It’s going to be a tough away day at the worst new stadium in the country. We head east to play WEST Ham. There’s a confusing one for you non-London folk.
Anyway, I’m worried about how our defence is going to hold up tomorrow. On the one hand, I’m excited to potentially welcome back Hector Bellerin, on the other, I’m deeply concerned about how we’re going to deal with Mustafi, Koscielny and Monreal playing together.
Arnautovic is a man-beast and unplayable when he fancies it. Felipe ran rings around us last time he played. Antonio is also more than capable of causing us problems. If you remember last time we played West Ham, we really were lucky not to come away from the game losing. Now Pelligrini has had more time, we should expect just as tough a game as before. Our last 4 away Premier League games have seen 2 draws and 2 loses. We really need to get back on track and it’s imperative we don’t lose more ground on the top 4.
We have a squad as fit as it can be at this stage of the season. Will he play Ramsey? Will he go with two up front away from him? Will he start Auba and Laca? So many questions that need answering.
In other news, Cesc Fabregas has ducked out of the Premier League to join Monaco on a 3 and half year deal. Thierry has dropped a steal there… not quite sure I’d be giving someone with his injury record and pace that money, but whatever. I loved Cesc. One of my all-time favourite Arsenal players. When you talk about attacking footballers playing in a banter team, that was Cesc, and he fucking owned it. No bitching, mincing out or failing to score goals because that’s “not his thing.”
I remember him bursting on the scene with his mullet and rat tail. He looked like he was going to sell you a banging pair of fake Rayban’s, and he defo knew someone who could by you some South African skunk. But as his hairstyles improved, so did his ability to control games on the pitch. He was a revelation, one of the first midfielders of his type in the league. He had no pace, no physical presence, he just had this incredible ability to always find space… and his range of passing was out of this world. Then the goals came… then the interest came.
I don’t want to talk about how he left. I think the strike thing was massively overblown. Really though, who can blame him for going to play in that Barcelona side? It was the greatest of all time. Doesn’t matter that he didn’t really break into it. He went there to win trophies and that’s what he did.
Would I have wanted him back at Arsenal? For sure. We held out for him for a summer and didn’t fill his position because Wenger didn’t want him going to United. He kind of strung us along to get assurance from Barca, then he stayed and was fucked over anyway. We eventually moved hard on Mesut Ozil and that was that. Cesc was over for us.
What a career he’s had regardless. He’s lived in London, Barcelona and now Monaco. I have so much love for how that guy has run his career. A true role model if ever there was one.
Good luck Cesc!
Finally, Bielsa admits to hiding a spy in a bush and there are people out there defending the actions like that isn’t utterly abhorrent behavior. I saw a French publication justify the Leeds managers decision by saying there is no law against spying, and it was basically fine because he was chasing perfection.
Hmmm… pretty sure the police wouldn’t have picked up the perpetrator if there wasn’t something legally dubious about what he was doing. Additionally, don’t be a cu*t and play the strict interpretation of the rules card. Life is not about living by a strict legal code, there’s such a thing as norms, if you think there is anything upstanding in spying because no one thought there was a chance an opposition manager would go to those lengths, you’re full of shit.
Someone could stab someone in the leg before a game and there’d be a dickhead on Twitter lining up to tell you that taming player passion was a bad thing and if we punished the stabbing, it could be the end of the game. Not all opinion is born equal and the internet levels a cesspit of horrific views.
Right, that’s me done, enjoy the West Ham game! x
Seeing we’re asking everyone turn the big light off whenever they can to save money. Emery confirming we can’t afford players. We could well be mid table shit for a few years to come. What a hole Wenger dug us into. I can’t hate the man enough.
CA. Kronke is a clueless dimwit who knows nothing about the club. Heck it was his son, who took the lead and moved Wenger on, Gazidis was now in the hot seat and he bails too. What a bunch of thieves I do think he should spend his own money- which is Arsenal earnings back to the team. We can easily put that into a player or 2 in Jan, and it will pay dividends I worry that we have stagnated now to a point of no return. We have nothing to spark us on. Mavro? Please…. why has he… Read more »
I made the case earlier in the week that we should wait until end of season to
judge the merit of Emery.
However, based on our latest performances against Liverpool and West Ham
you have to ask some very serious questions about his team selections and
the lack of any planning.
Can anyone please advise me what our gameplan was in today’s performance?
how many points have arsenal droped now without ozil? why not start with ozil,iwobi,auba,laca? emery’s ego is hurting this club.
