Wenger book: MY SACRIFICE

by .

I am noise sensitive. Not in the miserable sense, but if I can hear the detailed undertakings of mouth and saliva mechanics, it does something to me. It’s rage-inducing, I could literally jump over a table and pull out whatever you’re swilling around and throw it at a waiter.

‘WHY DID YOU GIVE HIM THIS’

I have the same problem in the cinema. It’s acutely distressing to sit in a public space and realise that only a small percentage of an entire nation had parents that’d call them out for being disgusting. Yesterday, I ventured out to watch Joker… I sat next to someone that was quite possibly the vilest human being in existence.

He processed food like a cartoon robot for the entire 2 hours. He ordered 3 drinks, two plates of wings, a HUGE bowl of popcorn, and he had a Trader Joe’s bag of chaser snacks just in case his blood sugar level dropped 0.2% below heart attack levels of overdose. This guy swilled his ice cubes before crunching them like they were a snack. He fellated his chicken wings before devouring them… then he performed the same act on his fingers to deal with the remnant sauce. It was harrowing.

If I ever come to power… I’ll have ‘HOW TO BE A DECENT HUMAN IN PUBLIC’ classes for the kids.

  • Airports
  • Concerts
  • Cinema
  • Dinner table
  • Commuting

Anyway… the film was good, reminded me of the comments section here. JUST KIDDING GUYS DON’T KILL ME ON YOUTUBE.

So what has Ozil been up to lately? He’s only gone and launched a game, hasn’t he…

The game is called The Longest Kick. It’s basically what it says on the tin. You time yourself to hit a ball a really long way. Not sure it’s taking down Fortnite, but bravo to the German for using his downtime for something productive.

Arsene Wenger is back in the news AGAIN, this time, hawking the fact he has a book deal coming out.

“Regret is maybe I sacrificed a little the winning potential against the loyalty potential or desire to build up the club & influence I had when we built the stadium, against the fact I could’ve won more by going somewhere else & being less limited financially”

It’s going to be insanely choked full of propaganda, I honestly can’t wait to read it. Cannot imagine that I’ll be on the book tour list of people to shoot the shit with, but regardless, it should be a fun read, because he has ZERO shame, and I am pretty sure this is going to be a legacy fixer. He cocooned himself from the real world when he was managing us, I think he’s now caught up on the shambles, and he’s embarrassed. He did not expect the world of football would reject him. It has been a sobering expereince. His chats to BeIN have gone from ‘I’ll be back shortly’ to ‘I SACRIFICED MY BEING FOR THE GAME I DESERVE, ME, ME, ME.’

If I were his publishing company, I’d take the book in the three parts. The good, the bland, the fucking disgraceful. Long it out, there’s surely enough of a market to sell all three. I’d also like him to go into detail across all three parts of his career. 300 pages is not enough space to do justice to his mixed bag career at the top.

I also hope there’s some sort of overarching theme across all three of them. It’d be nice of the book was useful in some way. Carlo had a book on leadership, it gave you a fix of Palace intrigue, but it also gave you his principals of leadership. Clive Woodward also had a great book as well. Would love to read something like that from Big Weng.

I just hope it isn’t an attempt to rewrite history. Some lame counterbalance that he thinks will tip elite recruiters his way. Just give it to us honest. What can WE the ordinary folk learn from someone that let power destroy his purpose in football?

I also don’t want the read to be a victim piece. Own it, Arsene. Arsenal gave you £100m, ten years more than you deserved and absolute control of the direction of the club. If you failed, it’s because we gave you permission to do things exactly the way you wanted to do them. Insipid leadership from Stan, embarrassing toady behavior for the Failure in Chief that is now tanking in Milan, are all valid points… but ultimately, it was all on you. If you’re too power-drunk to ask for help, that’s your problem.

I hope he has a good ghostwriter, he should go for someone like Rapha Honigstein. It’d show character to approach a penman that’d have a neutral view on the narrative.

