Welcome Cristhian Mosquera! Deals coming in thick and fast. ??
What happens to Kiwior - will we keep him.
Just need a LW now and then that's a complete window subject to departures.
Staying positive DG ?.
1.) 15 Jul 2025 11:59:27
Need to get Gyokeres over the line this is dragging a bit too much.
2.) 15 Jul 2025 13:18:28
Hey mark mate, could be a mega window?
3.) 15 Jul 2025 13:31:18
Hi Sy. Personally, hope we keep Kiwior. He 100% proved he's a decent player at bsck end of last season. Saliba, gabs, Kiwior and lad from valencia as our choices at CB would be brilliant as well as others that could cover in emergency (white, timber, calafiori)
We've looked good defensively for last couple of seasons, add to that Kepa, its a solid backline with good reinforcement.
4.) 15 Jul 2025 14:33:13
Hey Mark. Been the best I've seen in a longtime.
5.) 15 Jul 2025 14:42:49
Lots to talk about on the pre-season friendlys coming up on live chat
How are you buddy?
6.) 15 Jul 2025 15:12:59
I'm ok mate trying to stay out of trouble and now that wage robber has gone it should be easy ?
How was the pub crawl, I mean holiday.
7.) 15 Jul 2025 18:15:54
It was good mate starting the next leg of the journey middle of August.
13 Jul 2025 19:26:11
Welcome to Arsenal Gyokeres - let's get some goals! COYG ❤️?❤️?
Roll on Rod and Eze.
20 Jun 2025 14:43:22
Ed, happy Friday. Are we looking to bring in competition for Ode? Are we looking at Bilal El Khannouss? Hope we get competition for Ode.
{Ed014's Note - who knows SY, plenty of links but we see them all the time.
Really just be good if Odegaard gets back to the form of 23/24, that’s my priority.
That season, apart from 3 goals scored he had better stats than the 2nd coming of our lord Jesus, or as he’s known on the Liverpool page, Florian Wirtz. ?
That was his title winning season too.
But going back to Bilal El Khannouss, that really is anyone’s guess. One of the rumours said Arsenal are the closest to signing him, was that last week, this week, earlier on Thursday afternoon or as of 4pm today.
Nice to see you believing something else an ex pro has said, who hasn’t been at the club for donkeys and I’d very much doubt knows anyone in the know. ?
Happy Friday!
1.) 20 Jun 2025 15:54:34
True but I have a soft spot for O’Leary for one reason or another.
I need to stop that but I don’t see why the club wouldn’t back a striker signing and Arteta loves Kai for some reason so what Big Dave said seems highly likely. He probably has a little bitterness towards the club but I trust him more than Robson’s opinion.
Point taken…. ?.
{Ed014's Note - he does like Kai, hence why he bought him and Kai does bring something to the table and if we had a bona fida striker we’ll hopefully get to see what else he can do.
Would it be competition for Odegaard.
He is really an AM after all.
2.) 20 Jun 2025 15:55:28
Thanks for the reply and enjoy your weekend.
{Ed014's Note - you too SY.
29 May 2025 23:26:47
Looking promising that Gabriel will negotiate a new deal with us. Great news and well done if true as tieing down our stars is important in a world where contracts get run down to maximise wages. ???.
02 Feb 2025 10:58:20
Loan move for Mathys Tel till end of season?
1.) 02 Feb 2025 13:52:41
I thought about that until I heard he turned down Tottenham for potential loan deal at man united.
2.) 02 Feb 2025 15:18:22
Not sure there’s a better option that doesn’t tie our hands in the summer - can’t do nothing…. can we?
3.) 02 Feb 2025 15:47:47
unfortunetly I am getting ready for the fall out in the upcoming weeks when the club states we tried (Watkins) but nothing availble, and Nwaneri is like a new signing.

Well done boys - tough game to watch
We really need a striker option off the bench. # 1 priority in Jan. Kai and Jesus aren't the goal threat we need off the bench. Need a hungry quick striker.
At least Viktor had a few efforts on goal. Need to see him in the middle more and making better and more runs - then moan you ain't getting the ball. You need to step it up son. We wanted a 20 plus goal a season striker not over your contract.