Before today
Arsenal hasn’t lose to West Ham in 21 away games
They’ve lost 16 and drew 4
Wrong records
Any team with an owner who brazenly states:
“If you want to win Championships then you would never get involved.”
Doesn’t deserve to win anything. Thats the kind of unambitious, coward talk he’d have been better off saying in a private convo. Not say that publically under any circumstances and especially when Arsenal fans already aren’t fond of you.
Daz
Exactly. Let’s hope the penny starts to drop – after all these years
.. But you never know, maybe project youth 2.0 will make us champions.
Bamford – Pellegrini has them playing more coherantly because they are better players.
West Ham with that side will continue to improve because they have the ability and upside to do so. We will get worse, because morale and team spirit drops when the team is writing cheques it doesn’t have the ability to cash.
Emery of course deserves blame for the elements which he is responsible for. He’s also still been dealt a rubbish hand tho
For those saying emery should be sacked. Don’t forget we don’t even have enough money to fire him even if we wanted to because wenger and gazidis’ financial mismanagement bahahah
If we don’t buy players in January, this will have little to nothing to do with Stan Kroenke and everything to do with what Sanllehi, Venkatesham and Emery think is best for the team and club.
See Sanllehi’s quote about the January window: in general he doesn’t think one should do a lot of buying or spending in it.
The football men in charge of Arsenal overestimated the quality of the squad this summer, and they needed to do more this summer than they thought they did.
This is on Emery, Sanllehi and Mislintat, not Stan Kroenke.
with iwobi,laca,auba how many shots on target did they have in the 2nd half? It’s point less playing auba,laca without any wingers and creative midfielder.
I bet I’m not the only one who thought nasri looked like a substantial upgrade on our own attacking midfielders…
Anyone know what Dick Emery just said
Same shit different day.
All people moaning on and on…
Simple don’t go don’t buy the shit merchandise. Protest every game until this yank fucks off…
He’s only just getting started. We are the arm that funds his NFL teams. We will be debted up to the eyeballs in next 3 years.
First thing he done when seizing control was to state no one will see the books anymore…
Poor Emery, trying to defend arsenal’s pathetic transfer policy.
Isn’t that what wenger used to do?
Unai said hes going to continue with the way he wants to play, we are in January and I’m still unsure what our game plan or playing style actually is.
‘This is on Emery, Sanllehi and Mislintat, not Stan Kroenke.’
I don’t think this is even remotely true.
You’re insinuating there is an element of choice.
The club have told you repeatedly they don’t have money and we know they are approaching the FFP wage restrictions owing to our ludicrous wage structure.
It would be great to sell players to get around it, but you have to sell for decent fees and who is giving us decent fees for anything in our team outside of Lacazette, Aubameyang and Torreira?
We have clearly signed the Spanish David Moyes .
West Ham have palpably better manager
Who has won the Prem
Who plays great football
And speaks English.
Everyone associated with Gazidas needs to go:
Raul – a corparate lackey!
Emery- (mind boggling appointment)
Both Spanish and totally irrelevant to UK football.
Rednapp absolutely spot on.
We were a better side last season than right now though.
The one thing Wenger did right was play an 8 in Ramsey in central midfield who could join a lightweight attack. Third man runs opened up space for them.
Two limited 6’s in Xhaka and Guendouzi means there is a massive disconnect between midfield and attack.
I said all along this would be a problem with this squad, which is why Ramsey needs to play in central midfield.
Wenger’s fungerprints are all over this defeat.
Fans need to wake up and start blaming themselves for tolerating years of mediocrity.
Bam you can’t say Stan isn’t to blame. He hired these guys. He oversees and signs off on what they decide. There’s that terrible story in America of a girl in a coma who got raped presumably by a male nurse there. The CEO resigned because his position was untenable after that. I doubt he was the rapist and I doubt he had anything whatsoever to do with what happened – but the boss is always responsible for what happens underneath him just like the manager is to blame for picking the wrong players if a player plays badly. Stan… Read more »
Wenger’s fingerprints are all over this defeat.
Fans need to wake up and start blaming themselves for tolerating years of mediocrity.
Rednapp really nailing it.
emery is a mid table team manger. why the fuck pick 3 centre backs against West ham?
There’s nothing we can do, your all floundering like a fish looking for an escape that isn’t there.
We waited too long to make changes at the club and now you just have to sit through this.
I understand it’s frustrating for the people who were screaming for change for years, not sure why those who weren’t are complaining now, but that’s just the way it is.
