Just read that Tuchel has apparently said that it's in the English players DNA to bottle it.
I think Sally could be right about him losing the dressing room.

If Big Will out for few months. Wonder if Stones would be worth a punt. Free agent. Between him and Mosquera could fill the void.
16 Jul 2026 14:29:02
Would much rather Fury and Hincapie covering Ramsgate! How many cb do clubs need? I guess if Fury and Hincapie are covering left back alone, we'd need more. Could be a rough start to the season if Dekkers and Willy out.
Could speed up Bruno, I guess. Don't get me wrong, if in as cover, and it is deemed we need cover, then could do worse than Stones. He was used to sitting on the bench at C£ty. COYG.

* And Saka COYG.

Sussex, completely agree with Fury and Hincapie filling in. But, with those 2, and big Gabs all being left footed, not sure that's what Arteta would want ideally. So for me, Mosquera 1st option, but he'd need back up.

England play Argentina at rugby on Saturday.
Funny how sport throws up these things.
16 Jul 2026 09:15:21
Looks like Billy Boy is going to be out for sometime.
How do people feel about getting John Stones for a stop gap?
16 Jul 2026 08:25:40
I can read a room so I won't rub my new #NoEnglandLet'sParty hashtag in just yet. I feel it may be too soon.
Hope everyone is having a most excellent summer - even those that enjoy a summer all year round (Ed001) .
I've been looking at highlights of Manu Kone of Roma. Lad looks very skilled. Wouldn't mind seeing him in an Arsenal shirt. Thoughts fellow Gooners?
{Ed001's Note - cheers Sharpie! I am just looking forward to proper footie returning.}
16 Jul 2026 08:34:26
It's been a poor WC. Just haven't felt it this time around to be honest. Hope you're well, mate.
{Ed001's Note - I have only watched a couple of games.}
16 Jul 2026 09:01:57
Very poor game management from us yesterday, Someday the boys will turn into men! Like Arsenal, England's time will come.
Sharpie, there were talks about Kone, but I thought he was totally dominated by Rodri and Ruiz in the midfield, not sure he can cope in the PL.
16 Jul 2026 17:15:37
I reckon Tuchel panicked Bill. I've never seen so many squeezed into the box with nowhere to go so early in a game. I wonder if he has lost the dressing room with that decision?
16 Jul 2026 21:24:14
You could be right there, Sally.
Anthony Gordon's face when he was being substituted told a story.
6 defenders on the pitch, 4 of them centre halves, and Eze and Saka, players who can actually keep the ball, sitting on the bench.
🤷♂️ 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️ 🤷♂️

Evening all Ed's and fellow gunners. hope all is good. I've just been reading a very worrying report saying saliba could be out for up to 4 to 5 months. if true that's a big chunk of the season. report said he has been playing with back issue for quite a while.
only doing light training sessions and getting by in matches by sheer courage and pain killers. fingers crossed for the lad. going to be a big miss.
15 Jul 2026 22:14:12
Sitting back after going one up and being all defensive doesn't win major tournaments - hope Arteta is watching. Disappointed for team and by manager.
15 Jul 2026 22:33:15
Tuchel cost us our best chance for years.
16 Jul 2026 04:54:39
100% Sparky, mate.
15 Jul 2026 22:07:36
Proud of England.
But terrible terrible substitutions by Tuchel.
14 Jul 2026 10:06:33
What about a cheeky offer for Tielemans Ed mate, could pair him with my mate Ketelaare🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
{Ed014's Note - that’s a shame as he’s just signed for United otherwise I’d have been all over that…….NOT 😂
16 Jul 2026 08:28:57
14 would pay 5 McDonald burgers for him, and still feel ripped off.
14 Jul 2026 20:34:50
B*****
Billy Boy taken off
Didn't look good.
15 Jul 2026 09:32:49
Looked bad, Bill, mate. Hopefully he can recover in time for the season. 🤞🏻
{Ed025's Note - that must have been a really hard season for the Arsenal players Highbury...because none of them have turned up for this World Cup mate, most of them have been poor and the rest bordering on pathetic, Madueke has to be the worst player to ever put on an England shirt...and i seen Carlton Palmer.. :)
16 Jul 2026 08:31:13
There are players from other teams in the squad, Ed025. Just thought you might need a gentle reminder. 👍
{Ed025's Note - i know that Sharpey and a lot of them have also felt my wrath mate, as i said i think the Arsenal lads were burnt out and that goes for the ones representing other countries as well..
11 Jul 2026 11:15:35
"Hey everybody, just a quick message just to say, I know that we're watching the World Cup and we're distracted by the World Cup because let's face it, it has been pretty good up to this point, apart from everything else that's going on outside it, but I just want to say, let's try not to forget that Arsenal are still top of the Premier League!
