What’s that you can hear? It’s Arsenal’s Safe Space Thursday™ brought to you in association with Europa League.
NO ONE CAN HURT YOU THERE.
We head to Ireland for a game against Dundalk. I can’t wait. We’re going to see free-flowing football, intricate goals, shots on target, balls into the final third, the passes will be on the ground all game. It’ll be a feast of football and I can’t wait.
Mikel said he’s going to take some of the kids over.
Will Balogun land a start? I hope so.
We’ll certainly see AMN, Eddie, and ESR. We MIGHT even see Miguel Azeez. Might be too early for Patino, but you never know what sort of madness the gaffer might drop after he’s been well and truly told by the fans this week (just kidding).
Tonight won’t mean much in the grand scheme of things, but you know what, who fucking cares? Just give me a 4-0 win to keep me breathing until Burnley smash us at the weekend.
What are we looking for? Signs of life. A clear plan. A little bit of joy.
My hope is that the Hale-Enders smell blood in the water. They need to sense their chance is coming soon, and they need to be extra motivated to put the dossers in the first team to bed. I’ve spoken about that AMN interview all week, because it said to me the young players gossip about the senior players not putting in a shift. Water cooler gossip about how much better you are than the person above you only matters if you eat the chance when it arrives.
We need the kids to show us the way. Arteta needs to prove out what a future with young creative players with athletic profiles could look like. He needs to take every opportunity he can to put a bit of confidence back in the project. Dundalk away is probably the best place to start.
I’ve watched all of Arteta’s press conferences since he joined and the show he put on yesterday was very interesting. He was grilled a little bit and put in situations he struggled to fight his way out of. There were two notable moments he tried to back out of.
The first was being asked about his DAZN Spain statement regarding the need for 5-6 new players to get to a 4-3-3. He really squirmed because he knew he’d fucked up there. He tried to make out he needed some sort of specificity, but he poorly tried to insinuate he could evolve players and he might have some of them in reserve. Super awkward. Everyone knows he needs new players, but you can’t really say that at the start of December if you want a turn out of the bums you’re currently trying to motivate to put their boots on.
He was then asked if the senior players in the league were letting him down. Again, you know he wanted to say OF COURSE THEY ARE, but he tried to smooth his way out by saying he wouldn’t pick the seniors if they were letting him down, and, by the way, he wanted everyone to be reminded he gives the kids games in cup finals and important games.
Not his finest performance. He looked very uncomfortable, usually, he’s very chipper. It’s all getting a bit twitchy. I’d imagine he’s very hurt by how quickly the fans turned this month and how fast the players he pumped have gone down the shitter. Still, no time to feel sorry for yourself, time to get this show BACK on the road.
10 good games in a row and all is forgotten.
He needs that 10 games to start from now. A huge ask, but all the good managers have the stardust to make it happen. Does Mikel? I hope so. I want to go back into the comments section on my own site this year. SO FFS MIKEL PULL IT TOGETHER MAN.
A short one today, but before I go…

Morning all
time for comfy Europa night
Ten good games in a row and all is forgotten.
Twenty-two game unbeaten run and the guy is a bum.
Consistency, lol.
Sup
Europa league place
Doesn’t look good for oreo Pedro. Here’s hoping le-grove rallies to make up the gap.
Created a Twitter account just to vote. Oreo 42.5% right now.
Do t know if you guys say this:
Kia Joorabchian: “The fact is I had nothing to do with the signing of Willian. If Jamie [Carragher] had bothered to check with Mikel or Edu, they would have said Mikel presented 3 different times to convince Willian to be his number one signing at Arsenal. David Luiz the same.” https://t.co/cqDaGVcWDq
Man, mikel is digging his own grave.
Top ten!
Voted for Oreo so fingers crossed Le Grovers can make the difference!
LeeDixon on twitter – The club, the team, Bellerin himself has bigger issues to concentrate on rather than throw-ins. If I’d been a persistent offender at this under GG( I made a couple) he would have sorted me out in 5 mins. “Do that again you little sh*t and I’ll fine you 2 weeks wages” @Arsenal 🤣
Kia the self serving agent is smelling the wind turning. He is now starting to shift the blame of that appalling deal on Arteta.
