The big one is tomorrow. Arteta rolled the entire season on Europa League. He has to deliver.
My big fear?
Galaxy brain.
There are so many temptations and potential traps that could down us.
Do you bring David ‘BIG GAME’ Luiz back in the mixer?
Does Auba start?
Does he risk Tierney or Lacazette despite them having no game time?
Internet people are saying we should roll all the dice. For me, that’s dim thinking. Nothing wrecks an Arsenal plan worse than an early smack in the face. Losing players that are important to the system isn’t good for the system. Also, losing players for the final would also be disastrous.
I’d prefer to lessen the risk by playing fit players who want to perform.
The biggest galaxy brain worry is rolling out a Villareal tactical plan built for Manchester City level players. We’re not there yet. 20-year-olds in the false 9 role is not going to work tomorrow. We need to have a simple plan every single player can follow. That means the right players in the right positions. We have enough fitness to deliver on that vision.
Auba is fit, he wants to lead, he’ll have horrendous memories of his miss last year, that desire to prove the world wrong will be key. That feels like a huge boost.
Martinelli was on fire at the weekend, he’s in form, he should land a starting role.
Odegaard created 5 chances against Newcastle, if you’re playing Auba, you need him on the pitch.
Then it’s tough because you have Lacazette, Saka, and Pepe pushing for starts.
We need to win 1-0. Simple as that. Then we’re through. I would prefer destruction. I’m not sure we’ll get that, but we certainly did away for Slavia Prague.
If we win, Arteta has made a second final in two of the toughest ever seasons. That’s good work. He’ll still need to win the final, but it certainly takes the edge off the league season.
I don’t even want to contemplate a loss.
Whatever the result, there’s still a lot of introspection about this season to be had. It’s not been good enough. A trophy won’t change that.
… but, it’ll go a long way. It’s the memory zapper in MIB. We all need a memory zapper for this season.
Fingers crossed Arteta has something special lined up.
No Europe so the squad is going to have to be seriously trimmed
The abuse we got from Pedro and some posters for calling out how ineffective Arteta was.
All the way back from the Liverpool game at the start of the season.
Dissenters comment about a flamethrower isn’t inaccurate.
At least it did not prolong the agony of losing in the final, canât see this team beating United. We may have received a proper honking. He should have played the team that played Newcastle but arteta sets up his teams like he used to play, no urgency , sideways, no intensity, I never once saw arteta in his whole career burst his gut to get in the penalty box to score, never drove past players and he never won much in his career, he is not a born winner and it shows
CT, as have I but on that showing where you shouldnât have to get your players going, we were flat as hell! Iâm all in Arteta out!
“Atmosphere will be toxic once the fans return to the stadium.”
Why should we wait until the fans come back and have to tell him to fuck off.
The club have got to act.
FUCK YOU AFTV FOR SENDING WENGER AWAY. fUCK YOU ROBBIE, FUCK YOU TROOPZ, FUCK YOU SONY, FUCK YOU DT, FUCK YOU ARTETA, FUCK YOU LEE, FUCK YOU TURKISH, FUCK THE DEAD……AND IF YOU ON THEIR CORNER, FUCK YOU TOO……PEDRO FUCK YOU TOO, FUCK YOU GAMBON, ALL YA MATHAFAKAS FUCK YOU…..ARTETA FUCK YOU…..UNAI EMERY FUCK YOU…..
As I keep saying he can’t read players. Has no notion what the best team is. Has no notion as to how to set his team up. I never saw such s slow and disinterested display. You get out of football what you put into it. We deserved nothing. It’s s long long way back from here as we are dysfunctional from the top down. Just ask yourself how many of those players tonight wearing an Arsenal shirt are on 100,000 a week. That’s fruad that is if you keep picking up those kind of wages. They are so lucky… Read more »
No one fucking cares at this club, so nothing will change.
Letâs not let this guy fuck this young crop of players.
Let saliba have a decent manager to come back to . Martinelli saka esr there is a base there .
This guy is fucking the entire thing
Legit this making me depressed.
Goodness me it was the harder thing to get wrong than get right.
No offence CT but how could you staunchly back Tets before tonight?
We’ve been smashing all of the wrong records all season. He is a clown that never deserved a shot in the hot-seat.
When Arteta was trying his damn best to destroy Saliba’s career, who was there to defend him sticking a generational talent into the U-23s?
Where are the Arteta defenders?
I write very infrequently on here but what I say is consistent. Arteta was appointed because he could be trusted not to question those running the club. He isnât good enough. He will eventually get fired. The trouble is that the people finding his replacement will still want someone who wonât question them. This misery will therefore go on and on. I just hope Pedro is wrong about the Kroenkes not wanting to sell; not that I trust this new prospective buyer either. If weâre going to be financially doped by a new buyer, we need to avoid being saddled… Read more »
He can’t even make up his mind who the best Right back is
It’s chop and change…chop and change
Tinker man rookie manager
Don’t forget Mavropanos also. Also disgracefully treated.
