Jose Mourinho is like that sexy abusive partner you have. You know the type, you crunch a crisp too loud and they’re up in your shit. They throw plates at you when you leave tea bags in the sink. They wear your dry cleaned shirts.
… you beg them to change. They come back to you and say, sure, I’ve had a sabbatical and I will be more tea bag tolerant. You believe them because they are sexy and charismatic, then literally the next day they’ve shredded your tea bags to teach you a lesson and posted something negative about you on Facebook.
Jose Mourinho rolls back into the Spurs with more baggage than Prince Andrew, but he’s charming… and now we’re all in a deep panic that this time, maybe he has changed, and he’ll do bits for Spurs.
I am an UNbeliever in radical personality change at 56 years old. You are who you are. You can change the crest on the badge, you can smile, get a facial… but I think it will be near impossible for him to be different because so much of his success was built around his persona.
We’ll see though, stealing backroom demons from Lille is smart. I’d be desperately worried if Spurs nabbed Luis Campos from there as well, he really is a top drawer technical director. It looks good on paper, but remember, Wenger had loads of data people and analysts he didn’t use.
Whatever goes on, it’s a huge gamble. The Times alluded to this being part of a wider masterplan for prospective owners. Makes sense, the Amazon series is the most serious way to get a prospectus out there, Jose Mourinho looks great on paper as well. Especially for all those star fuckers with enough cash to buy a club.
ANYWAY, onto Arsenal. Unai Emery has been given time to think about the season. A bit of me space to strategise his way out of the mess. So what’s his plan you ask?
Bring Xhaka back into the mixer.
Perfection. The equivalent of photocopying your bare arse and leaving it on your CEOs desk. He is addicted to one of the least effective midfielders in the league.
Love Sport asked me if I could forgive the player for his tantrum.
YES
He has done his time and he lost his armband. The point of his absence was never about whether the fans could forgive him, it was more about how bland he is and damaging for our overall play.
“Xhaka is coming back better. His mindset is better and this morning I have a very good conversation with him. My objective is for him to come back helping us and convincing everyone that he is going to be better in the short or long future with us”
Cannot wait, Unai.
Interesting that The Times are leaking stories about Arteta / Unai not being on the original shortlist of managers (which Ivan G confirmed, so not new news). Certainly wouldn’t have come from Raul or Edu.
Right, short one today, NORMAL FOOTBALL SERVICE RESUMES. x
Sorry. Pepe is 24 and should not still be raw. Not at £72m.
Fuck that. He’s a Lille reject and we were had.
We’re a mid table club.
Ref really hasn’t got a clue today. Second time saints player injured themselves and he’s given them a free kick
Pepe wiping his nose on his Black gloves will not pull the birds.
liking the one two touch and go but please the passes need more direction forward
Our forward passing has been shit all season. Weakest part of our game.
less than 30 minutes of course fans lost patience with the pointless BS backpasses
So fuckin’ lucky
Sok himself
Lmfao
Ref buying every single saints dive
lol Sokratis
fucking hell don’t give to Sokratis lol just get rid
fucking hell fucking hell unbelievable the coach should be sacked by that alone
How didn’t Southampton score from that.
Sokratis is not as good as chambers. Chambers unlucky to be subbed.
21 years of Wenger and I can’t remember one time where we struggled so badly to impose our game at home matches.
Penalty to them
Good pressure. Come on Arsenal
fucking hell this is rigged as fuck can’t believe it fucking diver Ings
fuxk rhia ref VAR fuck this cunt ref pls don’t give fuxking corrupt fuxks
Isn’t that a red?
Emery has to go
Taxi for Emery please
Wow Leno saved a penalty but……..
can’t be more blatant innit?
the softest of touch talk about BS
Poor again… emery out
Go, Southampton! Rip these arseholes a new one
Mounting pressure with nothing to show for it, only 2 soton players took out our 4 players to win this penalty
We are dog shite…
Tierney about to cry
Great opportunity to sack emery right now
Martinelli on Ozil off
I never thought I’d say this…I’d rather Wenger was back
Shame for Tierney as he was having a good match offensively but you can’t tug at players in the area.
What a shit midfield. Southampton strolled through it to set up their pen. Guendouzi all at sea and no back-up at all.
Taxi for Emery !
Surely surely emery is out the door.
Extraordinary losing to a team that’s shite and a team that lost at home 9-0…
Real garbage….on a par with some of Wenger’s dire results…..still no 6-0s or 8-2s….just to pre-empt the lovesick Wenger fans……
just sack already don’t give him more time it’s only a waste strongest lineup now only to be fucked by his coaching and instructions
fuxking tictacs bullshit
Might be a draw this game
15 odd minutes for Emery to save his job.
Two goals required to save his skin.
Spanish Waiter licking his chops . Must have dipped hand in the sauce.
1-2 😭🙄
Surely he has to go now! Poch is available bring him in!! Emery out!!
More penalty than not. It’s a good decision by the ref.
Bye Emery. I’d be shocking if they don’t sack the clown.
4 shots for Arsenal. 14 to Soton btw.
2 shots on target to 6.
Outplayed in yet another game.
The door has just opened really widely for Arteta, Nagglesmann etc.
Emery should be sacked tonight.
Auba has been making phone calls since this game started, emery should bring him in
such a poor midfield.
