    Interesting take on things... But I don't think there is 1 million subscribers in Scotland; that would mean every household has a Sky TV subscription. I do think that, with their rise in profits, Scottish football should have an increase. What we receive is just ridiculous.

    It's an original point but apart from that and you are right: we deserve more. Just to look at it from another perspective. Scotland makes up just under 10% of the U.K. Population. We can easily assume we have just under 10% of the Sky subscribers in the UK, all things being equal. But we earn less than 1% of England money.

    In sure there are business reasons for to consider but it still seems outrageously disproportionate.

    Keep up he blogging.

    City will easily win the league next season. Gabriel Jesus, Aguero, De Bruyne, Sterling, Sane, David Silva, Bernardo Silva, I mean come on that's a ridiculous attack. Also seems highly likely they'll sign Mendy from Monaco too who's an absolute monster of a full-back, then there's the goalkeeper Ederson and Gundogan still to come back. While they're linked to Van Dijk, Bonucci, Walker, William Carvalho and Sanchez in some of the papers. Pep will get it right next season and they'll win the league in the same fashion Chelsea won it this year.

    As much as I think he should've walked, It would be good to see Wenger go out winning the title.

    Seen they were linked to Mahrez, should sign him and go for Griezmann or Mbappe. Would be a class frontline to watch, with Sanchez in there also. Cost a * ton mind, but got to imagine they'll spend big this season.

    They would still need at least one midfielder though and a couple of defenders, quite a bit off winning the league.

    Griezmann to United looks set in stone now, couldn't imagine him turning down CL footy and bessie mate Pogba for the sake of Arsenal. Plus he'd get far more cash at United, which always helps.

    They should stay the * away from Mahrez. Signings like that are a large part of why they are where they've been for years. They need a top striker, a beast in midfield and a whole defence/keeper as Cech is on the decline. Said it before but they * up massively letting big Vic go to Spurs.

    Weren't they pinning their hopes on Vardy last season?

    Aye and brought in Perez who seemed destined to be a flop. Even Bony would be an upgrade on what they have. Could take a gamble on Sturridge if they bring in someone reliable. Mandzukic?

    Not too sure on Mandzukic, hasn't been particularly prolific since his Bayern days. Also doesn't fit the age profile of a typical Arsenal buy.

    Lacazette has been staring them in the face for ages, seems a perfect fit but Aulas would probably demand 5-10 million more than Wenger would be willing to pay.

    Arsenal really need to sign quality but think Wenger will go for the cheaper players, don't see them getting top 4 this season.

    Been reading the rumours on sky and the money for average to good players is just disgusting, any player linked with a top 6 side you're talking minimum £50million

    If Arsenal can get Mbappe or Benzema then things could get interesting.

    Doubt oul Karim would move when they aren't in the CL, however.

    What about injuries, other clubs strengthening and loss of form?

    Can't see beyond Chelsea and Conte again next season tbh. His style of play is perfect for the EPL.

    Ok then, provided they don't get a few serious injuries to their key players (i.e the same luck Chelsea/Leicester have had in that regard in the past couple of seasons) then I expect them to win the league and do it by getting in and around the 90 points mark.

    Claude Puel sacked by Southampton. Not too much of a surprise.

    If they did it a couple of weeks ago they might have got Marco Silva in.