Agree ES, I don’t think the criticism of Emery is premature either. The way he sets the team up before the game for him to then need to be ‘General Tinkerman’ smacks of a lack of clarity in his thinking. We haven’t a great squad but after 23 PL games we are still struggling to have a cohesive system in our defence, midfield and attack – not one aspect of our team set up is looking better than last season. Too much doom and gloom but I do like the idea of giving some youngsters a chance, what have we… Read more »
a poor ozil is still better then shit emery picks.
The urgency expressed by fans for change after years of sitting on their hands is hilarious…lol
Bob
Beacause he is a coach- who CREATES problems.
The best ones- SOLVE THEM!
Chelsea
Man Utd next..
If we getbanega.
Him and Raul will be gone by easter( ironically same time – man Utd got shot of Moyes)
Really frustrating how posters try to shift all the blame on to players. Yes, they are average but Emery is tactically clueless. Even today we looked better when Ramsey came on as he linked well between defense and attack. It is almost like Emery gives too much preference to athleticism than footballing nous. Ozil is not my cup of tea either but for fuck sake as a manager you must play one if not 2 out of Mikhi, Ozil and Ramsey. I have already pointed out the folly of constantly changing formations.
Whoever brought this Emery cunt is the enemy within. Soon we will be 12th. He wont even get his beloved Europa spot. We will win nothing. Will get beaten by Chelsea, Man City, Huddersfield, Spuds, Man U, Wolves, Everton, Watford and Leicester, This will be worse than Wenger’s last season. #UNAIOUT
Let’s face it guys. The club is dead already with that shit face cunt Stan as the full owner and the club gone private.
Painful years to come as a mid table club.
The only change will come if the fans united to get rid the greedy yank.
This is on Emery, Sanllehi and Mislintat, not Stan Kroenke.
Yeah I dunno about that. Only so much you can do with 70 million. Stan could certainly help this month. No doubt if nothing gets done this month it’s not because Sven Raul and Emery believe in the squad it’ll be because apparently there’s no money left
leftsidesanch
To see for themselves how crappy we are. A hell of a wake up call for them, I am sure of that much.
One thing will play in our favour. Kroenke not investing and his gullible belief in AW bullshit these last 10 years. His total lack of governance will cost him. He does not realise how far off from making top 4 we are.
A prerequisite for an owner is to be interested in the on pitch footballing matters (ie give a
Bob you’ve come on leaps and bounds. Wilshere on the Sky pundit team today and not one quip at him. Guinness on me!
Paulinho very true.
Static mid and pea as a wide man.
Well we had was Iwobi and kola down the left.
Like I said a few days ago a 4-3-3 is the way forward with a Torreira, Xhaka/Guendouzi, Ramsey centre.
China1
I’m utterly flabbergasted by fans who still seem to think that the man who has had full control of arsenal since 2011, is somehow blameless in arsenal’s decline.
I can only conclude that you’re arguing with people who are too arrogant and deluded to admit they’re wrong.
Best to ignore.
I dont think arsenal can trust this mid table manger with money. emery needs to be gone by the end of the season.
Rihanna doing anal??
Joe’s sorted her anus out. He rode his pet dragon with frickin lazer beams on its head, over to her place after putting out a 10 story fire (on his own) from his Bugatti transformer.
fuck wilshere this club is in big trouble.
The trouble is now that the powers that be must be thinking, should we go hard money wise with Emery at the helm? Do the players to be brought in depend on Emery as manager, Banega, Suarez etc or are the transfer targets ‘Sven’s picks’ regardless of who the manager is?
This self sustainable model will make arsenal fc into a permanent europa league side at best . IMO.
This! Overall people can continue to pin the blame on the past regime, but the constant is KSE and the ownership of Arsenal. 5 years from now, we will continue to blame the past it manager and give a pass to the ownership. With City, Chelsea, and even United, no chance of us winning the league under this type of ownership and model.
Jose/pogba …similar situation to Emery/ozil…
I have said it time and time again over the last few months and there will only be one winner .
Supporters and players are not stupid ( marko,azed,Cesc appeal and joe the exception) …. They know Emery is making an almighty cock up by alienating Ozil .
That’s 4 defeats( and counting) since just before Christmas without ozil starting.
Cesc
You’ve misunderstood my point: I get that Emery, Sanllehi and Mislintat are operating under difficult circumstances and that they face certain structural challenges, however they are the men who are responsible for making the decisions that move us on and up.
