Morning Trish, have you any news on our search for a striker or is it still going to be hard this window,?
{Ed001's Note - Ithought you would go in for Boniface but it seems that you are going with what you have for the rest of the season.}
1.) 02 Feb 2025 19:10:48
Thanks mate.
2.) 02 Feb 2025 23:06:15
You don’t think we will get a loan for Tel done?
{Ed001's Note - isn't he a winger?}
3.) 03 Feb 2025 09:19:12
Hey Trish, looks like you’re right, report’s says we are done this window
One step ahead mate.
{Ed001's Note - makes a nice change to be right!}
4.) 03 Feb 2025 13:35:16
You won't hear me disagreeing with you Ed001 (j/ k) . Hope you're well, mate.
{Ed001's Note - I am good mate, I see your attempts at humour are not so good these days though! How is life in the sunny old UK?}
5.) 03 Feb 2025 13:49:27
I'm getting older mate and finding the will to be funny is tiring me out. Ugh! Don't get me started about the weather. When I first came to these shores, I absolutely loved the cold, crisp weather. Like my will to be funny, my will for this weather is also slowly ebbing away.
Glad you're doing good, mate.
{Ed001's Note - we actually had a bit of rain here yesterday.}
6.) 03 Feb 2025 14:30:45
Stop showing off!
{Ed001's Note - sorry mate, I will stop now. I need to go inside now from the balcony as it is getting a bit chilly anyway. I doubt it is even 20c now, so I better go get a jumper on.}
7.) 03 Feb 2025 15:09:29
Tw*t ?
I use to hate the heat back home and was thankful for air conditioning. These days the old bones would relish it. I'd love to move but the wife doesn't fancy it. I regret all the jokes I use to make about being allowed 4 wives.
{Ed001's Note - love you too mate hahaha.
Maybe you should consider wife number 2?? ;-) }
01 Feb 2025 16:50:43
Rashford to Villa
Watkins to the Arsenal?
1.) 01 Feb 2025 18:40:53
Watkins overrated imo.
29 Jan 2025 17:52:27
Ssp news saying we've had a bid for Ollie Watkins rejected
Trish have you heard anything?
{Ed001's Note - only that they are selling Duran so have rejected all interest in Watkins.}
1.) 29 Jan 2025 18:24:48
Thanks mate.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate. They want rid of Duran as he is a bit of an attitude problem.}
2.) 30 Jan 2025 22:58:20
I was at a party with Duran and he liked to party❄️.
3.) 31 Jan 2025 23:17:08
Yeh I heard he’s Hungry like the wolf ?.
27 Jan 2025 09:20:04
Ornetein on nbc sports says isak is our no1 target he doesn't think we will get him this window
We are actively looking to sign a forward, I'd say on loan. I have a feeling we will go for rashford on loan
Sesko is not in our plans.
1.) 27 Jan 2025 09:43:05
Ornstein **.
2.) 27 Jan 2025 10:24:31
Issue with Rashford loan is we would have to cancel either Neto or Sterling loan to allow it, as I believe we are only allowed 2 domestic loans.
So I presume, if a loan, it would be one from abroad.
3.) 27 Jan 2025 14:40:49
Sterling has been really terrible. I feel for the guy, he tries, but just isn't at the level we need. To add Rashford to that, either with or instead of, seems like a terrible idea.
Give me a young player who will put in the necessary graft any day. Hell, I'd love to see Calafiori further forward, the man has style.
4.) 27 Jan 2025 15:40:35
I think Ferguson from Brighton would be a sound and popular choice on loan.
5.) 27 Jan 2025 17:53:46
We can’t cancel Sterling loan as there’s no break clause, so we would have to sign a GK/ rely on Setford as back up and cancel Neto.
6.) 27 Jan 2025 13:23:53
Hey Ed, apologies if this has all ready been asked. Nico Williams huge wages decent buy out clause. Are you aware of Arsenal having any interest?
And again apologies if this has been asked. Victor Osimhen. He could be an interesting and realistic target?
{Ed001's Note - interest, yes, but I would not expect anything in January.
Osimhen was asking for 400k a week from Chelsea in the summer, I very much doubt his attitude has impressed anyone looking at him.}
7.) 27 Jan 2025 19:32:30
Thanks for input and info Trish.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mal.}
8.) 30 Jan 2025 15:25:57
PLEASE …! Anyone but Rashford…!
22 Dec 2024 09:45:51
Morning Trish, how's it going?
Have you any news in a director of football for us?
{Ed001's Note - I take it you mean the Edu replacement, which is actually titled Director of Sporting Operations. Very confusing! You just appointed James King a few weeks ago as Director of Football Operations. At the moment the search is still on, there is no real rush as Edu is serving a 6 months notice period, so will still be technically in place for the January window. Though his assistant will actually be running things, Jason Ayto. If he does well, it might simply be a nice promotion for him in the long term. Though that seems unlikely right now.}
1.) 22 Dec 2024 10:52:13
Thanks mate.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mal.}
2.) 23 Dec 2024 16:57:22
I might be a bit dim here Ed001 but if Edu is serving 6 months notice shouldn't he still be working? I'm wondering if there was trouble at t' mill?
{Ed001's Note - it is rare in business that you want someone who is potentially going to a competitor working their notice period. It is standard practice to have them clear their desk immediately. Then they are out of the loop by the time they start their new position.}
3.) 23 Dec 2024 18:01:03
Aha thanks Ed001, hadn't thought of that.
4.) 23 Dec 2024 18:03:02
Aha that's why you are an Ed, ed and I am not lol.
{Ed001's Note - I guess so Sally. I do try and learn about these things.}

