You are fortunate to have the front two you have they have carried your side, our strikers are useless
There's been rumours linking Lacazette to Barcelona. Hope there's nothing true about this, as Arsenal really needs him and Aubameyang going forward – preferably in a front two together.
On to the Champions League final next month!!
He will get another job no problem
I know he had a run of poor results but I genuinely do not see the benefit of this decision? If it continued 10 games into the new season? Fair enough, but I think this is a poor decision right now.
He definitely will. He really made the most out of that squad.
Agree. Really don't see why they went through with this; keeping them up is an achievement in itself, and a bit of backing in the transfer market in the summer could make a difference, IMO.
Apparently the chairman does not trust Hughton to spend money that's why he was sacked.
Don't know how things are done at Brighton, but in most clubs, deciding which players to spend money on isn't the managers decision alone?

That's why I said apparently, it's a Daily Star story ;)
Ah, then we can take things with a grain of salt! Surely there's some backroom people overseeing the transfer decisions alongside the manager. From the article it almost sounds like Hughton got a budget from the owner, with a message of just spending it as wisely as possible.
Arsenal issues statement on the Europa League final. Will be interesting to see if Chelsea does the same.
I'm not surprised by the results anymore though. Putting on a defender when you're 0-2 at home says it all.
I am not even sure what I am looking at, that looks horrendous
It's incredible how UEFA can go through with a final, and "only make a maximum of 6,000 tickets available to Arsenal for a stadium with a capacity of well over 60,000." Same for Chelsea fans of course.
On top of that, Arsenal are also awaiting guarantees from UEFA that it will be safe for Mkhitaryan to travel to Baku. He wasn't part of the team that played against Qarabag earlier in the competition because of the same issue. It will be bad news for Arsenal if they can't include him in the squad, as he's played a part for them in the EL campaign.

I feel for the guy, I had a similar injury, and so close to the Europa League final.
I fear it will be a somewhat indifferent atmosphere given how few tickets both team have available for their fans. We can only hope things go well for fans travelling, and that the game will become the final it deserves to be - or as close as possible at least.
…and just as importantly that there will be a solution to the Mkhitaryan situation.
He's really been unlucky with injuries. Looks like a real talent too. How did this type of injury affect you, @Fire_and_Ice_Returns?
Mkty certainly will need protection and assurances.
It was a cycling injury, could hardly walk for three months and had rehab for at least three months after I also had tissue damage around my ankle. Loftus Cheeks sounds worse than what I had, and him being an Elite sportsman a year out sounds about right. I was paranoid to cycle or go running for quite a while after and still get pain there, though I use the exercises I learnt through rehab most days.
Don't know what the club fear can happen, but it's difficult that a player's safety is an issue at all.
It certainly seems like a nasty injury to go through, especially when it impacts your daily life like that – also afterwards. It does make you think how the injuries athletes go through will affect their lives after their sporting careers. Tore André Flo for example, has had hip replacement.
Wear and tear can impact though sports science is much better than it was, admittedly alot of it is down to how you manage yourself also. We see it all the time with footballers having to adapt there game due to injury and age
Indeed, sports science have certainly improved, and players are much more aware on how to take care of themselves. You don't see "heavy drinkers" in modern day football for example.
The benefit of the heavy drinking is they did not feel the injuries :)) the 60's, 70's and 80's was very different for sure.
When I was a kid in the 80's there was none of this having to pay for games, admittedly there were not as many games shown
Hahaha, you might be right about that! Different times indeed.
I really don't like that you have to pay all those different broadcasters to access the football you want to see. Right now we have TV2 with the PL, EL and international games coverage, as well as half of the CL games. Viasat have the rest of the CL games, Championship/ League One and Two, The League Cup, FA Cup, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Eurosport have the Eliteserien games, while Primera Division and Serie A is only available by a streaming service (I think).
You have some games available via the regular TV subscriptions of course, while the majority is only available through various (added) subscriptions or streaming services the broadcasters offer. Those aren't cheap!

Re. injuries, this is fantastic news! The amount of injury troubles Santi Cazorla's been through is unbelievable, and to see him playing regular football again is really great. Wish he was still an Arsenal player.
Good news about Cazorla, before his injury I think he was one of your best players for a few seasons, you were tougher to beat when he played
Do you ever listen to ‘Athletico Mince’? Bob Mortimer does a running gag about Santi Cazorla running a prank/joke shop emporium. If you’re into his kind of humour it’s utterly amazing.
I am a fan of Vic and Bob I will look out for it, I like surreal daft humour
Just added it to my Podcast library
He was excellent, and Arsenal do miss his qualities in midfield. I hope they manage to find a player like him sometime in the future. Have my doubts they'll look at midfield this transfer window.
Added to my podcast library as well! Thanks, @RC7!
Surely they will have to replace Ramsey, read early Arsenal are in discussions about Mkty not travelling at all
