HAPPY MONDAY MY FRIENDS I AM FIT AND HEALTHY AND READY… to… you know… go to work and be a good citizen.
Did you like my headline? I was trying to be motivational. I say that sort of shit when I get paired with my GF in table football. Never helps, but you gotta sound the big man in front of the lads.
Anyway…
The Monday MEGA GAME is here!
The next level in sports entertainment.
Arsenal vs Watford.
A clash of the Titans.
A matchup of good vs evil.
Winner takes… well, nothing. But if we win, it’ll put us in mighty fine shape to finish the season in the top 3 of all places.
Imagine?
Liverpool put Chelsea at a disadvantage in the race, defeating them in a 2-0 victory. There were no Gerard like slips yesterday. Sarri is once again a massive fraud.
Now it’s over to Arsenal to crank up the pressure and keep pushing on in this very exciting race.
What adds even more importance to this game now is that Spurs play City this week in the Champions League then the league at the weekend. Both games are AWAY. We could genuinely bring top 3 into play again.
… or we could bottle it and make things really difficult for ourselves because we’re weak minded and feeble.
I have no idea how Emery is going to operate.
This evening, unless Mavrapanos has had some sort of Maldini like transformation in training, will likely see Mustafi in defence. A huge worry for everyone involved. There’s a great Getty image of Emery looking at the German the way we all look at the TV screen when he careens into an unnecessary slide tackle or throws out an elbow for no meaningful reason.
I don’t want to guess how he’s going to take on the starting 11. I think we need to be careful about how we line up, but I think I’d gamble on a strong starting 11 and then take players off once we’re ahead… vs start weak, go a goal down, then chase a game with our best players.
One thing worth noting is we had Napoli beaten early and took off Laca and Ozil on 67. I actually thought that was a more interesting point when I started writing it. I think I was hoping Ramsey had also come off, and closer to 55 minutes. Ignore that… but know we could do it against Watford if we have a strong first half.
Despite the worries, our record at Vicarage road isn’t that bad. We lost last season, but we’d won our previous 4 in a row before that. This is a good Watford team, no doubt, but if you want to fight for CL, you have to be able to beat a team that’s sitting in 10th. They’ve lost 3 of their last 6, dropping full points to United, City and Liverpool. Sure, they can be impressive on their day, but I think things are going to have to go really well for them for that to happen tomorrow. Key for us is to not let their physicality get into our heads.
My one worry with them is they’ve had a full 7 days to prepare for us… not pesky midweek game to deal with. They’ll be packed full of energy, they’ll be revved up and they’ll have a game plan they’ll be confident of executing. We’ll have a bit of rust in our legs after the win on Thursday that we’ll have to shake off quickly if we’re to overcome them.
Momentum is hugely important now. Tensions are up, confidence should be on-point… all we need is a focused week of victories. We really need the best of Emery here. We need the best of our players. We need the best of luck.
COME ON ARSENAL x
Comments section gone to the gutter since CG has been back
he should know that I have a particular set of skills that I have acquired over many years.
Is one of those skills beating someone up and then going around to where they live to do god knows what to their family? Very cool
Jamie you little pink haired daisy. Triggered??? When you grow up and move out of your mother’s spare room you’ll understand that a night in without the kids and the mrs is something to be savoured.
Also, please explain my bigotry? Is it because I’ll schooled you after your mutton brained comments over the bastion of equality Dubai? A place filled to the brim with bigots but that’s ok isn’t it Jamie. It’s ok for homosexuality to be illegal in Dubai isn’t it. That’s not bigoted. That’s culture.
CG you still haven’t stated how Emery has made Arsenal a smaller club in 8 months.
I sincerely hope that I ace gracefully because whatever it is that hit you and Pierre, it’s quite scary/hilarious and bemusing all in one.
Aubama-fool
I’m not surprised you think it’s okay for any poster to talk about raping another person’s children.
You need to stop sniffing at my arse man. Find someone else to take your crap to.
There’s banter and then there’s idiocy.
Ah, thank you. I said I would fuck FL up to prove how ‘plastic’ I am and then go to his house and kill everyone. To use the utterly horrendous “rape my children” to gain support is low. Either way, I shouldn’t have reacted in the way I did. I offered an apology to FL and he called me a cunt again and told me to go fuck myself. You can’t please everyone. But I forgive FL for he knows not what he does. I don’t like to think of myself as Jesus as that wouldn’t be fair on him… Read more »
Shall we drop the “raping children” thread here. It wasn’t said.
No doubt there will be a Mandela Effect going on and everyone will swear blind I said it.
This used to be blog about Arsenal.
Hackney
If I were FL, I would have filed a formal complaint to the appropriate UK authorities. You threatened to rape a child!!!
That was the lowest of the low, the sickest thing anyone can ever say to another.
You wrote that while you were nursing your own baby!!!
An apology cannot resolve that
Just fuc* off
“Guns of HackneyApril 15, 2019 19:23:20
FLI would love to show you how plastic I am if we ever met. After fucking you up…I’d pay a visit to your home and have some fun with anyone I found there. Do not address me again”
how else is this to be interpreted you peado?
Maybe lay off the billy big bollox commnts if you don’t want people to take them at face value fucknuts.
And no, you’re not funny, just a bitter, sad “man” with anger managment issues.
“This used to be blog about Arsenal.”
This place is becoming worse than Untold.
“and he should know that I have a particular set of skills that I have acquired over many years.”
What a fucking tart.
FL
Good work. You just proved that you lied about what I said to gain support. Here’s the thing about lying…you have to be good at it. Secondly, making up stories to suit your perceived narrative when the medium in question is the written word is even more dumb.
I owe you nothing but I would never under any circumstance even hint and sexually assaulting anyone, let alone a child. Period. No matter how angry I got, I still wouldn’t say something like that and you just proved it.
As for you Dissenter, apologise. You were wrong.
From what I gather on Untold, they were obsessed with Wenger, and shared the same ideologies/conspiracy theories as him but ultimately wanted Arsenal to do well as did Wenger.
This new wave of poster doesn’t like our manager who is actually doing a fine job with the resources he has been given and don’t want Arsenal to do well. Untold are arguably better than reading the same 5-6 idiotic poster’s comments daily.

