Hello people. Sorry for the intermittent posting. I’m on two pitches. What a start to 2021.
Talking of pitches, whoever pitched Mesut to Fener, is a genius. The German finally ended his sad Arsenal career, completing his move yesterday. The Turkish fans aren’t just welcoming a player, they’re welcoming a newly adopted child to their country. The engagement on the tweets is next level, they’ve taken him from Germany, and it’s all quite sweet. I like to see the man smiling.
Good luck to the player. There was never any valour in sitting out the best years of a career for money when you are already loaded. Sad that his agent advised him to behave like that, but here we are, the 10%er usually wins out in these moments.
So, £350k, in theory, back on the books. Reality is we already burned that money on Auba, Partey and Willian. I don’t think we’ve really opened up much in the way of manoeuvring for players.
I think it is almost certain that we’ll bid for a keeper. The hot money is going on Freddie Woodman of Swansea. The Welsh club has signed a replacement from Huddersfield potentially opening the path for us to nab the English 23-year-old. He’s such an unknown that he doesn’t have an ELITE SAVES & BOX COMMANDING 2017-21 video on Youtube. Still, people are telling me he’s good, so I’ll take that advice.
We’re also rumoured to be back in for Emi Buendia and Ryan Christie of Celtic. Ryan has a WHY ARSENAL SHOULD SIGN THIS TOTAL DREAMBOAT video.
Ryan Christie is interesting. We often turn our nose up at Scotland, but hard to of late, they’re churning out some top-class players. Christie scored 20 goals and made 16 assists last season. This year he has 11 assists and 4 goals and Celtic have been shite. He’s on his 3rd season with Celtic, he has 37 goals, 37 assists in 120 odd appearances.
He’s a late bloomer, he just turned 25 years old, one year older than VVD before he arrived here. He’s slummed it with loans at Aberdeen and Inverness. If we’re interested in him, you can’t help but imagine some of the interest has come from KT pumping him. They play together internationally and his numbers stack up well there as well. He can pay right, left and through the middle. I would be interested in this sort of move, it’ll be inexpensive, it could have a big upside, and who are we to turn our noses up against Scottish talent? John McGinn, Andy Robertson, and KT show that they’re doing awesome things up north.
Emi Buendia is also a player I’d be happy with. He’s young, has done it in the league, and he ticks all the boxes we’re looking for. It would be very dangerous for us to head into the rest of the season with ONLY ESR for creativity.
Newcastle this evening. Great news that Tierney is fit, Gabi is returning, and maybe we’ll see Gabi CB back in contention. We are nearly fully fit.
We need to win. We can’t let this go to extra-time because that option isn’t available to us. We need to find our scoring boots. Auba and Lacazette need to find some magic, and hopefully, the service is a little better. I assume we’ll see Thomas Partey starting this one, which will give us a better dynamic. Newcastle are pretty average though, we’re not in need of a shield, we’re in need of some bravery.
Let’s see what the boys have got. On the whistle pod after, keep them ears PEELED. Enjoy tonight, I hope you’re all safe at home. x
Fantastic ESR
Saka!!!!! What a kid!!!!
Slowest counter attack I’ve ever seen but it did the job!
Yeah!! SAka!!!
Now need 3 more .. let’s go Arsenal
Mesut who?
That Newcastle defender is probably still spinning.
“Which haters?
People just want us to win. Stop the BS”
When he says haters he’s probably talking about the shit posters have written eg” now he’s signed his contract he doesn’t give a shit
I knew he shouldn’t have signed a new contract bla bla bla
That’s it lads!!! Great little shimmy from ESR. first time from Saka just like the goal against Newcastle last season scored by Pepe.
Partey is fantastic today !!
Teenage kicks
Great block there Holding – he’s looking pretty solid.
His stats are as good as any CAM we can sign right now. He is showing so much layers to his game that it is impossible to drop him now.
Auba was too lazy to run. He’ll tell ESR You run it for me. Ha! Ha!
ESR with some lovely skill. Another lovely goal. Saka heroics.
Who did the forward pass from midfield that started the attack though – Partey again.
La la la
It’s the one and only ESR … Smith Rowe mutha fucker…
La la la you know your messing with the arsenal god….
Boys class
G,
I meant literally 10 ppl slating Auba when he was by a country mile our most dangerous player in the first half. And was trying really hard giving his best. I don’t get it.
Partey is the icing for ESR..
Just give the No.10 to Smith Rowe tonight!!
We wouldn’t have heard a squeak about Ozil from Pierre Arteta played ESR earlier in the season,
I don’t want to hear anyone insinuate that ESR isn’t. There something special about promoting your own
Raptora,
Both goals are the results of the player quality rather any coaching or tactic.
Xaka just killed that counter, happy with 2 nil, get this weak bastard out the club
*We wouldn’t have heard a squeak about Ozil from Pierre had Arteta played ESR earlier in the season,
Partey making a difference, moving the ball forward quickly
Partey the icing for ESR.
That pass by Cedric!
We are killing them. Should score #3 soon.
Cedric a lot better than Bellerin
Take that Bruce you cunt !!!!
Ohhhhhh that could have been 3… so close.
