Arsenal’s game with Vorskla has been moved to Kiev. Why?
‘Arsenal’s Europa League group tie with Ukrainian side Vorskla Poltava has been moved to Kiev due to security concerns.’
For fuck’s sake… the country we’re heading to has parts of it under martial law. SAY WHAT. I hope no Arsenal fans went to Ukraine earlier to soak up the culture. Nightmare.
I also hate the fact we’re in such a shite competition that we have to fly a very long way to play on a terrible pitch, to a small crowd, on a freezing cold night. There is no respect for players bodies. Let’s hope Emery takes a very weak squad.
Great news is Spurs are playing Inter Milan and they HAVE to play a full team as they chase CL group stage survival. If we send no players to the Ukraine, we’ll have a squad that’s spent a weak refreshing the legs, whilst being drilled tactically. That is a huge advantage. Poch was only complaining last week about player fatigue. I don’t think we were over exerted against Bournemouth and I certainly think Spurs blew a gasket against Chelsea (hopes really hard).
Unai Emery channeled his inner ARRRRFUUUR FOOCKING SHELBY when speaking about how Arsenal train.
“I try to encourage the players to be more demanding,”
“One of the first things we looked at with the players was the idea of training for training’s sake, training to compete and training to win. Those are three different steps and very often players do them subconsciously.
A massive zinger at Arsene there. Arsene didn’t change the way he trained for 16 years, and it was pretty clear that there was no intensity to the way they players were coached. Emery is trying to up the energy levels and he’s trying to give it purpose by making players better.
“You want development and improvement from all players. Obviously, when you have a squad of 25 players, you’re not going to be able to achieve that with all of them because at the end of the day you’re not able to give all of them the consistency of opportunity so that they all move in the same direction.
“That said, you need to get the best out of the individual players in training and then implement that in the matches. It’s more noticeable with some players because the players more and have the capacity to do so, and perhaps because they’ve also found new impetus.
Emery is making players accountable. He’s probably setting them individual goals. He’s likely trying to keep the players all mentally involved in the game.
Sure, I’m celebrating absolute basics here, but who cares, I spent 11 years telling people these things weren’t happening… now we’re finding out that this information was correct.
Things will still go wrong. We could still finish 5th. We might not achieve much this season. But everything is a process this year. It’s hard for anyone to rectify 10 years of neglect in a year. But we’ll get there, even if it takes 3 managers to achieve that.
Finally, take a listen of our latest podcast. It’s me and Aash shooting the shit about a range of issues that spans super league, Mesut, Emery, and the much discussed budget. Enjoy.

So VAR determines the definitive outcome of games now? Ok then.
A penalty awarded may or may not result in a goal. A goal scored or not scored might spur the opposing team to counter or defend in numbers.
Does VAR (or the ‘panel of experts’) accurately determine how the game would’ve finished too? Yeah, didn’t think so.
Only a kid would subscribe to that shit.
“All I did was copy an article that was a comprehensive study of every game and every decision in that season by a panel of experts and their findings concluded that Arsenal football club were denied the title by poor refereeing decisions….” That article is a disgrace to logic and reasoning. Common sense should have told you and the authors that, things like tactics and substitutions are influenced by scores on the pitch. The article based its findings on the assumption that tactics and substitutions would have remained the same had the referees not made any mistake which will all… Read more »

What do you think of the Sanchez and ozil situation ….they seem to have hit a brick wall haven’t they.
They played some great stuff for Arsenal for a 2 year period and built a great on field relationship ,didn’t they..
Why do you think Jose and Emery (2 managers you greatly admire) have failed to get these 2 talented players to play to their full potential .
Why do you think Jose and Emery (2 managers you greatly admire) have failed to get these 2 talented players to play to their full potential .
Ozil played shit under Wenger too you know. Actually a lot of players played shit under Wenger. He was actually shit there at the end. Sorry
lol Pierre keep on digging.
Leedsgunner – our former goalkeepers make you wonder what Wenger and his coaches did all day. Wenger used to say he was workaholic but I long wondered what was he actually doing with his time at Colney.

