DAVID LUIZ OUT – ARTETA & EDU PASS FIRST ‘RUTHLESS’ TEST

by .

Happy Friday to you ALL.

David Luiz is out at Arsenal.

A good leader at times.

An inspiration to a generation of Arsenal kids who saw him as a mentor and a legend.

The absolute correct decision for Arsenal FC as we head into a big summer rebuild.

I don’t want to bag on the player, but the reality is for all his big game skill, he was mistake-prone, unfocused, and problematic if he wasn’t getting exactly what he wanted.

Moving him on is a big move for Edu and Arteta. It’s the first break on the grip that Kia has had on the two of them. It opens up a space for someone like Saliba. It allows us to start addressing the ‘unforced error’ table he’s had a massive had in over the past two years.

This move was also correct from an injury perspective. Arsenal lost Luiz at the most important part of the season, we got him back, then lost him right after. Big players need to be fit. Luiz is on the back 9 of his career, he’s not getting fitter or faster.

I am very, very happy. This sets the tone for the summer providing we don’t walk right back into another hellish deal for some other older player looking for a retirement deal.

There are lots of rumours bubbling around. I think we’ll move on Bertrand as cover for Tierney, we’ll sign a right-back, we’ll look at a good central midfielder or two, and I suspect we’ll find competition for ESR for that #10 spot.

We need to move on the players that have baggage with Arsenal.

We need to age down the squad.

We need to find players with big personalities that want to grow with one of the most exciting young crops of players in Europe.

This summer could be exciting, we just have to trust our novice leadership team actually learned the lessons of the last 18 months.

Big, big if… but this is a great start.

In other news, how awesome is the new Arsenal kit? Literally the best part of the season is the new shirt.

Right, a quick one today, see you in the comments.

”Chelsea will lose this and the champions league and Tuchel will last 3 months next season. And I’m telling you for £5″

I’ll take Sid’s offer, he gives them for free

Kroenkephobe

Hope the Filberts dig in and we see some teary rent boys at the end. That’ll make my afternoon.

Kroenkephobe

You are merely voicing out the impression created in your mind of those leaders by the BBC, Guardian, CNN and New York Times.

andy1886

My choice would be Leicester to win the FAC and Chelsea the CL. Not that I like Chelsea but I can’t stand City and their blood money owners.

Foxy

Dumb by Chelsea giving Tielmans room and time to shoot on his lethal right foot

Kroenkephobe

Chelsea’s kit is a fucking horrorshow. Adidas strips always been more pleasing on the eye than Nike ones.

Tom
“v\\Tuchel needs to move Jorginho to LB to save this game for Chelsea, surely.”

No, he needs to make his number 9 a secret agent and have them cross lots of balls to that position. That should confuse the opposition enough to panic them into making a horrible back pass.

WengerEagle

Juve in deep shit here, Inter just equalised with 5 mins left and they are already down to 10 men.

Means that Napoli only have to win one of their last 2 matches and no CL Football for Juve or Ronaldo next season.

andy1886

TR7, I would imagine Kroenkephobe simply had to listen as their words from their own mouths condemned them, no need for any ‘spin’. Love the idea that most of the media are lefties though, so patently untrue that it’s hilarious.

WengerEagle

Haha, just as I write that they get a penalty.

No Ronaldo on the pitch to take it.

Foxy

Ha ha no wonder they are desperate for the ESL

andy1886

Wouldn’t surprise me to see Brendan at the Spuds if he wins the FAC. Easier to leave Leicester having won a trophy.

Dissenter

See how a proper manager reacts to needing to score
He’s not subbing in a sterile midfielder when he’s chasing a game.

andy1886

Shame Chelsea can’t bring Willian on…looool.

In the last few weeks of March, daily no of cases in India had dropped to merely 10K or about. The second wave turnout to be much more virulent and it spread real fast catching most of the people and health officials by surprise. Within a few weeks the reported no cases jumped from 10K to 400K, absolutely unprecedented jump.

Kroenkephobe

TR7

Fucking bollocks. That’s not even close to being a valid argument. Do you seriously believe that those three did not have a massive detrimental effect on the management of the pandemic in their countries? What fucking world do you swivel eyed loons live in? You choose to ignore all those experts that have made a clear causal link. Pull your head out of your arse and stop lying.