Another clean sheet and squad depth showing its importance.
Was Eze even on the pitch today?
Anyway - well done. Didn't play great, away from home, clean sheet and 3 points. Now we need to start playing great.
{Ed025's Note - you never played very we well SY but a win is a win mate, Fulham are no push over and will take points off some good sides, you do have probably the best squad depth in the league and that will be crucial in the latter part of the season i feel, but let me enlighten you...Gyokeres is a lemon im afraid..
1.) 18 Oct 2025 20:10:28
First game back after the international break and 3pts from a difficult away fixture. Not pretty but very effective.
Another clean sheet and Noni Ode Kai and Jesus all all to come back at some point during the long season ahead. After a very cautious start to the season everything is looking positive ✨️.
2.) 18 Oct 2025 21:08:52
Its still early days for VG, we are still adjusting to accommodate him and he is still trying to adjust to fit in with us. He has until Kai is fit to just keep working hard and giving it all he has. Obviously if he isn't firing on all cylinders by the time Kai is fit he should and will have to drop to the bench for a while until his chance comes again. Let's wait and see how it plays out for him with us.
3.) 18 Oct 2025 21:19:48
Thanks Ed - I’m not convinced by Viktor but many on here seem to love him. Hopefully he gets a few goals and see if he kicks on. Kai isn’t the answer nor is Jesus. Shame we didn’t go all out and buy a proper fast deadly striker. Hope we sort that in Jan but we will probably address in 3 years ?.
{Ed025's Note - i was hoping that Gyokeres would be the answer SY but in my eyes hes just not, the Portugese league seems very weak which is confirmed by the fact Amorim was a managerial god there, i do believe you have a very good chance of the league though mate because of your strength in depth..
4.) 18 Oct 2025 21:27:08
A lemon is a bit harsh. Not suited to our style of play? Maybe. But I can't agree with your assessment of him being a lemon. We've seen much better players come to the EPL and not settle. That didn't make them bad players.
{Ed025's Note - i have nothing against the guy Sharpey but i just dont think hes the right fit mate...just an opinion of course, nothing would give me more pleasure than to see him banging in goals every week...but i do know my onions..
5.) 18 Oct 2025 21:33:51
Chill out everyone. There’s a long way to go and Gyokeres will come good.
Last season we would’ve lost a few of these starting games if it wasn’t for the excellent recruitment from the club.
6.) 18 Oct 2025 21:46:40
I’m interested Sy as to who this fast deadly striker is? COYG Also we are top of the league and NINE points better off than same fixtures last season! Bit of optimism wouldn’t go a miss I feel.
7.) 18 Oct 2025 23:09:14
VG hasn't hit the ground running there is no real question about that but hopefully he will come good once whe fully adjusts to us and us to him.
On the question of buying another striker in January, what if he doesn't hit the ground running either? Buy a 3rd striker in summer 26 and a 4th striker January 27 if number 3 doesn't immediately set the world on fire? ????.
8.) 19 Oct 2025 20:10:45
Sometimes you need to take that gamble to win.
If you don’t buy a lottery ticket….
Better to try and fail than not try at all in my opinion. We tried not doing it 3 or 4 years ago and we know how that turned out.
9.) 19 Oct 2025 20:29:41
I’ve shown plenty optimism - give me a break there please.
If you don’t buy a ticket out of fear of not winning 62. Guess what - you don’t ever win. Intent, desire and ambition would mean fear doesn’t stop you attacking and being brave in the window. We didn’t do it 3 or 4 years ago. So be brave and who cares if he doesn’t hit the ground running. At least we had intent. That killer winning attitude is what Arteta lacks. Stop buying strikers that work hard and buy ones that do nothing else other than score.
05 Oct 2025 10:08:23
Who is your player of the season so far? Mine is Timber who has been awesome at both ends of the pitch, drive and attitude. The boy is a great signing and a winner.
1.) 05 Oct 2025 11:12:56
Morning sy, hope alls well…. Big thumbs up on timber. what a player. also think Riccy fury has been quietly and efficiently going about his business on the opposite side of defence. the mad thing is that once this squad really gets to know each others game. some teams are going to be getting thumped by the ARSENAL. I was looking at the difference between last season’s bench and yesterday’s. the difference in quality is absolutely nuts… COYG/ VTH ?⚪️❤️.
