Who else is getting very excited about the Spurs game?
Have you been sending all sorts of shit to their fans?
No response?
Send some more.
THEN BATTON DOWN THE HATCHES IF IT GOES HORRIBLY WRONG ON SATURDAY.
Airplane mode for 6 days straight.
Look at that meme, a thing of beauty. Crafted from my own fingertips. It’s incredible because it is relatable. It’s relatable to me because I MADE IT.
There’s been a lot of chest thumping from fans saying ‘IT’S ALL ABOUT WHERE WE FINISH’, and yes, this is true, and if we deal with Spurs, United and the slew of tough away games, then yes, Emery is the master of the universe.
Arsenal is everyone’s best pal when things are going to shit. They are the sleeping bear that Timothy Treadwell is goading in the meme. This weekend will mark the total collapse of their season, or it’ll mark a nasty cut to the Achilles heel of our #Top3 dreams. United are plodding along very efficiently, Chelsea has title blood in their veins, so despite sitting pretty… it could all turn Shaqiri gurning levels of ugly if we don’t strike while Spurs are weak.
Again, I’ll reiterate this point: 3 of our best players are coming into form and fresher than James Blake one-liner on Twitter.
That is a huge advantage if Emery can keep them all motivated until the end of the season.
Some great numbers doing the rounds yesterday. Mikhi has better stats than Dele Alli, Zaha, Lingard and Willian despite playing less games than all of them.
Maybe Sven did pull off a madness? You only appreciate them when they’re dead… or resigned.
Bobby P has taken a huge gulp of air and got down to some serious brown nosing with the mighty, infallible, NEW King of Arsenal.
“He fits the mould of the type of player that Arsenal look for with our style of football. He’s excellent at dribbling, has superb vision & his overall technique is top class. He has spent a lot of time working with Iniesta which has improved his game massively”
Trying to cover his tracks, he weighed in on the Ozil debate after the German had been returned to first team duties.
“Its vital that Emery finds a space for Ozil in the team. It would be a big step backwards for the club if they sell him. He recently extended his contract & there’s no arguing that he is one of, if not, the best player in Arsenal’s squad”
HARRY KANE ESCAPES BAN FOR HEAD BUTT BECAUSE HE IS SENSITIVE. F*cking jokes, blud.
FINALLY, Mesut Ozil has scored in the last three games he’s started with Jenko. All this time and the answer to unlocking Mesut was sleeping in an Arsenal-themed tent outside the training ground.
FIRST NAME ON THE TEAM SHEET THIS SATURDAY, FAM.
Right, I think that’s about as much Arsenal as I can handle today. But before I go…

