Re: Manure A Sun May 12th KO 430pm

I’ve not posted on here for a long time but this place makes me laugh, today was tough but we’ve gone to the last game of season for the title with a really high points total. If this chat existed in 89 everyone would’ve been calling for George to be sacked. Draw at home to Wimbledon, lose to Derby...

Re: Olympiacos H Thurs 27th Feb, 8pm

Hard to find anything positive to say about last night, poor all night with issues all over the pitch. What should happen now is that preparations start for next season immediately. And that should mean things like more game time for the likes of Martinelli and Nketiah, keep playing Ceballos to dete...

Re: Mikel Arteta, success or failure?

I have to agree that although still glaring issues and results not being there the team have in general looked more organised and players appear to have an idea what their role is, which they didn't under Emery. And we have been working/pressing harder than before which is taking its toll on fitness...

Re: Manure (H) New Years Day 8pm

Cautiously optimistic about the club right now after the last 2 games. Even after we lost against the Chavs I said it was the most organised I had seen an Arsenal team in a very long time. When Freddie was in charge he mentioned our issue around transition when we lose the ball and it's something Ar...

We appear to be playing wing-backs and wingers. How is that going to work?

Re: Frankfurt (A) 19/9 5:55pm (!)

Xhaka just seems more comfortable and less rash when Torreira is alongside him. Torreira wasn't even particularly good last night but maybe it's like a security blanket thing. I think we'd all agree we'd rather see Torreira and Guendouzi than Xhaka being in the team but if Emery is going to persist ...

Re: Unai Emery

This is a great post that I found elsewhere that really does put things in perspective Pep's first season at City. The summer he arrived, on top of already having players like Aguero, D. Silva and De Bruyne he spend £190m on transfers to further strengthen his squad. Yet at the end of the season he...

Re: The 'I told you so' EU referendum - Officially the Worst Thread Ever

We can argue the toss until the cows come home. At the end of it all, the real problem for Brexit has been the fact that at no stage of proceedings have we ever had the losing sides grace or consent. And they have no intention of surrendering it any time soon, either. I'd say the biggest problem is...

Re: ALL Transfer talk - merged thread

They say it's a funny old game, but something struck me today :rubchin: For years we were rightly highly critical of Wenger signing sub par players for our great club and as an extension only aiming for CL qualification as a target. Yet now I find with him gone we fans are now accepting this as our...
