I'm not sure, and I'm happy to be corrected, that I can think of a single goal against us last season that was as a result of a "lapse in concentration"

Against us, no. For us, yes. Arsenal fans are still volcanic about when he stopped to say hello to a pigeon and we rolled the ball into the net.

I will continue to say, and you guys can believe me or not, but clubs aren't interested in Dibling anywhere near the price we want. His sojourn to Chelsea has flashed up too many red flags. 

He will still be owned by Southampton next year.

If you're asking, yes, we can't get him back on loan.

Autism is not determined by professionals

That makes no sense whatsoever.  Hair colour and height are visible and obvious, autism often isn't and therefore the decision on whether to share it or not is entirely up to the individual.

Anyway, I'm calling bollocks on the whole thing - I suspect Tyler hasn't had a diagnosis and it's probably pointless speculation.

Very much this. Autism is something determined by professional psychologists in tests and face-to-face consultations, not by randoms on the internet.

I would give this years kits (third to follow), a 7/10. Pretty good. Perhaps a poll by someone who knows their @rse from their elbow, might be an idea.

Is that so rare? Or is everyone here unaware of their arses and elbows?

I'm certain Fernandes is going to be a top player and will continue on his upward trajectory. He is just that type of player who knuckles down, works hard, improves, knows what he needs to do and gets on with it. Dibling still needs some major polishing, nurturing and cajoling and much of his future will depend on his attitude and whether his next move, whenever that may be, is right for him. He has the potential to eclipse Fernandes but may not do so for various reasons. If we theoretically are going to lose one or the other right now I'd probably prefer to keep Fernandes.

I would imagine that once Puma realise that our catchment area includes Bath and half of the Isle of Wight, we'll get at least an equal deal as City's. 

Oh hadn't thought of that. You're right. 

I see Man City have just signed a £1bn deal with Puma over the next ten years. Even if our deal is, say, two-thirds of that I'm looking forward to this being a productive and spendy relationship.

But we need a new corrections officer in the Saintsweb grammar police and I thought he was well in root to promotion.

Edit: Champions hasn't applied to Rangers for a while outside their seasonal aspirations.

Thus proving Karl Marx right again: "History repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce." Let's see - I have a feeling it won't be far off.

Would be the death knell for his career. In his position on the RW they have Saka, Nwaneri, and they're about to sign Madueke. In the 10, they have Odegaard, Havertz, Nwaneri might end up there eventually, and have already committed to wunderkind Max Dowman (15) being in the first team squad next season. 

Doesn't ring true to me.

Good analysis as it turns out.. There was a conversation between Arsenal and Dibling's agent a few days ago, but the signing of Madueke has killed it. I was surprised when the interest came up, because the effort to sign Madueke was quite advanced, but there you go - all's well that ends well. Dibling isn't going to be seen folding bibs at London Colney.

Fernandes, for me, is guaranteed to be in the Championship player of the season stakes if he stays. Mind you I thought same of Charlie. Keep him and we have a title winning contenders team. Sell him and bets are off.

My personal opinion : if MF, AR and THB stay we will be promoted. 100%. 
oops Sry wrong thread ! 

Don't worry - it's only at the top of the page, where it will stay forever.

Arsenal are in for Dibling godammit
