s pretty much all the remnants of Wenger’s dying days gone.

    I know you don’t like Rice but he is significantly better than Xhaka. That’s an immediate upgrade

    Not a like for like is it, Rice is a defensive midfielder he’s not going to play the no 8 role.

    And I think Rice is massively overrated.

    If we want to spend a lot on a midfielder it should be Caicedo. We clearly aren’t signing both

    I’d rather we didn’t have an 8 role anyway. Would prefer someone like Rice who’s very robust to sit with Partey and help transition play a lot quicker than we currently do. Rice can play box to box too at least. The role Xhaka played this year was fun for a bit until it meant our midfield getting absolutely overrun. We conceded a shit ton of goals this year and as far as I’m concerned a lot of that came from a lack of midfield control.

    Caicedo would be great too but I think Brighton would make that very difficult for us. Where as West Ham wouldn’t stand in the way of Rice moving on.

    i think that's right, Xhaka slowed things down at times (also my one of my several big issues with Zin that he does the same), we're often so slow in transition and it's not made us any more secure at the back without Saliba to tidy things up

    I'd much prefer Caicedo but I guess if Rice is already leaving as you say he's easier to get, provided we make him feel he's first choice

    Got to say though, personally i don't know why any player would want to come to a club where players are frozen out or discarded so completely and so arbitrarily by the manager, for reasons of subservience rather than whether they can do a job for the club

    Now I’m largely of the view that it was only going to be a matter of time before Arteta froze someone out.

    But honestly you incessantly whinging like a woman on the blob about this makes me hope Trossard appears on the team sheet so it will shut you up

    I don’t suppose it will though, that would take humility

    wow, both blatant sexism and religious prejudice in the space of about 30 mins - what next - burn the gays?

    Holy shit, dude.
    It's completely obvious what he's saying. We have the best side in Europe in the PL. Arguably the best ever PL side. And we've pushed them pretty much all the way. No-one else has. Of course it's disappointing we didn't finish the job, but no-one thought we were going to finish 2nd this year or have a serious title challenge - those things are independent, we finished 2nd to Leicester but never seriously threatened them, we've pushed City into going full beast mode to overhaul us.

    It's still mathematically possible we could win the league. We won't clearly, and I don't believe he thinks we will either. But what's he supposed to say? If he said it was over he'd get hammered for that

    Well given I was equally scathing of Islam and Christianity, I’ve at least showed my ecumenism

    Honestly though who cares, it’s no more nascent than your whinging about everything Arteta does. Who gives a fuck if he gets a dog or a capybara for the training ground?

    I wouldn’t say anything like burn the gays on here, there’s far too many people who would take it personally
