Well good morning to you all.
Big thanks to Jonathan for the guest post yesterday, hopefully, more from him soon!
Also, I hope you tuned into our podcast yesterday, big thanks to Ash and Matt for that.
So what’s news?
Reiss Nelson is apparently going to sign a new deal with Arsenal then go off to continue his education in the Bundesliga with Hoffenheim. The English attacker has clearly been getting good intel from Jadon Sancho over at Dortmund and I’d imagine minutes at a high-level is exactly what he needs at this time. Great thing about this story is I think it tells you how much better English kids are getting these days. Championship loan moves are no longer viable, they want to give it a crack in a top league against great players. That’s a positive for the national team. Also interesting that Real Madrid is eyeing a move for Raheem Sterling. English galacticos finally a thing again.
The BIG news is that Arsenal is close to agreeing a mega-deal with Adidas to take on the shirt sponsorship for next season. They’re rumoured to be ploughing £60m a season into Arsenal, giving us another £20m to squander on Dortmund players next summer.
I don’t mean to bang on about this, but there will be HELL to pay if Adidas don’t give us the modern take on the bruised banana kit. I remember going to a Futureheads gig once, only for them NOT to play the Kate Bush cover. Who do bands think they are not playing their classics?
Adidas, I know you’re all fucking urban-b-boy-hip-hop-street-art-vinyl-mod-scene-street-wear’d up to your eyeballs… but be real with the fans, give us the hit songs we’ve been praying for, and maybe I’ll hand over £90 (don’t make it too skin tight).
I really hope Adidas signs off a new era. Puma felt like the nearly kit, it was ok, it had promise, but up close it just didn’t really deliver. We need to rock a shirt that speaks to the future, whilst having some respect for the past. I really, really hope our new kit is good.
I have to say, when watching Mourinho crash to Spurs the other night, I was taken by both teams kits. Very nice.
Also, look at me coming through with the goods on Jose. Who told you he’d be shite at United? I did. Apparently, he has 10 games to save his career. Then its international-jobs.com for him.
I have to say, I was having this dark thought the other day… wouldn’t it be incredible if Arsene Wenger took over the reins for the rest of the season before Pochettino ducked out of the Spurs rebuild to takeover next summer? That’d be so fucking grand. The job is perfect for Wenger. Low expectations, a group of players who’ve been disciplined, shouted at and called fat c*nts… the club is ready for some of that fatherly love. Some of that sweet, sweet tactical freedom. He could possibly be a force. Similar to when he took over from GG (be real, it was GG). The tough work had been done, he just need to sprinkle expression and love on the side.
I would LOVE that because you know Mourinho would DETEST it.
Amusing that publications are running with ‘ARSENAL HIERARCHY BACK EMERY’ over the decision to not play Ozil. What the fuck else are they going to do, pick the team for him?
It’s also pretty clear that the issue is that Ozil has fallen out over being asked to play wide right. Just as he gets the number 10 shirt, Rambo gets put in his position. Must be a stinger. A real wet towel to the cold arse. Ralgex in the eye.
Also, word to Oziltoligists who have more excuses for their messiah than anyone… it’s really fucking distasteful to spread rumours that the reason for his sick days are centred around depression. I appreciate that it’s a positive that it’s now acceptable to talk about mental health in sport, because who hasn’t had to deal with issues themselves or with loved ones. However, it’s not cool to self-diagnose a player from your computer just to shut down the conversation. It is not an argument to say, ‘hey, imagine if he was really depressed, maybe just don’t criticise him’. It’s the 2018 version of ‘Arsene knows’… super grim. Shame on you if you’re saying it.
Happy to revisit the issue if there is one, but it’s unfair on the player to start hawking that theory around unsubstantiated.
Anyway, that’s me done, catch you tomorrow

