Oh my, I don’t quite know what to do with myself… Thomas, we were, you know, a thing…
What the bloody hell did you do to me last night? In front of the whole bloody world.
I am HUMILIATED.
Now the Emery Ultras are saying mean things like…
‘Thomas Tuchel has very mild levels of sauce, like, ‘Doritos’ levels of spice’
‘Emery’s Champions League loss was BETTER than Tuchel’s, fucktard’
‘You backed a manager with a weak hairline. That weak hairline is your opinion’
Upsetting words, I’m sure you’ll agree.
PSG really tanked. It’s going to be hard to explain that one away to the bosses in Paris. United didn’t field a good side, they played like shite, and they still managed to turnover an unbelievably expensive PSG side. No excuses. It was shite. Tuchel’s boys went out far too relaxed. No fire. No aggression. No respect for the CV of a man backed by Fergie, Phelan and the class of 92.
You’ve shown me up, Thomas. Sure, Pep the FRAUD exited in the round of 16 in his first season at City with a 6-6 draw, but you sir do not boast the serial sauce of the master! This is a blight. I don’t quite know how to reconcile this?
YES I DO
In reality, it’s fair to say Ole G channelled a big fat dollop of luck last night after his teams nothing burger performance managed to extract an away win in Paris. It was never a penalty, VAR was a total shambles, but that’s beside the point. United weren’t that good, but they won’t care as they sail on through to the next round of the Champions League. They shithoused Paris. If that were an Italian club we’d all be celebrating a masterful execution that ‘only the Italian’s know how to pull off.’
My main worry isn’t the broken rep of Thomas T, no, it’s what we do on Sunday and how last night impacts the race for #Top4 supremacy.
The real prize of the game is a few fold.
Firstly, United will have exerted a lot of energy chasing after PSG all night. It doesn’t matter how smart your High-Performance backroom team is, it’s going to be tough to recover to peak levels by Sunday.
Secondly, United must continue their little adventure in Europe. That’s two tough legs against a no doubt very good team.
All these little advantages could add up for Arsenal. I’d be very surprised if Rennes make us work hard tomorrow night. They have some good players, but we should dominate them. We should beat them early. We should be able to do it with a fairly second string-ish team. I’m hoping their extended time off (last played Feb 27th) works against them (just like it worked against BATE, lolololol). But we’ll see…
Thirdly, it means United HAVE to sign up Ole G. It makes sense, he’s brought back a bit of buzz to Salford, the fans love him, he conducts himself well in the media and he’s brought the old team back together AND Fergie has been working some magic from a mentorship perspective behind the scenes. It’s the perfect storm.
People keep saying it’ll come unpicked at some point, but I think that’s more hope than anything else. The man knows the club, lives its values and he has enough respect from the world of football to work with top players. I’d prefer him in the role than Poch or Jardim… but I wouldn’t jump to conclusions that this is a flash in the pan. There’s far more to setting up a club than simply having a good manager. OGS understood that well and all I can do is applaud the output.
Finally, United rode their luck SO hard last night. That’s going to come crashing down at some point. So fingers crossed Emery is the man to deal that blow to their season. Bit of a shit point, but fuck it, why not?
SO, all in all… it’s been another good week.
Arsenal have to work their way through Rennes tomorrow, avoiding injuries and tight hamstrings… then we’re betting it all on a Sunday afternoon massacre. We have to be careful of the counter-attack, we have to play aggressively and make their tired legs an advantage, and we have to work our way around the CORRUPT FERGIE MAFIA THAT HAS NO DOUBT BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE OFFICIALS.
Should be fun.
See you in the comments, I’m just going outside for a little walk… no… seriously, I’m ok. x
P.S. I looked up and saw Roma lost in the last 16. Face back down in the puddle.
What a fucking mess
Guedouzi nor Ramsey bothered to track Sarr who ran half the pitch to score with a bullet header.
Fucking self inflicted.
Can anyone tell me what Guendouzi’s assignment is defensively???
Dale. Its a fucking mystery what he’s been told to do
Premature ejaculation on the ‘who did it worse’ commentary from last night.
