As always Soph a first class listen, thank you for managing to get David on your show at a time when he is extremely busy. Big thanks to David for a compelling listen, I so hope those entitled FIFA and FM fans wanting a top striker now have had their ears wide open, there is always hope!
Wow! What a great show with Soph and David. Incredible insights - it’s so enjoyable when watching intelligent conversations and getting important perspectives about the transfer market and social media in the football industry.😊
Brilliant stuff Sophie thank you 🙏 ❤What a lovely man & so knowledgeable & balanced viewpoint. Really appreciate his & your time! Fingers crossed something happens for the arsenal in this transfer window
I think you Sophie ,Lee Judges and Charles Watts are true gunners and the go to for everything Arsenal. Down to earth and a good listen.Keep it going.Kevin is watching you with the Angels as we say in Ireland. God bless.
This message made me smile. Appreciate the kind words. I always try to respond. People take time out of their day to listen and I want them to know how grateful I am! 🫡
My dear Sophie, This stream was absolutely LIT! 🔥🎙⚽ Not just getting a top guest, which you do anyway on your channel. BUT to get David Ornstein on was just elite. I always listen to David when he is on Back Pages on Sky Sports especially. OF COURSE I hit the like button as well 🫡 I look forward to the sequel for when David does come back on again! ( Calendar permitting of course 😉) Love you Soph 🔴⚪❤
@@HighburySquad I know, it does come down to the essence of how people view football in fundamentally different ways, Wenger was similar, he viewed it as a sort of art where there was only good or bad performance and success was a matter of opinion.
What ornstein said pretty much fits with what I have been thinking the midfield rebuild will impact on our ability to sign the forwards we would like it will be 2 more seasons before we reach the level we are hoping for the mistakes in the market have significantly delayed our ability to reach the heights as quickly as we would have liked.
So sorry that I missed the show live, I was really looking forward to it but have had to make do with catch up. Negative out the way first, I had to turn the chat off. Talk about blaming the weather presenter for bringing unwanted reports, jeez! As if David is responsible for Arteta's appointment.😂 Look in the mirror and get a grip ppl! Positives. What a scoop. The hostess with the mostest. Fantastic performance, Sophie🎉. David,what a guest. Not only does he articulate extremely well with his informative responses, he also comes across as a fantastic human being. I absolutely loved the show Sophie, yet again, thank you❤🫡🫡
lol to turning live chat off! And thanks for the kind words on the interview. I had fun and appreciate you taking time out of your day to hang with us🫡
@HighburySquad ,hi Sophie First off it’s was fantastic hearing you on 4 days on the bounce 🎉,it’s been a crazy week from despair to elation and filled with the worst human behaviour and at the end the best human behaviour from Declan and Mikel and Tom C and Charles Watts who said something I think Tuesday about how he had said something years ago and how people ran with and now how peoples responses trigger the worst. But enough about that I hope Kai and his family will be ok I was listening to Tom C this morning and in 2 weeks I believe will see a new Arsenal from the 3rd of February because I believe we will be whole again and filled with belief, think you will figure it out because I believe in what you also believe Talk soon and keep up the good work
Success is very easily defined at too big clubs, as we claim to be…it’s measured in trophies, not stats. For mid table clubs or lower, progress and statistical elements might be more definitive, but at Arsenal, silverware is the benchmark.
@@kyle_mutti nah dudes been his entire career without winning any trophy he’s ever started out for. As for the only other two (FT) managers: one was the best ever in our history who won more in his last five years that we protested to get him out for than this managers won in his first five that you’re saying is worth keeping. And the other is a guy who primed a far less talented team with significantly less money up to win the only title for Arteta. That one FA Cup, Arteta would never have won on his own, as he’s proved. Wasn’t his team. Wasn’t his tactics or formation. That was all Emery, in a fraction of the time with a fraction of the money. Please tell me, how does a manager make a team less successful over half a decade with near a billion pounds and still have a job? Nowhere else in history has that ever happened, and yet people still try to praise him for it? Haha there’s a joke in here somewhere, and only one of us is catching it.
Great scoop for Sophie! Een Jacobs is a relatively lucid & coherent voice also on Transfers and other football activity in the silly seasons. Ornstein & Jacobs are defo club shills + thats all part of the game. Still worth listening to, even if you discount 60-70% of it, Arteta has done well *BUT* he has not learnt - quickly enough - for the EPL. The AFC elite demand success & Ornstein's statements that it does not matter what the customers think is inside shill group-think. Its dead-wrong! If the fans rise up, they can crush the KSE business model - when done at scale. So thats simplistic diversion & distraction 101.
No David, we signed Havertz to play no 8. He wasn’t the plan, it just happened, but regardless, we can’t go forward with one option, that’s suicide for success
@ this last couple of months yes, he has missed some important moments! But David said no9, we didn’t sign Havertz for it originally, it was a solution to a problem but not a long term solution, he isn’t that guy. No hate on him, just can’t go forward with him as the only option, as i said
How can city sign marmoush then? They are ahead of Leipzig and Marmoush is 2nd top scorer in league just 1 goal behind Kane. How can they get him from Eintracht but we can't get sesko from RB Leipzig?
There could be no internal pressure on Mikel from the ownership, but his Arsenal legacy will be written by external opinions and 5 trophyless seasons given the investment is not a good account in every way you look at it.
Thank you for this one Soph! 🫡 dissapointing on the transfer news front but great to hear a reliable source to ground us. Guess potential signings are just false dreams of mine 😂
my boyhood cricket hero Thommo , he came up from Sydney in the early 1970s , he got paid $600,000 for 10 years , at that time houses in our street were $30,000 today they are $ 2million . Thommo lived near us , we use to wave at him when he drove passed . he stopped a couple while we were playing cricket in the middle of the street and joined us , we were all over the moon . he was so funny a real larrikan . here he is inducted in the Hall Of Fame , count how many times he got bleeped in 4 minutes😂😂🤣🤣ua-cam.com/video/mvkWLlpihKI/v-deo.htmlsi=TaxgMfw3K3stkhAZ how could you not love him 👏👏💖💖💖💖🏏🏏🏏🏏🥰🥰🫡
Thank you. David is one of the few football reporters that you can actually take seriously.
Thanks for watching. Much appreciated.

