One could say Jesus hasnt been the same since his serious imjury in 2022.
Sad, i really wanted him to do well.
Timber should be playing only next year. Do pre season.
U dont want him to get re injured, That will destroy his career.
Why is your tv so small? I always wanted to ask. Noone even buys anything less than 50inch and i dont even live in England anymore.
We nbeed all four of these to compete for PL and CL.
Partey especially we need as we will become ridiculously hard to beat once Havertz is thrown way out of the first team
Hey charles im 100% with you on the isak shout. I would have him over toney and osimhen any day of the week
Arteta continues to catastrophic mistake after catastrophic mistake in the transfer market.
We could have gotten Sbotszlai/Milinkovic Savix together woth Kudus for same money as Havertz with less wages.
Havertz signinf jas basically set us back 2 full years just like Ben White as CB was catastrophic failure for top 4.
Arteta.actually has already replaced Ben White already anyway woth Timber
Arteta everytime you allow him to choose a carte blanche signinf its a tradgedy.
William
Mari
Fabio
Havertz
Arteta is a scared.manager….he always marginalizes certain players and scared to make changes
I can't help but feel the confidence of the squad is so much higher when the whole team is running and purring. It's amazing that they're in the table where they are. With strategic summer singings of a DM and a striker we will be really going places.
ESR is the prine exampme of why all Arsenal acedemy player KNOW there is no route to first tream under Arteta. He is a diagraceful manager for Arsenal.
Not a single acedemy player brought through after 4 years
Don't want to hear anything about Partey anymore.
Hi charles i do like smith Rowe very much but injuriey is hampering he progress and is treating his carer
Hello Gooners, Charlies have a great weekend happy Friday.Coygs three points please.Thankscfor content Charlies keep up the great work from Irish gooner Liverpool ☘️🤙
Charles just pop into screwfix and grab some cable trunking.
Come on Charles get some trunking for the tv wires. Thanks for all the Arsenal talk👍🏾
Can we start a GOFUNDME page to help Charles with these cables, my OCD is killing me😂
Those wires are iconic at this point
I would go with the Liverpool set up for this game. Newcastle press well so we’ll need Jorgy and Rice in the midfield with Kai’s physicality upfront. Martinelli over Trossard to give Tippier something to think about as he’s their main creator.
It would be good for Joe Willock to feature at his old home. That being said we'll only applaud after the match as long as it's a win for the Gunners and a loss for the Geordies.
Brutal that Tomi somehow played for Japan but now not fit enough to play for the club that pays his wages lol. 😢
Hi Charles, do you reckon that playing Porto days before Newcastle is a blessing in disguise? I mean this in that Porto’s antics will be fresh in the players’ minds, meaning they will hopefully be even more prepared for Newcastle’s ‘housery.
I also thought I’d quickly ask if you’d heard Luke Williams’ comments on Patino – I think they made for good reading regarding his positive thoughts on Charlie and what he needs to do to get back in the squad!
Charles, do you know what trunking is?
Never change those tv cables there’s something reassuring about seeing your favourite show with familiar surroundings 👍 📺
Mikel must give chances to the young boys if he want to succeed
Those bloody cables
I’ve never heard of Arsenal, I just subscribe to the channel for the cables.
We recreate that same atmosphere like the liverpool game everytime then i dont think any team leaving that ground with nothing but a beatdown.. It was so loud it felt like my TV was shaking we need that same atmosphere now until the end of the season. It's us against the world cos the hate towards the club is unreal..
Bearing in mind the amount that Smith Rowe has played I would be tempted to use him to sub Martinelli when he enters the tire phase of his game, last 15 of the game. I fancy Eddie for half an hour, replacing Trossard. I am sure it will be a tough plysical match, so the crowd's support is key. We are our 12th man! COYG.
0-0 draw is for sure. Newcastle will defend well
Tomiyasu should not be given a new contract. This is absurd.
Honestly
Time to move on Party, Zinny, Jesus and Tomiasu.
CONSTANTLY INJURED
The more often a team has to bounce back, the deeper the mud will embrace them. Wenger was on a every other game bounceability when the board decided to pull the plug for the life support machine.
Hi Charles, Arteta needs to learn to trust his subs and I feel that cost us on Wednesday. The lack of rotation not only tires the first team but also reduces the confidence and match fitness, development of the subs. No great team has a squad full of absolute superstars and has some subs who can come in to at least sustain the fitness. The season is a journey, not a sprint.
I really like your wires Chaz!
Hi Charles 👋, I hope all is good 👋 👍 😊 😀 ☺️ 🙏. After a disappointing result for Arsenal against Porto. The Gunners needs to put it behind them and focus on beating Newcastle United. COYG to thrash Newcastle United God willing. Have a good day Charles 😊. Arsenal rocks 🏆 🙏 🤲 🪨 🎸 😎.
I’m worried about the Newcastle game a low block and ability to hit us on the counter is our worst nightmare . We really do lack strength, so many players were truly awful against Porto be we had nothing on the bench to help us !
Surely for Partety and Timber they would be getting minutes in the U23s before being ready?

"just rip the tv off the wall" well put Charles. Love your content, go Gooners!
Bruno ‘forearm smash’ Guimares
I dont know what Arteta can do or what will he do I am worried as we dont have a bench he will need to do somthing to freshen things up and I hope the squads energy is up and all good rested well and ready to score and win
Do you think that Arsenal are doing what City have been doing for years and hitting the peak at the right time? We usually struggle after new year but we have been great this time. I'd like to think we are just hitting our stride at the right time. i'd also try ESR against Newcastle.
He should start the 11 that started in Porto
Great content Charles, love watching every day. Do you think tomorrow night is the perfect dress rehearsal for the 2nd leg against Porto, with the way Newcastle played last year at Emirates(pretty much expecting the same antics)? Will be interesting to see how we cope this year with it, massive game. 💪👍
Typical anti football, boring, unadventurous, frustrating Newcastle low block coming……. even though Eddie Howe has said he's coming to win.
Move over Spring Watch and Autumn Watch, it's back to Cable Watch.
My starting 11……
Raya.
Kiwior.
Gabriel.
Saliba.
White.
Rice.
Smith Rowe.
Odegaard.
Gabby M.
Havertz.
Saka.
Don’t the national team care about the welfare of their players? Who does it benefit to play a half injured Tomi into the ground? We definitely should not renew his contract. Get some players who can actually deal with the rigours of professional football, and don’t have to go put their already fragile bodies on the line for a chance at the 30th whatever most prestigious cup in the world. We need players who prioritise Arsenal and can stay fit.
