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
Valentin
Reiss Nelson was sent abroad to develop and get crucial game time. That’s what loans are for.
Next season, he wil be in a better position to challenge Mykhi and Iwobi.
In fact, he may be the reason why we let Mykhi leave this summer.
I really don’t know what smart-arsed point you’re desperately trying to prove.
He wasn’t ready for Arsenal this season an the Bundesliga is not the same level of quality as the premier league.
Marc
Are you liking what are you seeing?
Or you just another easy come- easy pleased, unambitious pigmy too.?
Our heights should be set higher – than this dross today.
When I attend the Brighton match.
( to thank Rambo 10 years of service)
I will be bringing my white handkerchief- and it will be out in protest during the game.
Emery ain’t my Arsenal
But he maybe yours!
Dullards together!
lets go City- beat the spuds- beat them good…. we need that darned GD!!!!!
Bennydevito
Did you manage to get tickets , if not then try going on to a Facebook group called Arsenal tickets, you have to join the group and fans post their spare tickets on there….my son has previously bought tickets on there..never been ripped off.
It’s free to join and the tickets are cost price….
Dissenter, what do you expect? Pedros been trolling us all season and imbeciles like CG have ran with it, Vic and Pierre are as transparent as they come and TR7 loves everything but Arsenal.
When these loonys type their drivel or Gambon (who said he wasn’t watching anymore in September) Pedro lets it slide but has a go at Receding etc who raise measured points.
Dissenter
Agree 100% – Pedro seriously needs to do something about the comments section. There was a debate a few days ago about some of the decent moderate posters we’ve lost. If he’s not careful Pedro’s going to find himself with a comments section who are slagging off the manager in 20 years because they are not Wenger.
The crazy thing is Pedro is now allowing the pro Wenger brigade to feed and grow when it’s the very thing he railed against for so long.
“”””One thing is pretty much clear though : Emery is average in every sense of the word.”””
Only fools dont believe that., though.
Well said and illustrated TR7
Infact, before bed I might just make a cup of tea naked from the waist down. Just to show my cajones
Dissenter
It’s quite frankly pathetic tr7 and victorius blood will be boiling if we get top 4.
They won’t give yhr manager a chance in his first season in the most competitive league in the world.
I hate to say it, “performances” don’t count when you have a viscous run of games like we do right now.
What matters is getting results. That’s what the manager will be judged on.
Really some people really want Emery to fail to prove themselves right.
We played the game in first gear, aka PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE
No, but I was made to believe Emery was brought in to stop the rot,except that was as rotten as any performance we served up last season
Technically speaking we are 4th with improvements made in points against top 6 away from home and points total already. Pretty much the definition of stopping the rot dum dum. Perhaps your expectation months on from Wenger were too much
66 Games, 17 Wins, 20 Draws, 29 Defeats. 86 GF 108 GA.Emery’s last season at Seville : 19 away games, 9 drawn and 10 lost, no victory. Never beat Pep, Mourinho and Simeone in La Liga ”
Oh dear, I think that about sums him up.
We have a hommer as manager.
Players are only as capable as the man steering the ship
Thanks mate.
Tr7
You have really gone down hill. Used to ve a good poster now you are just a cuunt troll tbh. Every post you make is the same whiny agenda filles bitching. Im sorry arteta didn’t get the job get over it you bitch.
All we need is GOH who is now a gangbanger judging from his threats earlier and Gambon and we’re complete.
CG
“When I attend the Brighton match.”
Fucking hell I take it all back – I mean someone actually going to a match.
You’re not a super fan you’re a fucking super hero.
@bennydevito,
I heard something different.
Both Carragher and Neville said that Watford with 10 men played better than Arsenal.
“It was a poor performance, but a good result.”
Do not confuse results and performance.
When is the last time Neville or Carragher have publicly criticised a manager before he is sacked? Nobody is ever doing a terrible job and should be changed for the sake of the club.
And God knows whats happened to TR7, used to be a solid contributor when I first came here years ago.
Classic Charlie George, as usual.
Yes it was awful.
Yes we were lucky. And it’s about fucking time.
I prefer the team to be shit tonight, rather than next thursday at Napoli.
Very disapointed by TR7, as well….