Finally, Unai Emery’s deal is not up next summer. He has the full 3 years. That’s depressing. Like turning up to the airport a day early. Best hope he lands the Champions League this season if he wants to see the year 3 of that deal.

Right, that’s me done, see you in the comments. x

Yep, it was much easier thinking Emery was only going to be here until May at the latest.

We can always hope that Ornstein is wrong this time.

Why is it that there are concerns about a managers contract when, by using our voices, all problems can be alleviated.

Arsenal fans have this innate capacity to analyse things in far too much detail.

What are they scared of?

Regression?!!?

I think things were kind of rosy between the 2 countries.

Then 2012 rolled along and relations went south. China redefined the meaning of “offshore” activities. By that they mean off your shores, not theirs.

So you can imagine, countries with long coast lines like Vietnam and Philippines are right in the line of fire.

Excellent proactive response to yesterday’s events by the Bulgarian Prime Minister who has ordered a suspension of government financial aid to the Bulgarian FA until the Head of the Bulgarian FA resigns.

Bamford10

So Emery was the top choice of all three men (Sanllehi, Mislintat, Gazidis) involved in the process, and the contract is three years with a break clause after two. This clearly establishes that while they liked and respected Emery, they wanted to build in flexibility, which was smart.

Bamford10

That’s good to see.

The big problem in Bulgarian football is that people are not personally blamed for their actions, but the team they are supporting. If say 10 people are hooligans and 15 000 are not, the 10 will be the ones that stood out. And instead of facing charges personally like in England, and potentially serving bans from going to stadiums, hooligans are not dealt with personally, but according to the sector they were sitting – home or away sector, the corresponding team gets punished. It has happened many, many times. The actions need to be taken after watching a video footage… Read more »

Potential Break clause after two years but no explicit target that could lead to sacking without compensation is not a very smart move. But then we already knew that Gazidis was not the sharpest business mind. Ed Woodward may know nothing about football, but at least he did insert clauses in both David Moyes and Louis VanGal’s contract that qualification for the Champion’s League was mandatory. Here we have Raul making noise that he expects Emery to qualify, but it is not written in the contract , so he may have to sack Emery with a severance package. I can… Read more »

I think rabid Emery-outers should begin to prepare themselves for the possibility of a third season of Emery. Why? I think we have a fairly good chance of finishing top four, and given that, and given Sanllehi’s respect for Emery, I could see him sticking with Emery for another season. This will depend, of course, on a number of variables — whether we do in fact finish top four, whether indicators (including fans) remain positive at the end of the season, whether this or that other top manager is available — but if we finish top four and things look… Read more »

Dark Hei Depends on your definition of Rosie. There is a long history of China invading Viet Nam. As recent as 1990 there was trouble on the border. The people of Viet Nam are deeply suspicious of China. You only need speak to People in the street to get a sense of the hostility felt towards the country. And you are right, the (in)famous 9 dash map in the South China Sea is not only antagonising the Vietnamese but also all countries with islands within the area.

Valentin, It’s could have been stated as mandatory qualification for the Champions League and active only on his 2nd season in charge. That would actually make sense since nobody really expected us 100% to make top 4 or win the EL last season because of a lot of different factors. This year is different though. It’s Emery’s 2nd year. And our team is far more equipped. So a top 4 should be 100% mandatory to show that we’ve made any progress. Different matter is that I don’t want Emery even if we finish in top 3. Bar an extremely big… Read more »

I agree Pedro that if Wenger tells the truth it could be the most fascinating read in sports writing.

