Arsenal were absolutely shambolic in a loss to Hibs. Missed 3 sitters my nan would have belted in, a pen, and the keeper made an absolute howler to let in a goal. Arteta is my favourite to get the first sacking of the season.I still cannot fathom how we keep losing to these cunts. I would LOVE to see Arse and Spuds get relegated in a couple years. Banter FC's

Shittest thing is it could happen again on matchday 2 as they have most of their players back early while a lot of ours at the Euro's so will come back late.

Just the English lads and Jorginho. We should be fine I reckon.

Arsenal going down would be life threateningly funny. Died laughing is not a bad way to go but Spurs being relegated would cost me too much. Can't live without my twice a season Spurs fix. Impossible.

Meanwhile back to Hibs. Is mid July too soon for popcorn and AFTV?

Interesting to hear Kalasinac being described as crap. No Arsenal fan I know was having it when I told them he didn't look to be worth signing back when he was being linked with them. Come to think of it, back then quite a few on here weren't having it either.

Not sure how accurate this is because The Athletic just counted the three-week break period that is given to players after the Euros but here are the supposed returning dates of the players:

Ampadu - July 17

Kovacic, Kante - July 19

Werner, Havertz, Rudiger - July 20

Batshuayi - July 23

Christensen - July 24

Azpi - July 27

Silva - July 31

Chilwell, Mount, James, Jorginho, Emerson - August 1

The Athletic also mentioned that the club are likely to make tailored arrangements with certain players, notably Chilwell and James who spent most of the Euros on the bench. Players can also return to Cobham early if they want to.
