Well good morning my darlings and welcome to a footballing FEAST of a weekend.
Arsenal have locked in Martin and Aaron.
Aaron’s name was given to him because his grandad was called Ron and in Birmingham, people say ‘arrr Ron’ when they mention people… so his name is basically a family pun and I’m out here crying like a child.
Anyway, strong interview from Ramsdale. He’s very likable and he also added some propaganda to the mixer by letting us know he actually won player of the year at Wimbledon as well. 3 players of the season awards, that’s quite something at 23. There seems to be a huge discrepancy between fans that watch him every game and Arsenal analysts that have watched 6 seconds of him. He’s a keeper that seems to be a bit of a fan on the pitch, and the fans like that he engages with them. Last player that did that at Arsenal was Partick Vieira, he used to make the fans sing, I loved that.
I also like that alpha comment from him that he was here to take Leno’s #1 jersey. Love that. Let’s hope he can deliver it.
Another thing I noted. He made a special point to highlight that his distribution is the thing. He basically says he mixes it up, which I think is what Arteta wants, because Leno is very predictable with his passing and he makes a lot of bad decisions.
My guess is the Edu strategy this season is to push Leno out by the end and force him to take a transfer next summer.
I also thought it was noteworthy that Aaron said part of his experience was going through a slump in form. He’s very much self-aware and he seemed to know he is not the finished article.
On a side note, I loved the welcome fans gave him. They well and truly drowned out the attention-seekers. Young players need to feel the love, let’s make sure we’re doing all we can this season.
Martin Odegaard had his second welcome video. Interesting that Madrid wanted him at the start of the summer and told Arsenal where to go, then they opened the door later on. From what I understand, it was an Edu/Arteta gamble to wait on him, as they suspected he might be let go. Buendia was the ‘just get it done move’ we passed and held out for the main target. Risky business, but in fairness to Edu, he got it done like he always seems to. I cannot believe he can BBQ, go on a yacht, and have 6 holidays… whilst getting deals done. His ‘HOW TO MAKE IT AND VACATION’ business book is going to be a best seller.
The player seems excited, extremely grounded, and keen to kick on. There’s no stronger motivator in life than being told you can’t do something by someone at your previous company. I was fired from Ted Baker when I was 16 because they said I couldn’t sell. I moved to First Sport and no one sold sneaker polish like me, I was the best in the game. The sky is the limit with Odegaard, I think we’ve made a sharp signing, and hopefully the 5 months prior will give him a good springboard to adapt.
Arteta said in his presser that there was still more business to be done.
We can register 25 players this season. There’s about 7 that will need to be culled in the coming week or so. I’m not sure there will be many sales, but there will be loans, no one wants the ignominy of being cut from the squad.
Kola, Torreira, Runarsson, one of the centre-backs, Willian, Eddie, Reiss, a loan for Balogun… they all have to be looking to find clubs if they want to stay relevant or get experience.
If we can sell, especially in the right-back position, we’ll target a new signing without doubt. I don’t think we’ll move on any of our strikers, though I do desperately want to believe we’re targetting Arsenal fan Calvert Lewin. Imagine him beasting Tierney crosses all season. It’d be a sight to behold.
However it ends up, this squad is now Arteta’s. The dregs of yesteryear are mostly out the door, we have the specificity to play the way he wants to play, and we have the boys that dropped a second half of the season masterclass.
You have to accept that gelling all those players is going to take some time. The next 2 months will be a bit rough as we integrate and bring players back from injury, the key for Arteta is staying in the chasing pack. If he can massively improve on last season’s first 14 games, we should be in the mixer for top 4 come what May.
It’s on him now. He can talk about the negative people outside the club causing problems, but it’s not true, the problems have been caused by him. There are some correlations to how Frank was in his second season, everything was someone else’s fault, he started to sound paranoid, and his behaviour went from chill to erratic.
Arteta needs to get a grip of the situation, deal with adversity in a positive way, and start showing what he’s about on the pitch.
No more playing around the edges.
No more slow football.
No more listless starts.
No more petulance in the media.
I want the fire we saw in the first 6 months of his tenure. We need to see aggression, hard pressing, and sexy combination football.
The time is now.
Let’s see what he has for tomorrow… and remember, after the game, we’re going on the whistle with a live twitch where you can ask elite questions and comment on my hair.
Right, see you in the comments you sexy beasts x
That video is quite eye opening, how Chelsea planned this game.
