YEEEEAAASSSSSSSSSS!

What an unbelievable night for Arsenal.

We went away to one of the most devastating attacking teams in world football and nullified them.

We made them look average.

Arsenal used their physical advantage and made a Carlo team look like a group of school kids.

Emery out thought one of the greatest managers to have graced the game.

Our players held their focus and kept a clean sheet over 180 minutes.

We landed our SECOND clean sheet away from home in a week.

We took on a high-pressure game and DID NOT bow.

The players everyone said were Wengerfied stuck a big middle finger up to world and showed the way forward.

Arsenal demonstrated that they can rise to the occasion. We showed that we want to be in the mixer come what May. We delivered a stunning result.

I don’t want to overegg this, but fuck it, I am going to. This is what we bought into. This is why we changed manager. This is what we wanted.

The most important part of this week for me is that it is clear we have a manager that doesn’t have an ego when it comes to his methods.

How many seasons have we watched the same mistakes made over and over again? About 10. I almost couldn’t fathom the notion of a manager that would pivot. Someone who’d assess what’s going wrong and make a better choice. Someone who’d suck up their pride for the greater good of the club.

Last night was all about Emery for me. That’s his imprint on the team. It was fucking majestic.

Now we have to go on and make it happen again in semifinals against Valencia. Our season can still go to shit. The players need to retain focus. Nothing is won in Aprill.

However… I will savour this moment. That was a big night in Europe and we shone by playing the game, not the team. A tactical masterclass. ARSENAL DOING A TACTICAL MASTERCLASS.

Wonderful.

ddkingzApril 20, 2019    17:34:22 le- grove is so f cking boring… just read a post on manure blog… where someone actually wanted young( Ashley) to make a deliberate back pass to aguero, so man city can win the league over pool… is that really how everyone hates to see pool to win the league. a manure fan, even said they should donate the 3points in that derby match as a charity to city, with +4goals difference, just so pool doesn’t >>>> Yep. I was saying that on here last week. My manc mate was telling me the OT match goers… Read more »

Giroud is a true gooner! He is Always red not a blue in his heart. But Chelsea have the option on a one year extension. As much as I’d like the chiseled beard back, don’t think it’s a good idea.
Mitrovic – no, prefer Rondon. But neither are majestic.

bennydevito

Radio,

Yeh I’d have Giroud back on a free too but he wants regular 1st team football so will leave Chelsea if they can’t guarantee him a starting role which we definitely won’t be offering him.

We should promote Saka.

Emery might go with Ozil tomorrow and keep Miki for Wednesday.

Hard to predict.

Marc,

Lol! It would be hilarious, CG especially would probably go into cardiac arrest, not that that’s funny of course but just an analogy.

The Unai Emirates, the Chapman Clock End, the Stroller south stand and the Wenger Wheelchair access area.

Bamford

Yep. Don’t think Ramsey would have started against Palace & one of the Wolves/Leicester matches. Özil will start against Palace. Emery has been less cautious over the last couple of months.
But,.with Ramsey likely out for up to a month & Xhaka in/out, I think he’ll revert to being more risk averse. We dropped a number of points in the first half of the season due to “playing safe”.

Sarri said that Chelsea will trigger a one year extension clause in Girouds contract

ddkingz

@marc… so true.

someone actually said that. on there…

ddkingz

I’d have giroud over welbeck… as a third choice striker at whatsoever age he is at the moment….

so much love that man.

Crimson

Benny, very different positions.
Saka is a little too young for the proper first team. (Amaechi is just as good, if you watch the under 23s)
Nelson will be ready to go next year.

“Are you still of the view that Mane is nothing more than a slightly better version of Gervinho ☺️”

LOOOOOOOL
This was legit funny 🤣😂😂😂😂

Marko

We dropped a number of points in the first half of the season due to “playing safe”.

Did we? We also went 22 unbeaten first half of the season too. Also define “playing safe”

Versus

The players everyone said were Wengerfied stuck a big middle finger up to the world and showed the way forward.-pedro I guess this is a shot at me and those like me. I usually use the term ‘wengerized’ but ‘Wengerfied’ is fine too. Ok so yes, the players done well and proved alot to us and themselves. However I’d like to nit pick a little and say, the term for me describes the inevitably factor of the players. They won’t fuck up all the time. They may even go so many games without a major mistake to where you forget… Read more »

Who watches Valencia regularly? Trying to weigh our position against them. They seem to be a bit yoyoish they hardly beat Real Madrid and played well versus Barca. I hope we don’t stumble in another semi against Spanish opposition in this cup

DaleDaGooner

Un, i’d Hate to underestimate them. I’ve looked at their schedule, they did well versus some big boys in their league.

Thorough

Arsenal have conceded only one goal in 7 games since their away loss to Rennes? If this is true then maybe Emry is finally giving the defense the time of day or we’re just getting luckier considering the number and quality of chances we still concede every 90.

This Jamie vs Un na stuff doesn’t bring any value to anything Arsenal

When you start making toilet statements like this, you’ve lost.

Leftsidesanch

Rashford better than Auba? Typed with so much confidence too, absolutely laughable statement.

Jamie

No way Rashford is better than Auba today. In 18-24 months, though, things might look different.
