I was really debating what the right move was at the time. Really wanted to keep Emi but there really wasn't a market for Leno. Looking like we screwed the pooch on that call.

I'm convinced Leno died in January and it's actually Almunia in disguise

Another miserable EPL match. Getting old. Only joy has been in Europa League. .Hope that doesn't end.

Sad times to be an Arsenal fan. But...I lived through the Fran-Sherman era.

Very good comparison except I would blame the front office. I don't have a problem if we fire Arteta but I don't think it solves any issues.

"I don't like the dive."

Yeah, no one does. But it works for Son. Do you like it then?

I don't think much of this is on Arteta. Key injuries and a squad with multiple people not up to EPL standards makes it hard to be anything other than middle of the pack. We are what we are now, and we will remind that until Stan sells us.

Did I hear it said during the broadcast Arsenal has their worst home record in all comps since 1930?

Current EPL record is 13 wins, 7 draws, 13 losses.

Does anyone here honestly expect European football next season, especially knowing the only way in is to win the Europa League? I certainly don't, but hope I am proven wrong.

Not with our injury situation. We have been dealt **** luck, on top of being pretty mediocre.

Henry, Bergkamp, and Vieira supposedly joining the Spotify guy's potential ownership group

Good luck beating the Invincibles, Stan

He's supposedly a big fan of the club. I like to think having a new owner helps solve a lot of problems, but I'll believe it when I see it

I'm curious if Henry, Vieira & Bergkamp have the cash to come in as ownership or if they would be coming in as front office / club management?

Maybe as very small minority owners, but I'm sure it's more about having the backing of Arsenal legends to get the fans on board with simply exchanging billionaire owners. Henry has been incredibly vocal about the downfall of the club and you have to think he doesn't attach his name to this if he didn't like Ek's plan.

In other news, Balogun officially signs a new deal and we're working to get ESR extended as well. If they get Emile done, it'll be nice to have those two, plus Martinelli and Saka all on long term deals

Is there any way they can force Stan out? Because I get the feeling he won't just simply be "bought out". Unless they throw Elon Musk money at him or something. Even then I'm not sure he'd take it.

Stan is a businessman, first and foremost. He still believes it's his money. So, he is going to do what is best for his bottom line. If selling is the best thing, he will do it. If he feels like selling now is premature, he will hold on until he's used this club to finance something else he's got going somewhere, and then quietly look for a buyer. In my opinion, we won't hear much about a club sale until its been sold.
The guy is quiet, likes things to be quiet and isn't one to stir up a bunch of crazy rumor or speculation just to raise the price on the club. He likes things to be on the down low.

I will gladly contribute to this cause by subscribing to a Spotify family plan.

Yesterday when I got the Spotify email about the family plan going up a dollar in June I was surprisingly very ok with that.

Not shocked at all. Granted, they wouldn't say if they were interested either.

Maybe if nothing else this little episode convinced them to **** or get off the pot. Maybe just maybe they will spend a bit more to give us a fighting chance.

Saw another (possibly BS) twitter post where the reported estimated asking price was set at $3 Billion or 2.15 Billion pound sterling. Which would be roughly 125% profit on the price Silent Stan paid for the club, and also likely out of the realm of reality for Ek. For reference, the club has had losses totaling around $120 million over the last two years.

I think it convinces them to spend for a summer or 2 just to A) appease the fanbase and B) hope to get more competitive so CL money will start rolling in again.

I've heard suggestions of 2B GBP. Not suggested as an asking price but in the argument that Stan won't sell. Someone suggested that if a buyer put 2B on the table he would most certainly take the money and walk away.

If I have paid for Spotify premium since its inception and probably will as long as I am alive, does that make me like 0.00000000000001% owner of Arsenal? Or just an angel investor? Either way, Kroenke out.

Well that's better news than expected. I doubt we get Tierney back this soon, but it would be absolutely massive

I'd be surprised if PEA was ready.
Kinda wanna give Tierney a bit longer to make sure he doesn't aggravate something.
Laca would be nice. Happy to see Eddie & Gabby get a shot but would rather they come on after we are ahead.
Luiz can stay injured as far as I am concerned.
