I have said earlier that I have doubts about Zubimendi but will give him the benefit of first season in the new league. However, though some of his tackles are great, his passing is mostly sideways or backwards. He has been guilty of Man U's first goal in the home defeat and for the final, he was ahead of Oreilly when Kepa dropped the ball, he shouldn't have allowed him to score but he was easily brushed aside for a free header.
Hopefully he improves in his physicality for the next season.
Over analysing now that I am pissed to lose the chance of first of the four trophies.

So, Zubimendi was on the right side of the player until Kepa dropped a cross he didn't need to try and catch? Bad example to use, in my opinion.

Hi Eds, Eze has been linked with Man U and Spurs, surely if he is moving then we should be going in for him or is he not a target for us?
{Ed014's Note - Rodrygo is the only winger I’ve seen us linked with so wouldn’t know about Eze.
It would seem strange for him to take a step down and join the Spuds or that Manc 5h1te. ?♂️
1.) 16 Jun 2025 17:07:18
Thanks Ed, same thoughts regarding him taking a step down by going to either. It will be good for us to get one of Rodrygo, Eze or Gordon. Can take a punt on Grealish with loan.
{Ed014's Note - a case of wait and see HB.

Flirt with the prettiest girl at the disco and leave empty handed or with a tramp. Great.
We need to be more strategic and deliver - who cares about the fish we wanted to catch. 3 years later and we are still chasing the dream.
If we win trophies - it would be easier.
03 Jun 2025 09:40:48
Hi Eds, do you know if we have had any serious discussions with our primary targets and their clubs? It is very early days and transfers are complicated process but I am fearing the usual hesitancy in our approach. It will be disheartening if good players are snapped up and we keep faffing around.
{Ed001's Note - yes, I believe you are trying to sort out at least a couple of signings in this initial window. It is a different year for PSR purposes than the second window, so getting them done now will get them off the books earlier in the future.}
1.) 03 Jun 2025 10:32:31
Thanks Ed.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate.}

Hi Eds, do you have any latest on which wingers we are looking at if any? I would have liked Eze or Gordan, but with Palace in Europa and Newcastle in the CL, they look unlikely. We missed out on Marmoush and will have to compete with many clubs for Nico Williams. We need someone who can hit the ground running and preferably with premier league experience.
{Ed001's Note - Rafael Leao and Gittens seem to be the main two targets.}
1.) 26 May 2025 13:36:53
Thanks Ed, Leao is a good player but hasn’t lived up to the hype, Gittens also is one for the future but any additional depth to the squad will be welcome.
2.) 29 May 2025 02:26:39
I would be chuffed with Gittens, 20 y/ o with 8 goals and 3 assists for BvB? Sign me up. Williams would be the premium target but doubt we'd pay the asking price.

Proud of the boys, they have put in absolutely everything this season. We are the PL champions!
May be the CL was a step too far for us this season, we aren’t clicking in attack, can thread an attack with 3/4/5 passes. PSG was always going to score so we should have been on the front foot after we took the lead.
Bring on next season!
1.) 31 May 2026 08:03:12
We took the best team in the world to penalties, and on almost any other night would have had our own pen on Noni to potentially win it in 90mins. Massive performance, and one the whole club can be proud of.

Came across a Wenger video where he opened up on his second half of the tenure. He said he had at least 5 offers but rejected them as he genuinely thought that Arsenal is a club of class. After 2007, when Dein left, the banks wanted Wenger to sign longer contract as a guarantee against the loans for stadium, and it was mandatory for us to qualify for the CL every year to cover the 22 million loan repayments. He said then Chelsea and Man City came in with their money, and we had to sell our best players and it was hard to compete.
Football is about winning, and us fans just want to see the trophies. However, knowing these things only makes us more appreciative of the effort and sacrifices the people at the club put in. Watching this video after we had won the title helped me look at the situation differently. Had we lost, I would have been ranting.
But I am proud to be supporting Arsenal and with the shackles now off, I am sure we will achieve great things.
Thank you, Arsenal!

Lovely post, Highbury, mate.

Congratulations Aston Villa, worthy winners and well deserved trophy.
How did Emery lose Europa only with us?!
1.) 21 May 2026 08:45:15
Of all the clubs Emery has managed, I think we had the worst mix of management issues and expectations. For all his faults at PSG, he was well resourced and never had to worry about CL qualification. When the expectation of the club and its fans is so high, he struggles, but when he is an underdog, and given freedom to operate, he excels.
Great manager - just a bad fit for Arsenal and other clubs with our expectations.
2.) 21 May 2026 09:17:55
Fair point, Wire, I am happy for him and Villa.
They may be our toughest challengers for the PL next season.
20 May 2026 12:44:00
If we win the CL and spurs are relegated, will that count as a treble?
I can't hide my smugness, can I? ?.
{Ed014's Note - no you can’t! ?
19 May 2026 22:27:29
Man City Bottled it! ?.
1.) 19 May 2026 22:44:55
Hopefully we have plenty of Man City bottled water for Sunday. ?
2.) 19 May 2026 22:47:15
Stay humble, guys COYG.
18 May 2026 10:21:10
He still has an error in him every now and then, but his overall performance covers for that, and so far such errors haven't proved costly.
13 May 2026 10:02:49
It will be the save that won us the trophy.
01 Jul 2025 18:18:41
I think we will get Eze, Rodrygo and Sesko.
16 Jun 2025 17:07:18
Thanks Ed, same thoughts regarding him taking a step down by going to either. It will be good for us to get one of Rodrygo, Eze or Gordon. Can take a punt on Grealish with loan.

SY, I know you are critical of Vic, but he has done fine for his first season, also taking into consideration that our overall play didn't suit his style. He will be on fire next season if we start moving the ball quicker. We do need another striker though.
05 Jun 2026 10:59:53
But Vlahovic won't offer anything different, he is very similar to Vic. So we will end up with two strikers with same strengths and identical hairstyles. ?
04 Jun 2026 18:11:59
In that category (squad depth and more experience) , Harvey Barnes could be a good shout.
04 Jun 2026 18:11:09
He is a good player, though. Not sure he is an upgrade on Martinelli or Trossard, and Everton will demand money, as he has a substantial period left on his contract, so expensive for a squad player.
04 Jun 2026 08:45:54
We must get Alvarez, if not continue with Kai and Vic and invest money in a proper left winger.
Eds or anyone heard anything who we are pursuing for left wing (apart from the Rogers links)