Your consistent, that is where any applause for you ends. Don’t worry the supercilious Mr Charlie will be here any minute to defend you.
I think Alexander Henry is right. We might just have to make do with Wenger type top4 trophies if we continue operating like this. It will be very beneficial this time because there’s now a top 6 so two actual teams will need to be overtaken but competing for the title? on 70m a year or less? That’s a water to wine type miracle. For it to happen we need Pep to leave man city and for Liverpool players to become bored and experience diminishing returns with Klopp (I think they will after this season because they ain’t winning jack)… Read more »

“if we continue operating like this”
What is “this,” here? How we have been operating since June?
Seems a short window to judge how we will be operating going forward — be it in the next three months, 12 months or 36 months.
As for not being able to compete on this pulled-out-the-air 70m figure, did Atletico need more than that to beat both Madrid and Barca for the title? Did Klopp need more than that to beat Bayern twice to the title? No, I don’t think they did. And in truth we’ll have more than that.

It’s amazing how some posters build up other teams and diminish anything we are doing or could do. £70 million transfer budget – If we get CL football that’s the £30 million extra from Adidas and the CL money without any kitty we’d have anyway and without any sales. Liverpool – Have a good team and we won’t over take them in a season but financially we can go head to head with them on an equal footing.

@ Bob. I hate Wenger… OK If you care to understand my reasons then you will hopefully get an insight to why I hate him or indeed anyone of a similar character or disposition. Have you heard the word “dignity”? Well Wenger’s gross arrogance and selfishness meant he wouldn’t resign when clearly he became the specialist in failure.

Can you name these 5 clubs that are either richer than us or better run than us?
City and Utd are clearly richer than us – better run is subjective are you talking about the previous regime or the current one?

How much does a good player cost? I only ask because you seem to think we need a cash infusion – how much?
Too many fans have no patience, expect instant results and think the solution to any problem is to throw an endless stream of money at it.

City, utd, Chelsea, Liverpool (just) – Richer
Tottenham, City, Liverpool, Chelsea(not necessarily) – Better run than us
Yes, the old regime basically but even if it has been corrected with this new regime they have about 3 years of catching up to do.
On the plus side, Spuds will implode very soon, Liverpool will experience diminishing returns very soon but that’s it.
But when the heaven aligns, we can win the league. These are just projected realities.

So we are clear I am not asking for Kroenke to pump money so we can be overnight success, even though I would love it. I am just giving an appraisal, if you like, of what I think our situation is atm compared to others.

“So how much would it take for you to change your mind. I’m honestly interested in what it will take”
Kronke’s original shares ha’ve more than doubled in value ,he paid over 400 million and they are worth over 800 million.
So I feel it is fair to say that a figure of 400 million for transfers is acceptable as that is the profit he stands to make i f he sells his share of the club…..
Don’t quite me on the exact figures it’s an estimation ………
why you HATE an employee that didn’t resign from a work he believed he could keep going at.

You get my vote.
“Hate” is a strong word to use for someone who did so much for the club prior to 2006 but I get where you’re coming from.
Personally, I found him insufferable and like yourself agree with your take on things that “He put himself first at the expense of our great club”.
Emery is a breath of fresh air, not only because he is a top class manager, but also because he is none of the things that Wenger was.
Marc
I would say a good player ( not a star) probably goes about 25 to 35M
Look at Torreira- A good player and perhaps a star in the making 26m
Guns of sf
A good (recognised) player goes for anything from £15 million upwards, with rough diamonds and either potential or untapped potential for even less. You don’t need to spend £200 million every transfer window to build a good squad.
For the next couple of years expect a lot of signings that are “who”, once we’re back in the CL and sorted some of the chaff I expect to see occasional marquee signings, regular solid signings fleshed out with high quality scouting.
I’m more than happy with what seems to be going on.

More to the point, I’m interested in any arsenal fan who can think of something positive kroenke has brought to the club.
Marc, I think they can be no mistaking that spurs are better run than us. They have better scouting, have the better coach, better training tactics, sports science and what have you. Ours just started getting in place. They might not have won anything with how good they are doing which tells you what we are in for. They fucked up the stadium anyway which will make them implode, as I stated. Chelsea are definitely richer than us. They can spend their way out of trouble. We can’t.