Who decided what we needed this summer? They did. Who decided no one needed to be sold? They did. Who decided who we signed? They did. Who decided we didn’t need to sign others? They did.
Kroenke has nothing to do with any of this.
That’s the season effectively over. I had dreams of making Top 4 by eeking out half a dozen away wins and getting a couple of extra home wins as a result of the side getting a couple of new players improving the others under proper coaching. It’s not happening. The way we look at the moment we won’t even make Top 5. I’m no fan of Emery and I know Rome wasn’t built in a day. But as Pedro and others have said, we should be seeing something emerging after six months. We should be planning for our next manager.… Read more »
The main question i have after watching that is
At what level or more precise who has made the statement
that we can only bring in loan players.???????????????????????
???????????????????????.
Marko…your Emery is poor. That is why he was binned at PSG. He is as clueless as his favourite players, Xhaka and Guendouzi. History will judge him as the worst manager at Arsenal in modern day football. I hope you fuck off with him when his time comes.
Unai, thanks for that image!!
If u were kroenke would u give them extra funds to waste :
Lichsteiner?
Elnenys extension to his contract
The Ramsey fiasco.
I would not
I would sack them, instead.
Where kroenke deserves brickbats from the fans. Is his distance and lack of involvement
IT WAS GAZIDAS WHO CHOSE
EMERY
Gazidas has gone.
Not one fan on here- wanted him then
Iam sure that most do not want him now!!
Fans should just start calling for emery’s head. His team selection in about 5 matches played now has been shocking. He just can’t think he’s some “all in all, do whatever he wants” coach. Is auba untouchable? I bet willock plays better than even ramsey but this useless emery isn’t seeing this. No player of him drives the ball, no player can turn the opponents, shit shot on goal, no direction whatsoever
Again, the self-sustaining model was adopted by the Arsenal board prior to Stan Kroenke. People need to stop conflating the two. If you think the model is the problem, fine, say that. But Kroenke didn’t create the model; the board did.
Akexanderhenry
Arsenal’s declune started with the emergence of Chelsea not Kroenke….you sack of shit.
Cesc Appeal
“Like I said a few days ago a 4-3-3 is the way forward with a Torreira, Xhaka/Guendouzi, Ramsey centre.”
Ah, bless you …still trying to make sense of what Emery is doing ….it must be a very difficult time for you …
“Like I said a few days ago a 4-3-3 is the way forward with a Torreira, Xhaka/Guendouzi, Ramsey centre.”
Yeah, before the season started I wanted the Xmas tree formation:
——-Torreira–Ramsey—–Guendouzi
———-Lacazette——-Ozil
——————Auba———–
Still maintain that’s the best system.
it’s easy to see where the blame lies. In the years of neglect and terrible coaching. And the blame lies as well in the new manager and the new management. Half a season and we are still regressing. As long as it’s one step back, two steps forward, I’m okay. Which is why I’m still giving emery, raul and co time to turn this around.
Bamford – A truly brilliant post.
Again, the self-sustaining model was adopted by the Arsenal board prior to Stan Kroenke. People need to stop conflating the two. If you think the model is the problem, fine, say that. But Kroenke didn’t create the model; the board did.
100000% correct
Bamford, the Kroenke apologist as usual. It’s almost as though Josh is slipping you a couple of bucks to operate as a social media PR rep!
Stan’s been the problem since 08
At least back then we had world class players. He’s a fucking leech, the old corpse.
Put your money where your mouth is and boycott his personal piggy bank
We got our arsenal back!? No fucking chance. Not until that saggy old lizard is gone. Get used to it gooners
I’ve said it so many times
WE WILL NEVER WIN A MAJOR TROPHY WITH KROENKE AT THE CLUB
Wenger was as good as it gets until then.
he’s obsession to playing Guendouzi and iwobi is disgusting.
Bamford But again it’s all well and good asking who decided what we needed, they did etc. We needed a GK, RB, CB x 2, CDM, CM, CAM and a winger. They had £64 Million. They also had a £250 Million wage bill, a hair away from Liverpool’s and massively over Spurs and were approaching the FFP wage restrictions. They got us a pretty good GK, a decent CB, a great CDM and a great young prospect. I mean United spent £10 Million shy of our whole budget on Fred, Chelsea spent more on a keeper, even Everton could spend… Read more »

“Jose/pogba …similar situation to Emery/ozil…”
lol comparing Pogba and Ozil.
One is on his day a complete midfielder that contributes all round defensively and offensively to his team and has much more all round influence than Ozil.