JWL, elite managers outperform expectations and limitations.
Trophies are nice, no doubt, but it’s a limited view to say that’s all there is to it.
Martinez won an FA Cup. You want him running your club over Poch?
Harry Redknapp over Poch?
Kenny Dalglish over Poch?
LVG was a winner, would you want him over Poch?
Doubtful.
Champagne it’s not FA cup or too 4. Wenger achieved both with worse squads and was rightfully still considered shit
RH, so now Madrid aren’t elite?
Discussing managers not clubs. Saying he is linked to Madrid makes him elite is what is being discussed not Madrid’s place among the elites.
Many duds have managed Madrid hired by the same man, managing Madrid or being linked with them does not make Pochettino elite.
I wonder what he will take to a gathering of truly elite managers, his manager of the month awards??
Pedro he outperformed expectations to build this excellent squad on a budget and deserves total credit for that
But he’s got that squad now and it is absolutely good enough to get top 4 AND win some smaller cups.
You guys keep making it this either or proposition. Wenger was pants and did both with worse squads.
Pochettino is elite, but he hasn’t done anything to warrant being called “great”. He’s a good manager — how good remains to be seen.
RH, do you think maybe the way you view managerial strengths is perhaps flawed?
China As I say, lambast Poch for disregarding the cups if you like but he’s prioritising the League and CL. I don’t think he loses sleep over the cups and you’re free to argue he should, I’m not immune to the idea of a small cup helping to shift a mentality. So by all means, but I’m arguing that to disregard his ability as a manager on the strength of no trophies is laughable. Receding said yesterday, or the day before, that Poch , hasn’t won any big trophies because he’s not capable of it. I find that mental when… Read more »
If arsenal had spurs current squad you lot would not be celebrating the top 4 trophy as sufficient 3 years in a row I absolutely promise you
“RH, do you think maybe the way you view managerial strengths is perhaps flawed?”
Nope
I am very fine with my views thanks.
For the records no one is saying the man in question isn’t a very good manager nor that he has not done an amazing job with Spurs, but you keep talking about the next level, why can’t he take Spurs to the next level if he is truly “great”??
@Pedro –
“RH, do you think maybe the way you view managerial strengths is perhaps flawed?”
Do you think your view could be flawed?
“If arsenal had spurs current squad you lot would not be celebrating the top 4 trophy as sufficient 3 years in a row I absolutely promise you“
Again, Arsenal aren’t Spurs. You’re massively underestimating the culture change needed for a team and it’s fans to realign their expectations. Poch has Spurs hopeful of a title challenge, that’s huge progress for them in and of itself.
Arsenal have resources that shit on Spurs, and a history that suggest we should be challenging. They have none of these things. You can’t be serious with that as a comparison, it’s fundamentally wrong.
“Receding said yesterday, or the day before, that Poch , hasn’t won any big trophies because he’s not capable of it. I find that mental when considering the club he’s at, the competition they face etc.”
I said trophies not “big trophies”…man hasn’t won a plastic cup in management and you are writing that off with “wait till he gets a big job” while doing all you can to downplay three straight European titles (yes the Europa league is a European title and Wenger does not have one to show for 22 years at Arsenal)
No one woukd hire Poch if the remit was winning the EL as a back-door into the champions league. Just saying.
“Receding Hairline February 27, 2019 21:48:55
Nice easy win tonight When is it okay to call Pochettino a bottler? He insists he wants the big trophies but isn’t good enough to win them”
Well that’s a lie.
And please stop presenting your arguments to make it look like Pochettino hasn’t won the “small trophies” because he does not want to, he hasn’t won anything because he has failed to.
Simple
Charlie what exactly is your argument??
That Pochettino CAN win trophies??
If YES can we get reasons for this assertion?
Don’t question Pedro’s opinion as he is ALWAYS right.
“If arsenal had spurs current squad you lot would not be celebrating the top 4 trophy as sufficient 3 years in a row I absolutely promise you” Amen There are demanding style from a man months into a job with a disjointed squad while defending a manager 5 years into a project with no silverware to show for it. A man who took his team to Chelsea who played 120 minutes against City and could not muster a shot on target.

These quotes were about Denis Suarez, I don’t understand how these are seemingly being aligned with Mikhitaryan in the post?
Poch has created a new normal for spurs whereby he built a team that is right in the upper echelons of the league rather than a 8-6th place team That is a massive achievement. But you can’t sit on that and say that the goal posts never move This isn’t a single season where you can say the league campaign was close so nvm the cups. It’s 3 years in a row of the same. Just as spurs goal posts should be moving to accommodate their excellent team, ours have gone in the opposite direction because we got worse. It’s… Read more »