The guy has one hell of a story to tell let’s be honest

Unfortunately I suspect it will involve a bit of owning up to shortcomings and a lot of airbrushing his shortcomings as you say to be his moral crusade and sacrifice rather than what we really saw which was actually rather cynical

China1

Talking of CL qualification I fucking wish the FA cup winners would get the league’s 4th qualification spot

Would absolutely electrify the competition for all teams in England, bring it right back to the prestige it deserves and also makes more sense than 4th place anyway

I dunno why the footballing authorities always lack basic common sense to make such decisions. It would clearly be an awesome change

Imagine being a championship team or league 1 somehow making t all the way to the semis and knowing you’re 2 games away from the CL. Insanely excitinf

Raptora, I agree with your sentiments that the responsibility should fall on the culprits not on the everybody. Where I disagree is when you argue that it is a small minority. It is not a small minority like 1%, it is a lot more. Every Black, Indian or mixed race person who had attended games in Eastern Europe has stories of racism and threatening behaviour to tell. That minority is also very vocal and very influential in football grounds. Regarding the behaviour of English fans abroad, it is the continuation of violent drunk idiots going abroad. At its core, it… Read more »

Have to say that England’s performance last night was excellent . The quality of the performance and the goals have been a little overlooked due to the unfortunate events off the pitch, but credit should be give to the manager for making the changes in personnel in defence and midfield and going with a more experienced line up. Nice to see Tyrone Mings getting a call up and looking very calm and composed throughout, hopefully that will be the end of Keane as he is a very average defender in my opinion. Have to mention Harry Kane,who I believe is… Read more »

Words, Depends on whether you see Man Utd improve, and I don’t. Then there are 2 places left in top 4 for us, chavs and spuds. Chelsea are with a really young, green team and green manager. Will they be able to claim their chances when the nerves get to them?! Spuds are in a mess. Will saucy Poch manage to light the fire in his players? Will he manage to reignite the fire in himself?

Don’t disagree with your scenarios and the importance of an injury free Auba to our top 4 prospects. Given what’s happening elsewhere, we could get to top4 by default, playing bland football.

But the EL performances make me believe in/hope for a (probably hopelessly optimistic) scenario where we get to top4 playing attractive football.

Here’s hoping I’m not too deluded!

Pierre, Norwich and Wolves have beaten Man City so we could quite easily lose those games. Leicester and west ham away we could also lose, Palace at home we could draw. I have every confidence in the squad to win those games but we just know Emery will handicap us with a defensive formation, a negative approach and will instil a sense of fear of losing rather than being positive and attacking. If we were to play those above games in the LC or EL however we’d win them easily. It’s bizarre. I really would like to see Xhaka left… Read more »

As it stands, most fans are not enamoured with Emery.

It is now obvious to us all that he has limited credentials.

If things continue and we show no signs of improving, Emery’s tenureship will be over.

That’s just a fact of life.

Just a pity we couldn’t apply the same principles ten years back.

S Asoa

Regarding Unai Emery’s contract being 3 years , to people with ambition and pride in AFC, it should not matter. For a manager who only manages to regress in spite of a much better squad , the time for the sack is Now.

Pierre, I’m surprised that you can see Arsenal doing a lot well in this run of the games. However, i see us in a spot of bother if we are beaten at Sheffield United. The next two games in the league are Palace and Wolves, teams who are going to cause us a lot of problems. Even if we are playing good in offense, it will be negated once we concede a goal. This has been consistently demonstrated by our team. I have a horrible feeling that Arsenal are about to embark on a collapse familiar to the one we… Read more »

Leeds, What that article shows is that 1) Arsenal needs to be 2 goals down to start showing any fight. Things have to be really gloomy, before the shackles are taken off. We then decide to go for it: Liverpool, Spurs, Aston Villa. 2) that team is scared of its shadow. Even when it leads, it does not try to crush their opponents. Remember the tweet by a Valencia fan who showed that despite being 1-0 against ten man or even a bottom half team, past the hour mark Emery would just instructed his players to defend a lead instead… Read more »

Words “But the EL performances make me believe in/hope for a (probably hopelessly optimistic) scenario where we get to top 4 playing attractive football.” I too think this is possible, but Emery needs to get certain things right in order to make it possible. One, he needs to find the right starting front three, and I think Martinelli probably needs to be a part of it. Or Pepe needs to find his confidence and form. One of those two things. Two, Emery needs to develop a proper link between our midfield and our attacking front three, and I think this… Read more »

