By Tony Attwood

No one quite knows what “We’ve got our Arsenal back” means, although clearly it has some sort of relationship with an Arsenal club or team from the past which is now back playing once again. Although not exactly the same players of course, for that would be silly.

Sometimes one is forced to stop and think, “Who pays the players?” and “Who has to keep paying players even when they are injured in an international match?”

Sir Hardly Anyone explores drainpipe theory with Marianna Trench.

Yes media drainpipe after media drainpipe (the things those quaint little bloggettas call outlets) are all shouting out the same story-story. That Arsenal are going to sign Ismaila Sarr and Kai Havertz.