Samesong

Andy you’re crazy Chelsea to win another CL and be they will be the biggest team in London. That can’t happen and never should. Both owners are not squeaky clean btw. But id rather City win. Chelsea fans will not stop going on about their win.a

WengerEagle

Juve somehow managed to shithouse their way to 3 points, you just know that Napoli will choke it now tomorrow.

Dissenter

Brenda has lost his mind

Wes Morgan?

He will probably give away a penalty

Why not wait for the last minute of added time to bring him on?

andy1886

Samesong, on the other hand the chavs already have a CL title, the fewer English clubs that win one before AFC the better for me. We’d still be way ahead of them on the trophy count anyway.

Karsa

Not sure Wes Morgan is the way to go if the game goes to extra time.

Leftside

Hope Leicester can hold on here

andy1886

Kasa, was thinking that, looks very unfit.

WengerEagle

Vardy looks a step or two slower, was bound to happen eventually given his age.

Samesong

We’d still be way ahead of them on the trophy count anyway

I know so many arrogant Chelsea fans and don’t know any city fans so I don’t mind City winning it.

Is that Peter Schmeichel in goal 😳

Marc

That could be a match winning save

WengerEagle

Schmeichel is a fucking brilliant keeper, almost as good as his old lad was.

Dissenter

andy
If Chelsea win another CL, then undoubtedly they can be considered as the “pride of London” by many neutrals
Makes me sick to even type it but it’s true.

Two stars on that jersey?

Sheesh

Leftside

What a save

WengerEagle

Fucking Morgan, shit cunt.

Marc

Who said bringing Morgan on was a mistake?

Leftside

Oh for fuck sake

andy1886

Chelsea c*nts

WengerEagle

Ooooh that’s a tight one, get the ruler out!

Leftside

Anyone could see Morgan coming on so early wasn’t a great idea

WengerEagle

LMAO

Marc

Wow VAR disallows the goal

Dissenter

Wes Morgan!!!!

Brenda has lost his marbles?

VAR

andy1886

Looks offside

Elmo

Well done, VAR. Put the Chavs in their place!

raptora

Thiago Silva with a David Luiz pass.

It’s why these guys are absolutely priceless.

I saw VAR didn’t give it.

Leftside

Oh wow, disallowed

Marc

I can see the Chelsea fans kicking off after that!

andy1886

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WengerEagle

Hilarious.

Media have been wanking themselves silly over Chelsea and Tuchel of late, this is beautiful.

Dissenter

VAR takes away all the iconic moments of football

andy1886

How was that at not at least a booking for James?

Leftside

Tuchel dressing like that a German Pulis for the final deserves all this

Marc

WE

They’ve been shit today, couldn’t do anything against us in the week and we were really poor if they don’t sort it they’ll miss out on top 4 and get spanked by City.

andy1886

Hope to see Giroud gurning again after a defeat.

Karsa

I want Leicester to win but that goal should have stood. VAR taking the thrills out of football.

WengerEagle

I would be raging if that happened to us to be fair.

andy1886

Morgan looks like someone who’s won a competition to play for his team.

Marc

andy

He looks like he’s eaten Frank Lampard

Dissenter

Might be comedy gold if Leicester beat Chelsea agaIn on Tuesday.

andy1886

Come on Leicester!!

WengerEagle

Marc

Pretty incredible how their season could fall apart in the space of a couple of weeks.

Reminds me of us back in the Wengerball days.

I actually fancy Liverpool to pip them to 4th in the league so they’ll need to win the CL.

Majesticgooner

A northern base team always gets the decision.

raptora

Eat shit chavs LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

andy1886

“He looks like he’s eaten Frank Lampard”

Fat Frank eaten by even fatter Wes! Lol.

Leftside

Two final cup finals lost in consecutive years, love it. Eff Chelsea.

andy1886

Fuck Yeah!!

Samesong

No doubt that will dent their egos.

WengerEagle

Leftside

3 FA Cup Finals lost in their last 4, two of them to us of course.

Lovely to see.

raptora

I don’t like this Tuchel dude anyways. Looks like a douche.

