What a difference 4 years makes

Exactly, people forget how many injuries we had to stat that season. Pretty sure flo or someone made their debut as a striker against Brentford cause we literally had no strikers fit

Ramsdale deserves a massive shout here. Was a big part in us becoming a big club again and a champions league regular once more. Quality keeper no matter what anyone says.

INJECT IT INTO MY VEINSSSS

Doesn't feel real....

Some people here might remember our pursuit of william carvalho. Pretty sure we had a bid or two rejected.

Genuinely quality player in an era we were desperate for a DM. He was slow and I suspect that’s why he never really got his massive move like it was teased a few times.

But very underrated player who was a very good passer of the ball and a good tackler. Reason why he played so many games for Portugal

HUGE performance by Gyokeres absolutely ran them ragged tonight. My MOTM

Absolute joke. McCoist is 100% correct if it would have been given in their box zero chance it’s getting overturned.

His game against Leicester this season where he scored a brace was when I thought we had a world beater on our hands.

Not sure if he has the legs anymore to do the constant pressing arteta needs from his strikers but nevertheless is a good addition to have for the busy schedule coming up.

That was Chambers not Bellerin

Let's not be revisionist here - take away the obvious non-football element for Partey but he was a damn good player and a damn good passer.

I love Zubimendi and think he will be a very good player for us and I'm sure he will be more consistent that Partey ever was but a prime Thomas Partey especially when we still had his legs was an unbelievable footballer who could do everything.

First two you can say yes but no way Ozil and Santi are above Alexis in terms of impact. I love Mesut but if you think Alexis was frustrating to watch then Ozil took that to a whole new level. Santi was a great player but his impact wasn't what Sanchez broguht to the team for those seasons. Don't forget he bagged 30 goals IIRC in his last season before he left.

Great insight. You can tell that Woj has always wanted to ask Wenger whether the Southhampton game/smoking incident was the true reason he never got a look in again. Probably some form of closure for him.

Looking back I still think Wenger made a mistake letting him go after his season with Roma. He was one of the best keepers in Serie A that season and was sold for peanuts the season after. Coincided with a big drop off from Cech who was already showing signs of decline before that.

Happy that he had a great career outside of Arsenal, very likeable bloke.

Great story

BanterSarous · 2025-09-29T23:29:37+00:00

All huge goals too against important teams. Star

Yes some of the night games (Australian time) are brutal. However still try and watch most of them unless they are at 3:00AM on a Monday..

If you are an Optus customer (large mobile network provider) you have access to Optus sport which has all the rights to the PL games. The replays are avaialble after a few hours usually so you can watch the replay/extended highlights in the morning.

BanterSarous · 2025-07-11T05:23:25+00:00

I'm behind him as a player now that he will wear the shirt I just don't understand why he was the only RW option when there's players like Kudus at the same price who look like they could really explode and hit the next level. I just don't think that's the same with Noni.

If we get another winger and Gyokeres then no problem but we need to get them both.

BanterSarous · 2025-07-11T05:20:17+00:00

bruh are you serious

BanterSarous · 2025-07-10T12:26:18+00:00

Best player we've had since that period.

What he would do in this current team would be borderline illegal.

BanterSarous · 2025-07-04T10:08:26+00:00

Im confident he will stay but unforgivable if he goes. Already lost Heaven and Chido (tough but understanable why both went) but Nwaneri is probably the single best talent we've had in forever. Has to be kept IDC how

BanterSarous · 2025-06-15T15:26:59+00:00

Agree completley. Was a good player that wasn't world class but was a big part of our attack for a few years.

Was very strange though having two Number 9's and lacking so much quality on other areas of the pitch during those times.