The only think that tickles your fancy seems to be observing reasonable people showing appropriate outrage at disgusting behaviors.
Why would anyone keep quiet when a poster is threatening to ” pay a visit to your home and have some fun with anyone I found there”
Is that outrageous enough for you, Mr big man?
Are you shocked that anyone is stirred up enough to speak out against that?
Like I said, stop sniffing around my arse, We have never been buddies here, stop your idiotic sniping.
“Specialist in Success”
Shut the blog down. There is nothing that will ever come close to this as the most mental thing ever said.
Look, the last 9 years I was an ardent supporter of Arsene being moved on but his success far exceeds that of Emery.

Technically he did not threaten to rape a child but there is an inference he would hurt in some manor anyone he found in the property, in the context of the whole comment it looks like violence sexual or otherwise towards a female or children.
Having some fun with anyone i found there…
Monopoly
Cards
Chess
Play some smooth jazz?
Jesus.
How Emery has Diminished Arsenal. When Klopp wins the title for Liverpool He will follow Ranieri and Conte – in that it has been his personality and charisma alone – that has been the dominating factor for their clubs success. Unai Emery has not the charisma nor the required stardust needed for a modern day mega football club. He is nice chap. And has done well at Seville. That’s his level! He is the only man in the history of football – who got the sack after winning the Treble. And that’s because the PSG brand was in danger of… Read more »
‘If I were FL, I would have filed a formal complaint to the appropriate UK authorities’”
Yes I would
In my professional life, I have a statutory obligation to report suspected abuse, especially directed against children. I’m not going to sit through disgusting diatribe and do nothing about it.
Besides, if that’s what it will take for Pedro to do something…then so be it.
Ah, I get it, you were going to build a fort and play horsies with them, how could I possibly have misinterpreted that…
fucking weasel, I mean you’re obviously a disturbed individual and this isn’t the first time you’re threatening other posters but maybe it’s preferable to your normal idiotic miserable posts. Carry on being a cunt I guess until you get banned again.
In GoH’s defence he never said anything about raping anyone let alone children, so shall we all take it back down a notch?
What he said was something about showing him in real life how plastic he is and then going to his house and having some fun with whoever he finds there. Not very nice admittedly and what he actually meant is open to interpretation but to state as fact he said raping is simply not true.
Hackney
Fucking man up or fuck off.
You were not joking in that comment so now you’re embarrassed you actually said something like that you’re trying to make out it was a joke.
You don’t owe FL an apology but you should apologise to Pedro.
Marc
You contemptible so and so.
I do not think any serious law court in the civilised world would or could convict someone because someone else conceived a really weird story to suit their narrative.
What I said was bluster and bullshit but at no time did I threaten sexual violence to another person.
Some people are so keen on being seen as ‘right on’ they will literally flay themselves silly.
I started by asking Hackney what he would do if a child were the only person in that home?
He is yet to answer.
Hack,
That horse shit you posted can easily be taken as a rape threat against FL’s family.
You’re disgusting and vile, I couldn’t believe I read that yesterday.
You trying to now turn it to a ”joke” threat that you’d simply kill his family doesn’t make anything better.
Apart from a few years ago when none of you lot even existed on here…I don’t think I’ve been banned? I’ve never changed names. Unless I was banned and didn’t post and therefore didn’t know I was banned? Not sure. Anyway, for the sake of the site. I apologise for dragging it into disrepute. It’s a fab site with some genuinely funny people on here and if my brand of humour isn’t for everyone, so be it. In the past, I have been guilty of saying some unpleasant things and for that, I do apologise. However, I will not accept… Read more »

