Man, celebs are NOT immune to this bastard disease. It got to Idris Elba! Cannot believe it.
With all this serious stuff in the air, I’ve been pondering whether people need elite daily Arsenal content. Is it a distraction? Am I being insensitive to the ‘real’ news?
I settled on continuing.
It is my duty.
It is your RIGHT.
I WILL NOT let you down.
ONWARDS WE MARCH TOGETHER (safe spacing though, small march, no sneezers)
So until Boris J orders a blog shut down, I’ll be hitting the content harder than Marouane Chamakh hit Vegas that time.
So what have we today?
The FA’s exChief, Greg Dyke basically told Karen Brady she’s a toilet roll hoarder and needs to sanitize her self-serving mouth. Maybe a touch more eloquently, but the warning from The Big G is that the league cannot be nullified because Leeds fans are a bunch of hooligans.
“You might even have to play behind closed doors to fulfil the contracts for the broadcasters, otherwise they are just not going to pay up, and that could mean hundreds of millions of pounds. You may even have to play three matches a week just to get them done.
“I can see if you are a Norwich fan or of a team like West Ham, you might be delighted if the season was cancelled.
“At a club like Leeds, their fans would go nuts. You can also imagine clubs taking legal action, especially the more litigious ones.”
Oof, scary.
I think we’re going to have to see how Covid-19 performs over the coming weeks before we can start worrying about next season, but what we do know, is despite my mum telling me everyone is overreacting, the reality is this is pretty fucking serious and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
You know who else isn’t leaving anytime soon?
Gary O to the D.
Liverpool came in for him – which must mean he’s the best in the world – and he told them to do one. This from David Ornstein at the well priced Athletic you should certainly sign-up for:
Impassioned pleas by technical director Edu and head coach Mikel Arteta, in particular, helped convince the former Ireland rugby union medic not to leave. The development is seen across the industry as something of a coup, given the regard in which O’Driscoll is held.
Mikel Arteta apparently convinced him with this line.
‘Gary, you do know Liverpool is like, in Liverpool? No duck pâté with your goat milk latte there, son. It’s Nescafe with a slab of PUT THAT SUN NEWSPAPER IN THE BIN’
All you need to know about the man is that we lost our manager to the disease, but no one else. That’s the sort of defending we could do with in games, take note Mikel.
Not a lot of news today… which means… yep, you guessed it, some hot press from the billionaire playboy of Africa, Aliko Dangote. Football.London has obviously been slipped a few pennies to plant a story that connects a press release about our £650m valued squad, to the African ponying up for Arsenal one day. I like this quote from what he said in Jan.
“It is a team that yes I would like to buy someday, but what I keep saying is we have $20billion worth of projects and that’s what I really want to concentrate on,”
Sounds like a builder giving you the lowdown on when he can get to relaying your drive.
Big Tony Adams has been in the press with some good and some bad noise.
The good:
“He (Mikel Arteta) is doing a great job,”
“I really like the man and his enthusiasm. I am glad he is well and recovered from the virus.
“I have been speaking for the last 10 years about recruitment at the club and I think that really needs to up it’s game.
Then the bad:
“The coach is irrelevant. (Unai) Emery was a fantastic coach but recruitment let him down.
NO TONY! You cannot say the coach is irrelevant whilst desperately trying to get back into the game as a coach. Imagine his interview.
‘So Tony, what can you offer the club?’
‘Absolutely nothing sir’
Deary me. This notion that only players matter is so tired. YES elite players can take you a long way, but so can great training, well motivated player and a powerful vision. Julian Nagelsmann to Hoffenheim from nearly getting relegated to Champions League football in a year. That is not about elite players my friends.
Right, let’s play a game today, give me your fave defender of the last 25 years… in the below format. I’ll put the best comments in a post tomorrow.