Oh well slowdown time
Almost
that’s just protecting him good call I guess
I don’t like this sub. Game is not over. Yes, you have to protect Partey, but he’s already been eased in. Sub him off in the 80th minute. Not 67th…
Good move … saving Partey
We need to get some goal difference now. They are down and out.
Have to say partey was excellent. Worth protecting him ahead of a difficult run of fixtures.
Cedric really up for it today, linking with Saka and ESR much better than Bell
Partey .. was awesome… Need him to stay healthy..
This Newcastle team are there to be destroyed.
Calm down
Only castle
Goodness me, Partey is such a smooth operator in the middle of the park! Does everything well and makes it look easy. We really missed a proper central midfielder
Cedric has been really good. His ceiling is higher than Bellerin. Just needs a run in the team.
Great hour from Partey. Some real glimpses of what he offers. Loves a disguised inside pass….exciting for the future
Partey is a cut above the rest…cedric better than Bellerin
I would protect Tierney too. Play bellerin and Move Cedric to LB.
Another player worthy of commending for steadily improving is Holding.
We need another mobile skillful midfielder alongside Partey.
Team is so rigid outside of ESR and Saka.
I really hope we make a move for Anguissa.
ESR very tired .. time for change
KAZ
It would unlock this team if we had an Anguissa, Partey and ESR midfield. Our forwards aren’t shit. There is just not enough from midfield.
Tired pass
he’s human after all lol
Who is the throw coach, because Cedric Bellerin understudy is at iy (foul throw) as well.
Foul throw. Number 6 for our right backs.
Cedric foul throw. He’s been lucky to get away with a few of those tonight.
Foul throws! What the fuck is wrong with these lazy cunts!
We need another mobile skillful midfielder alongside Partey.
Agree Partey looks best playing from deep so we need a high energy box to box player along side him
Right martinelli on Come on Mikel.
Need one more goal .. come on
I think this is a goal!!!
Good job Cedric
Looks out but great play. Lovely cross.
Hopefully now that Auba’s confidence is back we can easily shoot up the table
Cedric does the basics better than Hector.
3 /0 Auba yees!
oof ahahha I’ll take that
Sweet!!!! hahaaha Nice… Tap in goal.. Auba needs all he can get.. Get him rolling.
Now we run up the score.
Cedric is actually better than Bellerin. Like by miles.
Auba’s second!!! With a ball out of play…. but who cares!!!!
He’s hoping Willian finds his form as well.
Can’t help himself but play this clown Willian
Phew it is in. Auba is going to be back now.
Cedric looks so much better Bellerin..faster, more balanced and better at crossing
Cedric showing Hector how to play tonight. Great performance.
Habesha
Summer of Buendia, Anguissa and a winger and we’ve done amazing.
My God. How close was that to being off the pitch?? Like 1mm! Lol.
Auba was playing on painkillers I heard. His best game in a long time.
Why Willian? Why not Martinelli
Unreal play from Cedric from that cushioned header three great. passes then run and cross. Lucky re VAR call though
Willian also wants a piece of the cake.
El neny doing well
Martinelli behind Willian by the look of it. Who would have guessed? Arteta knows best.
Willian to gain confidence against shitty opposition.
Foxy
Yup, it’s why I say Anguissa, Bissouma is a very good worker, but his offensive capabilities are very limited. Anguissa can dribble, glide, protect and move. His passing is a bit erratic but not terrible.
Nice ,game ESR!!!! Standing ovation.
Yeaaaahhhhyyyyy!!!!
Gabby is back. I would love to see him score to bury this game!!!
Think Luiz was a decent buy and thought cedric was as well.. Just need Willian to pick his game up.. He may still
So Willian is in the hole. Not doing much but that is his role anyway.
1 goal conceded in 6 games. This Holding and Luiz/Mari combo been working pretty decent.
Kaz
I think anguissa is the best you can get that looks like moussa dembele. And he was so great for Tottenham that they declined badly after that. Anguissa is a ball carrier and it would help massively in our attacking phase. And he would be affordable too when Fulham go down.
I don’t mind Willian coming on. The game is won and we really need Martinelli in the upcoming fixtures.
Newcastle are frustrated. If Martinelli comes on and starts running rings round them they’re just going to kick him down. Why risk him?
Oh well. He’s on now anyway.
Mid
Standing ovation with you! ESR is such a good player… It took 2 injuries for MA to see this…. but better later than never!
Let’s make this
G,
Agree about Luiz and Cedric. Cedric would have saved us 20m on his arrival if Arteta wasn’t as daft to decline the Wolves offer for AMN. Luiz was an upgrade to Mustafi and Sokratis. He’s done well for us, fans just decided to paint him as a Chelsea infiltrator.
Omg that elbow to the face? Surely something will be done about it?
G
I’m with you.
A lot of people slated Cedric, but he’s a back up RB who does his basics.
Mari hasn’t even played for months and people declared him unfit for purpose.
Willian however has been… I don’t know. Bad. He’s had some good moments but totally out of sync with everyone around him when he does.
I thought he was a great signing but now…. I think he has to be stopped being played on the wings for a start but he hasn’t helped himself.
Not even yellow. How typical.
ROFL Martinelli
Hab
Exactly, my thinking too! Glad I’m not the only one to notice his seriously good skillset.
Him and Buendia would be perfect signings for our needs.