Brilliant!
Saka lost in the inside channel as xhaka covered him, allowing him to move forward. Problem was that Saka was moving inside way too much with Pepe. The video shows this.. was done intentionally to pull those 2 wide forwards inside
Xhaka covering KT, allowing Saka to move inside on attack but on defense Saka is still inside, leaving that channel exposed with no cover but Xhaka mostly.
Tuchel is a smart manager… for sure. Mike just sticking with his 4231
Mind numbing really.
Not able to change that much mid game…
still the same isssues
Can anyone really argue with any of the points made in this Guardian analysis of the game?
https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2021/aug/22/arsenal-appear-a-club-lacking-in-every-department-in-capitulation-to-chelsea
So far 4 FBs seem to have regressed under Diet Pep, is it that all are crap or the system is crap?
Choose one, heh, heh
A what dem a try fi do
Great video. Thanks guns. Good education for my son.
That’s a fantastic video Guns.
For whatever reasons, Lokonga was constantly out of position when Chelsea attacked.
Put it on the manager. Zero clues to set up a team
XhakAss. the big donkey on the pitch. the biggest one. he was clearly the worst player on the pitch, and why not: he is Arteta’s man. If there ever had been a voting on worst player on the pitch during the 2013s, 2014s, it would have been Arteta serially.
Who would deny even Guendouzi would have been better than him in that space!???
Kegunner
In which part of the 2 games did you see movement that was okay? Which players? I have not seen any off the ball, defensive or offensive movement that can be called okay
XhakAss the donkey was retained for political reasons. He is Arteta’s informer from the dressing room
In fact, even Maitland Niles as LB could have restricted Reece James
hope to see AMN more this season. A waste of a good player…
It’s not just Arteta though. The footballing similarities ring so true, Steve Round and the coaching staff Arteta has surrounded himself with, Round was a number 2 under Steve Bruce and David Moyes. This needs a massive overhaul, either too much tactical output is being relayed from them to the players as well as Arteta. So many mixed ways of playing or none at all. This is by no means a defence of Arteta. Nothing has changed, 2 years in and the same old problems constantly. I feel he is out of his depth. He was the coach, the club… Read more »
“if they stop making those errors then they’re not Arsenal” Last statement from that article on guardian Arteta keeps breaking the record but the bad ones Arteta hardly start the same backline consecutively,in just 2 games already he has already changed it how will the defenders develop on-field chemistry Anyone that thinks Arteta is the coach that will take us forward needs his brain examine I’m afraid Arsenal might be the highest club Arteta will manage when he leaves,AVB came to Chelsea some years ago and was heralded as the next big thing but we know he has been completely… Read more »
Wow, the doom and gloom is back just like that. I didn’t think we would get a result but I expected at least a decent fight. It’s almost about to be 2 years since Arteta took over. And we look worse than an Emery team with better players. We still don’t know what Arteta is bringing to the table. Klopp showed his style with in 6 months of taking over even though he had nowhere near the quality of players he has at his disposal now. This has the look of the end to Emery’s reign. We need new ideas.… Read more »
And here’s another thing. Did anyone notice that stupid fucking stunt he pulled twice in the first half where the ball went out of play for a throw to Chelsea. He held the ball in his hands and prevented the Chelsea player from getting it back on the pitch. Looked like a petty, idiotic know-nothing dad on the sideline of a under 11 game. If he wanted to see a delay he could have let it just roll away. The guy is a wanker. He’s losing/lost the players’ respect too. Now it sounds counter-intuitive but what would a real man… Read more »
Pretty fair summary Habesha. There seemed to be lots of smaller issues yesterday such as a clueless RB who was suddenly brought in from the cold. But the bigger problem by far was that Arteta’s tactics were totally out-manoeuvred by Tuchel all over the pitch. Good players being made to a look a lot worse than they were.
And then there was Pablo Mari………
I had hoped Arteta would now grow into the job having survived two sacking points already, but after watching the game yesterday and the Brentwood game, I think any remaining arguments for preserving the status quo have gone. We just can’t afford any more learning time. If he hasn’t lost the dressing room yet, then it is only a game or two away.