Siddartha “I have a horrible feeling that Arsenal are about to embark on a collapse familiar to the one we had towards the end of the last season.” That makes complete sense, because we are going to have to rely on the same questionable players — e.g., Maitland-Niles, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Sokratis — to get us through. Oh wait, no, that’s not true: we’ll have Bellerin, Holding, Tierney and Luiz. So we will be stronger and better than we were last season. We also have Ceballos, Pepe, Saka and Martinelli in the mix, all of whom improve us. So while there… Read more »

“and Ozil given a go”

There might be matches (theoretically) in which he could help — I’m thinking of teams that are simply going to adopt a very deep-sit — but I am curious, Benny: if you include Ozil, what does your midfield behind him look like? Surely it cannot include Xhaka, right? I personally don’t see how you play with one mobile CM.

I can only comment on my own experiences over the past 50 years of travelling around the world.

The only countries I have not visited in Europe are Albania and Lithuania.

Don’t get me wrong, we have major problems in the UK with regards Racism. Infact, our so called fans have been booing the national anthems of opposing nations for years and causing mayhem wherever they go.

Maybe your colleagues are the same individuals that promote such things or they’re all Scots!

All the best.

Nelson

The game against Sheffield United would gives us a clearer idea how Emery wants to set the team up going forwards. I guess for every away game and against other top teams, he’ll field three defensive midfielders. For the cup games, he’ll use one DM and two CM’s, who have license to attack. I am confident that we’ll make the top4. We have a good squad depth. Unlike Chelsea and SPUDS, we are playing in the Europa League. We can keep our starting 11 fresh for the EPL games. I am more worry about Leicester city who doesn’t have Europa… Read more »

I’ve been in two minds about AMN, totally understanding that while one or two on here defend him, most don’t rate him. So my preference for him is essentially to be 3rd choice right back after Bellerin and Chambers.

This piece from Statsbomb makes me question my judgement a little bit.

Nelson

I would try AMN as one of the CM in those cup games. We need to rotate players.

Guns of Brixton

Best hope for AMN is that he becomes our James Milner in terms of work rate and effort and flexibility in his positioning.

He unfortunately isn’t going displace anyone in this team except by them being injured.

AMN is not a right back, he would be more useful than haka at midfield

To be frank AMN falls asleep playing on the wings where the pressure is times lesser compared to the one in midfield. His defensive actions were times less than the ones he would be expected to make while playing in the midfield. He has shown complete lack of interest to defend and I’ve never felt that he is solid defensively which could be said for Full Backs like Monreal, Sagna etc. I feel like if he had shown that he is good in the defending part of the game, a future move to defensive midfielder could have been on the… Read more »

Whether or not it’s just a small minority, Eastern Europe is notorious for racism especially in football

It does exist in every country, that much is a fact though.

China1

AMN might yet turn into a useful player but apart from pace he has no stand out footballing qualities

He’s not an especially good passer, doesn’t strike the ball better than anyone else. Doesn’t have exceptional vision or technique. He has a way to go to qualify for a starting role in any position midfield or defense in a team near the upper ends of the PL

We’ll see what happens

China1

I don’t think AMN has any of the required qualities to be a CM from a footballing perspective. I’m never sure why people think he’d do well there

He’s not especially good defensively and he’s not exceptional on the ball or at passing and reading the game. Where does he fit in at CM?

Raptora/China1 AMN used to play at right winger for U21 and on loan for Ipswich in the Championship. He was excellent there, that how he got his promotion to the first team. In fact his versatility did him a disservice. There is more than pace to his game. He is an excellent crosser of the ball. Despite playing right back he already has two assists from open play in the premiership. If Giroud were still playing for us, he would enjoyed his whipped crosses. Martinelli may well benefit from it in the Europa League. He is not a defender, but… Read more »

I don’t know how much training can replace the real game. Sanchez hasn’t featured much and was injured while playing for Chile. If we select Ozil, he should play at most 60 to 70 minutes.

Vieira also saying he hopes to be the manager after Emery.

Raptora,

Watch again Aubameyang goal against Newcastle. That was a wicked cross.