We all know they are going to score at the Emirates right? Its a kos mustafi combo for that game. No lacazette either.
The tie is over.
Marko
Well you did say coaching was fanciful
Emery agrees on this evidence
Even before the game, I knew Monreal will have a hard time to cover Saar. But why don’t we park the bus. Why do we give up this counter attack??
Good, serves them right.
Pedro trolling his own blog.
Slowly joining the Emery out pack…..This is pitiful. Man Utd will spank us at the weekend too.
5 players down by the opposition corner flag before we conceded the 3rd goal…
If we’re honest to ourselves, we all knew we’d never win this cup anyway, might as well try to get something out of the final 9 league games and start again next season, maybe with a different manager.
This was always going to happen with the stupid sending off. A raucous Rugby town with one of the best atmospheres in Europe.
We are very good until the sending off and playing well. Should’ve been 3-0 up if not for poor finishing.
Don’t see what tonight has to do with Tuchel blowing a two goal lead from old Trafford to Man united reserves.
We had this game under control and should have been at least two up before our supposedly best defender decided he was done for the night.
The manager also pulled off the wrong player to compensate
Slowly…. ?
ok ok, Arteta in.
This is us playing it tight under Emery, let that sink in. Down a man and keeping it secure lol
Only United at the weekend.
Pedro
Hahahahaha
You had your knives sharpened after Tuchel eh?
It’s not just tactics that are a mess – the players haven’t played well either. too many bad touches and bad passes – silly fouls etc. emery and the players are all to blame.
Scenes when people have come out of the woodworks to gloat when we lose. This place is odd these days.
Emery got the sub wrong, but of course him and Ozil will be blamed as usual. Blame that big idiot Sok for putting his teammates in unnecessary bother.
10.plauers is difficult for sure but you can keep a semblance of shape to your game. We have folded to rennes, mour took peak barcalona 90 at the camp nou ffs.
All subs made brought in slow moving players, no pace in Guendouzi, Ramsey or Kola, add to dumb Xhaka already in the game and where the fuck is Torreira??? He shrinks into nothing in most games.
Is the jury still out on this chump?
Don’t see what tonight has to do with Tuchel blowing a two goal lead from old Trafford to Man united reserves.
Receding
With emery’s team no less. Team of chokers
Well we might well spank them at home.. But that was pitiful. Can’t really describe it any other way. Our road form in these Europa matches is God awful.
You can assign blame all around if you ask me.. players aren’t good enough and neither is our manager at the moment.
“This was always going to happen with the stupid sending off. A raucous Rugby town with one of the best atmospheres in Europe.“
It’s 10th place Rennes mate, not peak Dortmund 😂
What was it Gambon shared earlier? 10th place and +1 goal difference for the season. No excuses
Sarr scored but still ordinary.
Guedouzi mostly at fault. Didn’t track at all.
We had more bodies back but crowding middle of the box.
Mikhi didn’t close down the cross at all.
All mistakes came to fruition for Rennes.
Dale
No counter attacking threat at all
Just dull slow ponderous crab bullshit.
Emery is a clown
Tuchel is a far better manager who was seconds away from putting psg in the last 8 until dodgy VAR intervened
Look at their second goal for fucks sake. Guy slices the shot and just stops short of the byline before he crosses and it comes off Monreal.
Can’t compete with that sort of luck. Throw in absolute planks like Xhaka who plays like he is in the early stages of ASL then these results will happen.
Joke of a club
Sokratis as solid as he can be, his wrestling type of play is wank….very bone headed to get that first yellow.
Well we might well spank them at home.
————————-
No it’s over.
No champions league again for arsenal next season . Effing depressing
2-0 sees us through, but can we defend at all???? and can PEA score at all again?
Midwest he picked a strong team with our supposedly flair players and better striker leading the line. This game should have been over before the sending off …after that both he and the players lost their head.
Aubameyang is actually a fraud of a footballer.
Arsenal are a bunch of cretins, theyre fans are as well. So fixated on Emery that you’d want to see your team lose to prove your point.
He’s not that special to be so fixated on him.
