Snapchatting racist abuse: A new low. A new level of dimness.

by .

Man, things took a turn for the worse yesterday. I have never thrown up in public (sober at least). That shame befell me on the mean streets of Soho… made worse because I was wearing my finest drug-addict athleisure (sick comfort clothes), the fancy shoppers did not view my involuntary actions with much sympathy. Worst trip to the dry cleaners ever. It happened FOUR times in the space of 50 meters. Totally soiled my new shoes as well.

But, but, but… I can see the v’s in the mirror for the first time since I was 19. Peak Freddie over here if you can handle the fragrance.

ANYWAY, enough about my problems.

Let’s talk about Arsenal’s.

How about a Snapchatter calling Koubilaly an n-word in the ground… and broadcasting it to his fans (lol, his two mates)? What in the actual fuck? In North London? At Arsenal? Are you fucking kidding me?

It’s despicable behavior. Arsenal are on it.

“We utterly condemn use of this type of racist language and have launched an investigation to identify the culprit,”

“We operate a zero tolerance approach, and anyone behaving like this is not welcome at Arsenal and will be banned from matches.

“We have an extremely diverse community of fans who are all part of the Arsenal family and such incidents are rare at Emirates Stadium. We encourage supporters to report any incidents as they happen to stewards or via our matchday alert service.”

Amen. If you watch the video, the person in question whispers the bad word, because if you shouted that in the stands you’d likely find yourself getting whacked. It wasn’t so long ago that shouting #WengerOut before the game started was a punchable offence.

Still, disappointing an Arsenal fan would stoop to that sort of shit. It brings us all down. Ban that person.

In Sporting Director news, Sky Sports are making noises that Paul Mitchell of RB Leipzig talent spotting notoriety, is interesting Arsenal. He’d be a great signing for us, he’s proved himself at Spurs and with the Germans. The only thing that worries me there is that he might have an allegiance to his old employees.

Still, we can hope until we put a deal on the table and he goes somewhere smaller.

BIG rumours that Xhaka might move to Inter Milan this summer if they don’t get Kroos or Rakitic.

I mean, I’m a bit whatever about this… he’s a good player, but ultimately, I don’t think he’s ideal for the Premier League. He’s been far better of late, but that’s because he’s improved on making a major mistake every game. We’ll see though, sounds like he’s angling for a move or a bigger contract… maybe both.

We’re being linked with Ander Herrera for £200k a week. Tidy player, but surely there are better ways to spend that sort of money?

A bit frightening to think that the team who brought you Denis Suarez are currently overseeing the summer transfer plan without a proven talent scout at the wheel. Let’s see how that pans out.

Huge game for Arsenal on Monday. Watford are going to be a handful. We need to really up our away game mentality and deliver a really top performance. They’ll come flying out the traps and we know Troy Deeney will come to bully.

Let’s see what we have for them.

P.S. Check out the new Ian Wright collab Fokohaela have pulled together.

Ian Wright just being Ian Wright on that one on the bottom. A lovely piece of clobber! (one on the top is part of the range as well)

arsenal fans are fools… because, it’s only arsenal fans that think they have a better team/squad than Chelsea…

Chelsea… a team who have won two of the last 5 EPL title… a team who won the champions league about 8yrs ago… a team who might have won 3 out of the last 8 EPL title…

like I said, arsenal fans are deluded.

“You think it’s ludicrous that people think we should challenge for top four …”

You’ve done it again. You are again conflating the question of whether we can or should challenge for top four with the question of whether our squad is one of the four best squads in the league. Marko said it’s ludicrous to believe we have the third or fourth best squad in the league; he didn’t say it’s ludicrous to believe that we can finish top four. Those are two very different things.

Un Battle Angel

Marko aslo said the table doesn’t lie a few weeks ago . Now he’s saying it does.

“arsenal fans are morons… I have met a few of them in real life..”

Err what does that make you – You are purporting to being one by being on here.

If you weren’t so full of shit I’d point out that the average real Gooner has met thousands of other Arsenal fans in real life.

Jamie

Honestly, CG’s “the manager’s aura is arguably more important than even the results” is one of the best lines to come out of this comments section in so long.

Just think about it for a second. If you can do that without being stunned at the complete ignorance of it when considering top level sport, you’re a better man than me.

Aura more important than results! I’m dying here.

Redtruth

If we truly had the 4th best Squad, we’d be challenging for the title not sniffing around 3rd and 4th place.

Marc

Q.) Why did Bruce Rioch get sacked?
A.) Because ,although he improved results- he lacked charisma for AFC.

If you aspire to be a renowned, elite global club garnering mega commercial deals- you need an elite ,successful and charismatic coach-I would have thought.

