Arsenal swatted Tottenham aside in one of the best North London derby days of the last 5 years. We didn’t have to bet on Spurs dropping their level. We didn’t win on luck. We outfought one of the best teams in the league and dished out a deserved destruction.
The game had everything you could have hoped for. The atmosphere in the ground was venomous, the players were hyper-charged, and some of the goals were sublime.
Things were looking pretty good early on in the game, Arsenal were in control for the most part. We even managed to pick up an early goal. Vertonghen swiped the ball from Mustafi’s head from a corner, Mike Dean of all people was paying attention and the penalty was granted. Auba stepped up, looked immensely nervy, but sent Lloris the wrong way after one of those awful slow run-ups.
The good vibes didn’t last all the way until half-time. Arsenal would be 18th in the league if there weren’t a second 45minutes. We made sure that poor record carried through with a bit of help from Son’s dark arts. The first of their two goals came from a dubious foul on the edge of our box. The Eriksen freekick at the front post caught the slightest of glances from Dier, he was helped along by some poor keeping, Leno failing to get his body behind the ball, palming it into the net.
The impending OTT celebrations caused a massive ruckus on the touchline. Aaron Ramsey, Guendouzi and Lacazette all involved in some serious handbags, notable was Eric Dier telling Aaron to sit down.
Things went from bad to worse 4 minutes later. Arsenal allowed Son in on the back post, Hector and Holding were jockeying the South Korean, but Holding slid in and grazed a standing foot. Son collapsed in a heap, there was no doubt Mike Dean would blow up. Super harsh in my opinion. Should contact not be meaningful? I find the ‘if there’s contact, he has every right to go down’ mantra so tired these days. You go down if the contact is heavy, otherwise it’s cheating. I hope VAR stops this nonsense. Anyway, Harry Kane sent Leno the wrong way and we were 2 down heading into halftime.
The manager made some ruthless decisions. He took off Iwobi and Mikhi, who by their standards were not having particularly bad games. Lacazette and Ramsey came onto the pitch, Emery obviously admired the touchline aggression his bench was offering up.
The decision paid dividends. Bellerin played a beautiful ball into Ramsey who cut back to Auba on the edge of the box, the man from Gabon delicately curled a first-time strike into the bottom corner. A second assist followed, Ramsey counter-pressed Foyth, released Lacazette who cut the ball back on the edge of the box, set himself, then placed a shot expertly off Dier’s shin past Lloris. BEAUTIFUL.
The final goal was my favourite of the day. Aubamayeng slipped a perfect pass between 3 Spurs players, Torriera kept himself onside, bore down on goal and instead of squaring the pass, he unleashed fury across Lloris into the bottom corner. An absolute pearler. What a goal.
The game got better for Arsenal. Vertonghen was sent off for a sloppy challenge on Lacazette.
Arsenal took the spoils. North London is red again. What power shift?
Concluding points:
That was the big one for me. That was how you measure your success. We lost to City and Chelsea earlier on in the season, but you could forgive because the games were literally our first. Yesterday, we played a team that destroyed Chelsea last week and beat a solid Inter Milan side midweek. That was an immense victory and no one can take that away from Emery.
We had everything we’ve been crying out for packaged neatly into a 90minutes that’ll stick hard in the throats of anyone who uttered ‘careful what you wish for’ over the past ten years.
Ruthless Decisions:
Mesut Ozil didn’t make it into the squad. Rumour has it the German wimped out with back spasms when he heard he wasn’t starting. Not like we haven’t been here before, is it? Remember Wenger’s last game at home? Emery has sussed Ozil inside three months. There’s no fucks given for your Twitter following or commercial star at Arsenal. It’s all about what you give. Big question is what do you do with the biggest white whale in the Premier League? I think Emery’s press conference tells you a lot about the rumours.
That decisive thinking carried through into the game. Mikhi and Iwobi were having pretty ok games. Some sloppiness in the final delivery and finishing, but not terrible. Emery yanked both of them off and put on the bad boys from the touchline scuffle. A masterstroke. We’ve been dining out on the ‘it’s 70mins, maybe we’ll make a sub’ line for 20 years. Great to see someone manage the game and the tactics on the fly.
Paaaashun:
If a fan says they hate transfer windows or paaaashun, it tells you a lot. But there was a lot of that over the past ten years as people tried to make sense of the cold blue lips of our squad and manager. Not anymore, Emery’s face is all of us. That guy feels every strike of the ball, every missed shot, every goal. I love him on the touchline. It’s sunk into the players. Everyone is fighting. It’s like a brawl out on the pitch. We will not be bullied. We are a team of fighters, and if I’m honest, we were shithousing today… and I fucking loved it.