What annoyed me was the fact that everyone knew we should have played a low block 343. Even after the game started and we conceded the first goal, there were players in the pitch to change it to a 343. We could have gone with Leno Holding Mari Tierney Cedric Xhaka Lokonga Saka Pepe ESR Martinelli And we would have stopped the onslaught from Recce James. We would have our weaker players covered and we would have stood a chance if he saw what we saw. His football is crap. And His in game management is atrocious. There is no… Read more »
Why would anyone take Chambers off, bring Tavares on for 20 minutes only to start Cedric the next game? Next line up I’m guessing will include the likes of AMN and El Neny because you know, continuity is not a thing
Things have changed since Diet Pep has been here,
They have changed for the worse
“”””””””MeeAugust 23, 2021 07:04:48
Why would anyone take Chambers off, bring Tavares on for 20 minutes only to start Cedric the next “”””””””
Because he is generational, he knew Tierney would get injured and Tavares would be needed at LB.
Im telling you for free!
What is the team doing during practice throughout the week?
Every match they come out and we fail to see chemistry in the attacking play, no triangle passes or one-twos.
Right now it’s mostly balls over the top (almost never works), wide passes into crosses (never works) and an attacking player trying to brute force something (also almost never works).
The only thing it looks like the team is practicing is passing around the back and maybe some positional coaching ie. okay when this happens you stand here and he stands there, now lets keep doing this for 5 hours.
From much earlier: Bereft of any competent plan, we got what I expected: an easy win for the Chavs. The harsh realty is we could have lost by 4. I believed that there was a point to be hard fought for, but nothing more. We’re not a cohesive fluid unit that attacks as one and the same defending because that’s what The Chavs have had drilled into them. It was almost robotic at times the way and speed they walked through us where we hd no answers bar some huffing and puffing around their box. We had 3 shots on… Read more »
343 with Xhakalson in midfield? Have you forgotten the 3-0 loss against Villa? Loooool
The only formation that involves Xhakalson is 532
Im telling you for free!
Gunnerman.
There can’t be chemistry when the personnel is chopped and changed with no clear plan. No time to build understanding on the pitch. I’m pretty certain Cedric, Holding, Mari and Tierney have not played more than 5 games together in ever
Sid
Xhakalson is poor either way. But you protect him with a 343. I could name a lot of games when he has looked clueless in a double pivot. He actually plays better in a 3 man Defense.
You will think we have gotten to that point where it becomes obvious to all that Arteta is incapable of anything different from what we have seen seen so far
Anyways wait a little longer and someone will come up some with explanation why we need to still give him time, maybe we really deserve what we get
I can’t even listen to anything football because you just know Arsenal will be trash talked by all
Sad sad day
Hebesha/Sid
Why play him at all? Keep him on the bench because he’ll become a bigger liability this season as he was yesterday. You put people to protect him, you leave spaces open.
Partey should be back next week I read so Partey and Lokonga have Xhaka on the bench parting wisdom to the Hale Enders and Travares as Stan said.
If you play Xhaka with Partey in a match or two Partey will break down again. If you will, Xhaka is hazardous to Party’s body’s well being.
What is this about chaka signing a long term deal??? Something about stans notes in the match program?
I don’t want to say much about the game It was expected. That tells you as much as the result itself. One thing that does need attention is Willian liking Chelsea’s celebrations. As you said Pedro it’s arteta’s squad and someone from his team who flew to Dubai last year and broke the dreaded non-negotiables is now behaving in this way. What will arteta do about that? Also seeing players like Saka and martinelli struggle is quite sad tbh. The lack of confidence is what happens to players when the manager and club drags on them. Martinelli was on top… Read more »
Mee
Some of the passing triangles especially early in the first half were great. Problem is once the team gets into the final half they make wrong decisions. For instance Saka was played a good pass and was goal bound he made too many touches and lost the ball.
Mee
Definitely agree on the chopping and changing of the defensive personnel. It’s even worse in that part of the field because they need to get familiar with their partners during the defensive phase.
But this lack of chemistry exists throughout the whole team. The midfield and offense are equally devoid of familiarity in their play. It’s always so slow and the team just ends up passing backwards.
Where was Tierney when Chealsea atactted ? Reece had ample time with ball and decision..
mind boggling really
Xhaka signed his contract. After the game. We lost. Arsenal released that news…as good news.
Please stop supporting this two bit outfit and support your local non league team.
Arsenal are finished.
Where is that Daniel Elk guy now?
Samir
There was no Daniel Eek. No one who is serious about business does their business publicly. He was trying to raise his profile, not buy our club.
