Don Raul and Edu had a little rethink after their car crash leak to Ornstein about the fans being ‘noise’ bitches.
Their new angle is a little more nuanced, a little more ‘Arsenal class.’
“We are as disappointed as everyone else with both our results and performances at this stage of the season. We share the frustration with our fans, Unai, players and all our staff as they are not at the level we want or expect.
“Things need to improve to meet our objectives for the season, and we firmly believe Unai is the right man for the job, together with the backroom team we have in place.
“We are all working intensively behind the scenes to turn things around and are confident we will.
“We never take our fantastic support for granted. We hope we can all stick together and get behind the team in this challenging period, as together we are stronger.”
Take this intel as you will, the club absolutely know what a garbage fire the Unai Emery regime is. They do not believe the club is on the path to progress. They see it as we do. They know it’s highly unlikely his tenure can be saved. They are football people, they know in far more detail than you what’s going on, and it’s not pretty.
The above statement backs the manager, because at this point, there’s no choice. They can’t come out and call him a joke and explain how they’re going to replace him shortly, that my friends would be worse PR than telling the fans they are ‘noisy ass hoes.’
What you need to look for in situations like these are the stories that enter the media seemingly out of nowhere. We’ve already had The Times report on Raul’s dinner with Jose. That wasn’t an accident. It was a gross mistake, the culinary equivalent of waking up in bed with a damp box of donner kebab on your chest with Wayne Rooney licking your chili sauce stained fingers. Rest assured, that story was planted to let the fans know that ‘ideas’ are under consideration.
Yesterday, in part two of #FreshLeaks we had a hit of ‘Arsenal still interested in Arteta.’ The source appears to be The Sun and it seems a little too specific to be a clickbait job.
The message is either an accidental leak from the club (which I doubt), a trial balloon to see what the fans think after Unai ‘safe hands’ Emery failed spectacularly, or it’s a message to Arteta to smoke him out about the renewed interest. I certainly don’t believe it’s come from Arteta’s camp, because I doubt he has a camp at this stage of his coaching career. I also don’t think he’d want to make Pep look a chump for the second time running (especially during a slump), that might be a death blow to his fledgling coaching career at City. Remember, Arsenal disrupted his relationship with Pep last time when they flaked on him after bringing him to the final stages of negotiations. I also don’t think City would brief against a highly rated member of their own staff.
With the story rebubbling, I thought it might be a good opportunity to reassert my passion for a hire of his ilk.
Arsenal need a vision of football the fans can get behind. We’re not Allegri, Conte or Mourinho types. We’re a Wengerball club whether we like it or not, and that is built on foundations of exciting possession-based football. We should be hiring someone that can deliver that to the fans.
If Arsenal were a tech start-up, we’d be prying the best product visionaries from the best places. You can either try your luck with a Steve Jobs (I’m in the 2000s Apple, obvs), which is a fruitless/expensive task, or you steal one of his underlings, like Tony Fadell (iPod VP, left to work with a VC to bring Nest to life). That’s what the big boys do. They find people with less of a name, that have good reputations, and most importantly, the blueprints for success. If you can get 50% of a legendary name’s stardust, you are on your way.
Arteta has been with Pep during two of the most successful seasons ever witnessed in the Premier League. Manchester City found new levels of brilliance. Their attacking football has been a thing of beauty, fast, intricate and devastating. Their movement off the ball is exceptional, as a team, they’re winning the league on 98 points, making the least tackles in the league. They use a positional play on the pitch to force mistakes, think of the smarts needed to teach footballers how to do that. They play a brand of cognitive football we could only dream of (read).
Why wouldn’t you want the number two of the City winning machine at Arsenal?
Arteta is on the record stating the type of football he wants to play. This from the Arsenal Magazine in 2016.
“My philosophy will be clear,”
“I want the football to be expressive, entertaining. I cannot have a concept of football where everything is based on the opposition.
“We have to dictate the game, we have to be the ones taking the initiative, and we have to entertain the people coming to watch us. I’m 100 percent convinced of those things, and I think I could do it.”
“You can have an idea of a system, but you need to be able to transform it depending on the players you have – how much pace you have upfront, how technical your team is, what types of risk you can take and whether your players are ready to take those risks.
He also talks about having players 150% committed to the cause, how he admires Pep’s drive to look to the future of where the game is going, and how he looked up to way his PSG captain Poch built love with players. That was an exciting glimpse into his mind in 2016, imagine how his ideas have developed since?
This is a player that can speak at least 4 languages, including scouser. He’s an excellent communicator. It’s also worth noting that he didn’t shame us as captain, which is a small thing, but it shows he has values. He did a very good job for us as his career declined. We were still a CL team under his watch, whatever you think of his ability at the time, he helped stabilise us during a rough period that involved Andre Santos.
He has an excellent reputation at City for being an innovator, a mentor, and a brilliant coach. Pep widely credited his assistant for developing Raheem Sterling. Players and staff constantly talk about his influence and impact on their careers.
This is Pep in October.
“He has an incredible work ethic, and he has a special talent to analyse what happens, and to find the solutions, and we talk a lot about what he believes and feels and so on,”
“He’s an incredible human being, with incredible values about what it means in the locker room and to be together, and he is already an incredible manager and he’ll have incredible success in his future.”
Fernandinho:
“For me, especially Mikel Arteta, because he played in the same position as I play. So sometimes I have private chats with him to correct some positioning or something that is wrong.
Delph, who credited him with extending his career at City.
“I think Mikel would be a fantastic manager. When the rumours were circulating about him leaving, I was thinking ‘please don’t!’ We get on very well as do all the players and staff. We’ve got a great energy and that energy is similar to what we’ve got here with England.”
The PR wins rack up for a coach that Wenger, Poch and Pep competed for when he retired.
Some say he should go to a lesser club first, but why would you? This is Pep on Arteta.
“I’m pretty sure [he’ll succeed me]. He will have success,”