Who need enemies when you have friends like that?!
No 15 lol
Good post Pedro but this night means nothing
Even if we beat Dundalk 13-0 it means nothing to our season. Arteta’s shot at redemption starts with Burnley not Dundalk, I’m quite certain Eddie Nketiah’s monthly wage covers Dundalk’s entire squad monthly take home
Arteta was very uncomfortable during the press-conference, because he is now under proper scrutiny. His attempt at off-the-record briefing are not working anymore. He is now directly challenged by journalists.
The problem is that his past blusters and bullshits does not convince them anymore. He is now realising that the table has turn in him. From feeding them stories to being the story.
From using the media to enhance his reputation, to being used by them to generate clickbait.
Voted for you pedro.
“Ten good games in a row and all is forgotten.Twenty-two game unbeaten run and the guy is a bum.Consistency, lol.”
As much as I don’t rate emery, I would really love it if pedro writes a blog with the title – “Unai, I am so sorry. You are 10x better than arteta.”
RH, Agreed, unless we take a pasting against Dunkalk. Burnley is now a relegation 6 pointers. Win and we may hope to look upward. Lose and fear will start to creep in. Either way, I can’t see him turning things around. He would have to admit that he was wrong in his approach. I doubt that he will he reintegrate Saliba and Özil. Edu will swing the axe and contact Allegri. If Allegri refuses or dither, we may be better off to use the Arsenal Women coach: Montemurro. He is already an employee and he has shown that he can… Read more »
PedRo
****I’ve watched all of Arteta’s press conferences since he joined and the show he put on yesterday was very interesting****
(Good effort that)
He will make a great politician one day this one.
My , he talks some bullshit- and speaks it in x 6 languages too. Talented.
MSM and supporters starting to see the mask slip though.
Ps. Good luck with Oreo.
Valentin – better still play Miedema instead of Laca.
NORG,
If Miedema was playing in the Arsenal’s men team, she would have broken Arteta non-negotiables within 10 monutea. She would be very grumpy and the midfield and coaching staff would know what she really think of their output.
Voted, Oreo 42.8.
Steak gives you cancer anyway…
Oreo just diabetes.
Never really been bowled over by Arteta’s press conferences at the best of times. Always talked like he had just come around from general anaethesia.
All managers struggle in interviews coming off a bad run of results. Arteta’s in an impossible situation answering certain questions.
. The press like nothing more than an ‘arsenal in crisis’ story and they smell blood.
Everyone can see that the senior players have been shit and we need new, young replacements, but he’s not going to say that explicitly.
Arteta’s fight for survival starts now. The next three games:
Dundalk
Burnley at home
Sounthampton at home
are must wins,
Everton away is a musn’t lose.
“Always talked like he had just come around from general anaethesia”
You and me both
Very mechanical and dull, always chuckled when fans go wow did you hear what Arteta said. Man has zero charisma
Alexander Dundalk isn’t a must win
You won’t find a more meaningless game played in Europe than Dundalk vs Arsenal. It means absolutely nothing so don’t know why you guys are building up a meaningless game against part time footballers
Arteta is not just a politician, he is a lying jackass who thinks the fan base are to dumb to understand what’s going on. Yesterday when asked about the Partey injury he said “ “He got injured in the same area,” said the Spaniard. “Not exactly the same spot, but similar as it was before.‘ It turns out that Partey may be out fir up to 2 months because he has a grade 2 muscle strain, that’s why the club aren’t releasing his return date. How do you do you dog]from saying that “ I don’t think he will be… Read more »
*How do you do you go from saying that “ I don’t think he will be with us in the next few games.” on November 30 to playing him on December 6.?
If Anyone decides Arteta’s future ( I still advocate he gets the the better part of the season to sought himself out) on a game vs Dundalk that person needs to be committed
Oreo’s commecial is a 5:15 min video about building an Oreo vault in Svalbard, Norway where their recipe along with a large stockpile of cookies are stored and meant to survive a global natural or man-made disaster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufbzSZk1xhw Steak-umm’s ad is a 7 tweets long twitter thread regarding misinformation during the pandemic. https://twitter.com/steak_umm/status/1247343900475490304 Oreo’s ad is far superior. The video is extremely well made. As a videographer I can see the amount of effort put and also the quality. But above all, a video is nothing without an idea. The idea behind the video is fantastic. Steak-umm’s is common knowledge… Read more »
Haha. Trust the process guys. This Arteta process.
