Tony Pulis is at Middlesbrough though.

Damn didn't take one minute for him to find a new club did it?

 

[Night Prowler]

Of course, he's an incredible manager.

Next AC Milan manager?

Arsenal are about to crash out of the FA Cup to Nottingham Forest. Currently 3-1 down with 70% possession.

 

[The Flash]

I tuned in and the ref gave a pen to Nottm Forest on a clean tackle by Mathieu Debuchy. Classic Arsenal.

Arsenal can now focus on their main tournaments for this season: the League and UEFA Cups.

Nottingham Forest 4 - 2 Arsenal

Fam. Fam. Fam. Fam. Fam. You understand. FAM. FAAAAAAAAM.

And now Alexis is close to Man City.

Except that City are running away and there is Atletico and Napoli in Europa league now.

And now Alexis is close to Man City.

My understanding is that we'll sign someone and then let him go. I'm fine with that, Alexis clearly doesn't want to be there. Hoping for Thomas Lemar. Don't really understand what Alexis does for City though. They already have Bernardo Silva rotting away on the bench. Some players have to be sold, surely?

Except that City are running away and there is Atletico and Napoli in Europa league now.

He meant the League Cup. Arsenal is in the semis.

 

[Black Wizard]

Correct. The most important trophy in England, apart from fourth place of course.

 

[matic22]

Ah, sorry my bad.

How to play an offside trap, Arsenal style:

Seriously, whoever was their main man in this defence, should have been subbed that moment.

Arda Turan signs for Istanbul Basaksesir. That's the Erdogan club, right @The Flash?

 

[The Flash]

*Başakşehir and yes. Well, one of them. Not exactly surprising, Turan was a vocal supporter of the yes vote in the referendum.

To paraphrase Ian Curtis...

LOL.

Reminds me of a situation from my younger days, when my team had a corner kick and I took a position in front of their goalkeeper. I heard one of the opponents say to one of his team-mates (concerning me) "never mind him, he's offside anyway"

 

[Night Prowler]

Man Utd are now favorites to sign Alexis Sanchez He's not in Arsenal's squad today, Mourinho confirmed Man Utd's interest and City reportedly don't want to pay too much for him since they are already winning the title and Jesus' injury isn't as bad as they feared.

 

[The Flash]

Arsenal rumoured to be interested in Malcom of Bordeaux as a replacement. Honestly, if we get him, I won't really mind losing Alexis. His heart isn't with the Gunners anymore and Malcom is a great talent.

Arsenal has been missing out on great young prospects for too long. That needs to change.

 

[matic22]

Every time Arsenal plays, I'm grateful that I'm not an Arsenal supporter. If Wenger doesn't go today, he will be at Arsenal until his death.

But, can't wait fo Arsenal Fan TV fam, you understand?