Go to Newcastle to prove to Barry on Twitter you have balls? Please. Man moved to Glasgow for his career, that’s all you need to know about his character.
With Arteta, we’d be hiring in Manchester City IP, with a player that knows and loves The Arsenal. Raul and Edu could be kingmakers, just like the Barca execs were with Pep G. The experience he lacks could be covered by a more experienced assistant and first-team coach.
Would he make mistakes? Absolutely. Would it take time to get things right? You are damn right. Would it be worth it if he succeeded? 100%.
Imagine being exciting by Arsenal again?
A lot of people like to talk up the failures of career assistants. Arteta is still only 37 years old. He’s punching well above his weight for where he is in his career. He is clearly special, an obsessive, someone desperate to succeed. He is in an elite category for young coaches. I do not think this is the same as Mike Phelan making a play for a first-team coach role at Derby.
We tried safe and by the book, it failed in spectacular fashion, like I predicted. ‘Safe’ isn’t a strategy. It’s cowardice. Why not try something with a bit of vision? Hire in a manager who is a bit of an unknown. At the very worst, we’ll be playing a coherent style of football, at best, we might have landed the next big name in world football.
We don’t need a has-been manager taking us to top 4 if that’s the ceiling. We need to find a coach that can work with the tools he’s given and coach our team into the future.
That could be Arteta. I think it’s a far more palatable option than the other managers on offer. The risk is lower than people think, and if it’s between the names on offer currently, it’s Arteta all day for me.
Right, that’s my piece, I’m running for my pelter shelter, see you in the comments.
P.S. Auba, fuck the noise bitches. The fans love you. Chin up, you’re our best player. x
We sat on our hands when likes of Pep & Klopp were available.
Paying the price now. No obvious replacements. Most of the new breed mentioned are unproven and overhyped. Personally I’ve gone right off Euro mangers. Must be Brexit effect.
UK manager or with Arsenal DNA please.
I’d take a punt on Henry/Freddie caretaker combo until end of season.
TR7
Should clarify I don’t expect any of them to come in now. It would be a summer appointment.
Don – Charles thought by dredging up that quote that he had exposed some contradiction, when he hadn’t, because I’ve always maintained last year’s squad was better than the squad we have this year.
You humiliate yourself every day failing to grasp basic arguments.
A big club or a club competing for a title there’s no way you could snare a manager from them. But Fonseca at Roma given they’ve a habit of going through managers and Rose at Gladbach given its Gladbach I see no reason why we couldn’t nab one of them. But Arsenal has a tiny dick so they’ll just look for what’s easily available
Monchengladbach gaffers are always the hipster choice.
Why do everyone have hard one for Bundesliga managers anyhow? It’s arguably the weakest top 5 Euro league, just shades Ligue 1 but French league had just as much talent.
Plenty ripe for a picking in Italy and Spain.
Paulinho,
Not sure how you can maintain that last year’s squad was better than this year.
For two-thirds of the season, Holding, Bellerin and Welbeck were not available.
And for at least a third of the season (the business end) Ramsey was injured.
And that before you factor in the new arrivals and the youngers coming in this season.
One key thing to factor in (what a first!) is that we are still shit despite the fact that we have no one (except Reiss Nelson) injured.
With all due respect to Reiss (and I rate the guy) he is at present not key to the squad or the first 11.
Benny
“Yeah this isn’t true though. He repeated nothing because it wasn’t his decision to leave either Ramsey or Ozil out, it was Raul’s.”
Dont be daft
Do you honestly believe this … it just doesn’t make sense , and if it doesn’t make sense then it’s not true.
If a manager cannot be trusted to choose his own starting line up then he is a lame duck manager.
Arteta this
Freddie that
Anyone actually considered neither of them would want the job ?
WOB
“Paulinho
Not sure how you can maintain that last year’s squad was better than this year.”
Now let me see..
Last season Ramsey was in the squad and this season he isn’t..
“For two-thirds of the season, Holding, Bellerin and Welbeck were not available. And for at least a third of the season (the business end) Ramsey was injured.” I know, which was why I constantly stressed at the time the importance of everyone staying fit, and everyone at that time was fit. Of course in the next month we lost Bellerin, Holding, Welbeck, and our hopes of top four completely extinguished when Ramsey got injured. As I said earlier, we stayed unbeaten during that period because Emery aggressively rotated made big decisions such as dropping Ozil for more industrious options. Anyway,… Read more »
Raul and Edu would be willingly throwing our points away if they allow Emery to play another game.
Emery is done for now. I would advise him to take a year off and come back with a club like Everton. Maybe he could still make something out of his career that way.
To continue to put a man as lost as that in charge of a club as big and as prestigious as Arsenal is tantamount to sabotage.
Why would anyone think our season is over in November? I mean i get the anonymity towards the manager but the season is far from over and anyone we’re having take over now has the same top4 task as the current gaffer….
Let’s not already start making excuses in case we go and hire the hipsters choice and appoint a novice
Pierre,
I get what you’re saying but with regards to Ozil and Ramsey it was more about the exorbitant contract and demands. Obviously the head coach would pick the team but if he’s not in charge of the contracts or the football direction of the club like Raul and Edu are then he may have to follow orders from his senior officers.
Pierre
Were you not a huge critic of Ramsey’s before?
Pierre – That’s not even controversial is it.
A fit Rambo contributes more than all our summer signings combined.
Benny
You are very correct. No matter how much a manager wants a Player, if that player isn’t financially viable then he will be forced to let him go.
Raul would appoint Jose but he has to consider the Arsenal roughnecks who hate him and they are many.
So;
Bring Bould and Freddie together and put them in charge for the rest of the season.
Then begin to do your homework from now till the end of the season.
We can’t afford to get it wrong at this point.
So if I Couldn’t suggest Jose, I would suggest;
Steven G.
Brendan Rodgers.
Conte.
In that order.
I ve never desired a Christmas gift like I do this year. Please Arsenal, fire what’s his face by then. Make my Xmas wish come true.
Benny The thing is, If raul had instructed Emery not to play Ramsey and Ozil last season , then who’s decision was it to reinstate them back into the side in March . Did Raul change his mind and instruct Emery to pick them or did Emery decide to go against Raul’s instructions. The same can be said for the treatment of Ozil this season. As far as I’m concerned, Emery picks the team and rightly so , a manager lives or dies by his decisions . Emery is well within his right to not select Ozil or Ramsey ,… Read more »

