First on the agenda today. Jonathan Walters, a paragon of footballing virtue, has forced me into retracting my view on Granit Xhaka. I can criticise the man for many things, but calling it a duck after a deflection is probably TOO far.
I’m sorry Granit, I really am. Forgive me, let me be the spare key to your heart.
Arsenal are rocking another game tomorrow, there were some unfounded rumours that Kieran Tierney had had a major setback, absolutely not true, he is going to land a start in the EuroPUB League (lololol), with Bellerin the other side. That’s awesome. It’s the last piece in the ‘if Emery had this, we’d be winning the league’ jigsaw. Bring it on.
To be honest, I kind of find that competition a little bit of a release. It’s like playing football with the year below when you were young, we’re going to be totally dominant, we’ll see an electric game of Emeryball, only to find ourselves crying into a pork pie this weekend when it all comes undone.
Talking of coming undone, Spurs dropped the most humiliating defeat in ENGLISH EUROPEAN FOOTBALL HISTORY last night. Quite the achievement. They lost 7-2 AT HOME to Bayern Munich. Serge Gnabry picked up a whopping FOUR goals, then tweeted out that North London IS RED. What a boy.
Attention quickly turned to Tony Pulis who was actually on Sky and said that he thought it a minor miracle that he is where he is. I know we all banter the shit kicker, but ultimately, he wasn’t leaving elite talent on the bench to be a dick. He claimed he could rarely get the player fit.
This is another reason Arsene Wenger should be facing some sort of FIFA Panel for high crimes against Arsenal. First crime, sending a direct pacey winger that is short on loan to West Brom, a team that play percentage balls to the big lad up top. HOW IS SERGE A GOOD MATCH HERE (Ben Knapper now in charge of sensible loan decisions).
Secondly, big shout out to Ivan who elected NOT to give Serge a new deal before he went away with the national team for the Olympics. You could say he was being careful with the pennies, but let’s be real here, this is a CEO who sanctioned £52k a week for Nik B, a 5 year deal for Abou Diaby, and seriously allowed Arsene to sign a player with a broken back.
Serge always looked reasonably talented when he played for us, appreciate he might have been a bit off the boil, but wow… Bayern noticed he was good.
We’ve lost Jeff, Malen and Gnabry to free transfers… and Aaron Ramsey.
Retention policy simply has to improve moving forward.
… went off on a rant there, it’s over for Poch, right? Whatever went on at Spurs this summer has rocked his standing in the club. He might recover in the league, but beyond this season? He’s off, surely?
SHORT POST today. I’ll be back tomorrow. See you in the comments.

Good line up
No Ozil?
I bet our guys in charge have it in mind to reduce Ozil to distant history no matter what.
Can’t say I don’t salute them for that.
I can’t believe no Ozil.
AMN and Nelson will play as wingers…. obviously.
AMN gets a chance in his preferred position.
I think that’s good of Emery, as stupid as AMN is it isn’t nice playing a position you don’t like so he’s going to get a chance now because of that.
I like that team for the most part, Pepe should have started in my opinion though.
Yeah, agree with others. Ozil must be gone.
Great news.
At least Emery should be able to rise up to the level of our opposition tonight. To demand more of him is unrealistic though.
Torreira, Willock, AMN, Dani Ceballos on paper appears like a mobile and dynamic midfield…interested to see how it translates on the pitch.
Saka rested which is smart, started on Sunday and he needs to be protected.
Pierre
I rest my case.
Ozil is history.
*Starter on Sunday
Trouble is with Emery, as Ozil fades away to nothingness and edges towards the door, born is a new focus of our misery in Xhaka.
At least i suppose Xhaka isn’t on 350k a week.
I agree with Gentlebris.
AMN plays RW,
Reiss LW,
Martinelli striker and
Ceballos ACM.
Good back 4 and a chance to see AMN away from the defence. No Ozil whatsoever. Happy days
So AMN gets to play in his favourite position.
Could be Ceballos like in Spain playing on the left and Reiss on the right.
Then Willock as CAM and Guen + AMN in CDM/CM.
We’ll see.
Saka is a starter now which is some exciting stuff
Graham you are defending a manager who you agree is clueless.
I like the lineup that said I’d like to of seen Pepe on the right he needs THAT game to spurn him on this seemed perfect opportunity.
Didn’t expect a front three of AMN, Martinelli and Nelson can’t fault that.
Let the healing begin Unai.
Raptora, AMN is playing on the wing and Ceballos plays 10….too obvious.
AMN being moved out of defense finally. Now let’s see that marauding winger or silky midfielder he fancies he is.
Pepe is on the bench, he can come on later for some morale boosting run out if the game goes well
Where will AMN play midfield or wing forward
That treatment of Ozil that I predicted. Fucker should have taken that loan to PSG.
Gentlebris,
I said could be. And I’d like it more than what you mentioned.