MidwestGun

The biggest improvement from this season to last is the new manager has a clue the old one did not in his last season, especially. How do I know this. Because give Wenger Matty G and Torrierra he doesn’t play either one. Give him Papa and he would have him playing as a RB. and Leno starting over Cech wouldn’t happen.. Lichtensteiner would probably be our starting cb ala Monreal of 2017. Facts people facts. hahahaha It’s a pointless debate really.. the margins between 3rd to 6th place as far as talent are razor thin… but the gap to get… Read more »

Q.) Why did Bruce Rioch get sacked?

Err actually because he pissed of David Dein.

Rioch got sacked because Ian Wright whinged to Dein to sack him.

The table doesn’t lie in the long run about your overall quality in a given season. That’s true. But that’s very different from it reflecting the quality of your squad. Where you finish or stand in the table is down to several factors — incl. how well the manager managed and how motivated and focused the players were — not just the quality of your squad.

You lot are trying to reduce a football season to one factor alone: squad quality. That is only one factor. It’s an important one, but there are other important factors as well.

Charlie George

Marc and Red T

Correct answers.

That’s because Bruce never had the charisma or aura to deal with high profile players.( like Wright)

Remind you of anyone…??

CG –

Results > Aura.

You miss Wenger’s aura. Tell Jamie the truth.

For Rioch’s sacking, see how transfers were conducted after the GG scandal. His position was untenable.

Marc

CG

Fuck me you keep score adding points when you’re wrong.

Getting Ozil to put in a shift is a major score under you’re own criteria?

Redtruth

Of course Emery ts good enough to get Arsenal fighting for top honours, to say otherwise is ret@rded.

Bamford
Of course there are various competing factors, luck, injuries, tactics and spirit but why are you being unusually vague on this. Go in a bit deeper. Who from those two squads walk into our starting 11?
I’ve got 3 maybe 4 players.

Marc

@ Marc… you are right.

I know always have been. Except for that extra round of drinks – bad idea.

Bamford10

That’s also the season after they won the title — with more or less the same squad. According to some here, that Chelsea squad was the best squad in the PL in 14-15 and the tenth best squad in the PL in 15-16.

Deluded Red.
You know deep down that’s not the case.

All of you know that to.

No no no no no.
What we are saying is that our squad over the last 2-3 years was being misused and mismanaged. It was always a top four squad. It’s just that now we have a manger who’s using it properly

I don’t want Ozil putting in a shift….
I want him creating .. assisting goals.
The yeomanry do the dirty work.

Real Madrid players when they are winning multi Cls are not putting in shifts

They are footballers not coal miners.

I don’t have to. They are better. Every football observer who isn’t laden with some silly bias or agenda thinks this and knows this. Not to mention your “who would walk into our squad?” is a bogus way of approaching the question anyways.

ddkingz

@ Marc…. I know you are an arsenal fan, and that makes you a fool and also liar… so I won’t bother direct any comment toward you…

but just to clarify something, so you won’t get confused why you are been a fool and also liar… I was never for once, binned on here…

you deluded arsenal fool. lol

Wenger turned the 4th best Squad into the 6th best Squad in the league hence our participation in the Europa league.

ddkingz

Marc…. is a freaking liar… always trying to act like he knows everything…

It’s the simplest and most legitimate way of comparing player quality.
Compare each player position by position.
You’re clearly avoiding the comparison for a reason

“Aside from 3-4 guys on Le Grove — all with agendas — no one in all of world football thinks Arsenal’s squad is as good as that of United, Chelsea or Spurs”

Always comical reading these sort of comments. Don’t argue the point and provide metrics to discuss, just chuck in a phoney truism, hope it lands, and play it cool.

Interesting how the voices that disagree with a certain view are apparently with an “agenda”, meanwhile this lad has data comprising the input of everyone in world football – oh and it backs his POV up. Brilliant.

Man U have been shit since 2012
Liverpool have only just got into the top 4 last season

So before then we were top 4 shoe ins for the last 21 years
In short. We were. It’s only since wenger’s abilities took their final nose dive that arsenal stopped qualify for top 4
So if we weren’t of sufficient quality then wenger over achieved. Either that or our squad was top 4 all along

Marko

You think it’s ludicrous that people think we should challenge for top four… even though we are?

No I think it’s ludicrous that people think we have the 3rd or 4th best squad in the league

Don? I meant bam!!!

Marko

Q.) Why did Bruce Rioch get sacked?
A.) Because ,although he improved results- he lacked charisma for AFC.

I think you’ll find it was more of a question of lack of transfer funds and disagreement in that area

Marko

If we finish top 4 this season it will be the manager you love to hate who will be solely responsible for it and not because it’s expected of the squad. Because it’s not. And that’s because… it’s not a 3rd or 4th type squad

MidwestGun

Peds-
Just read the column… Sorry your feeling like sheeeee it. as we say in the Midwest.
Hope you are at least using the time to write the Le Grove Vomit Diet book.

Hollywood types love fad diets….that give you shredded abs.. .could be a best seller might want to work on the title though.