“So Sal you think we’re left with no other option than Arteta? Come off it.”
Not sure how you pulled that out of “its all discussion as Raul will likely take a pass on all opting for Enrique/Mourinho or maybe Marcelino if were lucky.”
I would take arteta if he has some magic pep dust rub off on him I am all for it
Lampard has done great at Chelsea hopefully we get that from Mikel
Danny s “Were you not a huge critic of Ramsey’s before?” My comment “Now let me see..Last season Ramsey was in the squad and this season he isn’t..” was said through the eyes of Paulinho. I never criticised his ability I was more a critic of Ramsey’s indiscipline in a 2 man midfield , which was also a criticism of the then manager for allowing him to play in such a way. Emery actually managed to install discipline into Ramsey’s play from march onwards and I was very complimentary of his performances at that time ..was a pity he was… Read more »

Why don’t you just toss some bones in the air and see how they land
Voodoo style
If Arteta took over today, we’d be in 14th place by February. No chance he would do well with the weak squad we have. He’d try to play the one approach he knows — which requires world class footballers — and it would fail miserably. Until we have better players and a more coherent squad, we need someone who can do many different approaches, many different set-ups — and get results. Ironically, Emery is actually quite a good fit in this respect. We won’t be top four again until we have much better players, and that’s probably still two years… Read more »
We have the seventh best first 14 in the PL at best. All of the below have better players than we do:
Chelsea
Leicester
Spurs
United
City
Liverpool
Our central midfield options are poor, our CB’s are old and slow, and our forwards are far more limited of players than their price-tags imply.
Emery is no Klopp, but this squad is really poor.
“We won’t be top four again until we have much better players, and that’s probably still two years away. That’s how bad a state Wenger left us in.“ We finished level on points with 4th LAST season you turnip. Literally only missed out on 3rd because we couldn’t do better than a 1-1 draw against the 17th place side in the league, who were home and hosed for the season and had heads already in Marbs. Can we do one of your player vs player breakdowns for Brighton to learn how player poverty fucked us that day? Distinctly remember playing… Read more »
Churlish “We finished level on points with 4th LAST season you turnip.” Well, we were one point back of fourth, and this only because Emery managed to get the sixth best squad in the league to overachieve. As for Brighton, right, it turns out that players like Mustafi, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Lichtsteiner and Sokratis are not good enough to get a result against a Brighton. You can sneer at them all you like, but Brighton are ahead of your Harry-Kane-led Spurs at the moment. Like many other 6-12 PL teams, they are a good team. And the Arsenal players… Read more »
The best we can reasonably hope is for our rivals for top 4 to collapse. Leicester to suffer injuries that cripple them. Something like Vardy or Ndidi being unavailable for a big chunk of the season and suddenly Leicester could be in free fall. If Chelsea goes far in the Champion’s League that may take its toll on them, but Lampard is likely to be able to rotate enough that any slump would be limited. I predicted that ManUtd would finish ahead of us and I will stick to that prediction. Not that OGS is a great manager. But that… Read more »