Need the blogging mate, keep it up!!
Has to be W Gallas after sitting in the middle of the pitch in the birmingham game in 2008 then staying on at the club after that.
Funny Adams jab Pedro, made me laugh
Pascal Cygan. So many laughs.
Name: SOL FRICKIN CAMPBELL Why I love him: anyone who doesn’t love Campbell should be sent to Siberia to perform slave Labour on a Russian railroad. He was an elite player, elite personality, total winner, leader, classy as fuck off the pitch and used to physically dominate strikers with his ridiculously hulking frame, he was also quicker than should be possible over long distances because he’d build up momentum like a freight train Fav moment: I have two. 1) him shoulder barging a Portsmouth player who was in mid air attempting an overhead clearance and the guy flew 2 meters… Read more »
My grandma always told me that sol Campbell looked exactly like my grandpa which is hilarious because my grandpa was white.
There is a tiny resemblance somehow tho
Seems the UK gov is finally turning towards logical and reasonable measures and for that I’m extremely grateful. The start may have been slow and there may be a bit more to do, but the direction is certainly good now and the overall approach makes sense It was worrying as hell that until a couple of days ago our approach was flying in the face of international scientific evidence and talk of 60+% of people potentially catching it was alarming as fuck. Thankfully the government has walked that back. No more herd immunity targets, no more mitigation measures risking lives… Read more »
I think the first thing people need to be aware of is that social distances measures take time to stop the spread The UK is still going to see an explosion in numbers because there will still be loads of people who caught it, didn’t show symptoms but spread it to their entire household (and extended family in many cases). But what happens is after a month or so, those households will have gone through that phase and will be all clear which is where the numbers will start falling quite quickly as The vast majority of transmissions are within… Read more »
Surely our best defender is Tony Adams and it not even close. I love him because he was brilliant defender but, more importantly, he was able to convince me to give football a chance. When I was kid growing up in Canada, boys played ice hockey and girls played soccer, so I did not have good opinion of football when I first arrived in London all those years ago. My first job was in a gooner pub, one of our regulars had spare ticket to Nottingham forest, and took me to see it where I learned to love football and… Read more »
Pedro, I am locked in the swamps of Jersey in semi-isolation. Your blog is all that keeps me from painting a face on my football and naming it Wilson. I’m pained to admit how many times I check each day to see if you’ve written. Keep up the good work. Now things to write about: I was surprised that you didn’t comment on the financials when they were published a few weeks ago. I am surprised that you didn’t comment on the squad’s estimated value today (apart from one line). Favourite defender (although not the best) in the Premier League… Read more »
Squillaci and Sylvestre are the only names I have in mind.
High bury Legend.
In that case don’t hold back. Go full bore with Igor Stepanovs
I love Martin known as well
His van nistelrooy moment has been etched into the annals of time and is now stuff of lore
Then there was his work as defensive coach when we got to the CL final breaking every defensive record with a makeshift backline
Legeeeeeend
@china, you’re spot on. It looks as though the UK gvt finally got cold feet on the idea of condemning upwards of 300,000 Tory voters to their deaths and has changed tack. Of concern now is the lack of testing, the lack of adequate equipment in hospitals and for doctors, the foothold the virus will have made while the government dithered and allowed huge events to go on and the lack of clarity over provision of support for the elderly as they look to quarantine themselves and start to order food and provisions online for the first time. So, it’s… Read more »
I was just thinking that if there’s one positive about all this is that the virus kills a much larger percentage of racist voters than non-racist ones since in every country — the older the age group the more likely they are to vote right wing.
If the pandemic killed tens of millions, which I still think it won’t, it would mean a faster shift to more progressive politics than expected.
Kris V I’m not sure killing racists is a positive… If progressive politics is what you want, wouldn’t the progress line be about education, forgiveness etc rather than ‘at least the people who have opinions I don’t like are dead’ That’s the least progressive outlook you could have on all this. As well the reason the virus has been able to spread so easily is because we live in a globalized world. The kind of world many of the older generation and racists have been saying is bad for the UK all along. You’ll probably find the ring wing is… Read more »
ES I’m sure your dinner with the WHO hierarchy was both enlightening and fascinating, especially the part where WHO doctors called out Boris for his herd immunity fiasco. Do you think it’ll be long before you get invited to luncheon with the Queen and Prince Phillip? You do love the change the narrative to support your POV or stated argument. This conversation is no longer worth pursuing from either of our POVs.

