{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Matchday 5 - Quick Round Up
25 Sep 2025 09:47:36
WATCHED the arsenal game ed. Yes folk say they had most possesion. But they were clueless all game. There's no way they're winning that league.
{Ed001's Note - give them a decent manager and they would have a chance, but not with Arteta, he is deluded.}
25 Sep 2025 10:39:01
Ed, well summed up.
How are your mum and dad enjoying Dubai? I believe you posted they were going for a month.
{Ed001's Note - they are here on Monday mate. But they do love it out here, they come for a month at least once a year, this will be the second time this year though. Just so much to see and do here that we never get round to all the stuff.
And thank you mate. How are things back in sunny Scotland?}

Really enjoy your round ups Ed001, that must be the strongest Arsenal squad for a very long time mate, Arteta wins nothing can't see him managing Arsenal next season, been thinking the same the last couple right enough, Sunderland unlucky not picking up the three points, had a red card in that game but didn't want Sunderland getting it, players doing something as stupid as him must do the manager heads in.
{Ed001's Note - thank you My star. I have though Arteta would struggle to win the title from the moment I heard him speak. He is not right in the head, he makes David Brent seem like a great leader. That's why he had to clear out all the experienced heads early, as they were all just laughing at him when he was doing those insane things. I mean what kind of idiot just sits and eats a full chicken at half-time, when your team are losing, without saying a single word. The team were bewildered and unsurprisingly failed to turn it around. And that light bulb thing has to be the biggest cringe moment of all time.}

I'd take mikel arteta as our Rangers manager/ head coach My star, wouldn't you mate ?.
25 Sep 2025 11:07:11
I'm hearing that Russell tried copying Artetta and got tore into a full carrot at half time.
25 Sep 2025 11:13:29
I'm in Northern Ireland.
We've had a lovely summer. long, hot days with little to no rain. Even now, heading into late September, it's still very sunny.
{Ed001's Note - sorry mate, never realised you were there. Always nice when you get a long summer in the UK.}
25 Sep 2025 11:22:16
Sws nope mate, he can't win anything with a squad full of top players.
25 Sep 2025 11:42:29
Coops I'd bite yer hand off to have arteta mate u think he's a cracking manager.
Winning trophies these days in England is like a lottery apart from the league, that always goes to the best team clearly.
So many good players in that league that the smallest team can beat the biggest on their day.
Arteta has a a very good young manager and will only get better.
He has no excuses now that he's got the no 9.
Liverpool and Arsenal have the 2 best squads in the league. Arsenal have a better squad of defenders Liverpool better squad of strikers.
I'd say Arsenal have better squad of mf's too so he has no excuses now now.
{Ed001's Note - he kept selling number 9s, the only reason Arsenal never had one is because he didn't want one.}
25 Sep 2025 11:50:46
I'm saying no, yes and have him at Rangers sws.
25 Sep 2025 12:05:29
I'm probably having an Arteta moment you guys but with all the crap you're enduring, I hope you horrible lot get a decent result tonight (something's stuck in my throat ?) .
All the best.
25 Sep 2025 12:35:45
Think big part of it was Jesus injury as well Ed, gyokores could be what they're missing. That and the depth of the squad is just breathtaking. Really is unbelievable.
{Ed001's Note - Jesus is terrible and not a 9. The issue is and always has been Arteta.}
25 Sep 2025 12:44:14
Arteta has done brilliantly to turn Arsenal around from where they were, Amorim is currently showing how hard that can be at a big club, but I'm not sure he has the mentality to take that final step and win the big prizes. He has massive attacking talent at his disposal now but I'm not sure that he is willing to release the hand brake and let them play .
25 Sep 2025 12:53:30
First time I've seen these ratings and info and its very good indeed, i take my hat off to you for that, very good reading indeed.
25 Sep 2025 13:00:54
Don't think they had a proper decent 9 since Aubamayang and he had a bad attitude so was right to let go. Not totally convinced by their new guy but think Arteta has done a good job. Just not been able to get over the line but been up against some quality teams in City and Liverpool so no real shame. Think this season he has to deliver something tho.
25 Sep 2025 13:06:44
Troubles are deeper than the manager at Manchester Utd wslgers, Arsenal have one of the strongest squads in the world right now.
25 Sep 2025 14:29:14
Brilliant read Ed ?
Hope your parents enjoy dubai again mate. Your spot on in regards to so much to do, would need a few months to get through it all.
Any new news on your gf getting over mate?
{Ed001's Note - thanks mate. Her eldest is taking her to Macau in March or April to get a stamp in her passport. Try again after that.}
25 Sep 2025 14:41:55
Fu£% you, a mean thank you come in peace ?? watched your game last night mate, thought you guys were poor apart from 10 mins in 2nd half. What did you think? Big arnatouvic looks as though he still has plenty to offer. Maeda looks way off it. Good point in the end. Atmosphere was brilliant, considering stadium was half empty.
25 Sep 2025 14:45:19
Fair enough he's done well to turn them around, but the money he's spent wasn't to turn them around, it was to win titles and trophies guys.
25 Sep 2025 15:43:41
Sods law Ed, good luck next attempt must be brutal mate.
{Ed001's Note - cheers mate. Fingers crossed.}
25 Sep 2025 16:04:50
BB, 2nd half better old bean. Agreed re Maedain but Hatate is a waste of a jersey. We're stinkin' tbh.
25 Sep 2025 16:18:39
Maybe jesus should went to boots for a liquid iv too stevie,
i find arteta quite strange sometimes, it's incredible he has amassed a vast amount of talent and still always looks like he will be runner up, and a breakdown is never far away.
25 Sep 2025 17:20:40
I wouldn't take arteta as our coach either. Never liked him as a coach.
