Ultimately, I think this is the truth with Starmer and Arsenal. He's an actual fan, it's something he's always done. If going to games was a new habit he'd picked up, then it would be dodgy but it's not - his explanation why he's taking the hospitality is perfectly sensible and cost-effective...
How you feeling now, Dwayne? Starter for the u21s and if he starts playing regularly in midfield for us and scoring goals - he'll get himself a cap this season.
I think Sir Keir is probably handling all this noise very well. The media is largely right wing driven so of course they're going to make big scandals out of everything that happened, and pretend that Boris Johnson's premiership didn't happen at all. Nothing Labour are being accused of so far is...
A big and very rare error from Veltman cost us the win - but we should have been 3-1 or 4-1 up by that time. The forwards need to take responsibility for putting the games away. We should have shown more desire to win at Arsenal, and were lucky ultimately that they didn't take their chances on...
He played very well but I'm concerned he's all style and no substance - goals are sanity and he doesn't score them. I'm not convinced by him at all but we'll see. We didn't put the game to bed and the attacking players are responsible for that. He is the signing I'm most dubious of but he's...
It was an absolute stinker of a tackle, could have been really nasty for Joao Pedro and it was luck rather than intent/execution that it wasn't. A yellow all day long, possible straight red although it wasn't exactly Martin Taylor on Eduardo bad.
I think Caicedo is head and shoulders above. Baleba has a high ceiling for sure, but I don't think he's going to be as good as Caicedo but being naturally left footed means he will likely be equally as expensive and he has a sensational skillset. There were eyebrows about the fee, but once again...
Julia Zigiotto Olme signed for Bayern! I hadn't seen that whilst looking up the ladies who left us, great move for her. There are a few players who have left us who I have a feeling could come back if we can get in the top 4 this season and look poised to push on. It will be interesting to see...
Most? I don't think that's right. But I also don't think it's really the point, a small handful of players will be provided to the first team from the various loans around Europe and that's the goal of it. Anyway, I think Hinshelwood is a good example of a player given their chance here who is...
How positive were the loan moves last season for Cameron Peupion and Imari Samuels? Loan moves don't always work. We'll see how Rushworth gets on at Hull, hopefully successfully so he can either be in our squad next season or sold on for a big fee.
That is an opinion. He also hasn't played for Hull yet - hopefully tomorrow!
He lost that bet. Maybe he should have put his money on Verbruggen being number 1 for the Netherlands and given him the gametime that was wasted on Steele and cost the Albion a chance of a top 10 place.
I think playing cup games here and training our elite facility wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for his development. Especially if Bart does get an injury, heaven forbid it actually happens. What I don't think we fans think about is the impact constant loans have on the player going out...
My point has been made. Steele will always concede goals because he's not very good. It's just a fact and proven over the last few seasons. He plays - we concede goals and it's very hard to win games at this level if you haven't got a good goalkeeper. You mention Wolves conceding three, they...
He played, we conceded two. That's why I don't want him in the team, because he's always going to be picking the ball out of his net. Luckily, we got away with it against Everton but every time Man Utd went forward they put the ball in his net - we were just lucky they can't time their runs. A...
I think Ramsdale is probably a good and apt comparison. He will be relegated the third time in his career at Southampton, because he's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. When he plays, the team concedes goals. Arteta replaced him, and Raya won the Golden Glove and Arsenal were much better...