Words on a Blog

This whole discussion about whether we do or do not constitute a “top 4 squad” is more than just a little bit silly and wholly artificial. There is no such thing as a “top 4 squad” – the moniker is there because there very much is a premium place on a club getting into the top 4 and into the ECL. The fact is, in terms of quality, at the moment there is such a thing as a top 6 squad, clearly much better in terms of first 11 than the rest of the Premier League, and also possessing much… Read more »

Preseason , the bookies had us 6th by some distance (25/1)

Spurs 5th (16/1)

Chelsea 4th (12/1) and

United 3rd (15/2)

Would this be a fair assessment of relative squad strengths at the time?

I would have thought odds makers’ analyses to be detailed and comprehensive….

In 41 bundesliga games Jadon Sancho has contributed 11 goals and 20 assists. That’s some big dick shit right there

We’ll find out of you were right on Emery. _————– Weak argument as usual. By this measure No team Ever would over achieve as the table Never lies.

‘Marginal’ is a big understatement

People saying only 3 or 4 players from those teams would walk into ours, I’d say it’s the other way round

Kinda like Benitez better than Emery point, no? Especially since that data is shitting all over Benitez.

bennydevito

Exactly. Did Leicester have the best squad when they won the league? All the Sky, Motd and BT sport pundits also think we have the 6th best squad in the league and they all agree Emery is doing a great job. Chelsea’s whole defence, Hazard, Kante, Willian Hudson and Loftus Cheek are better than what we’ve got, Spurs and Utd also all with better defence and GK, as well as Martial, Pogba, Lingard, Matic and the Spurs midfield is better than ours. Out of a combination of all the top 6 squads probably only Aubameyang and Lacazette get in. Who’s… Read more »

BennyD, Forget CharlieG – trying to find any hint of logic or reason in his rambling stream-of-consciousness is pretty pointless and well nigh impossible. He decided Emery was shit after we lost our first match of the season to Man C. ChuckyG will be ChuckyG, no matter what anyone says or does. The concerning thing is that Pedro’s arguments about Emer, if not in the actual main posts but at least in the comments sections, are starting to bear uncomfortable similarities to those of the great CG. for different reasons, both decided long ago that they can’t bear the man… Read more »

The comment section needs to make up their mind on what a successful season is. I said before the season started, if we won no trophies but got into the top 4 the club would review it as a successful season as would I. It seemed an impossible task but suddenly we are in the top 4 race and people are coming out with the we have the 3rd best squad bs. Ozil was pulling in sick (allegedly) for most parts of the season and we all know he plays like an amateur when away from home. People overestimate the… Read more »

Anal is as anal does CC can’t help himself, but at least he keeps the blog lively when he’s snapping at everyone for facts, metrics and to keep to the narrative.

Welcome back Charlie boy.

Hopefully we’ll see Cesc Appeal and a few others back, such as N5.

Leedsgunner

Successful season for me is either an Europa League trophy and a top 4 finish. One might ask why both? One guarantees that we have Champions League football and both ensures that at least one of our rivals miss out on the same, personally I would love that other team to be Spurs after all their boasting about their new stadium but Chelsea or Utd missing out would be satisfactory. For next season, for me, it starts when the final ball is kicked. What are we doing to make sure our summer transfer window is a success? We simply cannot… Read more »

is ospina back for next season or should we sell him and get another GK to replace cech ?

We need a new CB and some wingers. Maybe a new LB too. Toughest job may be getting a replacement for ramsey.

Graham62

Although Ramsey has been playing well, it is only because of the circumstances.

Emery has got him playing a far more disciplined and structured role which, added to the fact he is leaving, has allowed him to display his massive benefits to the team.

Of course he is leaving because Emery cocked things up. Yeh, right!! Actually, he is leaving because our previous regime were totally clueless.

We need him for both Watford and Naples. My head though says wrap him in cotton wool before the Napoli game.

Yes , Graham and that Clueless regime also chose Emery…… when no Arsenal fan wanted him.

….but you think they got THAT decision correct?. Being very selective, here. ( as usual)
Old regime- certainly should have got Ramseys contract sorted. Accepted.

But it was Emery who withdrew it.
(See Ramseys reaction after Fulham goal)

That decision is looking more flabbergasting as the weeks go by.

It will ultimately be the decision that will get him the sack..

Great comment.

I it appears that many on here( and our manager) do not appreciate/understand artistry on a football pitch.

Aubamayang, Ozil and AMN will never be fully appreciated on Le Grove due to their laid back style and for making the game look too easy.

Give them a busy looking player with inferior technique and they will be happy …

Why

Because they” put in a shift “

Pierre Aubameyang great technique? Come on now….. And I personally don’t care if ozil doesn’t run about if he’s changing games and making things happen. A flick, a pass, a trick to get the crowd going. He looked good on Thursday because he was up for it. Anyone with eyes can see the difference. He obviously had a point to prove to Ancelotti who binned him and it showed. If only he could summon that attitude more regularly Nobody wants to see ozil diving into tackles on the edge of our area.