User oz
Sarr is pony
Theo was better at the same age. Much better
A 20 year old Theo now would be worth a bomb
Emery is finished at this level. Shocking decision to extend his contract. Xhaka will probably still be a starter next season. Let that sink in.
I’m saying it now, Auba is shit.
Paulinho. It was lucky sure but they had other opportunities.
Mikki at rb?no rambo till after the horse has bolted? Taking off our cf to invite pressure and allow. Them to squeeze up?
It was not written like that the moment sok was sent off. You can still game. Manage properly.
Dale
Come on man
That was never a sending off though. Watch it
He never touches sarr
Funny that the person gloating on here with a laughing emoji thinks the team should be built around Guendouzi.
Emery poor tonight. Red card central defender. Monreal can play CB and RB. Should have moved him over and brought on Kolasinac and sacrificed an attacker. That’s 101 away from home. We were poor. Having said that, the Rennes fans were absolutely magnificent. Their team responded and people are doing them a disservice for their performance tonight. For me the tie is not over. 2-0 is well within our capabilities. I’m more worried about the United game though. We will have tired legs from key players. A point might be the best we can hope for and I doubt that… Read more »
Cue Sunday when all the shots are going to be right at DDG where he will save them all night before we get picked off on the counter.
You can’t create your luck when theres so many idiots in this team.
We deserve what we get.
London,
What’s the excuse this week?
The last 3 weeks, it’s been about the points, the manager improving things and everything being hunky dory. We are literally in the top 4 race.
Are we back to ‘it’s the players’
Rennes are 10th in Ligue 1.
For the own goal, Guendouzi and Monreal and Xhaka raising their hands up like dumb fucks let Rennes player get a sliced cross in…Emery and his merry cunts…..wank tactics today too. Stupid yellow for PapaS
We should cash in Auba this summer.
When was Emery’s contract extended Thomas or are you just talking pony as usual
Any minute now and the Emery ultras will be bashing up the internet.
Un Battle AngelMarch 7, 2019 19:52:02
DaleCome on man
That was never a sending off though. Watch it
He never touches sarr
I agree, but i said the 1st yellow was dumb, the second was ref being stupid…
Azed
That’ll be £63.34 then. Auba is crap.
If Tuchel comes to Arsenal the same cretins will also turn on him. Why come to Arsenal, look at the state of the place and the fanbase?
Well there’s always next season…..
Premature ejaculation on the ‘who did it worse’ commentary from last night.
Don’t see the connection really. But the glee is to be expected really. Secretly hoping for that kind of result?
We have some shocking defenders in all honesty. Nothing 10-25 million can’t address am I right. And thankfully fast
That was depressing is all I know… We have a ton of work to do in the next transfer window… And to be honest.. Emery is looking more and more like an interim manager.. That’s how I see it.. I don’t have a fukin agenda other then I want us to not suck..
“Funny that the person gloating on here with a laughing emoji thinks the team should be built around Guendouzi.“
Gloating? Not sure you know the meaning of the word. I was mocking Paulinho’s assessment of Rennes, they’re mid table in France.
Ironic that you’re now desperate to deflect onto Guendouzi after chirping at Pedro yesterday….
Receding hairline and premature. Great combo
I think the tie is over.
That’s just my pessimism speaking. I also though Bate would knock us out.
Rennes just have to seat back and play us on the counter and they have some pacy dribbling players.
We can remedy it by winning on Sunday but United’s confidence is sky high and Pogba is crisp fresh because he didn’t play in Paris.
We are going to be a Europa league team for another season.
Don’t see the connection really. But the glee is to be expected really. Secretly hoping for that kind of result?
I could care less for Emery, but laughing emojis, Pedro in good timing, Thomas with his usual and Vic who only shows up to wallow in negativety. Joke club and fans not much better.
I meant to say shocking to extend Monreals contract.
Arsenal could get a result against United at home but it doesn’t matter. There will be 8 games left. That is plenty of time for one of these error prone, braindead imbeciles to make a costly mistake.