Best win of the season
Being written off by every Tom Dick n Harry
Who says we need a striker
Write us off at your peril
EIE.
1.) 15 Feb 2025 15:01:27
Certainly pulled it out of the bag Mal mate.
Merino looked a old hand at this goal scoring malarkey.
How's your Dad if you don't mind me asking.
2.) 15 Feb 2025 15:41:34
Maybe I`m too optimistic. We beat C£ty 5-1 and the only change in the team is in one position ( I am assuming Nwaneri and Martinelli are fairly close in ability) and that is Kai. That then must give us a chance in most games especially as he is awful apparently - seriously guys the disrespect he gets has been breathtaking! Our keeper defence and midfield are pretty good. This was the first game without the front four and we will learn and get better. Late winners always give belief. Let`s keep the pressure on, learn to play a different way and let Mikel Wright score some goals. I`ve never thought the title race was done. Still in it COYG Injuries - not an excuse.
3.) 15 Feb 2025 15:51:57
We've been written off more times this season than United have had changed manager since Fergie left Mark mate, but no matter what their detracters throw at them our players keep just keep giving it all they've got to give for the club, fans, manager and each other.
4.) 15 Feb 2025 16:17:55
didnt se the game following on daily Mail live thread, every reporter as you say writing us off. Some red faces in the reporters room.
5.) 15 Feb 2025 17:28:06
Merino " if they want me play striker I will play striker, if they want me play in goal I'll play in goal ". We maybe short in player numbers but we are not short in players willing to play their part for the team.
6.) 15 Feb 2025 23:28:18
Noone will ever believe me now, but I was thinking last night that we should start Merino upfront - he's looked dangerous from crosses since he arrived.
I hope we give him another shot after today, so calm and composed for both finishes.
Nwanieri is phenomenal.
7.) 16 Feb 2025 02:57:34
Didn't Merino score a similar goal to the opener recently to win Spain the Euros? For someone who claims he doesn't want to play striker, he looks a dab hand at it.
8.) 16 Feb 2025 08:07:35
I've got to admit It never crossed my mind SW mate but on first viewing it's an excellent shout ?.
9.) 16 Feb 2025 08:46:37
Hi Billy, just waiting for the phone call.
10.) 16 Feb 2025 16:25:14
So sorry to hear that Mal mate
Been there I know what your going thru ??.
05 Feb 2025 21:59:21
Well done Newcastle
Some of us want you to win the cup.
1.) 05 Feb 2025 22:17:53
It would be nice for them to win. Although we wouldn’t hear the last of it for a decade…. but the alternative doesn’t sound great either.
That’s a poor score over both legs.
I bet the live chat was cheerful xx.
2.) 05 Feb 2025 22:19:45
To be fair they deserved it over the 2 legs, we were shocking in the 1st leg and worse in the 2nd. Good luck to them.
3.) 05 Feb 2025 22:23:48
I can’t believe Vodkamartenelli wants Spurs to win it!
4.) 05 Feb 2025 22:32:06
does he really though, you know people say things in the heat of the moment all the time.
5.) 05 Feb 2025 23:18:01
If anyone but Arsenal are going to win this Trophy I'd like it to be Newcastle.
Love them or loath them they have fantastic supporters who the overwhelming majority of have never seen their club win anything other than promotion.
6.) 06 Feb 2025 07:37:01
Still angry malababy pmsl.
02 Feb 2025 08:28:02
I was going to say make us proud today boys! But I've been proud of the club ever since I started supporting you all those years ago
EIE.
1.) 02 Feb 2025 09:37:07
Mal, I’m proud to be a Gooner but the players and managerS have not always made me proud. There’s a difference. There’s been times when the manager has let us down ( GG bungs ) , players let us down and the team by their performance but I’m still proud to be a Gooner. There’s a difference.
We are up against it today. They need to show us they are proud to pull the shirt on. The manager needs to remember he’s at a big club with ambition and the board needs to remember the expectations of trophies as they let Wenger down by not pushing / questioning him…
Henry was spot on : “You need big shoulders to play for Arsenal. The cannon is heavy. ”
If they don’t have big shoulders - replace them. Today is the opportunity to show we are a big club, care about the fans and are a big club. Get after City and don’t defend for 98 minutes.
I’m always proud of being a Gooner but sometimes they do let me down& nothing wrong stating that.
2.) 02 Feb 2025 10:23:16
Hi Mark whatever happens today or for the rest of the season, if we finish top 2 for the 3rd consecutive season and once again make it to the champions league last 8 or further I will be of the opinion that over the last 20 years, we've never had it so good.
For me I plan to enjoy moment of our time competing at the top level once again for as long as it continues, because sooner or later like every club in England be them Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United Chelsea, Everton, Leeds, Forest, Derby, Newcastle, Blackpool, Preston or anyone else who has ever tasted life at the top level we will once again slip out of competing at the top level for a period of who knows how long. Neither highs or slumps last forever so in my opinion it's a good idea to make hay while the sunshines ?.

There is a shiny new stadium down the road with a pub team playing in it
Long may it last.
1.) 28 Jan 2025 18:42:00
Hi mal I’ve actually seen better pub teams than that shower of s#*t from up the road…?.
25 Jan 2025 17:17:18
Played very well with 10 men
Great goal from Fury
Another clean sheet
Happy days.

I have to seen anything is Sesko sally
Is he any good?
04 Feb 2025 20:20:48
Hey ramsgate, saga was on live chat about 10 days ago, he’s in good spirits.
03 Feb 2025 20:13:35
Evening mark mate, I just don’t think our no1 target was available
I hope it’s isak.