Also even if I could visit the UK with my wife tomorrow, I’m not sure that I would bring her specifically because I think the chances of her being on the end of some racism as a chinese going around Bristol wearing a face mask would probably be a lot higher than in any normal circumstances Another issue this virus will highlight is how the UK should be more self sufficient because our food, energy, utilities etc are so heavily tied to global trade and imports that when borders shut and trade is hurt, the UK will suffer badly. Nationalists… Read more »
The NHS will surely get the credit it deserves after a long war on the frontline for the country
Bless the lot of the workers as they’re in for an awful few months now. In China and Italy healthcare workers had to work 6-8 hour shifts without even going to the bathroom because they were in full body hazmat suits. Complete exhaustion, adult nappies/diapers, and still thousands of chinese doctors caught the virus anyway. Many died.
Bless the NHS and good luck to every one of the healthcare workers who will be leading this effort.
Lee Dixon
So consistent even Wenger couldn’t phase him out.
Fav moment when his kid cried when he had to play for country over club (if I recall correctly)
And then we have this problem of a generation that goes too deep into identity politics that they no longer see the other person as an individual, merely a statistic.
Does anyone else have fifa 20? Dixon’s commentary in that is jokes
I dunno why but they’ve made him really sarcastic and unnecessarily negative which always makes me laugh
The keeper will pull off an absolute worldwide and the lead commentary is giving him loads of praise and Dixon chimes in golden nuggets like flatly saying ‘well he’s a goalkeeper and that’s his job’
It’s like 70% of his script is negative or sarcastic
Keep Blogging Peds… If I don’t have anything Arsenal going on.. I will lose my shit. There is only so many times I can hear anymore reports about the damn virus. So favorite defender.. Bacary Sagna… the man.. rocked straight up Bo Derek beads on his head well past when it was fashionable and if you needed a dude to get a job done defensively. He was your man.. let’ put it this way we didn’t worry about the right side of our defense like we do now. But honestly, have you seen his wife….? no seriously.. his wife is… Read more »
I’m going to go left field for this one
Name : bacary Sagna ( weirdest name ever)
Why: saw him on his debut match and thought he was going to flop even though he played a solid 7/10.
After that it’s just been one consistent performance after another.
Fav moment, was when he back kicked a ball to clear it off the goal line against a team whose name escapes me.
Johan ” Arsenal Tv ” Djourou.
China1,
What’s the current response in china?
Are you guys still under quarantine?
Interested to know what happens once a lockdown is removed, does the virus just explode again as many expect it will?
Thanks for the post Pedders. Dyke is an idiot if he thinks that clubs are going to play three times a week behind closed doors and the one who has half the squad out isolating or ill and as a consequence gets relegated isn’t going to sue. Typical of the man who only has eyes on the money.
Best defender would be TA pipping Sol in the way that Dennis just pips TH14 as our greatest ever player.
Name : Bacary Sagna
Why I love him : we hardly have consistent performers but he was one of the few,calm,mature and professional
Best moments : whenever he was called up to deputise in the middle he does it without fuse and excellently,he went to man city and never heard much noise,just his game and step aside
He is not my best defender far from it but at a time where we were almost always disastrous at the back he becomes my favorite because of his consistency
Sagna was a fabulous servant for arsenal! Unai we’re in a slow process of opening now. My company is letting people return to work this week having been closed since around the 24th of Jan! Even now only 1/4 of the people are allowed back, temperature taken on entry, everyone must wear a mask, canteen closed etc. next week will be another 1/4 back in and so on. Outside of hubei province it’s becoming increasingly open but everywhere is restricted in some form or another. No restaurants allow seating, takeaway only, shopping malls manage the number of people allowed in… Read more »
Name – Shkodran Mustafi ( Also known as Shkodran Baresi)
Why- 1)Ability to completely shut off his brain in critical moments.
2) Ability to perform as a 1-man backline after costing us a goal
Fav moment- Not one but many when he has showcased his aforementioned abilities to the full.
Thumping header against the Spuds.
Don’t know if we are talking just arsenal or everywhere, but for me was Alessandro Nesta. Guy was just unbeatable whatever you tried, whether in the air or the ground and so intelligent. Him, cannavaro and Maldini in the same team was ridiculous.
I thought some Aussie was talking about chloroquine yesterday, or was he having too much to drink? Surely people who feel they are showing covid-19 symptoms must have eaten some chloroquine, and if the virus disappears as that dude claims then some C rated journalists would have made a gold mine of it. Headline today should be CORONAVIRUS ARRESTED BY CHLOROQUINE. Maybe too early for all of that to have happened. I just realize this can’t go on, people are scared shitless to get on the plane and go do their work. Then not having football games is itself like… Read more »