The Arch Bishop of Shithousery is certainly Sokratis. He’s a real piece of work. An absolute man-beast on the pitch. Getting in people’s heads, gouging at their shirts, niggling all game long. He fucking LOVED yesterday. I love him. But they’re all at it, even Aaron Ramsey was giving it on the sidelines.
Also, look at those celebrations. That’s team togetherness. That’s love for what you do and a belief in what is going on at the club. Beautiful to watch. I’m falling back in love with the club again.
Aaron Ramsey:
Gotta give it to the man, who wouldn’t package Ozil’s contract up in a bow and hand deliver it to the Welshman on your knees? He put in a fantastic 45minutes. He was electric. A total professional. He understood the gravity of the game and put all his feelings to the side. An unreal display given the circumstances.
Performances:
Xhaka was excellent the whole game. I loved his smirking when he’d caused a melee. Torreira embodies everything I admire in the new setup, what a signing. Auba proved he’s more than just an outrageous scoring record with a cracking display. Kolasinac continues to look fantastic. Hector Bellerin was a beast out on the right, so much good stuff game from the floppy-haired boy wonder. Leno made a couple of outrageous redeeming saves. Mustafi and Holding kept Spurs quiet. They all done good people. All of them.
Fan Vibes:
You know what heals divides? Winning. A project to believe in. Knowing your club is doing everything in its power to succeed. We have that now. Everyone can rally round the new regime. It’s wonderful to see.
The only thing that could top this is burying United on Wednesday. Ending Mourinho would bring tears to my eyes. It’d be a thing of beauty.
Let’s pray it happens!
Onwards and upwards! x
Man I take my hat off to Ramsey yesterday He was a total don After all that’s happened he got his head down and fucking played. Loved that he got worked up and tussled with spurs Why can’t he be like it more often?? When he keeps his game simple and focuses on his actual strengths then he’s a real asset. The player he could be emerged for 45 mins yesterday. Yes I’ve berrtsd him completely over the past 5 years but that’s because I know how effective he could be if he stopped acting like a selfish goal hanging… Read more »
I think Jose will make this a dirty brawl. Dirty tactics. Players diving, etc.
Lukaku and Martial are quality- they have a great team on paper but are struggling in the confidence department. We must be clinical in the final third. Im excited to see how Emery counters the satan worshipper
Don’t United have something of an injury crisis at present as well?
Lets see how many niggly fouls herrrera gets away with.i won’t even start on “elbows Fellaini”.we’ll see…
Would have loved Wilshere in this side too. Mmaybe he’s not cut out for the high intensity but then ozil, iwobi and Mkhitaryan have been getting plenty of minutes and look how much xakha has stepped up
Always knew that boy was a player
Anyone of you hoping to see the back of him had better start adapting to the reality that he’s here to stay. Fucking love our cmf pairing
Like the new Vieria and Petit
Lucas head is at Fellainis elbow level. God help him.
anyone on here reckon Ozil makes an appearance on Wed?
He trained alone today I believe, I doubt it.
Make no mistake .Maureen hates Arsenal.he’ll do whatever it takes.knowing full well that turning us over at this moment in time will buyHim time & kudos with their support who hate us just as much…
Wouldn’t it be great to get one of those ridiculous offers from China for Ozil?
Inter Milan is calling…
Pedro
What for Ozil?
Pedro
Did the Denilson situation really play out that way? We paid half the contract and he was free after that?
If so, lets do it…. pay half and let him go to Inter. That league suits his style
Pedro
Have they got the funds though?
Is this going to be a case of us letting him go for nothing so they can pay his £350 000 a week?
I mean if that is what we have to do so be it.
https://mobile.twitter.com/arsenal/status/1069297409044488192
Guendouzi is a fucking legend
SF
You do realise that would be giving him about £25 million? We might do that with Jenkinson at some point ie an odd million but when we’re tight for money your are having a laugh.
Yeah inter are in for ozil and apparently Real Madrid contacted Ramsey yesterday with Bayern and juventus already having recorded their interest.
CA
I’d let him go for nothing
He should never have been signed
It was a save your bacon signing. The biggest flop in wenger history he is. We should have took Di Maria instead
He was never up to the Hype built over him. Even in the 2010 World Cup I didn’t think he was as good as they said he was.