The only thing Banford & Dissenter can show at night and on a daily basis are their busted camel toes!!

Victorious
Why don’t you show PSG stats under Emery…you muppet lol
Victorius he is doing such an awful job isnt he being fourth in the most competive league in the world in his first season and beating italies sexond best team. So average…. your lord wenger would have veeb destroyed by napoli and we would have bittled it against a 10 man watford.
Face it the manager you love is gone and he was asked to leave because he was a has veen who had wreaked his own legacy as well as wrecked the club.
Now fuckk off to untold
@TR7
Emery’s last season at Seville : 19 away games, 9 drawn and 10 lost, no victory.
___
Thats quite a remarkable stat. Fucking hell even the teams that got relegated that season managed to win an away game. Also don’t forget 4-0 aggregate score only to lose with a tennis score in the return leg lolololol. Shameful really.
‘You have really gone down hill. Used to ve a good poster now you are just a cuunt troll ‘
I guess all you guys want is an eco chamber. I wasn’t bad as long as I criticized Wenger but now I am a troll.
TR7 actually bemoaned the fact that the red card was given!!!
Who cares if it was 50-50 in our favor?. When My Freind was calling everything against us Monday last week, where were you?
I mean the level of anti-emery stuff has morphed some people into grotesque alters .
So long as it’s slanted anti-Emery, it’s okay
“Are you liking what are you seeing?”
CG : we’re on our way to the top 4 and to the ELC semies.
Fuck off.
This game highlights how we need Auba and laca together. With just Auba we were really trying to force the issue- we need a legit second scoring threat-
Now that Laca is rested- we will need him to really put a shift against Naples.
And then Palace on the weekend….
We are going to have dig really deep this week….
“Never beat Pep, Mourinho and Simeone in La Liga although this one is not quite damning given the teams they were managing when Emery played against them.” You do understand that it’s not actually Emery out there on the field playing against the other managers right? Seems like a lot of people think like that nowadays when the playing squad is still the most important factor in where to you end up. People praise Klopp constantly for example but where would he be today without massive investment in the team? Nowhere near Man City that’s for sure. (yeah, yeah, I… Read more »
Sometimes the sign if a good manager is getting those scrappy wins, god knows fegie had plenty of tbose.
Red, I’ve just shown Emerys stats away last season which Vic ignored. TR7 puts up stats from Sevilla only too, pathetic.
When I attend the Brighton match. ( to thank Rambo 10 years of service) I will be bringing my white handkerchief- and it will be out in protest during the game. You’re a fucking idiot. So last night you were talking about people attending the games should do more to protest the owner or the manager or whoever it was that you were moaning about last night and that you couldn’t because you live in Johannesburg and now you’re saying that you’ll be attending the Brighton game and will wave a white handkerchief. Man the balls on you. That’s very… Read more »
This comment section was founded on slating the manager so to now do a 180 and ask for it not to occur any more is mighty rich Each to their own. Stop trying to silence the free speech of people who think emery is shit Also This cut back tactic has to go It’s all he’s got. Where is the football? The through balls? The one-twos? The 20 yard curlers. The lobbed passes and chips? It’s the same fucking pass every single time. No wonder we get shut out so much. How fucking predictable. Without overlapping fullbacks we are nothing.… Read more »