There is one major question, which needs perhaps to be discussed.
Clearly the Leisure Industry [including Football] which is one of the major employers [approximately 20% in UK] is going to be in serious financial difficulty.
Can you see Kroenke holding onto ownership of Arsenal once this crisis is over? He will have enough on his plate with his sports franchises and property interests in USA.
Stroller
After the financial bloodbath, I doubt anyone in the world has any liquidity left to buy anything over.
Philippe Senderos.
His best moment:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYTcf55B-oY
Martin Keown he was a beast!
Stroller, The retail industry was already reeling under the online assault on their bottom line. I could see a lot more retail brand/shops getting under while Amazon and other online retailers suck all purchases on their platform. Especially of the lockdown continue for a long period of time. Who want to buy their stuff in ghost town with the risk of gettick sick while things can be safely delivered to your door? Already Amazon has announced that they will hire more employees to cope with the extraordinary demand. In the US Kroenke possess mostly shopping mall and sport franchises. Shopping… Read more »
Best goal from a defender? With an honourable mention to TA’s charge downfield to net the fourth against Everton I would go for Nutty’s blaster against Wimbledon in May 1989. Absolute belter.
Sol Campbell by a country mile was Arsenals best
of the last 25 years.
Favourite defender Keown, but love Lauren too. The man absolutely didnt give a fuck and would tear out your intestines rather than let you get by him….and to think we replaced him with Eboue the Coco clown a man who could nt run ten yards without falling down for no reason
Gentlebris no more of that unnecessary sarcasm please
I for one do actually know nothing!
Pedro
” I like this quote from what he said in Jan.
“It is a team that yes I would like to buy someday, but what I keep saying is we have $20billion worth of projects and that’s what I really want to concentrate on,”
Did he say that a year ago or so? Get the feeling the guy’s a sound bite.
Best/worst back 4 combo of the last 25 yrs:
Oleg Luzhny
Igor Stepanovs
Pascal Cygan (remember his brace at Highbury?)
Andre Santos
Squillaci and Sylvestre almost made the cut…
Paolo Maldini hands down.
Skill, pace, size , longevity and rock star looks to boot.
Not a single weakness to his game and everything he did was at an absolute top level.
He was as comfortable making a last ditch tackle as a cheeky nutmeg on an unexpected winger.
He was the best in the world during a time when Serie A was the go to destination for worlds best attacking talent.
Un, why not just look for a real answer instead of taking backwater conspiracies from Reddit? The Economist: ‘Is this out-performance justified? At the most basic level, it makes sense that China’s equities have fared better than those of other countries recently. Fears about the spread of covid-19, and specifically about the economic damage that will result from the measures taken to slow it, have been the main reason for the collapse in share prices in America and Europe. In China the trend is running in the other direction. Factories and restaurants have, in growing numbers, re-opened their doors. Investors… Read more »
Emirates, Stan is a property guy, all about the long term… there’s no way he’s going to give up an asset that will always appreciate and continue to be entrenched in massive TV deal money.
Nothing will bore him of Arsenal, sadly. Best hope we have is Josh taking a keener interest.
“Can you see Kroenke holding onto ownership of Arsenal once this crisis is over? He will have enough on his plate with his sports franchises and property interests in USA.”
Hey babe.
Do you really think president is going to let his billionaire buddies take a hit on this? There will be corporate hand-outs the likes of which have been never seen. Will make the banking crisis corporate welfare look like a child’s allowance.