Dissenter

Leicester deserve it just for the terrific way they have been run in the last decade

Marc

WE

If they lose on Tuesday I think they’ll miss out on top 4 and then go on to lose the CL final.

What they need is a manager with sauce.

Mr Serge

So happy for Leicester Chelsea spursy in cup finals lol

TR7

‘Bottler’ Brendan win the FA Cup.

CC : Champagne Charlie

Samesong

Did anyone see that Chelsea fan with the nervous squint that was comedy gold.

Tom

If Chelsea crumble in the league and lose the CL final Pedro will give the credit to Arteta for the masterclass that started the Chelsea slide.

WengerEagle

Happy for Bodgers in all seriousness.

Has done an incredible job rebuilding his rep at Leicester, an even better job overall than Ranieri managed although Ranieri of course led them to their best ever season by a mile.

Leftside

WE

Ah yeah your right! Even better!

I can’t take them winning another CL so hoping they lose to City too.

Samesong

I said before the game Leceister will win.

Dissenter

The Leicester fans truly love their owners
You don’t need soy latte drinking marketing people tweeting to boost support for the Kroenkes like Arsenal dies.

There’s an organic and genuine love/respect from their fan base for the owners.

Majesticgooner

And to think we could have got tielemans after he left anderlecht and even Monaco. We saw first hand when we played them in the champions league.

Tom

Great goal to win it from Tielemans but Schmeichel equally the hero.

Samesong

Brendan must of been watching the Arsenal v Chelsea game. let Chelsea have the ball and counter attacked.

WengerEagle

Hope you threw a few quid on it Samesong.

TR7

If Leicester beat Chelsea again and City beat them in CL, the media would have to do a 180 degree on Tuchel. Not that I don’t rate Tuchel but the media has been over hyping a bit.

WengerEagle

Decision to leave out Maddison was justified.

raptora

Tielemans is a proper footballer btw.

Batistuta

Lol they’ll bottle their end of season wont they? Come on City, save football

raptora

Samesong,
Leicester been playing like that for years lol

andy1886

Leicester had to do it this time, replacing Vardy is going to be next to impossible, they can’t keep making so many great signings. Well deserved though.

Batistuta

Juventus save their bacon over here too. Up to Milan to not drop any stupid points tomorrow

WengerEagle

Marc

Think we can interest them in a swap?

Tuchel is losing it a bit at the crown, before they know it he too will be a bald fraud.

Samesong

Hope you threw a few quid on it Samesong

Not a gambler bro just had the feeling.

Samesong

Nice to see a club with an owner who cares and a manager not on a work experience scheme.

Samesong is right

Im telling you for free!

Dissenter

It would have been ant-football for that Tielesmann goal to be disallowed because of a knee-to-hand incident that moved the ball away from the Chelsea goal 4 o yards away from goal.

That goal surely deserved to win a cup final.

Batistuta

Atlanta have qualified for their 3rd consecutive champions league scoring more than 100 goals in the last two and that’s after losing Papu Gomez in Sevilla. Gasperini is a miracle worker

TR7

Kroenkephobe

India is the second most and America the third most highly populated country in the world and that’s why they suffered the most. The most populated country China is obviously the perpetrator and source of Covid, so obviously they were not going to be affected. I don’t need to hear to ‘experts’ to understand simple mathematical deduction. That you choose to pin it on Trump and Modi only shows your political bias.

WengerEagle

Bati

Napoli are the ones who will choke it, Fiorentina will get a result.

Can see it already, Vlahovic equaliser at the death after Napoli have had 30 efforts on goal.

All you have to do is beat Cagliari at home tomorrow, easy enough game with them pretty much already safe from relegation.

Tom

Tuchel admitted he got his selection wrong against Arsenal, and I think he got it wrong today again.
That’s the problem with these saucy types, they tend to overthink it at times.

Dissenter

*It would have been anti-football for that Tielesmann goal to be disallowed because of a knee-to-hand incident that moved the ball away from the Chelsea goal 40 yards away from goal.

Samesong

Roman already thinking to himself have I hired a fraud. Losing the CL wil be a 2nd strike. 3rd strike will be losing to Arsenal again twice next season.

Batistuta

Happy for Brendan Rogers too, lol at all those cries of him being a bottler too.

Leicester are such a properly run club by the way