Oh yeah we’ve made 3 final appearances and we are rubbish. Using the level of competition is one thing if you’re talking… Read more »
Lol receding yeah
At least if you will lay out the red carpet for Poch to not win anything whilst getting the top 4 trophy then you should get off emery’s back for not doing the same with a worse squad
And it’s soecifically because the FA cup and league cup are second class that spurs should be able to win one in the last 3 years It’s not like every game is up against a top 4 team playing breakneck football Half the games are against weak teams and even the stronger teams usually don’t treat it as a serious competition until the late stages. To win the FA cup or league cup you normally only have to play like an elite team for a few games tops. If you get lucky you can get a cheap run deep into… Read more »
Receding First off, acknowledge you said “big trophies” as I stated. You’re the liar here not me. Secondly it’s simple why I (or anyone else) believes Poch can win titles. Stellar management that’s demonstrated measurable progress across a number of areas. He has taken a decent Spurs side and put them among the best in the league without any question, his side have a style, they recruit well, he develops players, he builds a balanced side, he delivers fantastic performances on all stages (European thrashings, big 6 thrashings). Your argument is he can’t win big trophies because he hasn’t. That’s… Read more »
The richest, most powerful clubs win all the trophies worth winning ( with the odd exception). Pochettino will, when he leaves Spurs, be in a position to join one of the dominant clubs and it’s very likely he will win things. He has done a great job at Spurs with the resources he’s had available- the next step for him is to leave…..
Hope he’s crying tomorrow though…..l
“I look forward to Charlie coming on here with i told you so if we lose to them on Saturday.“
What the fuck are you talking about….typically rattled from your piss poor logic getting exposed so you’re away on a tangent that makes no sense whatsoever.
Bob
Spot on.
For me spurs don’t need to win ‘big’ trophies. For now even one league cup would be a clear success with a top 4 finish for them.
But they have imo the third best team with the third best balance and according to you guys probably the third best manager who for 3 years hasn’t won even the 4th best trophies
When we have the third best squad I will be asking for more
China….’you should get off Emery’s back for not doing the same with a worse squad.’ Not exactly like for like is it me old China?
“First off, acknowledge you said “big trophies” as I stated. You’re the liar here not me.”
Yes i am a liar because i did not recollect the word big. Big, small, medium doesn’t matter because man hasn’t won any
6th ‘best’ budget China…..
“He has done a great job at Spurs with the resources he’s had available- the next step for him is to leave…..”
What exactly does he leave them with??
I am told this past few years have been like a fairy tale for them, but if he does leave and they go back to being average what exactly did they get out of it???
China
Arsenal aren’t Spurs, are you being serious with that comparison or on a wind up?
“How does any manager get a nod that they could win trophies before doing so according to you? All managers start their career with no silverware, so using your daft idea of ‘not yet winning, proving he cant’ then none are capable. So flawed.”
You still haven’t told me why it’s a given he will win say the league or champions league with Real Madrid or Man United…all i am getting is a lot of hot air
“What exactly does he leave them with??“
You must be new to football. He leaves them with progression as a football club, and foundations for future success. But nothing in the cabinet, so nothing, his entire stay in London will be for nothing is obviously what you’re desperately searching for.
Juande Ramos > Pochettino. My eyes are finally open, thank you.
“You still haven’t told me why it’s a given he will win say the league or champions league with Real Madrid or Man United…all i am getting is a lot of hot air“ Nobody has said it’s a given, same way nobody said Spurs fans are living a fairy tale (that’s your classic bs distortion of what’s said).

A manager who has not won a bottle of stout with one of the best squads Spurs have had in their history does deserve questions asked on his ability to get over the line and win things.
The fact you believe these questions are out of place because he is at Spurs is what we are debating…

He has little to no credibility talking about football managers.
“You’re opposed and have nothing to offer on the subject other than ‘he can’t win trophies because he hasn’t won any’.” I have offered up the quality Spurs have within their ranks, they have a wonderful squad regardless of net spend. Net spend is not what determines trophies, quality of the individual players do.

People conflate their budget and financial resources exclusively with where their expectations should be Overcoming shitty budgets to build an excellent squad was a huge challenge but that has now been achieved. Poch has an excellent squad. The idea that because he built it on the cheap he should have no further improved expectations makes absolutely no sense Managers jobs don’t end when they build a squad. He then has to manage that team of players to achieve their potential. They are good enough to come top 4 and win some Mickey Mouse cups or whatever. Wenger built an excellent… Read more »

Poch is a top manager no doubt, his body of work at Spurs will tell you that.

Tottenham have won just three of their 23 Premier League away games against ‘big six’ sides under Mauricio Pochettino (D7, L13)
WE, I’m not sure he has the squad depth to deal with a full season of CL and Premier League.
I think mentality is a tough one to gauge. Is it that, or just depth of quality?
I hope he goes. Be interesting to see who they’d hire in next. Favre or Jardim would seem logical replacements.
“Tottenham have won just three of their 23 Premier League away games against ‘big six’ sides under Mauricio Pochettino (D7, L13”
Elite
I certainly wouldn’t put money on it but if we beat Spurs tomorrow, we have a very conceivable opportunity to overtake them.
Which was unimaginable just a couple of weeks back.
It’s also incredibly unlikely but it’s possible that after looking like sneaky title contenders in mid February that Spurs could drop out of the top 4 in the space of a month, us beating them would make things very tight up there presuming that Chelsea win and United continue to win.
Wow!!!

Same with the ‘talking about Emery vs Simeone all day’ after I posted one reference of the pairs time in Spain. You fool nobody.

Jammy cunt, how’d you manage that?

