Good ebening.
My granddad fought at the MSG in the forties in his first ever TV fight. He was knocked out. BY THE CANVASS. So last night, I revisited a piece of family history by attending the AJ fight. He was knocked out by a very fat man. What a joke. If the Champions League final is ever held there, I will NOT attend.
Did it ruin my day? Absolutely not. What a fucking MAGICAL Saturday people. A totally shit game. Perfectly executed by Klopp.
He has absolutely shamed our club. He has destroyed the notion that success cannot be achieved the right way. He has embarrassed the fans that stood behind stagnation. He has shown the way forward that so many people said wasn’t possible in a world of oligarchs.
It’s a 5 year run for Arsenal to make that happen. We need the right manager. The right vision. Loads of energy. A clear out of the jokers. A move towards absolute accountability.
It probably won’t come with the current leadership, it’ll almost certainly get worse before the owners realise what they’ve done, but rest assured, we’ll bounce back when we start doing things properly.
Anyway.
Let’s focus on what matters. Spurs lost. Summer can begin.

Rumors Chelsea considering Watford manager Javi Garcia if Sarri leaves
@ gambon
Yeah, I hear that the day you turn 30, your pace immediately disappears.Auba was top of the sprint tests last summer. He has easily got 2 more years in him at the top level.
Show me a serious club in epl playing with a +30 striker as a front man, a lazy one at that who needs 5 wasted scoring opportunities on platters to score one. Even the great TH got shifted before +30.
RH, thank goodness they ain’t in for Wolverhampton’s coach.
“Show me a serious club in epl playing with a +30 striker as a front man”
Whos that argentinian guy? Plays in light blue…..think its Sergio Agara or something like that?
“RH, thank goodness they ain’t in for Wolverhampton’s coach.”
Why?? Because you rate him and think he will win us the league if appointed??
If true

Is that what I said Charlie. You love being the center of attention why not give it a rest mate
I Thought Giroud was their best player especially second half. His movement caused our back 3 all kinds of problems and communication errors.. His pass was sublime and his header clinical.. He was highly motivated though and he is besties with Kos .. so knew he was done physically. I was worried about him before the match and he proved me right unfortunately. But no… I don’t want him back.. over the course of the season he goes missing because of his slowness and when teams crowd the box. he could be easily marked out of matches. He also had… Read more »
“Is that what I said Charlie. You love being the center of attention ”
Very needy man
Auba for the all the hoopla surrounding the misses is still scoring alot of goals on less shots than he would usually take.
We’re all speculating that he wants to lodge xhara mustafi … we don’t know
Ok ozil is a given. To go….
Laca I think want Barca .
Pea would have 4 more years at an italian club. Only 2 in prem
That Sissoko meme with the Air Jordan logo and his hand straight out is top notch… whoever came up with that is a meme creating superstar.
You all like attention or you wouldn’t be on here.. nobody wants to talk to themselves… Unless your Steve Bould I guess. hahahaha
Mid that was my favorite meme
Haha ‘body shaming’, leave it out. Never understood why calling out fat people was seen as body shaming, it’s literally one of the only physical aspects of yourself that you are in full control of as opposed to being short, having a wonky nose, or shit skin or a balding hairline.
Lamps was a lardy little tubster at WHU, clearly was banter by the time he was shredded in his Chelsea prime. He added fuel to the fire by reacting to it over the years, would have been best off laughing it off.
Anyhow, I hope we start doing something soon… Or Pedro isn’t going t have much to talk about.. God forbid he might start posting more XG stats and graphs.
“God forbid he might start posting more XG stats and graphs.”
Please don’t give him ideas
Seems we’re being linked with different names each day, never a good sign that.
Licht fucked off is a start I guess.
Litch saying bye to teammates thank fcuk.
What a shocking loan signing he was, well up there with Squillaci and Silvestre as the worst defenders I’ve seen in an Arsenal shirt.
Giroud represented everything that was wrong with Arsenal in late Wenger years, MidwestGun.
I hated L’Oreal with a passion, that face he would pull after missing another easy sitter made me crazy, I wanted to slap that face often. Wenger banter era when Giroud was meant to replace rvp.
Eagle-
Well the idea was right… hire a veteran grafter who can play multiple positions on short term.. But with our injury history you pretty much have to expect they are going to play and their legs can’t be shot in the high intensity PL. Hopefully the new dudes learned something from it.. with no repeats. 35 might be a touch too veteran.
Thank goodness, all those advocating to sell Laca can do little more than play fantasy football. Hoping against hope Raul and Unai are a little bit smarter.
@RH, cos he’d make them more competitive and play good football which affects our chances of top 4. And yes, he’d do a better job than emery
Jwl-
Yeah the L’Oreal I suck at football face.. was actually my avatar for awhile.. for the irony .. that’s why I’m rocking the Ozil… Eye now.
Not sure who I can switch to after this. Maybe the Auba Black Panther mask that Pedro thinks is Batman.. hahaha Idk.. Will have to work on it.
Pork pies, sausage rolls

