Arsenal aren't the same team as before..know crumbled last season but injuries and all. Its not like another team takes a lead and they run off and cant do anything. Don't think they'll win the league but be challenging again 

Yea I agree with that, they kept most of the team together from last season as well. 

The major difference being the upgrade in midfield as they have Rice instead of Xhaka.

Not sure if Mount is the right example as he rejected the opportunity to sign the long term contract, wanted a shorter deal. 

What I meant is that if the club already had him on a long term contract like James, he wouldn't have been able to push for a move so easily.

With all our new signings on long term contracts, the club is making sure they don't jump ship easily if the season becomes worse.

Fraudgate at the helm

‘Disrespected’ England stars should retire from international duty after latest Gareth Southgate snub, Rio Ferdinand says

https://metro.co.uk/2023/09/04/disrespected-england-stars-should-retire-after-gareth-southgate-snub-rio-ferdinand-says-19444330/

Rio Ferdinand says he would retire from England duty if he was continually overlooked by Gareth Southgate just like James Ward-Prowse and others have been.

 

Southgate named his Three Lions squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine and friendly with Scotland last week and, as per usual, it divided opinion.

Much of the discourse centered around the inclusion of Harry Maguire and Kalvin Phillips despite their lack of game time or form for Manchester United and Manchester City respectively over the course of the year.

The pair made the cut ahead of the likes of West Ham duo Ward-Prowse and Jarrod Bowen who have made a blistering start to this season, with the Irons fourth in the table and unbeaten after four games.

Midfielder Phillips getting in ahead of Ward-Prowse has really irritated fans, given that the former has played just six minutes this campaign, while the latter has one goal and four assists in four appearances for West Ham and former club Southampton.

‘I’ve never known a manager to pick players that are consistently not playing,’ former United and England defender Ferdinand fumed on the FIVE podcast.

‘I get it if a player hasn’t played for five, six or 10 games maybe. But Phillips and Maguire don’t kick a ball. They don’t play, they do warm-ups and they’re getting in England squads. It amazes me.

‘Southgate comes out and says we haven’t got defenders. Go and use a young one man! Go and use someone young or inexperienced who you’re thinking about. You know what Maguire does.

‘It’s a reward for performances playing for England. It’s the best players that are currently playing in their teams. Maguire don’t kick a ball. He comes on for cameos here and there.

‘Kalvin with respect isn’t anywhere near the Man City team. He won a treble last year and well done to him but he ain’t kicked a ball. These men ain’t playing football and they’re still getting in a team based off of work that they done two, three years ago.

‘They’ll be other young midfielders or [someone like] James Ward-Prowse that are thinking, “Wow, what’s happening here? How come I’m not getting a looking?”. It’s a kick in the teeth.’

There was also controversy over the selection of Jordan Henderson following his move to the Saudi Pro League and the exclusion of Raheem Sterling despite his fantastic form for Chelsea in the opening fixtures.

‘If I was Sterling, I’d be very disappointed bearing in mind what he’s done for this England team when he’s been in or around it,’ Ferdinand added.

‘If you’re going by the yard stick that Gareth’s using with the likes of Maguire and Phillips, why is it all right for them guys to get in and not him? Sterling’s probably been the main bright spark at Chelsea. It’s just nuts.

‘I’d retire. If I’m someone like Ward-Prowse I’d just retire. Say, “listen, don’t pick me no more. There’s no point. It’s disrespectful what you’re doing”.

‘It is to people like him, especially Ward-Prowse who’s been putting up numbers for his team on a regular basis. What more does a man got to do to get a sniff?’

Yeah, what JWP has to do to be there? Phillips doesn't even play and is always there and Gallagher level is not satisfactory.

If any of this has any truth that she was treated by ManUre doctors, the club is fucked. I honestly cannot see a team doctor getting involved in a domestic abuse situation.

Manure will get a slap on the wrist, whilst they, along with fellow untouchables Pool, Citeh, Arse, Spuds, etc (including the newly minted, trillions-backed, head chopper-owned NUFC) will do ANYTHING they can to get Chels booted out of the EPL for Boehly/Clearlake's splurging, and also fuelled by historical hatred of the dreaded Russian, Roman.