We’ve more money than Liverpool. The only difference between what they’ve done the last number of years and what we done under Arsene was they spent well bought good players sold them for massive money and then started again. Whereas Arsene spent poorly targeted the wrong players got feck all or just plain struggled to sell them and then was kind of stuck in a shit loop. Literally nothing to stop us over the years from doing what Liverpool have done and now they’re reaping the rewards. Didn’t need their owners to dip into their own pockets
More to the point, I’m interested in any arsenal fan who can think of something positive kroenke has brought to the club.
Alex I’m literally just trying to find out if there’s ever a scenario where you change your mind on the direction of the club or the owner and you continue to duck the question. It’s personal it seems and not reasonable. Again what has to be done that changes your mind? 150 million window? 200 million window? 500 million spent over 3 years?
Imo as far back as I can remember Arsenal football club has had neither a good owner or noticably bad ownership. Self sustainability is our owner
Mystic I’ll go through your points one at a time. Spur’s better run than us, no fucking way fluked a manager who is now looking for a way out. Better scouting prior to the changes in our set up yes but not anymore. Better coach sorry but Emery’s CV is considerably stronger than the Poch’s.

Not sure if you are slagging off “self sustainability” so this might not be directed at you but outside of Chelsea in the earlier Abramovich years and City currently, plus of course Blackburn going back 25 ish years but just how many PL clubs do not operate of a “self sustaining” basis? I can only think of Leeds.

Good grief!

When arsenal returns to the position it was in before kroenke bought into the club.
We were very good before Stan got involved, then we got a lot worse.
In what Universe is Potless Pochettini a better manager than Emery?
Our guy has done it all. Won trophies with small clubs and big clubs.
Marko
“Imo as far back as I can remember Arsenal football club has had neither a good owner or noticably bad ownership. Self sustainability is our owner”
We’re all in agreement then ….we are, and always have been, a self sustainable club that are trying to win major trophies with limited funds .
That’s cleared that up then ….
Actually potlesschino is a very apt name for him .
We were very good before Stan got involved, then we got a lot worse.
We started to get worse just before he got involved actually. And coincidentally we’re starting to get better since Wenger left. Anyway again you’ve ducked the question. Unless the answer to the question what needs to happen for you to change your mind on the direction of the club and ownership is for the owner to leave. In which case that seems reasonable and unlikely to happen anytime soon. Seems there’s no changing your mind either way. Can’t say I’m totally surprised

Operating profit and cash flow are different beasts all together. You can have operating profit in a financial year yet your cash reserves can deplete. In fact that was the case in the 6 month financial ending Nov 2017.
Tr7 Your logic and analysis was completely flawed. You assumed we are buying players out of cash reserves from 2017. You have also completely ignored the 57m+ of new revenue we have added recently. The club have spent £60m net in the last 2 years so there won’t be a huge amount owing on transfers. Next year our revenue, even in the EL will be £440m against likely costs of £320m, with significant positive cash flow. The problem is I would imagine you’re looking at it from an accounting POV, which means you’re including amortization as a cost. For example… Read more »

It’s amazing that most people don’t understand that most businesses fail not because of losses but cash flow.
Right, you can deplete cash and make a profit – in this instance when you invest cash reserves into assets.
So I better understand, by how much have we depleted our last reported cash reserves of £144m (plus apparently over £50m for debt servicing)?
Marko Well, yes but we were still a top two to three side in 2006. We are not that now. Arsenal’s decline began in earnest from when Stan got invloved. We fell out of the running in PL, were nowhere near signing the best players and were unable even to keep our own top players at the club.

For once I don’t think you can blame UEFA about devaluing the EL. Neither Vorskla nor UEFA were complicit in placing Ukraine under marshal law.
I actually think UEFA are trying to be fair, keep the match on whilst keeping Arsenal in the capital which should be more stable cancelling (which would suit me no end) just adds fuel to what could be a terrible fire in a political sense.