By the way Pedro, I am team Oreo.
Can we at least use this match to practice how to actually play through the middle, make runs behind defenders, play one touch football and have a flexible forward line?
Watching Arsenal is a chore these days. Bad results and terrible football.
Pedro is trying hard but in the down moments you often see the true character of a person and the characteristics being displayed by Arteta are not looking that good for him as he appears to have an arrogance about him and accountability issues .He now looks very inexperienced and flirting dangerously with topics that can inflict terminal damage on his management career at arsenal not that he hasn’t already before I get some randaom saying “of my god how much are fans like this gonna take and they are the reason bla bla bla” It seems the handling of… Read more »
Kia Joorabchian: “The fact is I had nothing to do with the signing of Willian. If Jamie had bothered to check with Mikel or [technical director] Edu, they would have said Mikel presented three different times to convince Willian to be his number one signing at Arsenal. He had an opportunity to stay at Chelsea and to go to two other Premier League clubs. [Inter] Miami made him a very nice offer. Mikel convinced him to stay. “Furthermore, David Luiz was in the same situation. Mikel spent a lot of time in lockdown to speak to him and persuade him… Read more »
Hey Raptora I just read that OREO’S thing , I am not gonna get that time back mate
Let’s put it to complete rest. Arteta has had absolute control on the incoming and outgoing transfers. Arteta had the absolute power to shuffle his squad in any way he desired. He did it in an embarrassing way, where Willian was his #1 target -> direct competition for our record signing. He also chose to keep all the players we should have sold as AMN and Lacazette, Xhaka and Mustafi. Whoever has a half a brain cell left, will know that this squad is his squad, as he had multiple options to change it as he wanted to. This is… Read more »
You get the impression that Arteta has been running rings around Edu, undermining him at very turn.
He didn’t just get promoted to manager by merit, he squeezed it out of the owners with his performance to arm-twist the players into committing to a wage reduction.
shaun,
lolololol
Tabloid rumors; Mikel Arteta is targeting Manchester City centre-back Eric Garcia for Arsenal, according to reports
Glory to Jah
We’ve found our attacking midfielder
Voted Oreo’s Pedro. You need something to smile about after a miserable year football related and unrelated. Good luck.
Also Arteta out, awful manager absolutely clueless
Its important to note that ownership have remained silent and the dreaded “Vote of Confidence “ has yet to be provided.
When that is given you will know that Arteta’s time is soon to be up. Hard to tell with Arsenal ownership though, they tend to leave the impression of only caring when the bottom line may be impacted.
Prioritising a CB this January should be grounds for dismissal in itself alone.
Dissenter
*******he squeezed it out of the owners with his performance to arm-twist the players into committing to a wage reduction.********
I think the players will enact their revenge and chuck him under the bus next week,
I have Burnley and Saints down for a minimum of 2 goals each and Calvert Lewis and Richardson and James will absolutely destroy Arsenal at the end of a tiring week at Goodison.
Then its the cheats of Manchester and Chelsea and Brighton.
No Arsenal fan will ever forget December 2020! I think its going to be carnage.
Merry Christmas.
T.T.
Pedro
I’ll vote Oreo 1) times over the course of the day, if you promise to not mention Emery to deflect blame for Arteta for 10 days.
Deal?
Bread and circuses… that’s all the Europa League is to distract the masses from what is really going on at Arsenal. Wenger, Emery and Arteta — three managers all encountering similar problems. Getting rid of the manager is easy… and brings temporary illusion of solving the problem. Guess what every time we fire a manager we waste paying him off and having a churn of players and staff — money that should really go to strengthening the first team squad… and we take another step backwards. Firing the manager is like taking an aspirin to cure the headache when the… Read more »
What we have here is a couple of deer in the headlights. Not sure which one of Arteta or Edu will get hit first, but it will be one of them before too long.
Edu can’t have his own agent pinning the blame on Arteta for signing two of that agent’s other clients. He should go first and Arteta be given 10 Premier League games to turn things around.