Wager: Arsenal don’t finish top four next season, no matter who their manager is. Loser takes six months off of Le Grove.

Utterly clueless. Already made a cunt of yourself talking about player poverty in terms of Leicester, but you’re extending that to 17th placed Brighton of last season.

All this guy has is ignorance, arrogance and insults. Have never encountered a worse human being.

Your insecurity is rife, you’d shit your pants walking the streets of London if your attitude on here is anything to go by. Can only imagine the ptsd you’d get from attending a match and being sat anywhere near the opposing fans.
Skin like fucking tissue paper, you take everything on here entirely too seriously it’s sad.
“.Emery is no Klopp, but this squad is really poor.”
Have you ever thought of getting professional help…
You are putting a lot of blame on our recruitment team
200 million spent in 12/14 months and I presume you regard it as money down the drain according to your derogatory comments on our recruitment.
Personally, I believe 4th spot is attainable with this squad, just need a change of manager sooner rather than later.
We can quite easily win the next 4 games (with a change of manager) and be within touching distance of top 4.
Sorry, I left out dishonesty and sophistry. He is those things too.
Valentin “The best we can reasonably hope is for our rivals for top 4 to collapse.” lol. How do Arsenal address their awful EPL away record which now stretches back to 2016? It’s a subject that many don’t like to address because it shatters their illusion that Arsenal are just a coach away from greatness. I think personally it’s a case of a few first teamers having to be brought in as well as a change of coach. Should Arsenal veer away from the notion of “Wengaball” which was mentioned on here again today? We all want to see players… Read more »
According to you know who, Arsenal had a worse squad than Brighton. Brighton barely avoided relegation. So Arsenal should have finished below them and get relegated. So the fact that Arsenal did not got relegated is entirely due to the managerial brilliance of Emery. Nothing to do with the players.
Now that has been sorted by our Harvard genius, can we get back to the real world and stop taking seriously the elucubrations of a demented mind clearly beyond help.
Arsenal will not be top 4 for at least 5 years- regardless of who is charge. We are set for a Decade in the Doldrums. The Damage has been done. the squad and soul has been gutted by the Spaniards. (Spaniards ruin everything. Always have done- they cant help themselves, Spanish Dave will tell you.)

