It has turned out to be such a strange season, that even after we playing at our best, beating teams for fun, winning at shite hart lane, keeping clean sheets more than any other teams, scoring more than anyone else – we are going to end up second! Man City just can’t lose can they?
Fulham can do us a favor, they can restrict Pep to a draw or win against them. I have zero confidence in Tottenham beating City and West Ham can’t go through them on the last day at Etihad. If something can happen, it’s today. Lets hope the gods favors us and Fulham and we get to see for once the sad face of Pep Guardiola. We have one of ours play for Fulham, Bernd Leno, who has promised that he will give his 100% to stop our competition.
There has been some happenings while I was missing. Jorginho signed the contract for another year, Mikel was full of praise for him and it basically confirms it’s time for Thomas Partey to go. I don’t believe Mikel wants to keep two 35 year olds to fight for one place when Declan Rice is a starter. If I was you Mikel, I would sell Thomas for whatever money we can get, and go into the market for a DM understudy to Rice/Jorginho.
Bayern did us dirty in the quarters. Saka was denied a clear penalty. Harry Kane got away with an elbow on Gabriel which should have been red. They weren’t so furious then about refereeing, but when it happened to them against Madrid when the offside whistle was blown a bit too early, all hell broke loose. Mr Tuchel, Karma is a bitch.
Next year’s kit has been leaked, and I am disappointed to say the least. Last season was best of Adidas, both Red and White, and the black ones were great. This season, the third kit was a standout and home one was fine too. I think I might skip the next season’s if the leaks are true.
A belated Happy Birthday to Dennis Bergkamp, you happened when I was playing cricket as 10 year old but looking back, I would have loved to see you play live. A gentlemen, a magician, red through and through.

Fabrizio reported that we are monitoring the young 18 year old Ajax centre back Jorrel Hato. He has a deal till 2028 and he will be an investment for the future. We most certainly need a third regular CB to rotate with Saliba and Gabriel without hampering our game play. White/Tomi are CB but we haven’t seen them play there, and we don’t know if they will turn out to be equally good. If it costs us 10 odd million, I would say go for it.
Sacking news have started about Pochettino. He talked about an interview, the content doesn’t really matter but if the manager comes out and talks about it, either he is fearful he will be sacked, or he knows he will. Chelsea has just moved from a billionaire russian who managed to win things to a billionaire american who can’t make things happen. Loving it.
Right, and Ten Hag just can’t stop talking about us can he?

we are grateful for your blog – do whatever you have to to keep the blog ticking over. If it is bad we could let off a silent scream and you will not hear us.
A quick post is live now, I will be back before the finale!
Thanks Norg. I will do it in the 3 months of quiet period. At least it won’t ruin the game days.
Vera, Marc, chill kids.
The link between thinking Arteta has done a good job this season and supporting Trump is a tenuous one. It comes across like you’re just flinging random insults at the wall because you’ve been wrong all season. Venting your collective spleen on a blog is the wrong way to make whatever point you’ve been trying to make. Unless your tall tales were the point.
If my comments upset you feel free to scroll past and ignore them as I advised you yonks ago. I’ll go on whatever blog I feel subject to being blocked. Nobody will care that you or any other unstable fantasist feel sad about it.
I’ll leave the tall tales to you and tweedledum, leave the football chat to me. I do it better, you can do bitter.
Most goals ever suggests a striker isn’t a massive priority. I’d prefer taking a punt on Biereth to wasting money on the Slovenian kid. It smells like agent talk, creating a buzz where non existed.

Tets constant flapping was probably a sign of his inexperience and possibly insecurity. It grated the hell out of me.
He does it a lot less now. Not quite Wenger levels of inaction but an indication the team is coached better and need less in the moment guidance.
Achole —typical clown chowder…no one was making a direct corelation between supporting Trump and Arteta, but, as per usual, your inability to process anything with even a modicum of nuance is on full display once again…as for footballing knowledge, you’re the grasshopper to my Miyagi, and prior to you gracing us with your trolling nonsense, I spoke of little but football…maybe if you spent considerably less time trying to overcompensate for all your obvious shortcomings, you just might learn something…btw no one was suggesting that you couldn’t or shouldn’t be involved with this particular blog, albeit it’s certainly not surprising that you couldn’t quite grasp what was being said, I was just wondering aloud why you would want to in light of your managerial leanings…I think we all know the answer to that question little guy

Tets constant flapping was probably a sign of his inexperience and possibly insecurity. We also had a bad team that needed constant on field coaching. It grated the hell out of me however.
He does it a lot less now. Not quite Wenger levels of inaction but an indication the team is coached better and need less in the moment guidance. He’s still got some way to go before hitting Ancelotti zen levels..
Vera, just ignore me. It’s better than you writing half baked fan fiction.
If you need to tell me you’re Mr Miyagi, and that’s a really odd way to visualise yourself in my view, perhaps it shows you’re not coming across well.
Go back to football and I’ll judge for myself whether your views are any better than your diatribes.
thanks Mr. Pot…sincerely, Mr. Kettle