2.) 05 Oct 2025 11:16:23
Martinelli, simply because he annoys Mark (Malaga) so much, especially when he scores ????.
3.) 05 Oct 2025 11:12:36
Im a big fan too SY. I love his drive and commitment.
4.) 05 Oct 2025 13:10:59
Yep - Calafiori is having a really good start and I wasn’t his biggest fan. Seems to have adapter epl better.
04 Oct 2025 19:17:32
Nice easy 3 points for the boys today - nice seeing a braver midfield from the boss. Shame about Ode injury.
Victor needs to start doing something different to get on the scoresheet.
Well played boys!
1.) 04 Oct 2025 21:10:10
It was a good game mate, Gyokeres did well apart from getting the goal. i'm sure he will start scoring soon.
2.) 04 Oct 2025 21:14:18
It was Sy and most people on here ( me included) were putting time limits on MA tenure. Not because we lost or the performance even ( Slot said draw a fair result ) it was because MA and players weren’t brave enough at Anfield. Once we also get Kai, Noni and Jesus back we can rest even more players - C£ty did it for years resting players - but over a ten year period spending a billion £ more than us allows you to do that. I’m hoping that this squad allows us to compete for the whole season at a high level and not drop off like last few due to injuries. We shall see but we are in it COYG PS Liverpool are very good and C£ty why the meltdown- surely they’re still in it too. Baffles me.
3.) 05 Oct 2025 07:39:52
I think it's the manner of the losses that worries us the most, Sussex. We were slow and didn't seem like we knew what to do with the ball each time we had it. This is Lot's first time having a "crisis" of this level though so it's time for him to prove that he has the mettle going forward and drag us out of this rut.
4.) 05 Oct 2025 09:02:11
Defending a title has always been more for most teams nore difficult than actually winning a title Dracred. United did it repeatedly under Fergie and City under Pep but its always been a huge challenge for teams.
I think the difference between last season this one for you that last season Salah had the season of his career and was totally unstoppable plus you got the rub of the green with injuries.
Despite the banter I don't believe for one minute you are done and dusted for this season by a long way yet mate but I do believe your teams mentality is being questioned big time and you are going to have to come back after the international break with a very positive response to those questions or your season could very easily slide into meltdown on and off the pitch.
5.) 05 Oct 2025 10:00:29
Good to see us top of the table before the international break, let’s keep up this tempo and see where we get to. Squad depth is massive plus this season so we should be having a good go at all competitions.
Agree with G62 on Salah comment, this season Liverpool are missing TAA and Salah doesn’t contribute defensively. Slot will improve the issue and there will be real fight between us, Liverpool and City, I also think the spuds are steadily hovering around the top and could have a say in the title race.
6.) 05 Oct 2025 10:53:30
Spot on G62 - interesting to see how LFC react to pressure as it was the easiest league win I’ve seen for a while from injury and competition. We gave them a free run and City were poor. Pressure is on as trying to retain plus we have the squad to compete. Let’s see if they are bottle-jobbers or they fall apart with a bit of pressure like a Lego team. #fragileLFC.
7.) 05 Oct 2025 11:23:49
Hi Bill and Sy lads
Liverpools first game after the international break is home to Manchester United, fail to win that and the pressure on Slot and his players will increase dramatically, should they somehow lose that game then their armchair and internet fans plus the media will really turn on them BIG STYLE.
8.) 05 Oct 2025 11:53:41
I don't believe that we're out of it yet too G62. Way too early in the season to be throwing the title. Ed001 has provided some of his thoughts to why Liverpool are poor this season and it is a myriad of things. From the changes in personnel, to the training, to the change in playing style, etc. Sounds like too many changes all at once. Arsenal has a set way of playing under Arteta and although I don't agree with it, he has refined it and improved on it by buying players who fit that style.
I still think we can bounce back though but it is a massive ask. A lot of it depends on Slot for me and whether he can figure things out to make it all fit together.