“It’s a subject that many don’t like to address because it shatters their illusion that Arsenal are just a coach away from greatness.“
Who thinks this? Sounds suspiciously like a load of bollocks.
Care to name the posters that think we’re a new coach from greatness?
Well Charlie posters thought the team would easily get into top four with the signing of Pepe so there is definitely an over-rating of the side itself as well as Emery not being the man we want.
You don’t easily get into top four until this awful EPL away record is addressed which stretches back now a long time.
Coco’ The Clown” Struggling to understand,if we have crap players,or players not good enough for the system(whatever that is) and Emery is somehow hamstrung with the players recruited this summer to the tune of £200m.. Then,one question has to be raised-who is accountable for the players purchased,that have made us unable to compete for top 4 this season? Is it Raul?Is it Josh?Is it heaven knows Silent Stan?Is it Vinai?Is it the Holy Trinity? Who does the buck stop with? Especially,if we’ve had 18 months to evaluate the weaknesses in our squad from the last season,taking into account our rivals… Read more »
Ishola70, I never said that this team is well balance. I am under no illusion that this team is great either. In fact I am one of the few who complained about the recruitment. In my view there was 4 position that needed improvement. A defensive midfield with stamina and power who could play on the half turn. I kept banging on NDombele instead of spending money on a luxury like Pepe. A Left footed or on the left side CB. Even if Koscielny had stayed, he would not have been able to play a full EPL season without breaking… Read more »
“You don’t easily get into top four until this awful EPL away record is addressed which stretches back now a long time.“ Away games are traditionally the greater test of a managers acumen. You’re not comforted by familiar surroundings, you’re outnumbered in the stands, and the opposition have a leg up in terms of energy. Why have we been poor for 2/3 years away from home? Because we’ve not had a manager that can take a team anywhere and confidently contain the opposition. Wenger couldn’t muster a plan for us off the ball and the less said about Emery and… Read more »
The away Blue stems from three main factors. 1) We don’t have a proper athletic defensive midfielder 2) our setup is so wrong that it put us even more on the back foot. Having two unathletic players facing three taller, more dynamic central midfield means that we are overrun in the centre. Our defense is then constantly under bombardment and in the end concede. 3) because that same scenario keep repeating itself, the players start to lose confidence in the process. That become a self fulfilling prophecy. One goal and we mentally collapse. The only to fix that is to… Read more »
Valentin Emery is seen as failing because he isn’t atm winning home games that are expected to be won. We can all see that the team is not playing well overall but there wouldn’t be such a furore regarding Emery at this time if he had stumbled to home wins over Crystal Palace and Wolves. Crystal Palace match as we know could have easily turned out a stumbling win instead of a disappointing draw. The away record is as you were. Same since 2016. Awful.

Get Diego Simeone with PV as his assistant. Get more ex gunners involved in training and at board level. Otherwise its just slow fall.
Hey, all, Patrick Vieira called and he has a message for you lot:
“I think [Emery] has enough experience to get [Arsenal] through this difficult spell. We have to get behind him & give him time to change things. I am not sure a change of manager will fix the problems.”
Good post Pedro Always said that from when Lampard & Gerrard first started their management trail, they would eventually be successful with the bin dippers. Lampard already showing maturity and vision with the Chavs even if he was forced into using youth. Seems like he instill authority with his players. Although I was against Arteta to go a safer route with Emery, I see no reason why Arteta shouldn’t be seriously considered to take over from the fiasco Emery has delivered. Gerrard is doing well in a 2-horse race in Scotland and will probably have done enough to succeed Klopp… Read more »