If City get a CL ban does that mean we only field 3 teams in the competition this coming season or would they give the place to another team?
Marc
Citeh aren’t getting a ban their top paid lawyers will see to that.
England bottling the cricket.
Samesong
They’re beginning to piss a lot of other teams (and powerful ones at that) off and have already been fined for breaching rules.
It would be a big move by UEFA by it wouldn’t surprise me.
Marc-
What I read was City would appeal and the ban wouldn’t take place until next season if there is a ban. So I would assume whomever finishes 5th next season would get their spot for 2021. Assuming they finish in the top 4 again. The FFP committee moves slowly apparently.
Midwest
That wouldn’t surprise me – they make it clear a ban is going to be issued in a years time so they give City a chance to do something about it.
Man City are obscene, as our PSG.
I’ve no doubt they will weasel their way out of any trouble though.
Isn’t a high ranking member of UEFA related to someone on the PSG board or something?
It will be the same for City, all the football linked to rich Middle Eastern individuals…no fucking way UEFA does anything.
Wouldn’t touch anyone at Sampdoria with a barge pole…Too slow and one paced.
Mancini at Atlanta would be a good shout and might be open to leaving seeing as Giampolo might be heading to Milan.
The names we’ve been linked to are all depressing by the way
Wonder why West Ham are the ones going in for Gomes and not Everton where he was on loan.
In my view he did well for them
Isn’t Giampolo the Sampdoria lad and Gasperini the Atalanta lad
“Wouldn’t touch anyone at Sampdoria with a barge pole…Too slow and one paced.”
Already saw that with Torriera
I’m hoping the lack of news and links is because Raul and Emery are sitting around making calls to every team in China and Turkey to see of they want a World Class Fortnite player.
Don You said you want your Arsenal back which can only mean you want Arsene FC back.No wonder this club will keep failing.Fans who are wedded to what they see as “quality” football all stemming from Arsene Wenger.Liverpool FC and their fans have never had hang-ups about “quality football” like Wenger fans although some of their teams in the past gave just that. That club and their fans value heart, bravery, commitment and work-rate in the shirt over any “quality football” and they are the the team with the superior history in the past and currently.Just let this club try… Read more »
Reports that Ozil and Emery have well and truly fallen out.?
When Ozil commented to him he was no coach?
But then again Ozil has fuck all of late to spout about.?
MidwestGun – sounds like Mustafi or Xhaka will be your next avatar if your criteria is dopey twats that irritate me a lot.
It’s so very Ozil to play like a pathetic gimp for 70 odd mins get pissed when hooked and then blame someone else for it.
Un na naai Arsenal were Arsenal long before Arsene Wenger came on the scene. I was proud of my club well before the quality football scenario. Unfortunately, I became embarrassed and somewhat ashamed of my club when they started to disrespect us as fans. When we had AGM’s or Supporters forums(AST etc ), none of the attendees had the bottle to voice these perceptions. It was all based on shareholders and the money men. We stopped being a football club and became a corporate product. In my opinion we have probably one of the weakest fanbase’s in world football. Don’t… Read more »
Is there a cheap player in the world that has not been wished for here today….soon you will start daydreaming about Lucas Perez.
Can’t we ask for Sane and be loud about it?
Not realistic I know. But if the guys running The Arsenal show no ambition, can’t we show a mock one here at least.
It aches to see guys asking for strikers the level of Asano.
Ozil is an utter disgrace.
Nothing else to add.
But do you remember it coming out last year that a lot of the Arsenal squad were pissed that Wenger just played and played and played Ozil regardless of how shit he was?
Ozil is Neymar without any of the talent. He thinks he is Arsenal and Emery’s treatment is a culture shock.
Wenger’s mollycoddling and that wage have given him an inflated sense of self.
Let’s wait and see if our goal- gifting Xhaka and our man Ozil will still play in that team next season.
Then you can really begin to trust the ‘process’ Emery always flog in Spanish-English.
Gentlebris
I take it you mean gifting goals to the opposition re: Xhaka?
‘Ozil is Neymar without any of the talent. He thinks he is Arsenal and Emery’s treatment is a culture shock.’
Culture shock is when you put his ass on the bench where he belongs, not starting him in an important final and leaving him on for 70 minutes.
Danny S,
‘I take it you mean gifting goals to the opposition re: Xhaka’
What else would I mean?

