That's not true. Chelsea has a £500m bench.

2023 saw a bunch of amazing signings, a ton of progress with the squad, a league a reason where we boat raced every team in the league that doesn't have a £500m bench. we're back in the champions leag

Disappointing outcome, but I had an unbelievable experience last night.   Took a stadium tour before the game.   Watched from the North End nosebleed, and would do it all again in a heartbeat.

From the club 

🚨 Arsenal statement:

“Arsenal Football Club wholeheartedly supports Mikel Arteta’s post-match comments after yet more unacceptable refereeing and VAR errors on Saturday evening.

“We’d also like to acknowledge the huge effort and performance from our players and travelling supporters at St James’ Park.

“The Premier League is the best league in the world with the best players, coaches and supporters, all of whom deserve better. PGMOL urgently needs to address the standard of officiating and focus on action which moves us all on from retrospective analysis, attempted explanations and apologies.

“We support the ongoing efforts of Chief Refereeing Officer, Howard Webb and would welcome working together to achieve the world-class officiating standards our league demands.”

Incoming statement from PGMOL:

”Um… yeah…. Bruno should have seen a red in the first half, and the goal shouldn’t have counted for 1) the ball going out of play in the buildup, 2) a foul on the defender, and 3) offsides. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to count our Riyals from our working holiday.”

Yikes.

He also got a really nice ball from Rice towards the end and his first touch was Zardes-esque and clanks out for a goal kick.  Until Partey and Odegaard are back or we upgrade in the winter Arsenal are stuck with him playing lots of minutes.   Z hasn’t been real good,this season but I’d rather see him in the midfield at this point.

Clubs can’t bar players from international matches, but damn if we don’t all know exactly how this is going to go: he’ll return in Jan 2024, play a few matches as a sub to gain fitness before heading off to AFCON, where he’ll suffer a season-ending injury or aggravate the current one.  
 

His skill set is unique, but Arteta built his MF around a guy made of glass. Long past time to find a replacement.

 I’m sure he is listed as being worth more but who’d pay anything north of 10 maybe 15m

Doubt we'd get 10m.  Maybe 5 if we're lucky.  Dude is elite when be healthy, but the best ability is availability. He, sadly, has very little availability.

Mikel Arteta will make a late call on the fitness of Bukayo Saka for Saturday’s game against Burnley.

Bukayo came off in the 85th minute of Wednesday’s 2-0 win at home to Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League, and Mikel is hopeful that it’s nothing serious.

“B had to leave the pitch because he was in quite a lot of pain,” he explained. “He trained yesterday and lets see if he can make it tomorrow.”

In terms of the rest of the team news, Mikel confirmed that Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey are both definitely unavailable, while Emile Smith Rowe will “probably” miss out as well.

“There might be a few more,” he added. “A few are still in contention. We need to give them 24 more hours to give them a chance to be involved in the game, but we won’t know anything until tomorrow.”

Asked to expand on Thomas' situation, Mikel said: "He’s progressing really well but it was a significant injury. Hopefully it’s going to be weeks and not months and he’s working towards that. He needs support and hopefully the injury will heal in the right way and we’ll have him back, because he’s a big player for us.

As for the latest on Martin Odegaard, he added: "He’s still racing (against the clock). He’s trying everything that he can so let’s see. It’s a possibility."