January is never awkward for the big clubs, like Man City, PSG, etc.
Entitled to your opinion!🫡
The man. The myth. The legend millions of Arsenal fans look to for inspiration during transfer windows.
He gave us the Sesko news right here. No talks. No approach. Nothing happening right now.
Wow!! The goat of transfer news on the show!

"How do you measure success?"
That's easy David, in football they give trophies to teams that are successful.
Legit question in a time where some folks measure it differently. I'm a trophy girl as you know!
@@HighburySquad I know, it does come down to the essence of how people view football in fundamentally different ways, Wenger was similar, he viewed it as a sort of art where there was only good or bad performance and success was a matter of opinion.
shit yeah !!!! Archangel 🙋♂🙋♂

This transfer business is complicated but if you delay being aggressive, can certainly hold a team back!🫡

Since when dude been 20 years since a title

17:50 for the bad news on sesko 😭
I'm relieved, we don't need another project.
Some journos have taken this and not credited us on socials!
@@HighburySquad any tweet or post I see I've been @ the podcast. Typical people don't credit the source
Lol we have a big Gabi, fast Gabi and an injured Gabi lol 😂😂😂 man i love arsenal
lol!🫡
Contrasting work spaces, Sophie's clutter of memorabilia versus David's zen concentration lol.
This made me chuckle!
@ I just thought it was an interesting juxtaposition of styles.
Archangel , Sophie`s place reminds me of the pool room in the movie The Castle 🤣🤣💖💖🙋♂
the pool room ua-cam.com/video/jtrj9h3D8Ug/v-deo.htmlsi=Ij_y767OcqxwLNdl 🤣🤣💖💖🫡
@ You're not wrong Georgie. 😂
Valid yellow card but great to have The Ornstein on the channel. Backing for Arteta noted.
I didn’t hesitate😂🫡

Shill? Not sure that’s the case!
No David, we signed Havertz to play no 8. He wasn’t the plan, it just happened, but regardless, we can’t go forward with one option, that’s suicide for success
Has Havertz really been as bad as some fans make out? David talked about his numbers…🫡
@ this last couple of months yes, he has missed some important moments!
But David said no9, we didn’t sign Havertz for it originally, it was a solution to a problem but not a long term solution, he isn’t that guy. No hate on him, just can’t go forward with him as the only option, as i said
Arsenal Football Club need a striker right now in the general January window
We know.
Soph what do you keeps saying at the beginning of your videos? 😮
Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. In Greek X
Hi
Hola!
How can city sign marmoush then? They are ahead of Leipzig and Marmoush is 2nd top scorer in league just 1 goal behind Kane. How can they get him from Eintracht but we can't get sesko from RB Leipzig?
70 million plus a gamble for Marmoush? What do you think? 🫡
There could be no internal pressure on Mikel from the ownership, but his Arsenal legacy will be written by external opinions and 5 trophyless seasons given the investment is not a good account in every way you look at it.
Time will tell. Still much to play for this season🫡
Tierney is getting repurposed as a left winger
Are you Greek Sophie ?
I sure am! 🫡
@my wife is from Corfu Lovely people
DAvid getting a yellow card on his debut is Sooo Arsenal!!!!
😂😂😂
Arsenal is not going to sign a striker this transfer window. Watch
Probably not🫡
Ornstein made this a gaslighting episode. He gave nothing insightful. Thank you.
Gaslighting? Some good insights on what this business is about and how it works.🫡