Regarding Emery nobody with any real sense is writing him off so early. If he does fail though this season and failing to me is not bettering Wenger’s last poor EPL campaign then the following season the expectation that he shows marked improvement should be higher. We don’t want to be sleepwalking into continuous seasons of not progressing or showing signs of righting wrongs with the side. As for people voicing concerns about Emery’s early matches of course he needs time. But this could have gone either way remember. Emery could have shown even in early matches that his influence… Read more »
gonsterous I’m a realist and I’m not expecting miracles. But I do worry when Emery comes up with things like his 5 Captain concept and it includes the likes of Xhaka. Far better if he had said “give me time to assess the players here and determine what we can do and what needs to be changed”. If anything that approach probably shows more patience that you realise. I don’t like that agents are agitating about Emery already. If they are doing that then the players are not going to give the manager the respect – and the performances –… Read more »
Far from it. The thought of Arteta horrified me. Jardim might have proved interesting but again he didn’t float my boat. I wanted more of a Tuchel or Simeone kind of appointment because no matter what happened it wouldn’t be boring.
Lol…these players who are having issue with Emery’s intensity under Simeone , that would be interesting. I never really understood the Tuchel hype, well he is at PSG where Emery reportedly failed by not winning the champions league, lets see if he succeeds
I don’t like that agents are agitating about Emery already. If they are doing that then the players are not going to give the manager the respect – and the performances – he deserves.
What agents please, what exactly are you saying??

It feels more like you’re trying to have a row than a discussion. I’m not playing today, too much shit on at work to get worked up about this. But have a look in the media and see the observations being put out there about Emery. Most of these originate from agents. If agents are sounding off then it’s possible the players are whinging. That’s a concern.

“Wallace
Ok, but arsenal did used to make big signings by the standards of the time: Ian Wright, David seaman , Charlie nicholas.”
in all the time I’ve been following Arsenal we’ve always been somewhere between 4th-6th biggest spenders in the league. maybe a couple of seasons where we’d be second biggest, but no more than that.
It’s quite obvious Emery is struggling to assert his personality in the squad which is a very important phase in the adaptation process of any manager, kind of like the media are waiting for a string of bad results before they devour him, one thing that kept Wenger going when his team was shit over the years was that he was a polygot, and loved the mind games which made him owned the media.
What’s this about Lacazette?
Raptora, I am not praising Sanogo, I just don’t understand the hate toward a player who did nothing wrong to us. In the 2014 FA Cup Final, the striker who stank the place out was Podolski. When Sanogo replaced him, we suddenly had two strikers in the penalty box creating havoc. Go back and reread the players ratings. Most gave a 4 or 5 to Podolski and 7 to Sanogo. So I am correct in my assessment that he did help Arsenal win the 2014 FA Cup when Podolski hindered us. That may not please you because it contradict your… Read more »
” one thing that kept Wenger going when his team was shit over the years was that he was a polygot, and loved the mind games which made him owned the media.” He didn’t own the media. The media played along with him and all his deflections. It became a running joke and then turned to sympathy by the end. Mourinho citing respect to the media the other day was very reminiscent of Wenger. Wenger used to do that quite a lot especially in his later time at the club. As soon as you find yourself demanding respect from the… Read more »
If Lacazette leaves, I’ll be mortified.
Forget top 4.
I hope this is just rumour and that Emery has verbally told him he is a major part of his plans.
If it happens, I will be totally pissed off…………..again!
One refreshing thing about Emery is that we won’t see the silly mind games going on that Wenger used to do frequently.
It’s one thing using mind games and trying to play the media when your team are seen as successful but altogether different when your team is not meeting expectation or seen as failing. The latter just makes you look daft.
Vic Where’s it obvious that Emery is struggling with transmitting his personality? Not sure how you get there tbh. He’s been here half an hour and imo he’s making some seriously ballsy and dominant decisions (half time subs, yanking ‘names’ etc). He’s slowly coming across as a guy that expects X and no player is immune to falling short. I like that so far. What will possibly hurt him is the charisma side of things with his own image. He’s dull as dishwater currently with media and fan interaction. He’s suede elbow pads to the skinny waistcoat and tie crowd… Read more »
“he won’t be the last who will try to leave Arsenal under Emery.”
Could you do the same, please ?
Yes Charisma is important, but success or the image of success is more important. People will accept a manager’s flaw if they can see success, title, improvement. Pochettino is not the embodiment of swagger, but people respect him because they can see improvement at Spurs and consistency. Silent steely resolve with success is more attractive and give more respect than bluster with hot air. Ask Mourinho about that latest point. With Unai Emery, at Spartak he faced a very public players revolt. After an humiliating defeat the director of football had to sack him in from of the squad to… Read more »