Valentin

Raptora, AMN is a right winger, so the only player who is in concurrence on that side is Pepe who is currently struggling. And potentially Aubameyang if Emery decide for a trident of Saka/Martinelli – Lacazette – Aubameyang. Last game, When Martinelli was introduced, Saka was moved to the right where he struggled. He was already looking knackered before and he was then replaced by AMN. AMN is likely to be able to show what he can deliver on the right wing in the Europa League and with Martinelli upfront in those games we may see more headed goals from… Read more »

Valentin/Raptora,

AMN may be lackadaisical/average defensively and an unexceptional dribbler, but he can cross a ball pretty well – much much better than Kola who just hits hard and hopes

Valentin

I am not sure that PV4 would be ready for the Arsenal job next summer. Vieira is still learning his trade. His Nice team is still widely inconsistent. I have not seen enough of them to know if it is the setup or the players.

If things turn really bad and Emery is sacked mid season, Freddie may have the upper hand. He would have had a few games as caretaker manager and would already know all the players. Sometimes luck and being at the right place at the right time trumps talent.

Distant legrover

Valentin

That’s how I feel about Vieira’s readiness too but he has been decent as a manager so far so who knows. Plus I think his intelligence, fire and winning mentality will make up the difference.

I want a coach like that.

If Arsenal are going to improve the quality of first team/squad then there are still at least half a dozen players to be offloaded over next two transfer windows namely:

MUSTAFI
SOKRATIS
ELNENY
XHAKA [Posters preference but unlikely in case of Emery]
MKHITARYAN
OZIL
CEBALLOS [unless Real Madrid agree to sell him]
MAITLAND-NILES

Both Saliba and Nketiah will be added to our squad next season.

So I don’t forsee major acquisitions in the next two transfer windows. We will
need perhaps one Centre Back and two class Midfielders.

RedTruth,

“Seems like Nice have a leaky defence and struggle to score goals.”

From what I have seen this year, they have a leaky defense but they don’t struggle to score goals. What I don’t know is if they have a leaky defense because they are badly setup or because they have a very young group of players.

Some clubs in France are just conveyor belt of talents for other clubs. So they tend to have very young players who basically are learning on the job. That does not necessarily means that the coach is bad or incompetent.

I read that what happened in Bulgaria was not a coincidence to happen just now. Racist chanting has been a thing for decades of years. And it has happened in a lot more stadiums worldwide that the one last night. But that last night stadium was handpicked by someone to make a gigantic thing of it. It has happened in multiple stadiums in the EPL already this season and last season. It got to the point that Sterling wrote that widely known insta re racism. And that didn’t happen in Eastern Europe or Bulgaria. DailyStar and Sun coming out with… Read more »

I’ve no idea about UK politics but the timing of yesterday’s scandal seems so on point that it makes it so fishy.

Our country simply is unable to keep up with the amount of immigrants that arrive here each year. We would have to build a city the size of Liverpool every 4 years to cope with the current demands.
We are a small island which needs major huge investments in schools, hospitals, roads etc to simply catch up.
The majority of immigrants are muslims whereby their culture does not allow them to integrate through marriage and their laws are not in line with western culture.

These international breaks are now way over the top, 4 weeks of them in the first two months on he season.

Nketiah showing tonight that he has the making of a very good centre forward.

2 goals on the first half , his movement in and around the box and hunger for goals will stand him on good stead in the future.

Pity that he is being denied the game time at leeds and that the Arsenal fans are being denied the chance to see him in the europa and league cup in the next few weeks .

Who knows , maybe the future is a front 3 of Martinelli on the right, Saka on the left and Nketiah.

What do you mean by “Vierra is still learning his trade”?
When does he graduate from his apprenticeship?

All this Brexit talk is so boring
Withdraw from the damn EU and be done with still abiding by their rules with no seat at the table.

You said that you didn’t vote.

No disrespect, but no one on here gives a toss what you think.

That’s right, just in case you forgot, you chickened out.