Yet again. How many times do I have to say, this is not about wenger!! What the fuck is wrimg with you lot it’s like night of the living dead

You’re fucking addicted to it.
Last time. This has everything to do with winning whilst playing good football, nothing to do with any one particular person
I don’t care who is in charge if we have an identity, a purpose, play the football we are renowned for and revert to winning ways.
@Graham62, Arsenal was in steep decline before Arsène arrived. The football was dire, our main striker wanted out. Our current manager was out of his depth. Our previous manager had been caught with his hand in the till. We were on the way to irrelevance a la Aston Villa, Everton. When Arsène arrived, he revitalised the club and the fans. Because it was instantaneous and the football was scintillating, we attracted a lot of new fans. I would say that a lot of those new fans have only known the overhyped Premiership. They have a sense of entitlement. Everybody think… Read more »

Don’t waste your time.
Anyone else having this strange feeling that the £40m figure was just a plot by our guys upstairs to create a soft landing in the market?
What’s the name of that dude Monaco was asking us £100m for? Lemar or something.
Maybe our guys are trying to avoid such funny time wasting drama.
Wishful thinking?
Maybe.
Imagine ozil telling someone he ain’t a coach
I’ve noticed the knives are already sharpening on Le grove for last season’s signings.
Lichsteiner, Guendouzi and Torreira ….nothing changes on Le grove does it .
What happened to the days when Arsenal fans used to support their own players.
Un ” This has everything to do with winning whilst playing good football, nothing to do with any one particular person I don’t care who is in charge if we have an identity, a purpose, play the football we are renowned for and revert to winning ways.” The trouble is Un, is that the football we have been renowned for during my life time supporting The Arsenal since the mid 60’s has been boring football with only the occasional bit of flair like Charlie George, Brady, Rocastle, Nicholas. Wenger completely changed our style of football and the fear is we… Read more »
Pierre
You tell other posters not to criticise players and yet you are one of the most vociferous critics of the current head coach.
Personally I am not concerned about departure of Lichsteiner. This was not a
great signing. He may have arrived on a Bosman, but he cost us £100K pw in wages.
Pierre,
it was the time when the players knew the old fashioned stuff like the right ethos, bottle, grit, fight. Now? Fuck the lot of them, overpaid primadonnas.
If I had my way, there would be a purge in the squad, half of them can go now. Immediately. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Emery should have said you are not a footballer.
End of
Lichtsteiner on £100K?
Jesus Hitler Christ.
Crystal ball gazing Pierre, who’s to say we won’t be able to acquire technically gifted players who can also be relied on more than the ‘technically gifted’, unreliable Ozil/Mhiki.
Surely it’s about the team…
Ive got a good feeling this is the last we see of Ozil. I think that he has played his hand enough times and the insult to the coach was icing on the shit cake made for OZil.
We will surely find a way to get rid of him. pay half his salary and tell him to F off
Stroller
Any new manager coming into Arsenal football club would /should had made the defence the priority .
There should be no defence of Emery regarding his failure to make even a modicum of improvement despite signing a good goalkeeper and 4 defensive based outfield players .
Sorry ,no excuses.
I have been a long time supporter of Ozil, but his overall performance and commitment in the past two months was dreadful.
I appreciate that there may well be a difference of opinion between him and Emery over style of play and tactics, but he is supposed to be a ‘professional footballer’.
When a club pays you £350K pw I expect you offer 100% commitment. Yet
it is blindingly obvious that is no longer the case.
If Ozil does not like Emery’s methodology then he should at least respect the
club who have supported him through thick and thin.
Yes Pierre. The technically gifted, yet mentally and physically weak Ozil. The technically gifted, yet very inconsistent miki who we only ended up with because if wengers mismanagement of contracts. Auba, I do like. Though he has a lot to do to be the finished article. And my god I hope it is the end of an era. Wenger aded flair and attacking ability to a rock solid foundation. Over the years, and especially when dean went that foundation crumbled yet Wenger kept building on top, merely patching the foundation when he absolutely had to. Once it had totally gone,… Read more »
Marko/Receding
Talking about being needy or centre of attention? You’re both on here daily without fail popping off at the same lot. Have a word lol
Also in the modern pressing system the whole team has to be on board. You can’t carry anyone. We are on a shit budget and emery is going to have to fight tooth and nail for every player he wants to fit his ideal. I’m very confident that next season we will shift half the goals we have this season. I’m hoping emery has tinkered, tried to get the best out of every player before he decides who he moves on. Technically the team he inherited wasn’t terrible, so his first job is see who he can salvage. Unfortunately mentally… Read more »
Pierre No-one disagrees with your statement about our defence, but let’s be realistic a new manager/head coach needs time to assess the players on his books. There were many people at the club who believed that Bould was not to blame for the terrible performances of our defence, because Wenger did not listen or take his advice. Now the view of several people I have spoken to is different. My guess is that you will see Lichsteiner, Jenkinson and Monreal leave this summer. Personally I would hope that Mustafi and Koscielny will be also offloaded as well. Mustafi is a… Read more »
If we look at the defensive options Emery had when he joined, I don’t see why he didn’t think he could do something with them. Kos, was injured and ageing but is a talented CB. Mustafi – very fit, good in the air and tenacious. Why wouldn’t emery think he could coach some discipline into him? Maybe up his concentration etc Holding – young talented CB and was doing well before the injury Papa – brought in. Very strong and aggressive CB. Just what we needed and would be great with a level headed leader next to him. Mav- apparently… Read more »
Emirates
You’ve been the Liverpool of the blog for the past 2-3 months.
You’re the centrist truth teller.
Keep them coming.
Charlie that was hours ago. Get over yourself
Danny
Yeah, better not mention the January transfer window..
Ah pierre.
The jan transfer window is another one of your bones.
Tell us all what players we could have signed that would have improved the defence specifically? Or the team as a whole?
Baring in mind it was said in no uncertain terms that we had no funds……
Koscielny looks like he might be off
“Charlie that was hours ago. Get over yourself“
Sorry lad, didn’t realise there’s a time limit to respond to a dumb comment addressed to me. Making my point right there, I’ve been busy the last hour why not give that a go yourself at some stage.
Imagine if we had secured Wilshire, Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez and welbecks contracts 2 years before expiry like any competent club.
Ozil wouldn’t be on 350k, and we would have secured big transfer fees for the others.
But I guess that was emery’s fault.
Dissenter,
Re Emirates, I’d say “centrist”as a term is slightly (and unintentionally) pejorative. I prefer “balanced” truth teller.
Stroller Pre season ..Lichsteiner was regarded as a good acquisition, what happened. I’ll tell you what happened…whenever lichsteiner played, our manager had him playing at right back (fair enough) and expected him to overlap constantly and people then wondered why lichsteiner at the age of 35/6 was struggling. Surely a manager would say to an ageing full back who couldn’t possibly be match fit due to lack of game time …. ” conserve your energy, I don’t want to see you up and down the line , I want you to play as a solid full back ” … But… Read more »
Charlie you need to stop. I said that you like to be in the center of attention and here you are hours later still going on about it. You know you can let some things go
A RB overlapping? In this day and age.
Danny
“Tell us all what players we could have signed that would have improved the defence specifically? Or the team as a whole?”
Gary Cahill was sitting on his arse doing nothing….you are not going to tell me he couldn’t do a job for Arsenal , at t the very least he must be fitted than Kosielny who was flogged to death by the manager.
plus he could have included Mavropanos in the Europa squad to give Kosielny a rest.
Tanguy Ndombele!!!!!!!
It would be great if we managed to get anything for Koschielny
Lets give Raul a chance
Everybody,
For,all those still struggling to understand, in The Football World According to Pierre, there are Important Rules:
1) Right/left backs should not of past the halfway line unless they’re under 30.
2) Forwards and attacking midfielders, particularly those of Turkish or Armenian origin, should not be expected perform defensive duties.
3) Any manager who (God forbid) tells a forward to “track back” deserves instant dismissal.
4) Ozil is our Lord and The Great Redeemer.
5) Emery is fond of headless chickens who run around a lot.