Sorry but your accounts of Emery seem so OTT it’s hard to take serious. Hated at every job despite a shining career trajectory, and success at every venture?
You’re selling a story I don’t think many will buy.
valentin
the last of the AKBs. The dying breed. Sorry mate, you’ve come to the wrong blog to talk about your Lord and saviour…
“The dying breed.”
Untold has closed ???
Hey all, I give you Legroves latest nitwit…*drumroll*…Valentin.
“The dying breed.
”Untold has closed ???
no, just that Wenger is gone and they won’t be much need to talk about him soon. He’ll just be a passing comment like how GG is. Sometimes spoken in a positive light and sometime in a negative but not going to take up hours worth of debate…
Fuck a duck the hysteria on here is hilarious.
Grab a grolsch and calm the fuck down
Valentin may be OTT but he is addressing the possibility that Emery may fail at Arsenal. Now it’s understandable that fans don’t want to hear such things and so early in his tenure but let’s be honest if he does fail it won’t be utterly shocking. But such has been the narrative on here since he was appointed then it seems some fans would be just that shocked that he has failed. It’s perfectly understandable why fans were so optimistic regarding his appointment because you had a manager that so obviously was past his sell by date and a new… Read more »
I won’t even bother using arguments against that troll.
“I don’t understand why people are critisizing Wenger about Sanogo. He cost us nearly nothing… Big, good touch, pact, ability to handle himself in the middle of burly defenders, qualify as English trained …”
£5m! £5m in wages!!! And presented to us by Wenger as “the new Anelka”.
Thought that Sanogoal was one of the few points where AKBs, WOBs and any Arsenal fan share the same opinion. Guess I was wrong…
We’re all doomed…..
Anyone remember the first weeks of Arsene Wenger at The Arsenal? He was almost hounded out of the Club with some serious accusations thrown at him by the Arsenal hating media. Wind on a few years and what is happening. Unai Emery is being disrespected by the usual suspects with many buying in to this. Emery has made an enormous difference in a very short space of time. The Players look fresher, they are quicker in tighter areas and the passing is better than last season so I don’t get the comment that it is worse. We have had more… Read more »
El Tel
“and the passing is better than last season so I don’t get the comment that it is worse”
This isn’t really correct.
As well as dodgy defending what was noticeable in the first few matches was lack of overall control and this was on the ball and offensively as well. Not dominating for any lengthy periods and of course this is more applicable to the West Ham match.
btw as said before healthy questioning of him at this early stage is not writing him off.
Wenger, in a way, did own the media.
The privileges he bestowed upon them enabled him to have a relatively easy ride for several years. It was only in the last two years of his reign that they decided to have a real go at him.
The media always have to balance out their fringe/hospitality benefits against their professional obligations.
In this respect, Wenger played them exceptionally well for many years.
“I have spoken to a Chav fan and He was impressed with Arsenal. ”
Maybe, but the real concern is the very poor performance against WH at home…
(are you 100% sure that the chav fan wasn’t joking btw ?? lol)
And if he does fail, it will be off his own making.
I wish him well.
Think the Sharks hovering around Maureen smelling bloods gives other Managers a breather.
3 on the bounce against Burnley and Jose is toast at OT.
Ishola
“Valentin may be OTT but he is addressing the possibility that Emery may fail at Arsenal”
Oh my, what nuggets of genius inspiration.
That’s like saying that there will be sunrise and sunset tomorrow.
Of course he may fail. That’s why the club has him on a short term contract with clauses that may preclude a pay-off.
You’re not saying anything new, you’re just covering up for a troll.
Dissenter
There were many on here on his appointment proclaiming Emery as a saviour.
Now we know a lot of this talk was because of the relief of getting shot of Wenger.
But there are some that will wait to see how things pan out before claiming him as a saviour.
El Tel
One of the main problems for the players is that they are now being scrutinized.
They are now conscious of the fact that we, not just Emery, all expect things of them.
Under Wenger, there was no accountability.
This in itself will create a proactive ethos within the team and hopefully produce a winning environment.
Share your sentiments El Tel, a lot of us spend an unhealthy amount of time considering every angle about Arsenal, I include myself. Some negativity gets spouted unnecessarily, of course Emery might fail. I think there are positive signs and suggeeesting that we didn’t win convincingly against WH shouldn’t then suggest we should be worried.
Ishola
Nobody is buying your lame ‘he’s only addressing Emery could fail’ routine.
Valentin has basically called Emery a disaster, hated by former players/employers, and suggested several players will leave under his management. That’s not addressing possible lack of success, it’s quite blatantly foretelling a ball of flames.
Also, I for one don’t miss the fact you’re being very calculated in what you say about Emery because you disagree with some of his decisions early on you’re laying the foundations for a tirade later down the line. Transparent as hell my friend
@ El Ask your Chav friend if he would swap how things were going under Sarri (for now) with where we are (for now) Pedders said it some Post back, like most new Managers go through, Emery has not yet developed a relationship/connection with the fanbase and that will only come when he starts winning more games on the trot (same with the press) Then he will be more relaxed about his place as Head Coach and won’t need to be on the defensive. As per players at training!? WTF? United Players look happy in their training pics as well,… Read more »