How’s life treating you?
I come in peace. Lay off me, will you?
Life is too short for anyone to hold so much bile on a blog.
Just pretend that I don’t exist, that’s good enough for me. I try to extend the same air to you.
And right on cue marks comes out and acts like a prissy little bitch.
I bet marko got slapped up all round Dublin as a youngster.
If Emery is average but finishes above any / all of Sarri, OGS or the Poch what does that make them?
Funny how they’ll be a sudden rush of re writing history on other managers / making excuses for them or suddenly how having a load of away matches at the end of the season was a benefit for us.
This comment section is getting full of cunts who are full of shit.
Apologies to the guys who are OK but I’m really getting tired of the crap on here (Comments section obviously).
I know most of the fans ‘dont do’ nuanced around here- although there are some exceptions.
Can not one be in the:
Wenger Out/Emery Out category as opposed to
Wenger In / Emery Out category
Why do people assume just because you want Emery out – you want Wenger In
My viewpoint.
Emery is a shocking manager .
And Emery is an even worse fit as AFC
manager.
The man from his demeanour to his coaching prowess /record smacks of FAILURE.
If you want Failure- vote Unai.!
Tr7.
You are a joke and a fook we all hold in contempt aside from the akbs who haven’t moved on.
You twist everything to be be negative and Emerys fault yet give bo credit. You hace no balance do you honestly think its easy for a manager to come in and be in 4th place in the oremier league with a squad with huge glaring defencies. As forst seasons go he is having a wonder right now.
If you lot are really the superfans you think you are and what to be seen coming across exactly that way
Then the fact our manager has an atrocious away record to date should at least perturbed you unless actually you’re the ones with the agendas here, trolls and the like you label other with,
At least an aggressive Emery ultra should be able to pose a reasonable argument on why the man shit bricks away from home
Victorious, Thomas, Charlie, 2 battles… all baned from Untold ???
@Jason ” It wasn’t Kroenke blocking the move ,it was Wenger. He didn’t want to step down , he would still be managing Arsenal today if Kroenke hadnt fired him. And most likely would be 7th in the league and out of the Europa league.” Preach the word ! You know it !! It’s funny how people seem to forget this. If he loved the club like he professed to he would’ve stepped aside as soon as Pep was available. But he never wanted to leave, ever . Just let that sink in for a moment. Wenger stays at Arsenal… Read more »
You can’t review this game without considering that we have yet to play another tasking away game in 72 hours.
That’s the backdrop of tonight’s game.
That’s 3 points more than last season with 5 games left.
Well done Emery for stopping the Wenger rot.
Marko
Come on didn’t you know that the Republic of Wherethefuck faced down the might of the entire German Army in WW2. One old cunt went out with a white hanky and waved it.
Admittedly the Germans pissed themselves laughing but a result is a result.
Manure were the second best against West Ham but were also lucky with some deicsions. So what comes around goes around they say…. This was our lucky game- and thankfully we held on. Watford you can tell were kicking into third gear since Deeney went off. I not sure if he stayed on you would see the same team – they had no choice but to step it up We were scrappy but ill take this win and Im happy! Leno was great, Torr, and AMN- Now lets get Napoli… i hope when I hit refresh on my computer it… Read more »
@Dissenter : yes you can. Ask Charlie.
Do not confuse results and performance.
At this stage of the season it’s results that only matter. It’s weird but the only way that our away record improves is with wins but seemingly that’s not enough. Again it’s another night where Emery is getting the rod.
Hello High Leg
Thanks for the blast.
When I venture over London shortly
I would like to have a quite word with you.
( how would I go about this, anonymously)?
Guns
Emery will start with Laca and probably bring in Auba if it gets difficult.
He has to rotate.
He has to rotate.
He has to rotate.
He has to rotate.