Slipping his some pork sword more like

Actually, I can say that. Yes, he hired these guys, but he would only be to blame if I thought these guys were incompetent. I don’t. I don’t think they’ve made all of the right calls at this point, but I don’t think they’re incompetent. So Kroenke takes no blame there.
Now, if these men went to Kroenke this summer and said, “we can’t finish fourth without 50m from you,” and he balked, yeah, that would be on him. But there is no evidence that any such thing happened.
Again, the self-sustaining model was adopted by the Arsenal board prior to Stan Kroenke. People need to stop conflating the two. If you think the model is the problem, fine, say that. But Kroenke didn’t create the model; the board did.
How can you absolve the opportunistic owner? Of course he loves that model! He has th power to change it a bit and put his own money in, but nah. The sport has moved away from the sustainable bs unless you’re United, Barca, Bayern or Real Madrid. We aren’t even doing good business in the supplemental income department ffs
Ozil is a 10000 times more useful Arsenal asset than the muddling,medicore Emery.
Ozil will be arsenal much longer than him.

“if I thought these guys were incompetent. I don’t. I don’t think they’ve made all of the right calls at this point, but I don’t think they’re incompetent. So Kroenke takes no blame there.“
This past summer we loaned Chambers and didn’t sell him, didn’t sell Jenks, didn’t sell Elneny.
We also didn’t sell or sign Ramsey and Welbeck.
But they’ve made all the right calls you say?
Marko
Are you saying the summer couldn’t have been better handled? That we couldn’t have sold this or that player to generate revenue or free up wage space? I don’t see how one can hold that view. I think you might forgive them for not doing more, but I don’t think you can say they did everything they could have done.
So who do we blame for today, Wenger or Ozil, or both? Or perhaps the guy who selects and trains the team? The guy who is in love with Iwobi and Xhaka. The guy who can’t teach Mustafi how to stay on his feet. The real fraud, Emery. Forget top 4, we’re not good enough for it. As for Europa League, Chelsea, Napoli, and even Inter are miles ahead of us. Oh yeah, Banega will save our season. Don’t make me laugh.
Joe’s sorted her anus out. He rode his pet dragon with frickin lazer beams on its head, over to her place after putting out a 10 story fire (on his own) from his Bugatti transformer.
First comment of the day from Don. Well done Don took you mere seconds to act like a fool
don’t play auba and laca untill you play ozil and buy proper winger.
Going with Bamford.
This is not Kronkes fault.
Lots of people to blame with varying degrees of complicity but Stan isn’t at the top of the list.
Arsenal are done as a footballing machine. We exist in a twilight zone of a business that sometimes has a kick about.
Can’t wait for Peter’s post mortem.
I agree with a lot of what both Jamie Redknapp and Alex Scott have said today. The bottom line is that Emery has inherited a bang average squad, which is not remotely good enough to finish in top four. It is also very well to argue as the club does that our finances are at the moment limited, but there needs to be light at the end of the tunnel. It is incomprehensible that a club with the sixth largest revenues in world football and new sponsorship deals is now in such a financial mess that they cannot buy players.… Read more »

My apologies, I misread your comment entirely.
Are those issues something you too hold our new crew accountable for? Have read some dismiss them entirely.
Champagne
So you think these guys — Emery, Sanllehi, Mislintat — are incompetent? You think we have enough evidence to say that? I don’t.
Making mistakes or not making all of the right decisions is one thing; being incompetent is quite another thing.
The guy who is in love with Iwobi and Xhaka. The guy who can’t teach Mustafi how to stay on his feet. The real fraud, Emery
Funny enough they’ve been here and playing before he arrived at the club
The big error was handing millions to Wenger to spunk on trash players.
Any sensible board would have saved the cash for the new mabager to shape a winning team.
@ Cesc appeal The club have told you repeatedly they don’t have money Actually no. They always told us they had the money and ambition to win the PL. The reason for all the fuss over the past years was that we were bored with top 4 and wanted change. So here we are, we have change now. In 5 years time you will not even recognise AFC. In 10 years time you will recall that AFC use to be among the top PL teams when you were young and beautiful 🙂 Poor people who gained fame by ranting everyday… Read more »

No, comparing their situation with their respective managers …..
Jose has gone and United have brought in a manager who sees the positives in pogba instead of the negatives ,and he is thriving.