Which manager would be willing to be part of this shit show ?? We might be a mid table team for years to come..
Arteta should lose his job over that. No question. Football is about owning moments. He fucked it. Didn’t even put up a fight. The worst performance of the season given the context.
Pedro on twitter
And fuck you David Kay for being a silly Wengerite and not realising the start of where this sippery slope came from.
Appalling performance out gunned by Emery average team …times up Arteta
Dissenter 22.05
Itâs an opinion?
I’ve got nothing against Pedro.
But he sold us Arteta. He’s been worshipping him for years.
He made us believe in him.
For what????
Con artist? Fraud? Zero capability?
Pedro is responsible as an influencer for at least a little bit of Arteta’s signing.
If Pedro wanted to fire a spark to fire Arteta like he was doing for MANY MONTHS for Emery, maybe fans would have went to boycott Arteta along with the Kroenkes.
Pedro instead, kept lying to us, kept silencing us, defending Arteta like his life depended on it.
Ozil will play Champions League next season, Arsenal will be in the Playground league, oh the irony and what a brilliant move to get out of the fucking mess called the AFC. Good ebening RULES.
Fuck off bt advertising arsenal v West Brom on the weekend ? Whatâs the fucking point itâs essentially a friendly for us now . Utter pointless game to watch
—————————–
…….but we will!
No Europe could mean a smaller squad for us. This summer will be an interesting one:
Worst team I have seen since 1984
“I just hope Pedro is wrong about the Kroenkes not wanting to sell”
Pedro has zero inside knowledge, you are every bit as informed as he is.
Difference this time is ex players are practically on the same song to critique arteta one way or other, from not playing Martinelli, to tactics and starting 11
Arteta truly should be ashamed and resign during the press con if he has a shred dof dignity left.
Never a qualified coach for a club like Arteta 18 months ago or now.
Make no mistake we need to sell more than half thia squad.
Elneny, mar, xhaka, bellerin etc all need to go
How many records has Arteta broken in all seriousness?
Worst start to a season in half a century, lowest points tally in Christ knows how long decades I guess, lowest goals for in decades, midtable finish imminent, fail to qualify for any type of Euro competition in 25 years.
Am I missing anything?
Keown calling for the Con Artist cunt head.
Come on Edu get this Con man out of our club.
The first leg was shit.
In the second leg you have to make a mark and state your intentions early.
We did absolutely fuck all.
Appalling.
Raporta why is this Pedro’s fault lol ? It’s the board’s fault
Lay off Pedro people – like a lot of us he wanted Lego head to work – and its his blog,
I have no doubt the post will not be kind to the club.
We were really fucking shit tonight given what we needed to do and thats the point Ole (an equally inexperienced manager) has shown what you can do with a coercive plan.
Funniest thing?…..
Theyâre going to give this prick 100m + to spend in the summer!! I wouldnât trust him buying a loaf of bread!!
Absolute charlatan Arteta, stealing a living. Be a man and resign you useless tit.
Arteta only behind Hodgson in odds to be next premier league manager to get sacked
James Wood
You damn right bet that it’s an opinion
Pedro deserves every bit of the banter that comes his way.
He crossed the line with his Arteta love and turned everything into a clownish campaign.
If a manager at City/ManU/City/Pool/Madrid/Barca/Bayern/ Inter/ Juve/ psg/Dortmund puts in that performance in a semi final. He is sacked the next morning. Lampars, Chelsea’s biggest legend in their history got sacked for much less. Any manager who goes through the kind of run that Arteta went through in October, November, December. He gets sacked. We gave Arteta another chance, he flipped back to his negative tactics. We need such ruthlessness, but I doubt if the Kroenkes even watched tha game. Does Edu even have the balls to speak to the Kroenkes about a managerial change? Probably not. Conclusion – We… Read more »
Ole had actual management experience before Man Utd hired him…
How can you give a club as big as this to a complete novice to use to learn his job
Unbelievable stupidity
We played most of the ball in our own half. Go check the heat maps
I usually get depressed for the whole weekend after a defeat but this is going to leave me depressed till the start of next season.
Iâm so sick right now, I donât wanna watch football ever again.
If we had proper owners he’d be sacked in the morning. That was complete shit, we played for over an hour like the game was a dead rubber.
Season over…….thank fuck.
Arteta Out!!
WE,
Teams we never lost at home for 100 years beaten us those seasons, most losses in single season for donkey years. He single handed destroyed arsenal history
Raptora
“But he sold us Arteta. Heâs been worshipping him for years.”
lol you didn’t have to go along with it. It was just his opinion or rather should we say hope against hope.