Btw SY, if Arsenal wins the league this season, does it also mean that it'd be the easiest league win you've seen too due to competition and injuries too? ;)
9.) 05 Oct 2025 12:20:38
Hi Dracred you were without question the best team in the country last season mate, the Leeds team that won the last ever Division One title were the worst team I've ever seen win the league followed by the United team that comfortably won Fergie his last ever title, the Liverpool team of last season were far better than either of those title winning teams in my opinion.
I know a lot of Liverpool fans felt their team didn't get the recognition they deserved for being runaway champions and many were offended by Arsenal fans who were upset about us not getting 3pts at Anfield this season let alone a point, but i do hope that those Liverpool fans are now more understanding of other clubs fans who don't believe you are currently the force your title win last season suggested you were. The best team always wins the title over 38 games and every team finishes where they deserve to finish once those 38 games are played but sometimes one 38 game season isn't a true reflection of a teams overall quality.
10.) 05 Oct 2025 13:20:35
You were the best team Red without doubt and you will see on my posts how I’ve praised LFC. We imploded but you didn’t have any pressure really. Let’s see how this season plays out now we’ve both spent money to address squad. My question is how pressure impacts your team. Arteta imploded last time but hopefully he’s learned and it looks like he has and still is. Question is about LFC.
The Lego moment was on your fragile site from your fragile fans.
Well done last year. Deserved champions.
11.) 05 Oct 2025 14:06:08
Hi Dracred I think I posted on here that you had gotten out of jail ( Bournemouth, Burnley and Newcastle ) to be 15/ 15. We missed Saka Saliba and Ode I think at Anfield where if say vvd, Salah and Gravenberch were missing I think our squad depth would have helped us change our attitude. We perhaps gave you too much respect. The worrying thing yesterday was Wirtz Isak and Ekitike we all on and Chelsea had virtually no CB’s and nothing was happening. I’m sure Arnie will be back! I’ll get me coat COYG.
12.) 05 Oct 2025 14:55:44
Arnie did a brilliant job last season in seamlessly replacing the icon that was Klopp and delivering a title in his first season ????
The question is now is can Arnie find his inner Kindergarten Kop and make everything better or will he need to find his inner Terminater and begin rebuilding in January, if Liverpool should lose to United and it will be Judgement Day for Arnies Army and he might need to top up on underwear or he'll end up having to go Commando by the time October is out and he'll need to dig deep into his memory banks to have Toatal Recall of last season. Alternatively will Arnie be offended by the Liverpool fans who are turning on him so quickly after winning the league and choose to become The Running Man?
Tune in after the international break folks for the next intriguing episode of This City (impression) Is Ours.
13.) 05 Oct 2025 15:21:24
Preferred Gangs of London but either way - the city is ours ❤️?.
14.) 05 Oct 2025 15:34:04
I agree about the point on the fans on the Liverpool site being fragile, SY. A few have already thrown in the towel and written off the league after 7 games. Tbh, I find you all have more faith in the Liverpool team than we do sometimes ;)
The league is shaping up to be more interesting than last season at least so it'll be a fun ride for us all.
15.) 05 Oct 2025 16:39:51
Hi Dracred, i think its absolutely crazy that some Liverpool fans are already turning on Slot and the team and writing off your season, not just after only 7 games but when you are equal top of the table on points? I remember some Liverpool fans turning on Klopp early in the season after he'd delivered your first title in 30 years ???
It takes all sorts mate and its those fans who are reacting crazily to your early season blip and who are so crazily offended by Arsenal fans on this page feeling positive about their own teams chances who my jokes about Liverpool are 100% aimed at mate.
04 Oct 2025 19:30:06
Well done Chelsea
We are. We are.
1.) 04 Oct 2025 19:42:11
Some huge meltdown on the scouse live chat lol.
2.) 04 Oct 2025 20:35:13
Just been on there Mal, they are ripping Slot a new one. One even said I hope City win the title and not Arsenal.
3.) 04 Oct 2025 20:51:32
Having watched Liverpool's last three games, I'm fairly confident City are going to be the biggest challengers for the league this year.
4.) 04 Oct 2025 21:24:16
In which case SW come on you beautiful ? ? ? COYB.

King Henry - greatest player in wear the cannon?