Cesc
It’s one of those difficult ones. At face value we’d be letting a player who’s has some value even if it’s only £ 25 million go for free, at the same time his wages could cover 3 quality signings.
Not sure what it would do to the accounts to lose Ramsey, Welbeck and Ozil all in the same summer for nothing. Ramsey and Welbeck should be valued on the books at next to nothing with their contracts running down to zero. We need the Swiss Ramble to have a look.
Marc
That is a ton of cash. Yes that would be be as feasible as my day dream
How the heck do we get rid of him??? Keep benching him? We still paying his ass
Im guessing whoever signs him can give him a signing bonus ( large) and lower PW wages to offset his massive salary?
He is going to have to take a pay cut with another team
Get this leech off of us!
SF
Well maybe we keep benching him, then fine him for throwing a strop and hopefully he tells his agent get me the hell out of here. We get a token fee – £10 / £20 million and Ozil takes a pay cut down to £150 – £220 a week or something.
We do not have the finance to just tell him to fuck off.
Pedro was it you who posited that Ozil spends extradordinary amounts of time playing fortnite? I read that article- that was on LG twitter right
no little snide digs about emery now from pedro those of us that go had seen a team spirit building weeks ago i wonder if arteta could have installed that spirit in such a short space of time eat humble pie pedro poor old yid scum forever in our shadow
Un na
Have Madrid etc contacted Ramsey about signing in Jan or signing a pre contract though?
SF
It was a comment on here earlier.
Pre contract
Saying that the article didn’t specify but I’d assume it’s for a pre contract.
Marc
Thanks – I usually jump to the end without preusing the earlier comments. Time difference in California… We come on late and comment late- while we sleep all you UK folks are posting away 🙂
Whinny gooners know how to work referees up. Crying foul when there’s nothing there.
The referee got the penalty decision wrong against us yesterday but I ever for once thought it was deliberate, just got fooled by a professional footballer.
I recall we used to beat Burnley with dodgy goals for two consecutive seasons.
The Pierre bug has run amok.
Wouldn’t make sense to pay Ozil’s contract in full…
May just as well keep him as it would cost us the same amount of money especially as our squad has no depth to it (unless the kids break through) so we can use him if we are short.
Where will Inter get the funds to sign Ozil.
They may make an audacious loan move with a laughable offer to have us pay 2/3rds of his salary.
Only a one off transfer is good enough for Ozil.
Chinese clubs have stopped spending obscene money now.
Ozil is too proud to stay around where he’s not wanted.
He’s the type of player that will melt and throw a fit if fans give him the Ebuoe treatment [which was shameful at the time].
He can be chased out but going after him publicly may spill over infect the team and fanbase. People may start taking sides and destroy the newly found unity.
Ozil agent talking horseshit- saying he turned down 1M pw offers!
Talk about trying to inflate his under performing ass.
Its all lies.
Inter have any players we can do a player swap with? Ozil/Jenks/El neny
Icardi!
If the contact with Ramsey is about a pre contract then that’s terrible news for us. Player will switch off and have no interest in performing.
Come on number 2 home draw!
Marc
“If the contact with Ramsey is about a pre contract then that’s terrible news for us. Player will switch off and have no interest in performing”
It’s always a pre-contract subject to a medical.
He cannot have two active contracts because he can’t be registered for two clubs at the same time.
Ramsey does have to start preserving himself because if he gets injured like Welbeck then he’s the loser.
Dissenter
That’s what I meant – obviously the pipe dream is someone like Madrid coming in and being desperate to add to their squad in Jan and giving us a fee.
That only works if we use the money to strengthen in Jan as well though.
Am I the only person who couldn’t give a flying fuck about the let’s have a love in and talk about some shite little club’s who annual budget is less than what I spend in the Tolly pre match.
Just do the fucking draw.
Sf
Really? Icardi?? We already have the league’s top scorer and the man who kept him on the wing all season. Would it really be wise to consider another out and out goal scorer?
Just passing. … For those bastards (you know yourselves) on le-grove, who always say the jury is still out and we should not celebrate as if we’ve won the league… Come on, who the fuck are you to tell anyone how to celebrate an arsenal win… If you are part of the akb jury waiting till end of season to give your verdict on emery… then why bother coming on le-grove after every single game or always on le-grove like a jobless Cunt….