Lol charlie goes mad. So frightening.
Hey guys. We won an away match, something you were all clamouring for and asserted was an issue.
I mean. You guys realize we won right? Away form has been and is a problem, something that isn’t going to fix itself in one match.
Even if they’d scored for fun today most of you would be making excuses like, it only happened against 10 men, it was only Watford, do it in Napoli and then we’ll see. etc.
Miserable mother fuckers.
Who said we’re superfans? We’re at least fans, you are a Liverpool fan, and one that wished we lose to Huddersfield. Your actually a fucking idiot.
@Dissenter,
Had Reiss Nelson stayed with us, he most likely would have received the same number of minutes of game time.
Mhikitarian was hopeless today, as he has been all season when asked to play right winger. He lacked all the attributes to play there. Even if we moved Mhikitarian on this summer, we will still have no idea whether Reiss Nelson will be ready.
“At this stage of the season it’s results that only matter.”
CG and vicuntious firmly disagree.
I guess all you guys want is an eco chamber. I wasn’t bad as long as I criticized Wenger but now I am a troll.
Nah but you should be worried that your commentary seems to be in unison with the likes of Vic and Thomas. They seem to agree with what you say and that’s a red flag right there
I don’t understand how so many are defending that performance!! It was pathetic, predictable and dull. It was the 10th best team in the league who were down to 10 men and they outplayed us and out fought us all over the pitch while our only answer was an overlap followed by a 6 yard cutback. And how is it these players are total fucking gangsters at home to Chelsea and spurs and Liverpool and Man U and Napoli but not away to Watford and Everton? How come they can get motivated at home and play good football and puck… Read more »

Not nice being smeared is it?
You are just the flip side of Banford.Two sides of the same coin.
Right-I’m done with you.Won’t be addressing you again,as long as you stay the heck away from me-comprehendi?
Dissenter/LG/Left Yeah, happy we won the game and I hope we finish top 4 so that we have some money to spend in the summer. But I can’t rejoice a bad referring decision even if it is in our favor, more so when I regularly express my concern about ever plummeting referring standards. As for Emery, I have no agenda against him. I never had any thing for Arteta either, I have never suggested we hire him. It is just that I don’t think Emery is good enough for us. Even Messi has his detractors, so not a biggie if… Read more »
God that was excruciating to watch. Watford deserved to get something from the game but I’ll take the win.
Now for Napoli.
Don and PhD ruining the comments section.
I don’t understand these pretenders that keep saying they wanted Wenger gone and that he overstayed his welcome.
Yet they keep acting like they are butt-hurt because he got criticized at the end.
Had fans kept quiet and civil, Wenger would still be at Arsenal, talking about the “next level is the next level” BS.
benny
The thing is it’s not 3 points better than Wenger achieved all last season. The team were circling the drain, if Wenger had stayed we would have picked up something in the region of 55 points. Probably would’ve been enough to match 6th but even further away from 4th and even further away from the top.
Some of the posters were exercising caution that this season would be a tricky one and not to expect much from this season/even next. Here we stand in Mid April well and truly alive in the competitions we are in and you have a certain group of posters being super critical as if we are underachieving. We are overachieving this season – whether you can admit it or not Was you expecting a title challenge this season? Or that another manager can come in and completely turn around the fortunes of the team in a short space of the time… Read more »
Funny to think that, under wenger, so many posters here would have celebrate “our great winning ugly style”…
PhD
“Right-I’m done with you.Won’t be addressing you again,as long as you stay the heck away from me-comprehendi?”
That’s all I ask for
All the best since you’re the every glowing paragon of virtuous of good manners.
This team lacks a natural dribbler and ball carrier, someone who can take 1 or two players on and beat them. It has a massive affect on how the team plays. Also just that players presence will create space as they drag 1-2 defenders with them wherever they go.
Mark
We had two until emery let them both walk for free
Marc
“This comment section is getting full of cunts who are full of shit.”
Nah, we’re just overrun at the moment by a few bad posters. If Pedro cleared them out, we’d be fine.
It’s not a defense, it’s reality. It wasn’t a beautiful performance, it was poor and they should have easily scored more, but it was good enough for 3 points. Watford need to be credit as well, they worked their tails off. At this point of the season the end result is far more important than how you got that result. It’s not going to suddenly click and then we’re Barca for the rest of the year. It’s April and all the results matter, all the games demand attention. We have a chance to finish above Spurs, grab a CL spot,… Read more »

However this last statement just sheds a light on why some here find you annoying.
Review that statement please. You’re way too smart to even write, that.

There’s a couple of names you can add to those but you are right. We disagree on a fairly regular basis but at least its a debate based on some sort of logic – obviously mine correct and yours misguided!