I don’t see the point in you digging out old comments. Just because utd were a force 5 years ago, should we make them favourites to win the title?
Similarly, Leicester was a top 8 team last season, where a club like arsenal should be beating them regularly. They are doing well this season but will they continue to be a top 6 team regularly?
if anyone has a different opinion to you all here you resort to abusing his family and some cases bin him for having an opinion while a racist is allowed day and night to post on here. Bravo pedro what a blog of love we have here
Bamford’s comments and opinions, however improbable and defying logic, will always invite response from people. But, he has in my time here, never attacked anyone on personal grounds and has always tried to argue in a polite manner.
While banter is absolutely needed for a blog on Arsenal, let’s just at least try not to get too personal.
Anything against bamford is allowed on here. To tell you the truth it is pathetic

I don’t mean sack Emery per se, since I don’t think we should sack Emery unless the backup plan is solid.
Alex
Often thought of asking how you were, but I thought you’d update us in good time.
Sorry to hear of the limitations you’re enduring, but happy to hear things have improved.
Hope the side effects wear off sooner than later.
All the best with your recovery
Pedro
Let’s hope Changes are made quickly and Arteta gets the nod from Raul Hollywood Sanllehi.
Thought I’d take the scorched earth approach with Bamford, but I kn ow it’ll bounce off him like water to a ducks arse.
I’ll revert back to the Blog of Love posting style.
Something like this?
Dear Don
I thought you were a tad coarse addressing Alex as ‘Cunter’ and I wonder if you might find it in yourself to tone down your posts a little to something more acceptable for all to read.
Have a good day

Sometimes in life you have to go on gut instinct and, in this particular case therefore, a back up plane is secondary. Just remove him asap and get Freddie and Bould to take the reigns.
We need to reinvigorate the players and also the fans.

No Arteta, no party.

More importantly, # EmeryOUT.
Arsenal’s next 4 premier fixtures include 3 teams , that out of their last 18 fixtures combined have a record of lost 15..drawn 3 .won none. Southampton lost 5..drawn one…won none Norwich city ..lost 5..drawn..one..won none West ham..lost 4 .drawn 2..won none Brighton..lost 3..drawn 0..won 3. 3 of these teams are playing so poorly that they are making Arsenal look a decent side on paper….that’s how poor they are. Emery has been given a lifeline to redeem himself . He needs to send the team out to be positive and play to our strengths , which is attack, attack attack… Read more »
Whose Don again?
The meds haven’t kicked in yet?
Welcome back Alex. Happy for your progress.
Apparently there is some tension within the squad due to Aubameyang relationship with of AFTV co-host. Most of the players have a box for their family close to each other. In order to increase their appeal among Arsenal fans, VBet is renting a box and inviting celebrity to create some buzz. So it invited some of AFTV alumni (if you can call them that). Unfortunately their box is pretty close to that of Aubameyang and other players. By accident some players family member bumped and recognised Troopz who is making a push for mini celebrity stardom by over the top… Read more »

“More importantly, # EmeryOUT.”
No questions!
Pierre
Why not just say you want Arsenal to.lose instead of posting all this guff
Graham62 The issue is with the coaching staff. They are all Emery’s man. Freddie will have to cob together a team on the fly, promote from U21s? Same with Arteta. At this stage of their careers, they don’t have a backroom team to count on. Plus those 2 guys got their day job to do. Thus, it will make more sense for Edu and Raul to do the hire for the backroom staff themselves, if they are to go down novice manager route. And if they are indeed going down this route, then Emery’s time is up whenever they find… Read more »

He’s a confused sole.
Has many names – Don, Unai, Normski, Alita Battle Angel and probably Matinelli’s Head.
Meds working yet?
Have a good one
To be frank-AFTV are an embarrassment.A bunch of rabble-rousers,out to claim their 5 minutes of stardom.Stars in their eyes those guys… Can’t get my head around Troopz-unable to string a coherent sentence together, mouthing off about Arsene for almost eternity.Only to meet Arsene in person,soil his pants and start screaming and jizzing like a new born virgin that’s been royally mounted!! And then the other guy-the one with the tattoos,that goes to all the away games.. Can’t remember his name.Either way,forever and a day blasting Xhaka. Then meets him in person at some ceremony or gala and literally starts to… Read more »
Furthermore,begs the question-why would any Arsenal player or associated member of AFC give those guys at AFTV any oxygen,or a platform for them to ride off their coat tails?
It does more harm than good in the long run…
Not really a strategic or a rational move,if you ask me..