PSG’s problems surpass whatever Emery may have done or not done
They spent about 50-60% of their operating budget on two players- Mbappe and Neymar
They have a depleted squad as a result because the FFP scope is settled firmly on them.
Their Portuguese DOF is at logger heads with the German manager.
Their German manager was seen on tunnel CTTV going over to the CEO to chest-polke him about all their squad depth problems
I’m glad I’m not a PSG fan
I’m glad we got their manager. He’s glad he’s left that mess behind.
Ole/Dissenter
Alas, you can’t find people guilty of things because some of you think I was insinuating something.
End of.
“You contemptible so and so. ”
I clearly hit a nerve as you’re trying to take the high ground now. You should realise that this will be brought up for years on here, you’ve made a bed and now you’re going to be strapped to it.
I’ll worry about what I am when I’ve inferred I’m going to break into someone’s house and hurt whoever I find there.
Technically he did not threaten to rape a child but there is an inference he would hurt in some manor anyone he found in the property, in the context of the whole comment it looks like violence sexual or otherwise towards a female or children.
True.
He talked about having fun in your house with your wife and children after he fucked you up. How dare someone infer sexual assault
CG,
The club isn’t diminishing though is it? It’s improving on last season so your option is invalid.
As for Klopp, Liverpool haven’t won the league yet and if they do it isn’t charisma that wins it it’s money which Klopp has spent fuck loads – in excess of £350m.
If in 4 years time Emery has spent over £350m and we’re not challenging for the title you will be right, but 8 months in makes a mockery of everything you’re saying.
Marc
If you knew me, you haven’t hit a nerve I can assure you.
As I said, for the sake of the site and the good people on here with genuine insight, I have apologised. Which is actually more than most do after they have made a boo boo.
And as i said previously, banning people doesn’t work as we all know, said people just open new accounts and go again.
Anyway, peace.
So we should turn to mad Lehman to get our arsenal back.!
What a troll!
When Klopp wins the title for Liverpool
Just saying that if Liverpool and City win all their games, City will win the title. It’s not worth going back and forth with you, your in a world of your own.
Marko
It had to be you. Haven’t you got some do-gooding to be getting on with?
Is Syria still a thing?
How about rallying Le Grove to help rebuild Paris?
Guns
Really just make an unconditional apology and leave it there. Those that move on will move on…and those that cannot will not.
Stop all the silly prevarications.
A grown man with a baby will threaten another man’s family!!!!
CG don’t even realize that all he do is speaking in the void.
A brilliant troll he is.
Does anyone know that club – you know that one that’s growing smaller by the day but recently signed one of the biggest new kit deals the PL has ever seen?
FUCK ME.
I apologise.
Sheesh.
if my brand of humour isn’t for everyone, so be it.
Ah you detestable coward very good turn it around on others. You didn’t threaten to fuck up someone and have your way with their family at home and you weren’t bragging of your piece of shit father killing brown peasants it was all a joke. Lad’s just bad at jokes is all

4 years of him!!!
Do you want me to have another Heart Attack.?
‘Less confrontational of the blog? I’d love to see you at the game or in the boozer before hand and have some fun with you’
Typical internet badboy talk. Yawn. ZZZZZZZ. Shaking in my boots!
‘I never addressed you before you had a hard on for me so take your assumptions and fuck off.People including you spout so much nonsense it’s my obligation to call you out on it’
So which one is it, you’ve never addressed me before but you have to call me out on what I post? You’ve just finished yourself off there tough guy.
Guns I think I speak for everyone when I say we don’t care about your apologies and I agree it’s pointless banning you because you’ll just come back as someone else. So why not just fuck off then of your own accord and do everyone a favor and don’t come back. I thought you were finished on here anyway what with the “kid” you had not too long ago. Shouldn’t you be “having fun” with your own family in your own home.
Marko
You’re right.
“Do you want me to have another Heart Attack.?
That may not be a question you ask on here.
My father killed all colours and races. He was an equal opportunity soldier…because funnily enough, that’s what one may have to do when one joins the armed forces. Weird.
Yeah you weren’t bragging about him killing rich white men. Weird that
If you do have one make it at the Brighton match – when they remove the body everyone will know it’s you from the white handkerchief clenched in dead hands.

Please can you meet me when I am in London?

Taxi to the game.
We can have a proper Arsenal chat.
You would like me.
I can tell you – all the great teams and players we have had down the years.

A genuinely humble apology which I think is very magnanimous and we should all just accept it and move on in my opinion.

I hope that was written with a healthy dose of sarcasm BD , it was a shit apology and it doesn’t matter if it would have been the greatest apology of all time, there’s certain lines you just don’t cross. GoH is an absolute scumbag and his lame attempts at passing it off as “humour” isn’t fooling anyone that’s been reading the blog for more than 5 minutes.

@Dissenter, Funny how you keep gloating about PSG misfortune. May I remind you who is partly responsible for that mess left behind. Emery requested players such as Krikowiak, Jese, and others. Good money was squandered on sub-standard players. Those players whose wage PSG is still subsidizing are part of the reason why their squad is unbalanced. That is the reason why Tuchel is now at loggerhead with Enrique the DoF. He can’t buy his players because the previous manager squandered the cash. Having been burnt by a manager making expensive bad purchases, the PSG president has confirmed Enrique as the… Read more »