Tony. Ask Stroller about his connections on the board, and how they replied to his email that one time.
I love sausage.
Pedro you are correct to change my mean posts, instead of simply deleting them.
Pedro
Fair comment. My question was because he had borrowed money to buy shares in club last year and we know that he has heavy commitments in USA specifically with building new stadium.
Can you please deal with the arrogant guys like Tony and Alex Cutter whose
sole intent when posting on here is to abuse others.
No mention of mesquite.
Name: Adams.
Why you love them: The ability to resurrect his career after alcoholism, prison and age is an inspiration to millions. Not to mention all the good his Sporting Chance has done. Being the leader of THAT defence. Being captain of Arsenal.
Best moment: Everton. Obviously.
Stop referring to Dangote as “the African”, it’s weird.
He’s Nigerian. You wouldn’t call someone French, German or even British as “the European”.
It’s uncomfortable to read. I’ve noticed it before, it’s happened again so I’d like to express the discomfort it causes.
Guns, agree with TA. Remember being at his first home game(If memory serves!) when he matched Ian Rush for pace, thinking we’ve got a player here!
Every one of my non-Brit friends have been messaging me asking me what Boris is smoking. The “you will lose loved ones” and “herd immunity” debacle of particular interest.
Also idiots still jet-setting all over the place for leisure travel to some of the hardest hit countries because “they made these plans months ago and they don’t want to waste the 45 quid they spent on the ticket” lol
Jamie, that Senderos video is cracking. Thanks for the share.
Keown also a good call. One of the last guys you would want to play against. And should have remained our defensive coach.
O’Leary was my guy growing up, so I’m always happy to see him in the stands these days. Plus he broke Leeds.
“when he matched Ian Rush for pace”
Maybe he had his brandy bottle caught in Rush’s shorts?
I always remember Sol when we played Portsmouth.
The game was going nowhere we were tippy tippy mode.
He got the ball at the halfway line bashed his way past four players and hoofed it into the net from 25 yds.Then he gave that look which said ‘ that’s the way to do it,’
Memorable
It does not bode well with me that Arsnal are linked with every player on the
move !! Shows a lack of concentration in transfer policy and lack of
cinfidence within the club ??
Bob
Ha ha…I reckon most people could have matched Rush for pace! He wasn’t a speed merchant…was he??? I actually can’t remember.
Apparently the O2 network has gone down due to demand as people work from home.
So many unforeseen issues that will be thrown up by this.
My pleasure, Moray!
Hard to believe that teams are talking transfers. There may be ZERO sport of any type for years.
Dr on radio just laid it down “viruses have thousands of years head start on us and are really good at exploiting human weakness”.
dave
The best thing about Campbell was how his career became a serious one after he left he Spud’s and joined us. He was always a talented defender but he had to leave the shower down the road to start playing on the big stage.
Swiss, I can refer to him as Nigerian if that makes you feel more comfortable.
Liam Brady was so good to watch, he and Bobby Moore were one offs
His goal v Spuds in that 5-2 game.
He’s Nigerian. You wouldn’t call someone French, German or even British as “the European”.
Actually, people do that all the time.
Hackney The science advisor for the times was on the radio this morning talking about the 2nd briefing after Boris’s yesterday where the government science experts were explaining the data and how decisions are being made. He said it’s genuinely frightening because once we start moving into the measure we’re now taking it’s very difficult to remove them without a vaccine in place. We’re supposed to be very close to a vaccine but it’ll take 12 – 18 months before it can be rolled out – that might be able to be squeezed by a few months but it can’t… Read more »