So let me see…
Sokratis’ 2 yellow cards – Ozil’s fault
Auba’s wastefulness in front of goal – Ozil’s fault
Xhaka’s incompetence – Ozil’s fault
Mustafi’s lack of brain – Ozil’s fault
Emery’s shitty subs – Ozil’s fault
And, of course Rennes’ 3rd goal – Ozil’s fault
Yep, sounds about right.
Are we back to ‘it’s the players’
No offence but Sarr was having Monreal for breakfast all second half and he brings on Kolasinac to help and neither were remotely interested in getting back and defending for their 3rd goal. Honest question but who’s to blame in that scenario? The manager who brings on two LB’s to address the Sarr problem? Or the two idiot LB’s who didn’t get back to defend? Ramsey saw what was happening and busted a gut to get back why couldn’t Monreal or Kolasinac? That’s right the manager
It’s a combination of the players and the manger.
It’s hard to legislate for stupid 5 minutes from Sokratis. That was utter Mustafi-like buffoonery.
Emery should have taken Ozil off and not replaced Iwobi
Aubameyang continues to sink even further.
Lovely to see some celebrating the result because a manager they fancy messed up last night.
We all want what’s best for the club I have been told
They dont want whats best for shit. Pedro i can understand but the rest of them what do you have to gain?
The deflection is palpable.
Who’s celebrating the result? Oh, nobody.
“Rennes are 10th in Ligue 1.”
Is 10th in the relegation zone now or something?
They are seven points behind 4th place Marseille. All those teams from 4-10th are much of a muchness; much of a muchness in terms of all being a extremely proficient technically and extremely dangerous with their tails up against ten men.
You judge Emery on matches like Spurs, not freakish matches like tonight; their biggest games in years according to the commentators, and listening to their crowd, not an exaggeration.
Upstate “So let me see…Sokratis’ 2 yellow cards – Ozil’s fault Auba’s wastefulness in front of goal – Ozil’s fault Xhaka’s incompetence – Ozil’s fault Mustafi’s lack of brain – Ozil’s fault Emery’s shitty subs – Ozil’s fault And, of course Rennes’ 3rd goal – Ozil’s faultYep, sounds about right. You realize that Ozil is actually employed to play football, RIGHT? It amazes me that you think the manager isn’t exempt from blame but Ozil is. 350k weekly for someone to put a few passes together sounds just right. The way you all keep lowering the bar for Ozil is… Read more »
“No champions league again for arsenal next season . Effing depressing”
Why the obsession with Champions League when Arsenal can’t do the basics against Europa League teams?
Let’s just admit Arsenal are a shit show. Been like that for a long time under Wenger and Emery seems to have that same DNA as Wengersauraus.
Seems like another last 16 exit on the horizon. What’s new?
So long as Kroenke is the owner don’t expect Arsenal to be a top four team any time soon.
Arsenal beat Utd on Sunday with this defence? You must be having a laugh, mate!
GoonGoonerGone, you’d kind of hope if Wenger can make a final and semi, Emery might offer a little more.
Paulinho
Are you serious? Mid-table in France and we’ve just been dicked. There’s no excuse for that.
That’s us 2 wins in our last 10 away from home. It’s not a Rennes thing, it’s a fucking Arsenal thing.
Paulinho, not really freakish when we did the same against BATE.
You can rely on Arsenal to kick you in the face the moment you start to feel any positive feelings about outcomes.
Guendouzi was shocking sub though. Any team built around him in the future would be of the sand castle variety.
What a sack of shit that was. Are we going to see the same gif’s being used for tomorrow’s post I wonder ?
Keown ever the optimist on BT. We have too many unprofessional players who make needless mistakes too frequently to mount a real meaningful assault at the top end of football.
Two away wins in our last 10 away games is fucking shocking.
This has been a BAD team for a long while. Until major changes are made with this team it will continue to be a BAD team. Is Ozil worth the money being spent on him, NO. Has this defense improved any this year, NO. Is it time for Emery to be replaced, who the Hell knows. Can’t be overly critical of the guy as the team he inherited was pure crap. If Kronkey the Donkey doesn’t put a substantial amount of money into the next transfer window, this team will be BAD for many years.
Marko, no glee sir.
