Just saw the presser, he said it's a small fracture, whatever comfort that might offer.
Mik Merino
QuincyAbeyie Oof what an own goal.

Lads, go out and drink a beer, light a jizzler, whatever... Beefing about a lack of action tonight, perceived or otherwise, isn't going to change the reality of it. It's really not worth winding yourselves up about.
Brighton tomorrow is what counts. I don't think we've even got a match thread yet!
Two very good signings this summer solving two big problem areas. Easy 7/10 window for me. Biggest downside is Merino potentially being out longer than a month.
RocktheCasbah this.
I'm sure some will disagree with me on this but I find it difficult to be too vexed with the knowledge of where we've been for the last decade or so. We're a serious side now with an improving squad. Yes, we're all disappointed about our attacking options but there is so much to be positive about.
Don Pacifico exactly.
I've said elsewhere that it is underwhelming we haven't got the difference maker we wanted, so I'm not trying to brush it under the carpet but I can't get on board with a "we're all doomed" mindset. We're a fucking great team, just needing a little bit of magic sauce. That's all it is.
Anyway, just to prove I'm practising what I preach, I'm off to go and play snooker now. Have great evenings everyone.
Mate sorry but you are not a winner though and are happy with second place and finishing trophyless year after year. So there is no jeopardy with you. You would keep Artera for ten years if he didn’t win anything.
As I told you when I said Raya will be undisputed number 1 I’m telling you again that we are fucked with no attacking signing.
You won’t know until it hits you in the face but we may have just missed out on a window to be champions in the first time in 21 years.
I’m pissed off because this is a once in a generation opportunity to do something and we’ve pissed it away.

I'm sorry, but I must ask: You are aware that you don't play for the team, right?
If the hobby of watching Arsenal games is making you unhappy, then you should get a different hobby.
I’ve watched football for 35 years and followed Arsenal for 30. I know how this story ends without having to read the book. The league title challenge died tonight.

Mate I get what you mean overall but you said that for the past 3 seasons...
Sicario2 - Tier 1 you are not a winner
You win the jackass award.

My point was that whether or not the team wins does not affect whether or not any of the fans is a "winner" or anything. They just don't play for the team. It's weird to personalize things like that.
For what it's worth, by baseline expectation for the season is that we will have one of the best teams (if not the best team) in the history of Arsenal FC and probably not win the PL or CL. Being an Arsenal fan is not the same as being a Real Madrid fan. Unclear where some of these expectations are coming from.
And we haven’t won the title yet
Go fuck yourself you little cunt

I've said none of these things. I'm just being pragmatic.
I'm disappointed with this window but what's the point in getting exorcised about it?