It’s you who’s been getting binned lately so I’d shut up and err on the side of caution if I were you. You don’t want another time out though most of or grove wouldn’t mind
High Leg “At this stage of the season it’s results that only matter.” CG and vicuntious firmly disagree Off course results matter. But style matters too. It’s a truly global sport.

TR7, I never said that you wanted Arteta, and you never used to just criticise Wenger frothing at the mouth like most on here, you was actually one of the more measured posters. Which is why your 360 is baffling.
People get irritated at posters like Vic because he is a fraud. When you hit him with facts he will go in hiding for a few days then peddle the same BS.
We’re on our way to the top 4 – maybe the top 3 – and to the ELC semis, whether the nostalgics of the wenger era like it or not.

Do you actually have a job,a life-or even a hint of a personality-you natural born loser?
Cazorla was 33 and returning from surgery. Further, given that his departure was announced prior to Emery’s arrival, it isn’t clear that Emery even had much to do with that decision. As for Wilshere, he was crocked and had been for some time.
Pedro has his favourites so this new wave of poster isn’t going anywhere. I’ve mentioned it before, that Jo.e is no worse or no less extreme than a poster like CG yet he is shown such little patience.
They’re here to stay.
TR7
“I don’t get this over sensitive reaction towards any criticism of Emery.”

Nothing personal from my end too. I like the way you argued the squad strength debate using Chelsea’s lack of a striker.
We had to get a result, we got a result.

You cannot be defending that out there today??
The tactics are so one dimensional is it any wonder we can’t win any away games? 6 yard cut backs
That’s it. Nothing else? No diorama. No one touch? No through balls no flicks nothing. Just cut backs. No skill no trickery no flair
Just overlap, by line, cut back
Rinse and fucking repeat
Highbury
You know what it seems daft to say but you are spot on and the closer we get the more hysterical and desperate these fucking idiots get.

Why such the parochial outlook?
We have the resources to play entertaining winning football- surely for the coaches in the top echelons of the game – that’s is the ultimate way of playing….?
Doesn’t matter what an absolute disgusting performance that was but considering our away form and you could clearly see towards the end on the bench with players there looking anxious, that was a brilliant result that would only increase their coincidence….
Anyway,my brief take on today’s match. Mhiki-waste of space-sell Iwobi-seems ponderous on the ball.Doesn’t have the natural instinct to deliver that killer pass,or to anticipate what he wants to do.Seems like he has some mental deficiency.Bit like Banford. As a team,seems like we were clueless today,hanging on for dear life.Bringing back memories of us under Arsene. It appeared we lacked confidence,ideas, inventiveness…When the pressures on,we wilt.Same ‘ole’-same ‘ole.How we snatched three points,beggars belief.But three points it is…This team,doesn’t feel me with confidence at all. But,I think regardless of whom we get in as a manager or whom the current manager… Read more »

A gritty performance away from home against a team in the FA Cup final, and more often than not playing against 10 men makes it harder as they sit back with everyone behind the ball and play on the counter. 3 points and a clean sheet. Now we can focus on finishing the job against Napoli. After that it’s Palace at home with Spurs away to City and Utd away to Everton. I predict a… Read more »
@Dissenter, Reiss Nelson has started only 4 games for Hoffenheim, he has played mostly as a substitute introduce at the 60/70 minutes mark. I honestly believe that Reiss Nelson would have started 4 games for us this season. With all the injuries we had during Christmas, January and February, he would have been the natural attacking option. Iwobi is our only natural dribbling high energy option. There was games especially away from home where we needed somebody to bring danger to the opposition box via direct running and not by passing to death. That is exactly what Reiss Nelson’s game… Read more »
Only 2 words for Guns of sf : Bravo, Sir!!
For all the talk that Cazorla is in good form, Villarreal are playing worse this season with him in the squad.
Villareal are in relegation mode. He has not made them better this season and I won’t be surprised if he retires or moves to Qatar/MLS to finish out his career.
Left The only criticism that I have of Emery is his helter skelter approach to tactics and team selection. I have never questioned his desire and commitment.