Being at the game and hearing Chelsea fans singing “you’re shit and you know you are” is not a very enjoyable experience. Luaku is like the final piece of the jigsaw for Tuchel , he will bring so much to this Chelsea side.. Their play on the ball is silky smooth and the confidence as they move about the pitch oozes out of them. As for Arsenal and Arteta , the writing is on the wall I’m afraid and he only has himself to blame. It’s all coming home to roost for Arteta now, his poor decisions over the past… Read more »
Holding and Lakonga were our only positives yesterday and will probably be the 2 players who will be benched when partey and white return.
I don’t think anyone realistically thought that the 2021/22 version of Arsenal were going to get much out of yesterday’s game but at the end of the day Chelsea’s players looked top PL players whereas Arsenals looked like a bunch thrown together for a Sunday morning kick about. Ian Wright the issue was down to one of three things but for me it’s two things. Firstly Arteta clearly isn’t able to mix with the big boys but second and crucially there is the ability, or should I say the inability of the players to take on board the complex tactical… Read more »
0-4 at the start of the season.
Relegation battle.
Pierre Tell me Pierre and be totally honest with me here, do you think any of the so called top 6 clubs would have stuck with Arsene Wenger as long as we did? Do you think Liverpool, MU, Chelski, MC, Spuds, would have stood by a man who had clearly past his sell by date. Do you think their fans would have accepted/tolerated fourth best? Do you also think they’d keep forking out huge amounts on a product that was clearly flawed? Arsenal have brought this upon themselves by accepting the status quo for far too long. If Wenger had… Read more »
The one positive which has not been discussed from yesterday’s game was the return of Aubameyang. He may not have scored, but I thought that he looked mobile and reasonably sharp. He looked also far less haggard than what we saw last season. However, the major concern, which was highlighted in the Brentwood game and reinforced yesterday against Chelsea is how fragile and easily bullied is our defence. We conceded two goals, because the left back [Tierney] did not track back and defend and Mari is frankly not good or strong enough to play in LCB position. Whether the defence… Read more »
Terraloon Our problems were predominantly down our left side where Saka, Tierney , Xhaka and Mari were playing.. I’m not sure that Lakonga can be called out for his positional play as generally he was positionally good and also very good on the ball . I haven’t watched that video you talked about so I can only give my opinion from being at the game and it looked to me from early on we had a problem with Mason Mount’s position on the pitch. As soon as he came in from the right flank , Tierney was attracted to him… Read more »
Arteta, Xhaka and Pepe – Arsenal’s Achilles heels
The return of Aubamayang a positive? Seriously? He looked just as laboured and uninterested to me as ever.
Stroller,
It’s like we don’t have a physically strong, good in the air, mobile CB who can organise things and with good passing ability. We do, it’s just that he is on loan at OM.
Remind me why is that? Who made the decision to buy a short, inexperienced, easily bullied CB who can only play in a back 3 to lead a back 4?
We had choices, Arteta and Arsenal just made the wrong choi ces. Time to admit it and to correct that mistake.
The big question is, what will Diet Pep do in the next few weeks that he has Not been able to do in the months he has been around.
Please stop supporting this two bit outfit and support your local non league team. Hackney Fully agree mate. I had a top time at my local club last Friday. 0-0 hard fought draw between two teams of battlers on a carpet of a pitch. Good game. If Hackney Wick ever play Haverfordwest County (unlikely given they’re in different national leagues) come down and I’ll get the first round in. 3 quid a pint. Supporting major teams these days looks like a choice between shopping at waitrose or aldi to all but the most diehard of fans. I’m being tested as… Read more »
It was easy to see how the players heads dropped yesterday after the first Chelsea goal. Aside from a few moments here and there (like Holdings header in the 2nd half) we never really presented a serious threat to Chelsea. This is in part down to how well organised Tuchel has them, but we looked disjointed and impotent in our play. That along with the confidence factor, makes it hard for me to see how things are going to improve in the immediate future. There are mitigating factors, with missing players for various reasons, but a team which is well… Read more »
In the wake of yesterdays result, what hurts the most is how everybody could see it coming. We are 2 years in to this new project and hundreds of millions have been blown and one could argue we are actually worse off
Graham
“Arsenal have brought this upon themselves by accepting the status quo for far too long. If Wenger had gone sooner and I’m talking around 2010, I feel things would be totally different.”