Arteta is a lucky man at the moment and the gods are on his side as no fans have been around to witness the villa and wolves defeats as the pressure would be double what it is now .The Burnley game will be different and a performance like we have seen against villa and wolves will not be greeted very well by the fans never the less it will be interesting to see Arteta response after the game , as he has had some pearls of late ….”it’s simple just put the ball in the net” it is clearly not… Read more »
I guess we ALL squirm when forced to tell the truth about something we’d rather not, like when did you last have sex with your wife?
Arteta told the truth.
Yes, the first team squad DOES need 5/6 players – though they might evolve or some from the younger players. Anyone disagree?
And, yes, the elderly ARE underperforming. Anyone disagree?
Full marks to Arteta for being honest.
Oreo Rocks… best thing to come out of America along with Reese’s Pieces that doesn’t immediately kill you.
Tim Lewis is not the answer. What CEO/Leadership role has he had? Vinai is a long-term pencil pusher. The lack of leadership is killing the club and hands-off ownership is the last thing we need right now.
Dissenter “Watch the pattern of lies he spews every time his back is against the wall.” I callled the bullshit 6 months ago…as per usual you’re all 6 months behind me ( CG the exception) …you all jump on the bandwagon in the end . I’m going against CG now and predict that Arteta will turn things around slowly but surely. I’ve seen improvement in some areas in the last couple of games, i can’t see this continuous crossing into the box carrying on, more composure , patience and invention around the box is needed . I’ve been calling for… Read more »
I swear half of you guys are trolls lol
If you want Arsenal to succeed then you have to allow some consistency.
If you want Arteta to be replaced by Vieira, then remember in Cesc’s interview last month he said he respected how Patrick stuck to philosophy no matter what the results were (you’d view him as another Pep lite from the Man City coaching machine).
If you want Allegri to come in to wake up the attack, then you’ve chosen a prima donna who only cares about defence (basically you’d view him as a more expensive Arteta)
Pierre
Bench them?
Come January, sell them. Xhaka and Willian would be first two names on the transfer list if I was in charge. I would also tell Lacazette he has a month to prove himself or he’ll be on there too.
Btw Pedro I tried to remove the apostrophe in my name like you recommended another user before but I feel like my comments never make it through moderation 🙁
When can Areta amend his Premiership squad list for the second half of the season? In January? I want to see Saliba on there.
“You know I don’t run annoying adverts? There’s no Patreon asks. I don’t sell tasteful on-the-whistle merch for an outrage bonus.
Well, I need some help today. A gift from you, to me.”
Pedro. Just consider yourself fortunate that we haven’t had you cancelled already. That’s gratitude enough from an internet mob.
Voted Oreo but still don’t like the bloody things.
Pierre
*****i’ve been calling for the kids to play for months now, unleash Balogun, let’s see what he’s made of..*****
I would have played the same team that lost to Spurs against Dundalk as punishment and kept the kids fresh for Burnley.
Can you see our old cowardly plodders beating shithousing specialists Burnley?
Our hungry youngsters might though.
Arteta needs to win the next 3 games. We are 9 points from top 4 and 7 from relegation, so it’s make or break time. If we fail to win the next 3 games, I think the club will start looking for a new manager. Maybe get in Ted Lasso, at least he can fix the inter relationship between players and board even if he doesn’t get results, he leaves the club at a better place mentally.
“Come January, sell them. Xhaka and Willian would be first two names on the transfer list if I was in charge. I would also tell Lacazette he has a month to prove himself or he’ll be on there too.”
Have we not been down this path already? Who is going to pay anything for any of those you mention? No one wants someone else’s dross, and especially over priced dross at that. If only it were as easy as you make it out Leeds, if only.
Spot on CG! Auba in particular needs a Dundalk match to kick start his sorry ass, followed by a healthy scratch against Burnley.
Question is, does Arteta have the ability to think outside his own box at the moment?
Sorry but I don’t share this faith some of you have in our youngsters,
*****Spot on CG! Auba in particular needs a Dundalk match to kick start his sorry ass, followed by a healthy scratch against Burnley.****
Its what Brian Clough would have done ER- in fact he would left the whole bloody rabble in Ireland.The Irish league is their level.
And play the youngsters for Burnley.