Reportedly Spuds banned the fan that threw the banana peel [driving you mad for insisting on “peel” and not “skin”] INDEFINITELY.

tongue in cheek – Icardi is the only one I really know on that team. Persic?
My point was how do we get Inter to bite!
Ozil gone!
Great to see the closeness between Auba, Laca, Guendouzi and based on yesterday’s celebrations, AMN. Haven’t seen such great chemistry since the Gang of Four (Fab, Flam, Hleb and Rosicky).
Difficult decision to make, if Emery is going to play 3 at the back again will he play Lacazette and Aubameyang from the off or keep one on the bench to change the game? That has been working for us whether that is Lacazette or Aubameyang on the bench, they come on and change things often. Will it be 3-4-3 or 3-5-2? Will Ramsey get a start as well given Mkhitaryan has been a bit indifferent in his performances? It could be a game where Emery thinks start everything potent he has to try and end the game in the… Read more »
Even if Inter offered to pay three quarters of Ozil’s wages on loan for the remainder of his deal I would take it.
Even if Inter offered to pay three quarters of Ozil’s wages on loan for the remainder of his deal I would take it.
I don’t mind us paying Inter 5m to take Ozil and pay his wages.
Guns, Gambon et Al
I get the concern and prevailing wisdom on the need to start games well. But like you pointed out Gambon we’ve remained unbeaten in 19 or 20 whilst starting badly. It may not be sustainable but at this think we merit being described as bucking the trend. And that’s the part the often repeated cliche doesn’t acknowledge. And like someone else said the narrative could easily be spun positively.
Fergie’s Manu won most matches within normal time but isn’t part of its folklore how well it finished matches?
So far this season ozil has been unavailable for games with back problems… The 2nd half of last season Ozil was absent from the Arsenal and German team with back problems. This being the case (if true ) , why would any club risk spending a small fortune on Ozil knowing that his back could go at any time . Also ,if he is (as some are suggesting) faking it then the same question would be asked as to why any club would spend a small fortune on a player that fakes injury. People are not looking at the situation… Read more »
Pierre
It can go the other way.
Agent – Nothing wrong with my player the club has been putting the back problem story out there as an excuse, he’s been ready to play and help. They want him out because they can’t afford his contract.
Azed
We have to do anything we can to get rid of him.
I put him in the same bracket as players like Balotelli, just uncoachable and a real problem player, obviously for different reasons.
One of the stupidest decisions in football. It’s hard to understate how dumb it was.
Marc
did the agent say that …….if so, you are saying the problem isn’t of Ozil’s making …
There’s nothing I’ve seen about the agent blaming the club.
Pierre
No I’m saying it’s pretty easy for an agent to “sell” their player to another club. You just blame his current club.
“So to be champions of England wasn’t the job for the past 12 yrs…. But you want to be champions of England in Emery’s first season….“
Yep, exactly what I said. Not only premier league champs, but he should win la liga too this season or he’s fucking gash.
If that’s your offerings on here then back to your hole you illiterate fucktard.
Cesc Appeal
“I put him in the same bracket as players like Balotelli, just uncoachable and a real problem player, obviously for different reasons.”
fan you give evidence that ozil has a history of being uncoachable and a real problem player of are you just spouting bullshit .
I thought it was a time to start supporting the manager ,players and team but obviously I’m wrong ….
Marc
I see,more fabricated bullshit regarding Ozil …
Cesc