Who is the saviour then Ishola??
Who is the ultimate sure thing that can win the league with this squad and a 70m pound investment??
Because Klopp has not done it and has to invest, Pep has had to invest before some 500m , Mr Charisma Pochettino has not won a thing yet…so who is that manager in the world who can do it with the tools Emery currently has that we passed on??

Emery lost him Charlie when he did not banish Xhaka to the ladies team, he was a marked man in ishola’s eyes from then on. Don’t expect any understanding from him
Only tirade will come from you Charlie and those of your ilk.
I have said repeatedly on here since Emery’s appointment that it’s a wait and see situation as far as I am concerned.
It’s called balanced perspective.
Others haven’t been so balanced on here.
I mean we had a poster on here stating that the appointment of Emery meant the club looked promising as it had since over 10 years ago.
That’s not a balanced perspective.
Westham was a must win London Derby. Sure we started off bad but the Manager in game time put this right which is something Wenger rarely did. It is too early to see what has been achieved or if we are going nowhere with Emery but the trolls are out in force. My Chav Mate was actually upset that his team were exposed and could have been tanked if our strikers had finished off the chances that were created for them. With regards to the passing. We have scored a couple of goals that would have been lauded if Wenger… Read more »
‘Ask your Chav friend if he would swap how things were going under Sarri (for now) with where we are (for now)’
Sarri inherited a team that has been champions twice in the last four years, Emery inherited a team that has been steadily getting worse, when Chelsea finished 1st we finished 5th and we finished 6th the year after that.
Not a fair comparison at all.
Emery has a far greater job on than Sarri and Sarri had a far, far more balanced team with genuine superstar quality. Emery has not a single star player.
Receding
ding ding ding 🙂
Ishola
Me and my ilk? What would that be exactly?
You’re making yourself look a plank given I’ve already stated numerous times that Emery can’t begin to be judged until Jan, same with the players under him.
“Five years and three managers since Alex Ferguson retired, Man United are nowhere near emerging from his shadow because the club as a whole never bought totally into the deal they struck with any of his successors.
If Arsenal need any advice in this post-Wenger era, it’s to take a hard look at what has happened at United since Fergie left… and do the opposite.
It’s to ignore the short-term knockers and give their new manager, and their own judgement, a little respect.”

