Paul Merson

In his latest Sky Sports column, Paul Merson assesses his former club Arsenal's start to the season, questions who pulls the strings in the transfer market - Mikel Arteta or Edu? - and responds to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Jurgen Klopp's "embarrassing" comments on Premier League rule changes...

Did we really expect Arsenal to beat Chelsea?

Arsenal are a million miles behind Chelsea. Games like that are not Arsenal's bread and butter, that was the Friday before, against Brentford. If Chelsea had gone to Arsenal and drawn that game, they would have come away devastated. It's a fact.

These are worrying times for Arsenal, there is still a long way to go but if you weigh up the last two games you have to conclude that Arsenal are and are going to be a mid-table team. I mean, did you think Arsenal would finish in the top four before a ball was kicked?

It's all well and good saying get rid of Mikel Arteta or change the owners but, first of all, the club costs a fortune and, secondly, who is going to take that job on? There isn't a queue around the block to manage Arsenal because if you're a top manager with a good reputation you would be putting that on the line.

I'm getting a little tired of the news from the European Football League. Everything has become so uncertain that I don't want to spend money on bets. It would be stupid. But I've gotten used to my hobby. Maybe Africa? I counted something good in the news here - https://azscore.com/ I think it's a great idea to try betting on local African soccer.