I’d dispute that.
Are they really any worse off in depth than Liverpool?
They have two very good full-backs for RB and LB, Vertonghen, Alderweireld and Sanchez at CB, across CM they have Dier, Sissoko, Winks, Eriksen, they opted to let Dembele go to China in January after all.
And then across the front 3 your options are Kane, Alli, Son, Lucas Moura, Lamela, Llorente.
That’s plenty to play with. No excuse to lose to Burnley considering that Kane and Son and Lucas, etc were all playing.
“Now, back to the question again, what indicators tell that any manager is capable of winning trophies before doing so? You’ve dodged this three times now.” No kind sir i have not dodged it three times, i have ignored it because it is a silly question sorry to say.

Just a counter to your submission Pochettino should not be expected to win anything because he is at Spurs.
Would have thought that was simple to comprehend but then again ………….
Lest we forget they even bottled it in the Leicester season when all the top teams were crap
Spurs have the mental strength worse than wenger babies no matter how talented the squad is. Poch needs to be the one to fix this issue
Weagle
Liverpool have more depth than Spurs for me. Sissoko has turned up this season, but he’s been a bust, Lamela offers what? Llorente scored his first goal in 60 games coming off the bench the other night. These are bodies, not good depth. I’d have Sturridge over the lot and he’s got 20mins in him a week.
I suspect spurs’ mental weakness stems from the fact that their squad collectively has less personality than a bag of rocks
This was the wenger baby problem. Finding fantastic young talent on the cheap is really hard but is possible. But finding said talent that also has a backbone is much harder. Seems like only Simeone has the answer on that one
If you look at Liverpool’s squad, their back up for the front 3 are Shaqiri, a cripple in Sturridge that can’t run and Origi.
China
They didn’t all need back bone. Their talent was strong enough. They did need to supplemented with leaders and backbone though
Instead we got gallas
What a total anus licker that cunt was
“Sissoko has turned up this season, but he’s been a bust, Lamela offers what? Llorente scored his first goal in 60 games coming off the bench the other night. These are bodies, not good depth.”
Sissoko 30M
Lamela 30M
How come you expect more from Emery after spending 70M but 60M worth of players are just bodies to Poch?
Are you sure you aren’t a spuds fan?
Receding Precisely, you’ve dodged the question and continue to do so. Meanwhile you oppose when someone deems Poch capable based on his work with Spurs to date. You’re basically offering nothing but opposition, and no reasoning behind it. Poch cant win trophies because he hasn’t won trophies, we got that loud and clear.

That’s excellent mate well done. Have you been before?
CC Lamela has scored 5 goals and got 4 assists in 13 matches worth of minutes which isn’t half bad, I agree that he can’t offer much as he’s rarely fit but even with that said they have Kane, Son, Alli, Moura as forward options with Eriksen offering goals/assists from midfield. Pool’s front 3 are stronger but Firmino hasn’t been the same this season and has struggled for parts. Ironically it’s largely because of their much maligned defence over the years that they’re even still within a good shout of the title and VVD is the biggest part of that.… Read more »

Why don’t you apply the same logic to Emery?, You and Pedro have consistently said Emery spend 70M on the defence and it hasn’t improved so its Emery fault.

Poch spent 60M but they are not good enough.

Disagree, Liverpools midfield options are worlds better and that’s the game in the premier league imo. Spurs have a top quality XI and it falls off massively beyond, Liverpool still have some enviable talent on the bench. Sturridge is broken, but his quality is undeniable, Ox is there, Keita too, as well as a few lemons.
Has the Ox played a game for Liverpool this season??
No he has not, so why does his name appear as one of the reasons Liverpool have a better squad than Spurs and hence why Pochettino cannot win a mickey mouse cup
Klopp at Liverpool has played two major European finals even before his squad got this good
“Why don’t you apply the same logic to Emery?, You and Pedro have consistently said Emery spend 70M on the defence and it hasn’t improved so its Emery fault.“
Why don’t you apply any logic for starters. I’ve consistently said Emery has spent 70 mil on 4 players that are universally accepted as ‘better’ than what we have/had last season. Yet with that there’s been no defensive improvement.
Better GK, better CB, better CM x2 and still we’re shipping goals left and right.

Ox has been out all season, so you just have Shaqiri and Keita as decent options off the bench which is fairly thin.
Disagree on Studge, he’s a shadow of himself. Had a 2-3 match stretch there earlier in the season where everything he hit turned up in the net but he’s a guy that can’t run anymore so he’s pretty limited as an option barring decent opportunities to finish.
