    I agree with this.
    And its for the reasons you listed that I would classify predicting a top 4 finish for Arsenal as bold.
    Just saying I wouldn't go as far as saying it is completely ****witted.

    As for us, Lamps may galvanise the squad, Pulisic may turn out to be awesome, and one or two of youngsters may turn out to be hidden gems and step up in a big way, but thats a lot of "buts" and "maybes", and it really could go either way. The fact that this is only Lamps' second season as a manager doesn't fill me with an abundance of confidence! If he was more seasoned then I may be a little more hopeful.

    I have to say, I dont have a sinking feeling like I did in 2016.....in 2016 when we finished 10th, I said before a ball was kicked that I could feel in my gut that we would have a dreadful season, and we had our worst season in 20 years.
    This time around, even if we dont get top 4, I cant see us finishing lower than 6th.

    Spurs I feel the same. You signed that N'Dombele guy, is he replacing Eriksen? Is Eriksen still leaving or is that sorted now?

    Ndombele is essentially Dembele's replacement. If Eriksen does go, it looks like Lo Celso will be his replacement, although we're doing our best to keep Eriksen and sign Lo Celso.

  3. Thanks, mate.


    Saying that Chelsea will finish top 4 "for certain" would be a bold prediction.

    Saying that Arsenal will finish top 4 "for certain" is beyond bold. Okay, perhaps it isn't quite "fcukedwitted," but it's getting there, in my opinion.


    Yep.

    He could either have a worldly, or he could absolutely bomb.

    It's going to make the season a fantastic spectacle.


    If only Pix had had the sense to engage your degree of caution, eh, mate!

    We wouldn't all be laughing at him, yeah.


    I have said all along, way before last season ended, that we wouldn't be selling Eriksen until he had played at least one full season in the new stadium.

    I stick by that prediction, mate.

    We are going to smash top 4, this season.

  11. Meh.

    I’m sure that Levy wanted Saliba only for the wum value.

    He’d clearly struggle to make our bench, whereas he will waltz into your starting XI.

    You’ll be trying to tell everyone that Levy’s astute tactics hasn’t made that deal far more onerous than it need have cost you.

  12. You desperately need to believe that that’s how I gain my info.

    I understand that, mate.

    So you've signed Saliba then ?

  16. Levy was taking the piss, because he could.

    Get over it, Pix.

    So Levy took the piss by trying to sign a player that told him to **** off because he was joining Arsenal ?

    If that's the case, then he's made himself look as big a mug as you have.
     
    #2497
  18. You're not listening, Pix.

    We don't need Saliba. We never did.

    Levy was having a laugh.

    That's all.

    You're looking for a counter-wum angle where none exists, mate.

    So what did Levy achieve exactly, other than making himself look like a **** ?

    The same question goes for you.
     
    #2499
  20. Please, listen to what Levy (and me) is saying, Pix.

    It was all just a big laugh.

    A bit of bantz, if you will.

    At your expense - yes.

    But bantz, nonetheless.

    That's all, mate.