Fire. Fire cleanses all.
Pedro, why not just use the guy’s name? Not sure why his nationality is an issue unless we are going to refer to the Yank, the Uzbek (now departed), etc.
Anyway, I’m not counting on us being big spenders this summer so a more pertinent question is who will be exiting? Is Xhaka still toast and will we finally be able to rid ourselves of Ozil’s pay packet?
When i was in Lower East the young man beside used to be nervous as F—when Keown was not in the Line Up.
lol
I don’t know why we’re talking transfers – the way things are moving I can’t see the season being played out and next season starting anywhere near a conventional start date.
Marc, if the regulators play ball no reason why a vaccine can’t be delivered more quickly. Is the will there? The current regulations are massively weighed towards safety of those trialling new treatments. If we can relax that a bit (pay people large sums to take part if necessary) we can get this done in half the time, or sooner. Time for our ‘leaders’ to start leading.

There are sadly people who post on here who “are flat track bullies” and like to
make snide remarks about other posters and of course make the sort of posts
you refer to.
Basically they are “crowd cowards ” and the sort of people who if they opened
their stupid mouths to my face thirty years ago would be “hospitalised”.
Sadly the internet allows them to say what they like with the benefit of anonymity.
People may not agree with what others have to say, but at least be polite and
argue in a correct way.
andy I don’t think it’s that simple – what the guy was saying (and I’m quoting from memory so not my opinion) the first stage is a small scale test of a few hundred, it then takes 3 months to see if there are any side effects. Assuming that’s all OK 2nd stage is rolled out to a few thousand who are expected to come into contact with the virus to see if it works, that takes a further 6 months. 3rd stage is then mas vaccination – he said stage can be accelerated by a few months. Obviously once… Read more »

A transfer window is inevitable, teams will need to buy and sell because of the disruption of the season more so than ever.
CC
No argument there’ll be a transfer window but will it be at the normal time? We still don’t know how the TV money situation is going to pan out and if clubs are playing behind closed doors they lose gate revenue as well.
We were losing money before this started – I have no idea how it will pan out but at the moment talking transfers seems crazy when we don’t know if / when the season will be completed etc.

I always find it strange that the ones who class themselves as progressive are also the ones who think the world owes them a living!
“It is my great honour to declare Sunday, March 15 as a National Day of Prayer. We are a Country that throughout our history, has looked to God for protection and strength in times like these”…
Donald Trump, President, United States of America.
Marc, that’s true as things stand. They can cut those periods, they are designed for being ultra cautious because drug companies don’t like being sued. Change the regulations and let governments give legal protection and that can be shorter. This is why I suggested pay volunteers huge sums for the extra risks. While that is going on drug companies can gear up for mass production. I work for a US drug company that makes flu vaccines (grown in eggs), it’s not a complicated process really.
andy I’m not saying making the vaccine is going to be the problem – it’s getting it to the stage where it can start to be manufactured on a huge scale. Saying pay people to under go testing – I’m not sure that’s the problem you still need to make sure there aren’t any serious side effects and that it actually works. A vaccine that causes cancer isn’t any good it’ll kill thousands of times the number of people that the virus will. It doesn’t work properly and you’ve instilled a sense of everything’s ok now and then have another… Read more »
Cha Cha “”””A transfer window is inevitable””””” I think you will find there will be no transfer window after this Corona chaos. With the calendar all over the place- CG predicts for a season or two- we will see a fluid transfer system with it eventually dying it out together. (And bearing in mind players who have suffered from Corona might have underlying respiratory complications because of it.)

I am perfectly happy to have an argument with anyone if we disagree on a
subject, but I do not like those people who take pleasure in belittling others
just to prove how big, better or simply are as Pierre and Valentin posted yesterday just being pricks.
People should try to be civilised.

You deserve a knighthood for your services in these misearble/hard times.
I bow to your kindness.. for keeping us looking forward to something worthy enough on a daily basis.

W.r.t the best defender. Its difficult to pick one so,

They were stars!!
Miss them now. Down to Luiz being the best defender in our team 😣

Its paddy s day and the streets looks like curfew times. Massive disappointment.
Pedders s the only redeming factor now.
Marc, hear what you are saying, the process really is ultra-cautious as it stands and we’re talking of perhaps increasing the risk from a million to one to maybe twice that by moving more quickly. These tests are incredibly thorough – I took part in an anti-malarial trial a few years ago (incidentally the first trial subjects were army personnel that time, specifically Aussies and South Africans) and they give you regular fully body MOT’s (for example regular renal function tests). I wouldn’t have an issue with signing up for a trial, what the drug companies are worried about are… Read more »