Emery needs to practice daily- coming back from deficits.. since that is the reality in most games for us…
You can see the players are out of clues
Look shattered
Last home loss to Soton in league – 1987. 15 wins, 15 draws. See if we break yet another negative record under Emery.
I’m happy to laugh at you lot for the way you treated wenger
Emery should be sacked tonight
I hope it’s announced on breaking news during the City game.
Outplayed at home by fucking Southampton, this is what we’ve become under this clown
I used to think Emery’s tenure at Arsenal was a tragedy, now I realise that it’s a comedy.
What a shambles.
When you revert to three at the back it is meant to make you more defensively secure but Arsenal have been flaky as ever defensively in this game.
Shambles.
The fat lady is gargling waiting to sing.
The taxi has just pulled up outside The Emirates to escort Emery from the premises.
Damning stats Raptora
Yes with the penalty it was more about how far they travelled with the ball unchallenged than anything. About 70 yards. No tackle in sight.
Even if we equalize these stats are damning.
Emery must be fired
In all 7 games of the EPL, away teams are leading in the 80th minute. Pretty rare to see.
Even in Wenger’s dark days, we nearly always won at home.
All attackers on now… lets see if we have a clue how to score on this shitty 19th placed team
Leicester bombing on!…
Funny you never think Leicester are a top side…..even when they won the prem…you thought”,great season…a freak….a team that’s very good but not league winning quality” .Well, I think they are proving they are worthy of being considered as title contenders.
Sack him right now!
I don´t like Ljungberg as head coach. He´s too timid.
Still miles better than this useless wanker!
Sanmi
“I’m happy to laugh at you lot for the way you treated wenger”
Oh shut up you mongrel.
You don’t sit on your hands with a manager that had clearly had his time.
You try to progress from that.
And if you fail you try again.
That you even bring up Wenger tells us all about you.
Poch knows the prem. I’ll take him now.
If emery had anything about him he’d quit and admit he doesn’t possess the skills to turn this around . He finished
lol at the Arsenal players having tantrums.
You are not good enough and neither is your manager.
they have 38 percent possesion and we are losing
If emery had anything about him he’d quit and admit he doesn’t possess the skills to turn this around . He finished
And turn down all that money??
Save me Martinelli.
Save me Willock.
It’s tragic that Emery turns to these kiddies to try to save his bacon.
Tragic.
Poch can’t manage anybody for a year otherwise he’ll lose that huge pay out he got.
Can we please bring back Binford just to hear his excuse for this latest gem?
Wenger was great. But we all admit he was past it in the last few years. We have to look forward now and find someone as good as Wenger used to be.
Emery throwing everything to get a draw… just so that he can save some measure of face.
Someone should tell him any credibility he had, he lost it in the hammering back in Baku.
A draw is not a good enough.
Nearly 3-1.
We should’ve just gotten rid of Emery after the VAR Palace disgrace. Obvious then he was completely cursed and nothing was ever going to go our way.
@samni..
you lot for the way you treated wenger
The way we treated a useless selfish fraud earning £10million for doing not a lot except throwing his bony arms about and obsessing with his ridiculously uniform tubular coat zipper.?????
Emery is crap but Wenger was sickening…
If emery had anything about him he’d quit and admit he doesn’t possess the skills to turn this around . He finished”
Ye I was just thinking about how shamelessly fucking brazen these people in football are. If he had any honor he would fall on his sword tonight. But he won’t.
Pussy shot from Ozil but he’s done alright today overall
The stats say it all…. every game is like this.
Last few minutes of Emerys reign…. Thank fuck
Willock seems to be making more a difference in the center
Desperation, desperation, desperation. How many times we’ve traversed these familiar roads. Fighting for top four, now fighting for top six. I have now reached the point where I’m absolutely convinced money is more important than winning at Arsenal. It’s so sad that it has come to this.
If emery had anything about him he’d quit
—————–
6 million quid says otherwise.
Embarassing
We are 15W, 5D, 0L vs Soton at home.
Have ever lost 2 times at home to Soton in our history. In the 1960s and in 1987.
If you tell me that this is one of the worst Arsenal team in the history and this is one of the best Soton sides I’ll be laughing for a while. We’ve been losing points cause of Emery. Another one on him.
Sack the cunt now, anyone but him. He has no clue and out of his depth.
17 shots to our 11 Southampton have had. Hahahahaha
Willock MVP
Laughable we deserve to be losing by 3 goals. To this 19th placed Soton.
The art of defending, we’ve never really mastered it and it’s been like that for a very long time.
Anyone still think we can beat these bottom feeder clubs now you are having a laugh.
7 mins of more hell
7 minutes left of El-Dicko
If Emery is not fired today, then he will never be fired.
Jeff
“The art of defending, we’ve never really mastered it and it’s been like that for a very long time.”
Too true.
Absolutely shit defensively
I rate Willock very highly in the right system
What with this result and spuds changing managers surely this puts too much pressure on the board not to sack him
lol 7 minutes
Emery is losing in his way, and in his process.
Hurray.
Guys you know Emery will still be here.
Barely drew with Watford even though they’d had a man sent off and bent over by Southampton. Surely that has to be his lot.
Emery is like a boxer with nose and jaw broken on his knees getting up at the count of nine thinking he can still knock his opponent out.
His corner that has faith in him failing to throw in the towel and the fans shaking their heads calling for mercy to stopnthe fight or a final mercy knockout.
Emery ball