I like that line from the article
I don’t watch Manchester Utd so no idea if their players are happy or not.
Could be they are happy as in their eyes they are playing for the biggest besteset club of all time. I couldn’t care less. Just saying what I see and read about OUR players. They seem happy to me and if Laca isn’t happy that he isn’t playing well I see that as normal too. Let’s see what he does when selected from this he start.
My. Hav Mate has high expectations and could not believe how easily we exposed them. He also thought we were unlucky as defensively we held out against them for a long period.
Maybe we should just dominate possession and look good then get spanked as has happened the past 14 years.
Charlie I see you are teaming up with Mr Hairline quite frequently now.
That says it all really doesn’t it.
Mr Hairline is a manic pom-pom waver that has no sense of balance in his views. He is a Untold poster in reality.

By the way you have not answered the question i asked you, who is a sure thing with a 70m pound investment ..i guess your answer is whoever does not start with Xhaka.

Yea mate, we’ve got our own club and everything it’s legit. Teaming up is it because we happen to share a particular pov on a matter, or spot something a mile off? Guess you’ve not been tuned in when we’ve went back and forth in disagreement on other issues. Pick and choose though why don’t you.
What are you then ishola? You’re fine to pigeon hole others, why not break yourself down and enlighten us how you’re leading the virtuous path..
Nothing is guaranteed Mr Hairline I agree.
But me saying that nothing is guaranteed under Emery has stirred you up it seems………yet again.
You do like arguing with other posters on here and it all seems to stem from this silly notion of protecting the colours lol.
Sort yourself out.
@ CA A comparism can still be made, granted the points you raised, but Chelsea still finished 5th to our 6th and still had issues that needed to be resolved as a club (Roman staying as owner is still up in the air and the Stadia stuff was a shambles) Sarri was able to convince players like Willian and Hazard to stay and sold Courtois (who would have caused problems) He dealt with Bakayoko’s situation as their midfield seemed packed with too many player already and results seems to be going their way (if he can get their Strike Force… Read more »

There’s nothing to spot Charlie which would make me uneasy or ashamed.
That’s the thing. You keep looking for things that are not there.
I repeat. It’s a wait and see situation for me regarding Emery. Have never said anything different on here.
That you see deeper motives involved and sinister ones is entirely of your own imagination.
‘but Chelsea still finished 5th to our 6th and still had issues that needed to be resolved as a club’ Chelsea finished 10th the season before they finished 1st, their 5th place position was a reflection of some questionable transfers from Conte but more to the point the fact he had lost that squad rather than that Chelsea went from a 1st place team to 5th place quality. Our ‘aim for 4th’ strategy led to the natural decline to 5th and then to 6th. Sarri entered a side with a good defence, Kante and Hazard as well as a whole… Read more »

Vic I disagree, I don’t see what evidence there is at Arsenal to suggest what you’re saying about his personality. He seems to be assuming the dominant role and letting the players know who is the decision maker here, irrespective of ego or stature. “Also swapping players at halftime isn’t ballsy but rather more often shows up a wrong formation or starting personnel from the off” This is under the pretence that he should have all the answers to a new league, and new teams in the first 3 games of the season?

I just comment on matches as they come along.
If not happy with a team performance or certain aspect of the team will say so.
This does not mean though that I am not willing to wait and see with Emery.
As Michael said a positive seen from Emery so far is that he looks already to want more accountability from his players than Wenger did so that is a good thing. All that needs to happen now is that this accountability is related to results and performances on the football pitch.
Dunno why Ishola(who I particularly don’t like) is being singled out, he’s take on Emery marries reality than what will read from some other posters.I mean the percentage of Emery falling short might just been about greater than him been successful no?
Ishola goes from calling poster idiots and trolls to trying to explain his point of view politely …such a bizarre character
Vic
Ishola was addressed by me for defending Valentins apocalyptic musings about Emery and trying to water them down to simply ‘addressing potential failure’. That wasn’t the case, but I won’t repeat why I believe this to be his particular pov on the matter – one that he’s since tried to redress hands in the air.