It’s not about defending a Manager Pierre. All the puppies in London know Ozil shouldn’t be allowed to get away with his behaviors. If Emery knows that too, it doesn’t make him the smartest prince in the castle.
Un nai
Boycott Disney?
You never learn, do you. I remember you champing at the bits about boycotting Nike. How did that end up for you?
There’s a kaching sound of a cash register going off every microsecond because Disney is making money hand over fist. Who cares if you boycott?
ANM has developed some attacking instincts on the flanks, we should see how he does as a winger.
This lineup is nice. Maybe should be a starting lineup for our first team just add AUba
Would like to see Pepe get some minutes today, boy needs to find his feet sharpish.
Pepe hattrick
Interesting line up indeed.
Good to see that Auba is not starting. But he is on the bench…. UE seems nervous as ever and I am sure, if the game goes pear-shaped, he’ll throw him on.
ANN in MF. Hope he actually seizes his chance to show UE that this is the position where he is meant to play.
What is going on with Ozil?
I suspect he has all but downed tools.
No one should expect a good game from amn today.
OGS has set the bar for Emery tonight
And it’s Arsenal,
Arsenal FC,
We’re by far the greatest team,
The world has ever seen….
Ozil has no tools to down, you heard it here 1st!
You guys still seem to be very excited by Pepe but Saka is the guy.
I’m not that hopeful of a commanding performance from AMN but he might prove me wrong. Also Nelson really has to step up now. very slow start to his arsenal career compared with what people said about him playing in Germany
And there we go again. Pkayers chatting with the opposition.
Where is the ruthlessness (ignore them and focus on the game)?
Manure with 0 shots on target vs 4 on the account of AZ Alkmaar. Our point at OT looks more valuable by the day…
OGS has set the bar for Emery tonight
If 0 shots on target is the threshold…
Come on The Arsenal!!!!
Captain Bellerin. A strange sight.
Streams my fellow gooners
Raptora
Valuable point?
It shows that we could have beaten them if we were a little bit more ruthless.
Jwl
Noooooo!!?
You’ve ruined jokes Friday for me!
I worshipped your one lining ability.
Ozil should have been binned long before Emery arrived.
That’s a fact.
Nothing to do with defending Emery.
Dearie me, people watch Europa? The Asians too? Well past midnight for a lot of them.
They learn from Manure. Their GK starts a long ball.
Empty there.
That’s what happens when you don’t beat The Mighty Brighton Mr. El-Dicko.
Bellerin doesn’t look fully fit. Tierney looks much stronger.
You have to like rainy weather to live in London.
AMN is he awake yet?
Not at our level poor player
Any decent stream people?
Is it a fault on Reiss?
Good to see Hector back.
Decent start, look a bit toothless going forward though…
They almost scores. Bellerin was lucky
I think Bellerin is looking for one of them runs where he can really test his knee with his pace etc.
First thing you want to do in a competitive game after a serious injury.
What a fuckin’ goal!
This kid. Fucking hell
What a ball from Tierney.
Great goal.
Tierney’s crosses are fantastic.
Martinelli, the winger, with another headed goal.
Incredible instincts from the lad. Not bad for a non striker
Good goal!!!
Come onnn !!!
Nice header by Martelleni!!!
Hahaha
Marko happy to see AMN in his preferred position
Have I slipped into the the multiverse?
azed – https://www.soccerstreams100.com/
skip any links that say acestream, that is advertising.
What a goal!
That’s Giroud quality header btw. Great stuff.
Martinelli is not a striker my ass.
Thanks JWL
Ah you wankers you spoiled it for me
There you go play him ffs Emery, not you favourite
anyone have a link to stream?
Let’s just be playing europa
Fantastic goal, Tierney such an improvement on Kolasinac, his delivery looks consistently of good standard.
Another headed goal for Martinelli!
Yep.
Arsenal have found their level.
Group stages. Europa.
Goal in a jiffy.. Wow
Great fucking deliver
Superb finish by Martinelli
What a lad.
Brace already!!!
2 – 0
Roadman Tierney. Martinelli on fire
nevermind got it thx
Ha just as I say that Martinelli with a peach of a header. Fantastic cross from Tierney.
We could have something here in this kid, looks a different quality to any other youngster we’ve had in a long time.
Hahah we have someone special here for sure.
Wow. Just wow.
Have we got some player on our hands.
18 years of age.
Let’s just be playing europa gaskiyah
Well done Emery now keep him out of the side
Tierney reminds me of myself in the day
And Wilshere
Skillful left footers
Can shift one way or the other
Pass cross dribble
Guns of SF
Try Ronaldo7 or myP2P
Er…what’s going on?
Omg 😲
goal again
Fuck!
What a goal!
Fucking he’ll!!!
Come on! Really good goal by Martelleni!!
I’m thinking another 7-0 vs Standard at this rate!
Martinelli is the daddy
Tierney’s end product is mint.
We haven’t seen a goal scorer as natural as this since what Anelka?
This young side step up to occasion for sure.
Play much better football.
Tierney=proper footballer.