Well, if wenger had left ten years ago , there is a good chance that we would be relegated by now, taking into consideration the demise in our performance on and off the pitch , the poor quality of our football and recruitment and results.
So yes they would be totally different.
Valentin
I assume that you are referring to Saliba.
The fact is that we have to accept that we need to live with the decision not to play him.
Whether it was right decision time will decide. Frankly I doubt that he would have made any
difference yesterday.
Sadly Arteta is a dead man walking. Whatever the long term project current results dictate the direction a club goes in. We are stagnant at best, sinking at worst. Any delay in sacking him will surely be down to the difficulty of finding another manager will to take the shitshow on. Dear old Josh will be in meltdown.
”Let’s be real though, are the club going to axe Arteta after giving him £150 million to spend?”
If we lose the first 5 games of the league and lose to West Brom in League Cup, Arteta will be gone.
It would be interesting to know how many fans would take losing the first 5 league games and against West Brom if it meant Arteta was gone?
I have reached the point where I definitely would.
Josh
Yes I agree that Arteta is now probably a dead man walking. I think that he has until end of
October before decisions are being made.
I come back to what I have posted on many occasions. I think that he is probably a decent coach, but the mistake was to promote him prematurely to position of manager. We should have appointed an experienced Football Director or Manager to work above him.
Now it is probably too late and the damage has been done.
Sorry I meant Bard. I have Josh on the brain.
Very very sad time to be an Arsenal fan , I know its too early but we should blame all of it on Kroenkes . Its under their supervision this shit is happenning. The Owners are really really incompetent and it trickled down and made our club incompetent too . #Kroenkeout
Antonio Conte is available, a real world class manager. Had we given him 130M to spend in summer he would have transformed our team. What a waste !
Tierney only needs to look behind him occasionally.
He runs about headless and people say he is on a par
with Robertson unbelievable?
“ If we lose the first 5 games of the league and lose to West Brom in League Cup, Arteta will be gone.”
That would probably be justified, with KSE however I wouldn’t be so sure.
Besides we will likely pick up points against Norwich and Burnley which will prolong everything. Against WBA, who knows, they seem a team at the top of their form and is at a low ebb. Arteta simply has to produce deep domestic cup runs what with being out of Europe this season.
Arsenal is now in the image of arteta, as a player he was neither a goal scorer or creator, it’s not in his DNA ,so now as a manager he cannot get his team to do either, throughout his career he was a kind of nothing player, a slightly above average nothing player, I can’t recall a single match you can actually remember him doing something special as a player apart from him being sent off for us . We now have a team that passes sideways , no end product, even with only two games gone you can see… Read more »
*us at a low ebb
Waking up on a Monday morning, losing to Chelski the previous day, and getting to know you have run out of coffee.
Difficult to decide what’s worst.
“If we lose the first 5 games of the league and lose to West Brom in League Cup, Arteta will be gone.”
How can you be so sure? We had 14 points from 14 games last season and he was still in a job
Yesterday we could have played another 90mins and still not scored
ES
“I think that he is probably a decent coach”
Satisfactory, reasonable, fair, adequate, acceptable?
Where’s the proof he is any of these?
In any case is that what we want, just a decent coach?
How many times were we in a threatening position only to pass the ball back? We are too static off the ball. Leno, for all his faults had nobody he could distribute the ball to. The system is flawed as we see this on repeat every week
Graham, Emiratestroller can’t possibly give us even one credible example which proves Arteta is a decent coach. He says things just for the sake of it.
Pierre
Lol!!
You do realise that in 2010 the options to change things were different. For Example, Emery and Arteta wouldn’t have been in the mix. Who was I wonder?
Sometimes I think your golfing mindset doesn’t enable you to appreciate what’s going on around you. Just focused on a few things.
Grip, stance, swing etc.⛳️
You know what I mean.
Stevey
Last season was Arteta’s honeymoon season, it’s over now.
Arsenal upper management Raul Vinai et al bought into a fairy tale possibly espoused by listening to Pedro on Le grove. now they are all too embarrassed to admit they were suckered. Imagine Vinai skulking around Arteta`s house in Manchester at night like a ghoul. They thought they were signing a maestro of the game. Fools and their money eh?.
