AST hosting their end of season meeting tonight with this twat.

Laughable that the AST invites their favourite clickbait hack so they can fill two pointless hours of transfer gossip and worthless opinions from arguably the worst so-called "journalist" in the tabloid circus. It serves no purpose whatsoever to listen to someone who has fewer contacts than your average pub goer, and still the AST will bang on about all the "reveals" that emerged from this fascinating meeting.

AST quickly went from a pretty good idea to a shunned organisation full of desperate self-involved twats sitting in a circle gossiping about football. It's so embarrassing I can't even think about it without vomiting a little in my mouth.

Paying money for something run by Tim Payton and to listen to John Cross.

Why?

Wait what? They charge entrance?

I wasn't aware of that. They gave me a free associate membership after the fanshare went kaput. God knows I won't use that for anything useful.

All the things John Cross said in the meeting, categorised.

Category: No Shit, Sherlock

• Arsenal have progressed this season and retaining a cup is harder than winning it first time.
• Arsenal would have sold Santi Cazorla last summer for right bid but not this summer.
• FA charge of Wilshere was ludicrous. Wilshere shouldn't haven't done it but FA were a farce.

Category: Poor Man's ITK

• Arsenal got business done last summer because Dick Law set up meetings, then Wenger charmed agents and players.
• Petr Cech wants to join Arsenal. He's told hierarchy at Chelsea he wants to join us.
• There's an issue between Gerry Peyton and Sczcesny.
• "Has heard" Cech has told Mourinho he wants to leave for Arsenal, but Mourinho says he can leave for free but on Chelsea's terms.
• Arsenal driving price down on Morgan Schneiderlin by waiting it out.
• Santi Cazorla will leave next summer.
• Arsenal have been told that it would cost £40m to buy Kondogbia, unlikely to pursue.
• Arteta has agreed a 1 year contract with Arsenal but hasn't signed it. Arteta thinks it's becoming so farcical he may leave.
• Arteta may join Moyes at Real Sociedad to become a player coach.
• Arsenal are targeting a few 15-16 year olds to strengthen youth ranks but money being talked about is silly.
• "Absolutely convinced" Wenger wants another long-term contract after his current agreement expires.
• Relationship between Wenger and the board much healthier now due to financial backing being there.

Category: We All Knew This

• Doubts Chambers has the pace to be a RB or passing range to be a CM, but he's set to be a fine CB.
• Arsenal's transfer business will be minimum this summer. Two players of quality.
• Goalkeeper and DM most likely options but Wenger is happy with the squad and wants to keep it tight.
• There's insufficient depth to the strike force and a lack of variation in our forwards.

Category: Clickbait Master General

• The Mirror wouldn't have put story about Sczcesny smoking on back page unless they were 100% sure.
• Wenger used to be back page gold with much better humour than Mourinho does but has been overtaken for those 'one liners'.

seen lot of stuff on twitter few weeks back, Julien Laurens said that said this bollocks

To be fair, Julien Laurens is just as much a clickbaiter as John Cross is. At the end of the day, all these tabloid journos know is what the club wants them to know. John Cross says he wouldn't have printed the Szczesny incident unless he was 100% sure, but there is no way he can be 100% sure since he wasn't actually there. He's trusting someone else that it happened. The tabloid circus is just one big game of whisper.