Cloughie gave Roy Keane his debut at 19 at Anfield of all places.
If Arteta was his manager – he would still be waiting or sent him back on loan him to his Irish Club.
Bullshit.
We seem to be picking up other club’s dross on a regular basis however…
Auba didn’t travel to Ireland so he won’t be playing. The idea that some of you guys have that with Reiss, Eddie and Joe we’ll be dominating games is way off the mark. None of them would start for any Premier League team. None. Reiss couldn’t become a starter in a mid-table German side. Eddie couldn’t become a starter in a Championship club fighting for promotion. And has gotten a LOT of chances to impress in the Seniors. He is not really it. Far from it. Joe has been already been used in the EPL and the contrast between him… Read more »
Why would a player desperate to join his hometown club Barca come to arsenal if really is true then arteta doesn’t know what he wants already centerbacks in the book are 8 this cannot be allowed to go on if he can’t beat Burnley at home then I hope is adios we are 15 let that sink in and hear targeting defenders,clear the Deadwood first.
Pierre, Initially I gave Arteta the benefit of the doubt. I started to waiver when his lies about Guendouzi, then Özil, then Martinez became obvious. I thought that those were rookie manager trying too hard mistakes. But they were not. They are mistakes due to flaws in his character. He is stubborn, narcissistic and unwilling to admit errors. Rumours that he was intense and authoritative were brushed aside because I thought that it is a standard reaction to previous laissez-faire attitude, but the reality is that he is difficult to work with. No shouting and physical bullying, but his polite… Read more »
George Graham gave Ray Parlour his debut at Anfield aged 18, if you’re good enough and all that.
Bottom line though is if your system is crap and you can’t motivate players then it doesn’t matter who you play, you’ll fail.
The result today is of no significance to the position of the club on the league table. What matters most this time around is coming up with a strategy that will allow us to win the match against Burnley. Draw and Arteta Should be given a warning and the riot act read out to him. Lose, then he should be fired. In the Wenger era even though we do not win matches you can not but enjoy the game of attractive and attacking football. Under Arteta we don’t win games and we do not enjoy the brand of football being… Read more »
“Playing the youth would basically mean starting with a weaker front line than any other team in the EPL”
And the three you mention as being better aren’t exactly scorching the earth with their play either Raptora, but your point is more than valid.
If Arteta cant get the best out of any of them then it becomes obvious where the problem lies.
Arteta needs to regain back some trust from the fan base. For today’s game, he has to demonstrate that he actually has an offense system in mind when he has his players (now missing 5 – 6). It is easier to gain our support if we know what he is trying to do. Emery at the end kept changing his system. It got worse and worse. For now, all we know is that he wants to do high pressing. He’ll need more players like Martinelli. If he wants to play ball possession, he’ll have to sign players like Houssem Aouar.… Read more »
Imagine Partey who was a machine for ATM and literally played all the games for the club now looking a crock the moment he stepped foot in the club, I think there is something wrong with this club and Arteta utterly deserve the sack for how he’s managed some of the players.
Outside of giving Pedro a vote of confidence with his Oreo’s campaign, the same unfortunately cannot be said of Arteta, whom thus far remains underwhelming given current trending.
I feel sadness these days.
Raptora,
Other managers have been able to devise systems, tactics that maximise their output with a much worse lineup than ours. I am pretty sure that a good manager would be at least 15th if he had use mostly youngsters.
The issue is Arteta who wants a very static style of football. That is always going to be ineffective on the long run. You can park the bus against top opposition and nick a cup win, but in the league that approach is doomed to fail.
I created a Twitter account to vote for your Oreos, Pedro.
Still only 43%, which suggests to me either they are better or else one of the creatives has an Arsenal blog which was anti Arteta joining the club.
Like Pierre have repeatedly stated before, if Arteta really intend to play that high intensity pressing game, then why give contract and extension to Aubameyang, Willian, David Luiz. Those 3 cannot and will not do it consistently for a full season.
Arteta is complaining that he is short of 6 players, but he personally chose 3 of them. He could have 3 players with qualities better suited to that approach.
Talking about personnel and injuries, Asking Partey to singlehandedly control the midfield against an opposition duo or trio is setting up to have recurring muscle injuries. Especially if he is to be partnered with Xhaka.