1.) 04 Oct 2025 19:40:56
100% yes. The guy was phenomenal. Just look at all the other ex pros who are asked about him. He is always top of their list for the best Prem player. Lovely weekend again so far! Long way to go though.
2.) 04 Oct 2025 23:34:24
Everyone has their opinion on arsenals greatest player. Henry is known as the king and well deserved title. but my favourite player who 100% helped Henry achieve what he did for our great club. was the genius, the one and only bergkamp when you watched him on t. v he was great. but when you watched him in the flesh at Highbury you realised… the pure genius he was. absolute mustard….
3.) 05 Oct 2025 09:20:45
That he was sir. Pires was sublime also. When you rattle thru the players we had over a short window in the clubs history - WOW. I loved Freddie though but TH14 was that guy.
22 Jul 2025 23:04:00
Definitely have more options up our sleeve which will hopefully give Arteta more in game tactical change options which he or the team lacked in past 3 years. Plus hopefully the squad and young manager are more wise also. Boss has done well over past 5 years but inexperience / stubborness / bottle to go for wins has cost us. That’s part of learning and he does love the club. If he gets Eze then zero excuses and huge hope for the season.
14 Jul 2025 21:43:14
One of my favourite players from yesteryear and a lovely guy - Sammy Nelson. Keep your shorts up ?
That’s exciting and at the risk of sounding negative, despite Dublin saying a similar thing, that would complete our window and make it an excellent one. It can’t be excellent without addressing the lw hole esp when buying Noni. That would be pretty awesome but also what was required if we are real.
Fingers crossed
So did you think we would win those prior 3 seasons Dublin. Coming second is not competing if it’s over come Jan or March. Not in a competitive world anyway. May be for you and hence I clarified exactly what I meant by top 2. Not negative but clearly communicating and truthful. You could argue the year before but did you really think we were going to win it?
14 Jul 2025 08:40:17
Sorry but what’s negative about thst expectation - top 2 and a trophy?
My expectations are high due to the window and past few years.
14 Jul 2025 00:04:56
My expectation is more attacking play and more goals.
Proper competing for title to the last week with a belief we can actually win it.
I don’t mean 2nd like the last 3 years but actually believing we could win this right till the end.
So - Top 2 and a trophy.
13 Jul 2025 23:42:12
Think he will take TH14 or DB10 shirt?
19 Oct 2025 20:29:41
I’ve shown plenty optimism - give me a break there please.
If you don’t buy a ticket out of fear of not winning 62. Guess what - you don’t ever win. Intent, desire and ambition would mean fear doesn’t stop you attacking and being brave in the window. We didn’t do it 3 or 4 years ago. So be brave and who cares if he doesn’t hit the ground running. At least we had intent. That killer winning attitude is what Arteta lacks. Stop buying strikers that work hard and buy ones that do nothing else other than score.
19 Oct 2025 23:19:53
No offence taken at all 62 and I love hearing your view. We both know we need to kick on, that we are not clicking yet however top of league albeit after a small number of games. I’m not worried just stating we need to find 4th and 5th gear pretty soon.
Hope you are good ?.
19 Oct 2025 20:10:45
Sometimes you need to take that gamble to win.
If you don’t buy a lottery ticket….
Better to try and fail than not try at all in my opinion. We tried not doing it 3 or 4 years ago and we know how that turned out.
19 Oct 2025 07:59:30
Very true 62 - but we need to find that gear and Viktor his boots very soon. Great to be top but Liverpool will come out of this patch soon. City are there also. We don’t have 3 months nor does Viktor - as I said. Top of the League - well done as I’ve said before.
18 Oct 2025 21:19:48
Thanks Ed - I’m not convinced by Viktor but many on here seem to love him. Hopefully he gets a few goals and see if he kicks on. Kai isn’t the answer nor is Jesus. Shame we didn’t go all out and buy a proper fast deadly striker. Hope we sort that in Jan but we will probably address in 3 years ?.
{Ed025's Note - i was hoping that Gyokeres would be the answer SY but in my eyes hes just not, the Portugese league seems very weak which is confirmed by the fact Amorim was a managerial god there, i do believe you have a very good chance of the league though mate because of your strength in depth..