I never fell for any of it from the beginning even when he won the FA Cup.
The club needs to get to work on hiring a new manager, get him in for the summer so he has a transfer window and a preseason.
WengerEagleMay 6, 2021 22:10:29
How many records has Arteta broken in all seriousness?
More than from all previous managers added together
Relax, the players want Kroenke out as well, even though he over pays a few of them, this performance proves it
WE
thats just the tip of the iceberg. The generational one has broken many other 100yr old records. Like losing to so and so team at home for the first time in 60 years, etc etc.
Tonight lived up to Matt from the podcast’s belief that you can always tell in the first 5 minutes what type of an Arsenal performance it’s going to be. Slow, no urgency, passive, and that played out for the rest of the match.
If he doesn’t have the dignity to step down tonight, the club need to very publicly sack him.
2 years ago we played Chelsea in a Europa league final in Baku. Today they’re off to the Champions league finals in Istanbul while we’re still stuck in Europa league. That’s the difference between a well run club and an owner who only cares about profit.
Arteta Speaks english that makes him the better coach according to Pedro!
It all started going wrong for Arteta when he binned Ozil.
A poor poor decision to ostracise a player who brought success to the club and was badly missed tonight as the team lacked intelligence, creativity , composure and patience.
Arteta will get what he deserves for showing such a lack of respect .
*Breaking News* Arteta given a football management lesson by a coach with 10 times as many trophies. Nothing to see here move along. 1 shot on target. Wow.
Glad to see all the Arteta supporters here finally saw the light, sadly is too late. I feel happy for Emery (not his fan) but he was awfully mistreated while he was at Arsenal, he end 5th just 1 pont behind 4th and reached Europa Final which lost against CHELSEA (NOW CL finalist) , then Raul didnt sign the players ery asked for, after that team. performances drop, and he was sacked with the team in 8th but 5 points from. 4th Arteta finish 8th was eliminates by Olympiacos at home in the last 16 of EL. Now is 9th… Read more »
One shot on target at home in a European semifinal that Arsenal need to win 1-0.
Arteta goes with a false 9 in the first leg (????????), then takes Aubameyang off with ten minutes to go in the second leg when we need a goal (?????????????).
Arteta gets knocked out of Europe by Emery with a team whose wage bill is six times that of Emery’s team.
Arteta is a TERRIBLE manager — and Pedro got it completely wrong and should admit it.
Jim
Zero chance that he steps down.
We’ll have to drag him out.
David Smith
The players are on the hook for a further 10% pay cut if the conditions agreed by all but Ozil last year still hold.
They may well want the owners out, but they had every incentive to show desire tonight.
Please oh please don’t waste a summer transfer window with this charlatan calling the shots.
A complete and utter fucking waste of time.
Get him out before next season starts.
You couldn’t wait to weave Ozil into this đđđđ¤Łđ¤Ł
Not sure why people are attacking Pedro, he didnât appoint Arteta
Itâs not like people who post regularly on this blog havenât made ridiculous predictions and got plenty of things wrong themselves, myself included
Iâm still not convinced that sacking Arteta will change our fortunes to any significant degree, but such is the nature of football management, Arteta will do well to survive this
Here we go with the Ozil and Emery comments.
Lee Dixon saying that the VR centre backs are smoking cigars and looking fresh as daisies – because they had such an easy game tonight, never put under pressure. Also deploring the genius’ novel tactic – a one man midfield with a player who looks like he didn’t sleep last night, giving the ball away and trundling around like a blind man. This is a guy we paid ÂŁ40m for and ÂŁ250k a week. What an easy touch we are – how much do you want? Oh fine,, there you go, take some more. From the false 9 to the… Read more »
I was on the arteta in boat mainly as he was a shiny fucking man who said the rigtt he things at the start. Breath of fresh air but at no point have we looked a cohesive attacking force. We lucked out on fa cup fine, happy. Lost it in the summer. Manager title went to his head and blew smoke up his arse that wasnât warranted. We have e him a safety blanket in William to kill our record singing . We let him kill an elite young cb over what?? To make rob holidng look good to make… Read more »
The first hire for next season. Director of Football. Please.
Compare that to the Man City and Chelsea showings. Utterly depressing. Were a million miles away.
Fuck off Pierre đđđ
Pierre, off fishing again?
I would have Rose, bielsa Brendan or even potter
Mr Serge: “Raptora why is this Pedroâs fault lol ? Itâs the boardâs fault” Pedro is our representative as a media person/ blogger. He is our voice. But Pedro decided to show the middle finger to the club and not act in the club’s best interest, which was not this novice and defending him for many, many months when it was clear how hopeless this joker Arteta is. People were getting banned for daring to speak against the chosen one, against generational, against mr sauce. Now it’s clear he has miserably failed, there is no defending him, and all the… Read more »
@WE –
“Zero chance that he steps down. Weâll have to drag him out.”
