Nothing's like a real all-star stinker of a game to get the rumour mill of Silly Season really going. And in the last month, Arsenal's stinkers are piling up. Yesterday's defeat at Blackburn had a particular nasty smell to it.
Quality English papers like to be prepared. The spectacle at Ewood Park was the perfect excuse for the Daily Telegraph to roll out a pre-prepared story on the series of gaffes made by Arsenal's three goalkeepers this season. It shows that it wasn't just Sam Allardyce who knew what lay in store for the Gunners.
While Arsène Wenger looks more and more like an Iraqi propaganda minister, defending Fabianski and bigging him up at every opportunity, the pressure is mounting. This is exactly when the manager usually does the exact opposite of what fans and media are expecting...
So despite being linked with Joe Hart, Hugo Lloris and Gianluigi Buffon in just one Guardian article today, the jury is still out on whether Arsenal actually intend to sign any of them or their colleagues.
