Bless you Tom … competitivit??? 😂
For me, I would go for Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord. Mexican, 22 years old, 6ft, scoring goals. Strikers from Eredivisie can do well in the Prem. I think we need a striker, winger, two midfielders and a left back (Hato of Ajax). Exciting times!
Suspension and punishment doesn't make for teams who don't deserve to lose or win get undone respectively
He'll bring the team down 😅 my opinion
I think 70-80m for Ollie Watkins is better business than Ivan Toney (no personality issues.)
I want a striker that creates and scores and he's Premier League proven.
Outside of Mbappe (😅) Ollie Watkins is the one I'd sign.
Investing in youth is not just a way to get future top players into the club, it's also a clever way to beat the P&S rules by grabbing the best talent, teaching and training them, and selling several of them for £m''s.
I don't care how many goals Watkins scores, he is not good for the Arsenal

If you are a lover of football you would watch all levels of football kids youth grassroots and women’s football for which is getting better every season
My worry is that when Jesus is back to being fully fit he replaces Havertz in the starting lineup. For me we have improved with Kai up front/false nine
I look forward to seeing Ange Postecoglou getting the Manager of the Month award.
Would you buy the other Bellingham
💯 take Watkins at arsenal
ESR + cash for Ollie Watkins?
Love the show Tom, thanks for the daily updates and dedication that goes into your channel.
As always up the arsenal ⚽️
Aces show
Do people really think of what they are asking before they put the comment up!!
Hi Tom I was Arteta out because of his arrogance and inexperience I’m warming to him as results are getting better I’d like to debate you on your show 🤷🏽♂️
The ref made a mistake agreed but anyone saying thinking that mistake lead to Liverpool winning the game is mad. There was 2 minutes after that mistake and forest had loads of chances to get rid of the ball and stop Liverpool but didn't. Forest messed up the game last minute not the ref. Come on stop trying to find an excuse
Tom tbf if you have timestamps to avoid ladies content people shouldn’t complain people are hear for the men’s content tho no disrespect to ladies football as the skill level is a lot lower than the men’s 🤷🏽♂️
On the women’s football thing, the fella that commented should be able to express his opinions. Now as you said we don’t have to agree with it but if we live in country where we have free speech that means free for everyone. Not just the people we agree with.
Loving this show, so glad to be seeing 1k on each episode now! Always watch the watch up, waiting for the day I get to actually tune in for 8:00!🎉
Porto beat Benfica 5-0 on the weekend… My nerves for Champions League are shot!
Because of your show Iv started taking an interest in the women’s team. Come on Arsenal!
Tom, I care about The Arsenal, men’s first team, women’s team, the academy and the youngsters. You continue to talk about the women’s team bro. We are TGT! PS, I look forward to a girl’s team at the academy.
Spending heavily on youth? Maybe going for the younger Sesko/Zirkzee would be my guess. We will see
Arsenal should get guendouzi and Victor osimhen and zuibamedi
My wife and I are huge fans of Arsenal’s women’s team. Forget the haters. Keep celebrating them 🎉
Arsenal should get Matteo Guendouzi or martin zubimendi and a central forward
My only Guendouzi regret is we did get a higher fee for him. Imagine we sold him when he highly rated.
Ketelaere would be an incredible transfer. If Arteta and Edu are convinced they can use a Kai clone effectively it could be amazing to have twin towers both comfortable at forward or midfield. 3:13
Ødegaard
😱 Tom you didn’t mention Rice as potential player of the season
I honestly believe Arteta would have done a better job integrating Chelsea expensive youth players to get the best out of them if they were at Arsenal. Like Enzo, Mudryk, Jackson to name a few.
Hear me out. Is there a chance that Real Madrid my part ways with some of there young guys? Team is loaded but not guaranteed them minutes. Brahim Diaz, Aurelian Tchouameni, Rodrygo,Arda Guler, maybe Camavinga. Especially if rumors are that Mpabbe and I wouldn’t mind if Arsenal try to negotiate to bring him is going to Madrid.
Did you know we have scored more away goals than manu's total goals?😂😂😂
Great show mate!
Great comment about the womans team, he dont speak for 99.9% of Arsenal fans ,Mudryk a wonder kid who hasnt succceded ,But i still have a sneeky feeling we will get him,although not for £100 mill
Guendouzi?
And good morning Tom!!!
Yeah, it wasn’t a subjective error the ref made. It was a rule that he mucked up! Some sort of action should be taken in this case.
Guendouzi sounds to have matured. Good sentiment from him.
Love your answear to the comment of Arsenals womanteam.
They actually deserve more minutes of attention from you pundits and the press.
Thanks for another great show, @Tom. COYG

Tom, while I appreciate your ‘fair-play’ call on Guendouzi, I am still of the opinion that the player didn’t/does not have the character or the mental strength to be a Gunner.
Saying you dont care about the womens team isnt sexist.
He never said it was specifically becaus they are women.
Like i personally dont care about the womens side so does that make me sexist as well.
Feel like your reading into it to much tbh. Sure its douchy of himself to say it in the first place, ya gonna talk about what ya want to talk about but anumything thays slightly negative towards the female team isnt sexist.
His reason could be because he is sexist but he never clarified what his reasons were and the reasons given are not sexist. He just doesnt care.
Great show as always. Gotta get the hats part of the match going fans a tire . Sorry for the spelling I'm dyslexic so I can recognise a tire not spelt correct.
Analysis is a process of thinking, which is difficult and takes a lot of work – which is why most can’t do it & fall back on cliches instead!
Not sure what happened in Dubai between Guendouzi and Mikel, but I was always of the opinion that Guendouzi was the only player in the then fairly spineless (as in fight) Arsenal team to stick up for Leno and have a pop at that class A shithouse Maupay.
Even stranger that he is now going to VAR our game after already favouring Liverpool. A title rival!
Ferguson does well for Arsenal in My FM24 game but not until 2026!