I think he knows that this will be his last gig as a manager, he is a Spanish Garry Neville.
Mikel looks like he has been crying
Dissenter
I might be a bit longer in the tooth than you.
I rarely get so wound up.
The decline has started from the whole running of the club
From the top down.
Arteta was not my selection but you can hardly go on one
because Pedro had an opinion.
Ok he defended him but grow some shoulders.
Should ARTETA BE MOVED ON YES.
Where is AFC FOREVER NOW!
Telling us we not real fans!
His head is most probably still in Lego man’s Arseteta
Raporta if that’s the case get them to choose a proper coach please
Pedro is arteta out in twitter lol
“It all started going wrong for Arteta when he binned Ozil.”
Either this is the longest troll ever, or there is seriously something wrong with an adult obsessed with a footballer.
Who told Arteta we had two away goals and a nil all draw would see us through ? ?
Has Kroenke sacked the clown yet?
Jim
I don’t think so myself, don’t see the same amount of self-awareness.
At least Neville recognised that he was a hopeless manager even if he never has publicly admitted it.
Weagle
“Worst start to a season in half a century, lowest points tally in Christ knows how long decades I guess, lowest goals for in decades, midtable finish imminent, fail to qualify for any type of Euro competition in 25 years.”
This is what happens when a manager is allowed to make appalling decisions like the treatment of our most creative and influential player, without being questioned…
Still not his fault, the con artist thinks that Arsenal deserved to win and is blaming the injuries.
Completely deluded…
Pedro was so smug lol lol.
He even had a ‘after Christmas’ table
Shame on you
Raptora does Pedro have that much influence on your life? If so read another blog and get over it.
We have failed to score in 10 mafches at the Emirates this season. We haven’t a single game in our last 6 home matches. This is supposed to be the crunch time of the season. Arteta is clearly breaking many records on the go. We should’ve sacked Emery after he crashed our season ending. We didn’t. It turned sour soon after the season began. Then we finally made the right choice. We are at a very similar moment with Arteta. Its just that Emery still had a chance to finish 4th till the last day of the season. If we… Read more »
Not going to indulge you on your Ozil fetish tonight…
Do you think we were overrun in midfield.
Arteta : I donât think so.
For that alone SACK
Yup I’ve been banging that Potter drum for months. At the very least I expect the football to be watchable and an identity set. Potter deserves a chance at a big club.
Bielsa will be nice too but he has committed to Leeds and he’s one of those weirdos who’d stick to his words.
Haha. Arteta “we created enough chances over both legs to have won the tie” Did he get a bang on the head during the match that i missed. Sheesh.
Arteta has no shame, the arrogant bastard should resign tonight but he wonât do it.
Heâs blaming the injury to Xhaka and Auba not being fully fit lol.
This Con artist pretending heâs disappointed.
ARTETA OUT.
@WE –
“donât see the same amount of self-awareness.”
Yeah good point, way too arrogant.
Will destroy Arsenal for as long as he can to benefit himself.
Fuck off Arteta
Fucking cautious clown
Owned by Emery.
Twat.
What the fuck was that????
What sort of a pace was that???
Chance to get to a fucking final and we play like that.
Fucking shocking.
Was so excited when he was appointed. Done a 360.
He needs to go.
Rich,
Predictions are one thing, but seeing Arteta fuck up miserably week in week out and decide to dug your face in the sand and still sing his song is a delusion of Pierre’s Ozil epopee proportion.
There is no defending that.
Except that you were in Arteta camp as well. Oh well.
What a complete cunt.
Edu out, Mike out.
Vinai do the right thing….
Can them both… lets start next season now…
get in a experience coach, that will attract new players. have KSE come out in public and open their wallets… we need new blood…. and a big spend this summer. This team does not have it… at least half can get sold no problem.
This misery has to end.
If KSE cannot do this, then sell to EK please God
Lots of disappointment and anger on here tonight because of a poor performance. This may have knocked us back a couple or more years in our quest to get back to the top.
No Europe will have repercussions with players coming in and out and will make the gap even wider between ourselves and the top teams.
Let’s hope in the cold light of day the current owner realises that this will be very bad for business and acts accordingly
Freddie telling it like it is.
First time in the club’s history where we failed to score in 10 games at home.
As bad as Emery was Arteta can’t lace his boots
The painful part of these 18 months is Pedro telling us everyday that we have improved
Kroenke should just sell off and get out
According to the Manager we were very unlucky…deserved to go through over the two legs and weren’t overrun in the midfield…
Unfortunately he hasn’t resigned
P45 ……. no ifs or buts
So… when can we expect the apology post from Pedro?!