No just a take on if Ozil decides he wants out his agent will find a way to sell him to another club.
Is that so hard for you to understand or does your agenda cloud every subject?

Marc Not at all. I don’t think people realise how stuffed we are if part of the managements instructions is to try and get the flannel to perform. It’s a name you put up on the board and then sigh and say ‘fuck’ as you try to build a team around him to compensate. We’re into him for about £16 Million a year, that is fucking staggering. £16 Million. That is £9 Million away from Torreira’s fee. You cannot understate what a problem he is. Fingers crossed and lets see is not an option. It looks like Emery has sussed… Read more »
Pierre
I think I know a little more about sales than you do. If Inter were interested then they’ve already come half way to wanting him, his agent would just need to soothe any worries and then negotiate the best deal etc.
Dude probably throw what he had in his hand
Dumb move and deserves his ban but that card is waved way to quickly and way too often these days
That’s hilarious! The very first thought that popped in my head when I saw the banana peel was of course the cheap ass Spuds fan ate the banana first.
Seriously though, all those hours playing Fortnite when he’s missed games because of a back injury… this season AND last season… Isn’t he supposed to rest his back?! I mean sitting on a chair playing for hours and hours is exactly the opposite of rest. Club should stop paying his salary.
Unless he was a super committed Spurs fan and chose to stick the actual fruit up his arse so he could experience literally what the Spurs players were experiencing figuratively.
@ cc…
illetrate fucktard…
Your uncle did not win the epl in 14yrs…. But Emery should win the the epl in his first attempt…
You daft Cunt… I thought you already got hitten by a train…. Lol
Cesc
It’s getting pretty obvious that the Ozil situation isn’t good and is going to end with a bad split between club and player. I’m just a little more sanguine on this than you are.
We’ll see what happens – who knows maybe Ed Woodward is even more stupid than we think and will let Mourinho fork out a huge fee for him in Jan! A great big late Christmas present for all of us.
I mean Fortnite is a game that you cannot win with a joystick in your hand and laying down like FIFA is. You need to react fast, you need pricise aiming, meaning that you have to be using a mouse. So it’s absolutely impossible that he has played his games laying on the bed / resting. He was putting his back under intense pressure. I know I get back pains sitting in front of a PC for 10-12 hours a day.
Its a racist gesture- come on ppl. Lets not kid ourselves here. Why didnt he throw something else? an apple? his keys? his shoe?
I hate when racism is excused or put off like its was some sort of accident.
And yes, I would say the same if any arsenal fan ( fake fan) did something like this.
unexcusable
So far this season ozil has been unavailable for games with back problems…

No way we’d get Icardi but a swap involving Ozil and Brozovic could be good or player plus cash for Skriniar.
Pierre
I think you’re trying to be way too analytical re the Ozil situation.
Most of the time when a player is not wanted they find a way out.
RVP and Rooney were on huge contracts…both got sold off to average clubs.
If the club are firm with him, he will certainly try his hardest to leave.
Worst case scenario, if we offer him a free move in the summer, there will probably be takers.
‘No way we’d get Icardi but a swap involving Ozil and Brozovic could be good or player plus cash for Skriniar.’
I don’t think we would get any of that.
It’s his wages, he might do well in a different league that is less physically intense but that is a big gamble for a team when they are buying a player who is 30 and full of excuses.
Raptora
You can play Fortnite on console what are you on about? Ozil has also streamed himself playing on console.
That being said I find the idea of video games being his downfall hilarious. Sedentary lifestyle someone coined it, guy is a professional athlete and trains daily ffs. He’s not 9-5 in the office then up until 2am playing video games lol Does more physical activity a week than most regular active people do in a month.

Shakespeare will be sleeping easy.
If we were to offer Ozil a free move in the summer, it would cost a team £35m to take a punt on him for 2 years.
That’s assuming his contract is what we’ve been told.
Fact is we don’t know what he earns.
Either way, for £35m over 2 years I could see a few clubs having a look.
CA I do not buy into the impossible or hard to get rid of Ozil stuff. All his massive wages mean is that we can’t ask for a good fee for him.
Sf Maybe he did. But you can’t prove that he did and by labelling him incorrectly you could be ruining an innocent man’s life. This shit doesn’t go away in modern society. It’s too heavy a label to throw on someone if you’re not 110% correct. Which you cannot he. The dude had clearly eaten a banana. He threw the left over peel.

How does that pertain to Arsenal football club? Or someone throwing a banana skin at a north London derby?
Also, are some people only going to say Emery is the right man for the job if he wins the Premier league?

I just think that there is way too much history with racism- banana throwing, monkey noises, etc. I wonder if Rambo scored, if he would have done the same?
its just too hard to not think of this being racist given the history of black players in Europe.too much of a coincidence.
I do hope the Spurs ban him- passion or not- there is a line you do not cross.

Ramsey, master of flicks, the incredible and ridiculous, out. 2 more Torreiras in. And at a combined lesser salary. It’s a no brainer. If we buy a Partey and someone like Almiron, we would have solved our midfield problems for the foreseeable future. Haven keenly witnessed what Theodore Walcott did before the signed-dat-thing, I’m 1000% in the kick Ramsey out brigade.

In fairness Spuds have banned him “indefinitely”. They just need to put a time frame on that ban.
Spuds have significant Jewish representation. I’ve never seen them as a club that will stand for that nonsense. They’ve had a main club representative who is black [Ledley King] and have had black players forever.
They condemned it instantaneously and banned him.

Waiting for an official statement from our club I want our players and fans to feel that this shit will not fly with our players and in our stadium. Hate Wenger, but at least he was fairly vocal about racism and racial equity. part of my love for Arsenal is that they have always taken a stand about racism.
