Well done Palace. So pleased for them.

Happy for Palace.
@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain - sore head today?

Just a little bit yes!

Good business for Newcastle and we benefit as well with a signing on clause or whatever it is called

Sad to see Gordon go but it’s decent business for us. I think he will do very well at Barca.

To be honest I am not disappointed that he isn’t coming to Arsenal.

Was there ever any suggestion he would do?

There was a couple of rumblings a while ago, not much though to be fair. I just dint think he would be a good fit for us whereas I could see him do ok at Barcelona.

Nah. He's too nasty, cheaty, and divey. I wouldn't want him at my club.

😂😂😂

No. Wouldn’t fit in at Arsenal at all with that profile.

I wish him all the best at Barca. It’s a great move for him. I hope he does well. And that we spend the money wisely.

Definitely wouldn’t want Rashford though, bad attitude, bit like Aubameyang.

Though by all accounts he does turn up on time.

This made me laugh from the Asenal PL winning thread:

The whole of England supported Aston Villa and they won the Europa League
The whole of England supported Crystal Palace and they won the Conference League
Over to you PSG, the whole of England are supporting you.

This is a good article.

Well he’s one step better than Aubameyang.

That about sums it up. I am sure if by some miracle we win then there will be more of the same after the title win.

But who cares? I love Arsenal and everything about it. Even Arteta has becoming less annoying now.

I couldn’t care less. Awww I’ve always had a soft spot for Arteta, those deep brooding eyes 😍.

Well said, Jason - he’d be very out of place 😂😂

Me too! He is quite handsome.

He is but I prefer Xhaka but there isn't much in it.

But he did say some embarrassing things in the past but hopefully he's learnt from that now.

Arteta was a whiny player and he is a whiny manager but he has done very well for Arsenal who believed him in and spent plenty of money.

I do hope you beat PSG

Where is the Arteta money

Not good reading for Everton fans

Whiny, Arteta….. no! I won’t have a word said against him.

Cue keyboard warriors adding VARsenal to their equally "witty" LiVARpool! (Although the stats never have borne out the LiVARpool moniker - but who cares about facts when they're talking bollocks football, eh!)