How can arsenal be finding it difficult to score goals but not finding it difficult to concede? I’m not an akb neither do I have something against emery but no one can honestly look at this team and say we don’t deserve to play better and have a better league stand. Emery ain’t doing anything worthy of note with our defence neither is he doing something worthy of note with our attack. How about the midfield? Anything???
bob
he’s obsession to playing Guendouzi and iwobi is disgusting
I thought they were the best players on the pitch.
Bam blaming Stan K for anything ain’t ever going to happen (even if Big Stan gave a prezzer to say; “I am at fault, blame me.”) You must be new to Le Grove if you don’t know this fact.
As for the game? Oh well! 3 points dropped, guess we now have to beat the Chavs at Home to even dream of a Top 4 slot?
Can we win the Europa? Doubt it. Might as well write this season off and just experiment with the team and give as many youngsters a chance till season’s end.
We had decent enough chances to win that……Lacazette and Auba should both have scored. Kolasinac could have scored too instead of crossing to no-one early on.
I can’t believe people are championing a loser like Ozil.
CG, a successful self sustaining model (which most of us would always prefer) requires acquisitions that increase in value and decent sales to help with the net spend. Kroenke’s ownership oversaw a scandalously poor acquisitions/transfers/ contract disasters which means that our squad needs a massive overhaul. Obviously the belated change of management structure, that is now at the club, have had very little time to sort it out and are working on a budget that appears has to be self sustaining. In my opinion Kroenke’s passivity contributed considerably to this mess and now his wealth should contribute to getting us… Read more »
Bamford:
“Kroenke has nothing to do with any of this.”
Truly remarkable. Even a 5 year old couldn’t come up with better horse-shit.
I can only assume you are being paid by the Kroenkes to write this stuff. I bet they are pleased. They might make you CEO at this rate.
This past summer we loaned Chambers and didn’t sell him, didn’t sell Jenks, didn’t sell Elneny. We also didn’t sell or sign Ramsey and Welbeck.
Now now Charles Wenger is to blame for a lot of these specific grievances you have. Maybe share some of that blame? Who am I kidding
Banford No, I wouldn’t suggest they’re incompetent at this stage it’s too new a setup. But that said, I am very concerned over the meek summer activities. After the Alexis/Ozil debacle I’m stunned we’ve done it again with Rambo and Welbz, who may not be the same ability of player, but they’re valuable assets to the club. Then there’s the total inability to wield the axe where it’s obviously needed. Can’t cry about wages and have Elneny, and Jenks taking up a tracksuit and 100k a week. Then there’s the use of Chambers, baffling decision to buy Sokratis at 17… Read more »

Why are people still blaming wenger? Just like APC the ruling party in Nigeria still blaming PDP the ousted party for their abysmal governance. Wenger was bad hence his removal. Emery is in now and he should be getting blamed for our “on the field” abysmal performances. Does it take 12 months to stop defenders from exchanging passes when you are trailing? Does it take eternity to call back your midfielders to come receive ball from the defenders and launch it forward? Is Wenger to be blamed for not doing anything to the defence and attack? You can blame wenger… Read more »
It’s clear we need to total clear out of the wenger dross.
But we also need to change the culture of the club.
The selfie taking, dance-goal-celebrations when battling to maintain 5 place, the training ground bantz all need to go.
This club needs to be lead by Kweon type personalities, not the fashionistas, setting up their brands etc.
A core of British players with work hard attitudes to set the culture on and off the field. Cahill would be a good shout on that front.
Everyone including Auba should be playing for their place next season.
@ Redtruth
Handing Wenger millions to spend on crap players…
Compare the millions handed to Wenger (after 10 years of positive net spend) to the budget of clubs which truly invested to win the league and it will show you the true standard of the club.
We are a shit club now and Laca and Auba will soon want out of this shit show. No one will want to play for a club which has deficiencies but will take players on loan only.
Sustainable model that keeps fucking up sellable assets….we thought Wenger was behind fucking up player contracts, we’re still seeing the same cock up!
Weak in weak out, nothing is changing. Emery is a worm
Surely we are better off jettisoning the league now.
Make sure we are not in that dreaded Europa cup nonsense next year
Top 5 Qualify only !
Someone want to explain to Marko that selling Chambers, Elneny, and Jenks this past summer wasn’t the job of Wenger…
Same with giving Rambo and Welbz an ultimatum to sign or be sold.
Wenger is gone, all of this activity was passed onto the new setup and they failed miserably to avoid previous mistakes.

They are indeed
They have a terrific coach. (Hughton)
Too many footballing snobs on here-woud not want him at the Arsenal, tho