No silly loans like we did for Ospina

Do you not know how the internet works? It wasn’t a text you sent you absolute spastic. You don’t get to make a snide remark and then say ‘drop it’ because it’s seen an hour later. Good god
Haha Pierre. You do make yourself look silly at times.
‘Yeah hi Chelsea, we would like to loan your defender please to increase our chances of making top four…. yeah the same top four you are also fighting for.’
*Laughter*
Words I have been looking at football wrong all these years
Fellow guns
Ndombele is player I rate highly.
It was at 17:51 Charles. A normal person would let such a nothing comment go but here you are 3 and a half hours later going on about. Fine I’m sorry you don’t like to be the center of attention. You’re a very reasonable person
Marko,
Absolutely. You’ve been too busy criticising Wenger, defending Emery from reasonable attacks, and debating the merits of Klopp, Poch and The Real Basque Christ on a Bike Arteta.
Meanwhile, for all these years, the answer to Arsenal’s tactical and man management has been staring you in the face: step forward 2019/20 Arsenal manager Pierre of Le Grove Fame, the man who will unlock Ozil’s (very well) hidden talents.
Yup Pierre will get his chances created stat back up and through the roof in no time.
Left to Pierre Ozil would play football from an armchair just outside the box and be allowed to take 30 min halftime breaks so he can have a nap and be totally refreshed. That should see an uptake in terms of production
Is it me or does the dragon queen resemble Caesar from planet of the apes when she’s pissed off? Quite monkeyish.
This is it lads in little over an hour I’ll mever have a got episode to look forward to ever again