It’s amazing how people are now telling me they were also against Le Tet before the appointment. The most you guys did was sit on the fence. I remember at some point i began to question my own judgment and tried to see if I was wrong since no one seemed to see reasons for any alarm. Y’all were either ‘oh, i think this a great idea,’ or ‘let’s see what happens with this.’ The closest thing I saw to a ‘no’ here was, ‘i’m not sure this is the best we can do.’ I don’t remember anyone sticking his… Read more »
Gentlebris. No need to imagine anything. Only an idiot would reckon getting a complete novice to manage a top tier club would be a swell idea. If LeGrove has archives. You can go back and check them. It was a crap idea then as is keeping him now
The only place where lack of experience like Diet Pep, is considered a plus is at Arsenal and brothels
Im telling you for free!
If you were going in to the hospital to have your appendix taen out and the Medical director gave you a choice:
A: the 50 yr old who has done this for the last 25 years
Or
B: the 25 year old who has never carried out an operation in his life but graduated top of the class at medical school?
I know Arsenal mgt would be edgy and choose B…..mostly because B might be £20 cheaper
‘If we lose the first 5 games of the league and lose to West Brom in League Cup, Arteta will be gone.’
If we have to wait to lose first six games of the season for a change to happen then no need to wait.
Arteta will get his odd win somewhere like he did last season. If that meant he would be here the whole season, then brace up for 8th or worse.
Wining is a combination of skill and ruthless decision making. Our owner is not a winner of sport as can be seen looking at his portfolio. What he has achieved is a slow downward spiral of decline which has been falsely covered by a rise in the clubs value. This rise is a result of London’s property market not Arsenals success. He has not invested in good management as he doesn’t have any idea how to win the league. We hav’nt had a world class manager for over ten years now , we have had mediocre coaches. This has been… Read more »
Change now give the new manager a bit of what’s left to buy a proper RB and we will be good

Apart from a new manager we need a new striker badly, martinelli , nketia, balogun are not ready and who knows what mind set lacazette will be in when he comes back? Especially when he knows the club has been trying to sell him, he now knows how important he is to the team. We need a different type of striker, a powerful one that can hold the ball bring others into play and can score headers. I mentioned onuachu yesterday, he is getable and has the attributes to push on to a higher ceiling. Eduaord of Celtic is another… Read more »
Spanish Dave here here
Stroller, We decided to send Saliba on a season loan, so that’s done and dusted. He won’t be playing for us this season. The mistake I was referring to is to keep Arteta in employment. The sooner we get rid of him and hire a competent manager with a clear vision, the better Arsenal would be. By Christmas, it does not matter who comes in, it may be already too late to salvage the season. Any new manager will want 2~3 players. At least 1 new midfielder because Sambi is not enough and Xhaka/Elneny can’t play dynamic front foot football.… Read more »
No looking back to Wenger please Pierre. He had 21 years and the last 10 were those of decline. Chelsea show no tolerance for failure – the best a manager can hope or there is 12 months without a serious trophy. I never wanted Arsenal to emulate that completely but I’ve got to admit it gets results, even if they were very boring Champions League winners on both occasions. We’re at the opposite end of Board activism – we go way beyond the obvious sacking point before we finally wake up. Arteta is now in his third nadir period in… Read more »
Gentlebris
The idea of a novice being shoved down out collective throats was so offensive that we don’t have many long posters here anymore. Posters like Marc, Cesc Appeal have either been binned or moved on because of their opposition.
You are not the only one who was against Arteta, bin that thought for your mind.
Gentlebris, I was one of those initially taken with Arteta. I was hoping that he would be able to translate his great individual coaching reputation into a headcoach position. The only doubt that I had were due to him having a nose browning reputation and the fact that nobody shed a tear when he left his position with the U21. I did not like the way he was setting up the team, but I accepted as a pragmatic way to win the FA Cup. But last winter, it was clear that the promotion to manager had gotten to his head.… Read more »
Bringing Xhakalson back to the team after showing fans the finger was the turning point for me,
Diet Pep was telling the fans to fuck off indirectly
Morning grovers
Here’s a question for you
Who do we trust on the board with decision making for the next appointments
Stan/josh/Tim/lord carpet retailer
Need to buy Antonio from West HAM !
“Antonio Conte is available, a real world class manager. Had we given him 130M to spend in summer he would have transformed our team. What a waste”
BRAVO ! Well said
The Fact that all Pundits say that Conte wont accept the Arsenal job says everything about this club. If we’ve cannot convince an Elite Manager to accept Arsenal job, we are finished as a top tier team ! Just get used to it or get Conte whatever it takes!