Just mildly amusing you all jumped into Tuchel so quickly when we have Emery at the helm.
Still think we’ll do them in the return leg. Rennes aren’t that good. Just worried what a first team against Rennes does for Sunday after a loss.
We still do not have a coherent plan.
The renewal of Monreal’s contract proved that.
Everyone can see he’s not he same player but yet we keep on keeping on.
Just shameful because all the Wenger-era lazy contract renewals are still being done.
Well that was fucking shite, have no idea to see out games when things go wrong. Same old nativity with us, at 2-1 you’d still fancy us but they’re flooding players forward and we get done again.
We’ll concede at home so don’t fancy us, especially without laca, we’re shite without him play a completely different game.
If we don’t beat united it’s all looking very bleak again
Emery’s talking about the Ozil chance at 2-1, typical Ozil in a pressure situation. Ozil wasn’t the reason we bloody lost this game today.
Pedro – It’s hysterical nonsense, just like it was after Bate. Unfortunately hysterical nonsense is becoming increasingly common by those revelling in the critique shackles being taken off now Uncle Arsene is gone.
I meant to say one year contract extension for Monreal
That’s just the path of least resistance, the lazy route
What does Steve Bould do again ?
I think we’ll beat Rennes as well at the Emirates, we’ll take our chances at home but that’s not the point.
You can’t keep giving away advantages to these sides.
Really hope Emery isn’t taking on Auba now, in his latest anti big star statement, we are fecked if he is .
He knows how to win europa, he knows how to win europa,, if truly he does, he should have known that at 1:2, he only needed to do some sorta damage control. This has been the pattern we get evicted from European cup. Emery out
Auba is taking on himself, he’s the worst “world class” player I’ve seen.
Its glee when we point out how shit the new manager is???
Talk about deflecting!!!
Emery is dog turd.
I’ve seen wenger win games against far better teams with 10 men
Shit we held Barça to 1-0 for longer than this with senderos eboue flamini at left back and almunia in goal
😱😱😱
Aubameyang has been shit for ages and Lacazettes work rate and all round game has been carrying us.
Mcdaid
No you’re right. It’s Steve bould’s fault.
I saw Rennes a couple of weeks ago their pace was always
going to cause us problems.
Our defenders I’m afraid need to get on the DW 40.
Honesty we play like that we don’t deserve top 4.
CL that would be an embarrassment of epic proportions.
I missed the start of the game but my mate cheered me up sending me a video of him getting the fans going singing we hate tottenham.
I have to say that we should have parked the bus with 10 men. We could have prevented the 2nd and 3rd goal. Brought in Guen to defend was a mistake. Physically, he is as weak as Ozil. Elneny should have been there. Auba was so shit the whole game, he should have been subbed out much early. Torr played too high up in the first half. He could have prevented PapaSok’s second yellow. Europe Cup referee seems to favor the home team. We still have a chance at home. Now that we lost the game, we’ll be playing more… Read more »
Makes it worse that none of the favourites in the earlier game won their first legs, could really open up in the quarters.
Leftside
Thunder doesn’t strike twice.
We won’t beat Rennes.
They will seat back and soak up pressure and catch us on the break…then we will have to score three unreplied goals to just take it to extra time.
Tomorrow on Le-Grove: “Tuchel vs Emery… Let’s get ready to rumbbbbbbble”.
Chelsea will win it and we would have missed an opportunity, not good enough to get top four.
Paulinho, that’s in part true… true Wenger believers are experiencing an opinion for the first time, no doubt.
… do you believe Emery is going to course correct Arsenal?
“GoonGoonerGone, you’d kind of hope if Wenger can make a final and semi, Emery might offer a little more.” Ah Pedro, I hardly post nowadays because when it comes to Arsenal I don’t do hope anymore (and I have supported them since 1971). I couldn’t stand Wenger’s smug face, his diabolical lies and misinformation and his latter years and I must say Emery was quite an underwhelming signing when he became our coach. Wenger was hopeless at defence and Emery is just as bad. A coach who can’t do defence, in my humble opinion, is not worthy of being a… Read more »