Ishola xjaka does not rate my posts!!! I am shocked …my life has just lost all meaning
If players are already miffed with Emery after 2 months than wenger has fucked this club more than we ever could have believed. I don’t believe there is anything to these stories Just another untold wengeite who can’t get over wenger getting sacked. 10 years too late mind. If the players are that soft that they can’t handle a little bit “up them” by the manager then they should be sold end of. They can go be unemployed along side wenger and reminisce of the good old days of no responsibility etc. We should have beaten Chelsea. We beat hammers.… Read more »
I don’t think Jesus would have won the CL for PSG last year, had he managed them
Arteta would, he has Pep’s endorsement after all
Wallace ‘I’m happyto give Emery plenty of time to get us looking a more cohesive unit. any doubts I have at the minute probably fall in the areas where Emery doesn’t have much say – buying Sokratis, loaning Chambers, no wide player etc…’ Me too up to a point. What would your minimum expectation be for this season? Mine is consolidation. Initially I expected top four but 5th or 6th would be acceptable I think. I don’t really agree that Emery is unnacountable for transfers though. I know we have a new structure with Mislintat and others, but if we… Read more »
For the poster yesterday who said Poch would get different praise for winning 3 out of 4 fa cups than wenger ever did Of course he would. Fa cups for a club like arsenal ,who are one of the worlds biggest and have been for a century, is a failure. Especially while being a laughing stock in the league and CL We should be competing for the league and CL Ana the fa cup is an accessory Spurs on the other hand are a much smaller club than us. Poch has them over achieving with their resources which are a… Read more »
3 games into the seasons and people have pitch forks out for Emery. Laughable.
We will be in good shape by Xmas. A couple good transfers in Jan.
Hopefully a Europa league in the bag.
A good summer of transfers.
Next season will be looking very bright indeed
First time I’ve been excited for an arsenal season in over a decade.
This season will be fun. And there is hope
The voice of reason returns, this time endorsing Pochettino after his previous stint aggressively jerking Mourinho for being amazing and exactly what Arsenal need.
Pochettino had a better side than Wenger in his latter years, still couldn’t win a trophy. Cry me a river about prestige and history, the resources were there on the pitch and his elite management has left him empty handed to date.
Dissenter, you clearly know nothing about French football if you think that PSG never won the French league before the influx of oil money. How many PSG fans have I asked? Like I Said a fair few of my family and friends support PSG, so obviously more than you. You can check on PSG fan site and forum if you don’t believe me. I am not forcing BS on anybody, I am just stating things that you do not like against which you have no argument. I believe that tactically, he is making mistakes. Football has changed. 4-1-4-1 does not… Read more »
Jose will be remembered as one of the greatest managers in the game.
He’s won a Europa and league cup in 2 years and came 2nd to one of the best pl teams in history.
Wenger couldn’t lace Jose’s boots
Pochettino had a better side than Wenger in his latter years, still couldn’t win a trophy
Why did wenger get sacked and Poch still has a job?
Even Stan knows fa cups are nothing for a club like arsenal and rightly sent wenger packing.
Poch has spurs fans excited
When was the last time wenger did that
Anyway
Could care less about wenger these days.
It’s Emery’s red and white army!
Hopefully he can put himself up there with Chapman. GG. Allison Whitaker and Bee as one of the greatest arsenal managers
Joe is back at the right moment, just when the Wengerites are beginning to get emboldened.
Have some nerve to question Emery after 3 games with this shit team of Wenger’s that he inherited wen you were mute on Wenger’s slow destruction of Arsenal in the last 10yrs.
Moe
It doesn’t matter about them. You know they wouldn’t give Emery half a second.
It’s ok. Those who have the best for Arsenal at heart will come through this period unscathed.
It’s all about The Arsenal now.
And we are on the up.
We will do great under Emery. He will get us firing. Even pep took a year.
Joe “for a club like arsenal ,who are one of the worlds biggest and have been for a century” Sorry but Arsenal always been at best ,a 2nd tier club …occasional cup victories and league titles were the order of the day until wenger came along though of course George graham had an excellent record trophy wise even if the football became a bit one dimensional………in fact he actually won more trophies at Tottenham in his short time there than the great pochettino(sorry couldn’t resist) We have never been at the level of Barca, real, bayern, man united and never… Read more »