Afternoon, Today’s a dead rubber game, a chance for Arteta to play all the youngsters. confidence wise, if they lose its a nothing game, if they smash it, its the potential leg up to see if they can get a chance against Burnley or at least make the bench for some of them. we’ve all seen enough of the first team to know who should be booted out. and who deserves to keep there place, not many on current form. the problem is you cant just replace 6-7 players against Burnley but you can add one or two and make… Read more »
There are some rumours we are looking at offloading Willian. That would be excellent business, at least by Arsenal standards.
Moray
How can we offload him he is on a three year contract.
Voted for Oreo but at 43% not looking good same as Arteta’s Arsenal
I think a couple of bad results leading to a drubbing against Chavs will see Arteta out of a job
Really dreading the Chavs fixture,Could be very ugly.
Anything thinking Willian will leave anytime soon…Think again.
We’ll finally get rid of Ozil then have Willian take his place. Has to be some of the worst business the club has ever done. Worse than Squillaci, Jenkinson,Andre Santos, Kallstrom, Bischoff…
Anyone*
London, there are clubs interested in buying him.hard to believe but there it is. Maybe they haven’t forked out the fee to watch any of our games this season.
Moray
Stop being so gullible. The reason he joined us was because he wanted to stay in London.
Moray the clubs will not pay him more than us.
He like ozil is on inflated wages and we can’t get rid of him.
Easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a niddle than Arsenal offloading Willian, that’s simply not how the cub operate, I completely expect Willian to see how his 3 year contract with the club.
Good post. Voted oreo. Nice work.
Victoious
Not only will Willian see out his 3 year contract – the club will offer him an extention!
I came across a statement: Should Mikel Arteta implement his preferred style of football and assemble the team over time, rather than try to find a style of play which suits the players he has. Keep in mind that he has to win some EPL games in the meantime.
I am all for implement his preferred style of football and assemble the team over time. He should also request the academy to develop the type of players that he needs.
Valentin
Regarding Partey injury, read that he had come to the side to complain to Arteta that he cannot carry on with Xaka not helping out on the side when he was pushed back by Arteta. Partey moved back and one could see he suddenly hopped up as if hurting. Rest is history. Of course this could be a story !
“7 points might save him?”
Ambitious given that each of the teams they are playing are no longer pushovers for Arsenal.
Ernest,
i think we beat Burnley, just.
Draw with Southampton and lose to Everton
4 points for me, and thats not good enough.
when you throw in the chavs after that, its not looking pretty.
thats why i think hes gone by boxing day. gives the new manager the whole of the transfer window to work some magic.
“Not his finest performance. He looked very uncomfortable, usually, he’s very chipper.”
Reminds me of a cat that has licked all the SAUCE off its dinner and is now left staring at the unappetizing gristle that remains.
“10 good games in a row and all is forgotten.”
Saucey Arsenal can’t manage 10 good minutes in a row.
Saka aside, there’s little evidence to suggest the “Hale Enders” are good enough to make the grade. These players were selected by the same youth coaching system that binned off a 12-year-old Harry Kane because he wasn’t ripped enough. They’re not elite talents. The best we can hope for is they become decent enough that they catch the eye of teams like Everton and Wolves – as did AMN (before Arteta mystifyingly turned down the £16million bid) and Iwobi before him.
This is how I see it. Our next 5 PL fixtures: Burnley H, Win Southampton H, Win Everton A, Draw/Win Chelsea H, Draw/Win Brighton A, Win The Chelsea game could most probably end up as another home defeat for us, as they are in form and going to challenge ‘Pool and City for the title. But in all reality, we ought to be beating Burnley and Southampton at home, and at worst drawing away at Goodison Park, or maybe winning there. With Brighton away, Arteta needs to win this game as well. Anything less than what I’ve written above, and… Read more »
*could BE curtains. Damn phone!
We’re screwed lol
Play Nelson, play ESR, play AMN, play Balogun, play Saliba.
There is no more time left to keep on trying with these pension footballers, play the damn kids.
And get omari Hutchinson in the team why don’t you.
TBH we could probably bring Raphael Meade and John Hawley out of retirement and win tonight. Not so sure about Gus Caesar though.
