Unai Emery

[BFG4]

Why the fuck are the board waiting until the Leicester game to pull the trigger. Even in a fantasy world in which we pull off a result, it doesn't change that we are going nowhere under this clown. Rather spineless of the board to wait for us to be destroyed before they take action.

waiting until the Leicester game ?
you will be lucky. Emery won't be going anywhere soon.

haven't you still not woken up to the fact that there is no ambition at our club ?

I don't think for a second that the club has any ambition but one thing they care about is that CL money. With Emery in charge, we are heading towards being out of contention for 4th, and before Christmas. The Emirates would be like a ghost town for 6 months with little to play for. I expect us to be destroyed next Saturday and for him to be given his marching orders soon after.

I see Arseblog is calling for a change of manager .... listing out some damning stats against Emery to back his stance.

Fair enough ... but where was this stance between 2009-2017 with the previous manager?

Guys like Sid on here and a number of others who have been calling for Emery’s head, I have no problem with. They were all rapid Wenger Out for a number of years and their argument is completely consistent.

Arseblogger and a number of other bloggers who defended Wenger or held back in their criticism suddenly seem to have developed a ruthless streak they didn’t have before. Funny that

You don't even need to look that far - look at the comments from our overseas superfans on Arsenal.com saying Emery needs to leave now because "he can't organise a defence", and then in the same breath say how much they miss the Dear Leader. Apparently Emery is tactically clueless, poor defensively, chose the wrong captain and wasted money on players who aren't good enough

Never would have caught Wenger making any of those mistakes consistently for a decade eh? Maybe when Emery leads us to 8-2, 6-0, 6-3, 5-1, 10-2 aggregate defeats on a consistent basis, picks a calamitous Spanish clown of a keeper as captain followed by a bloke who cried on the pitch and sat down sulking on the touchline, and spunked 35m on Mustafi, 32m on Xhaka, 17m on Perex, 16m on Chambers, 11m on Cech, 8m on Elneny and gave long contracts to Denilson, Bendtner and Jenkinson......then he truly would have earned the same patience levels that these fucktards gave to their precious darling

[Arsenal Till I Die]

Keep 'em coming lads.....some comedy gold suggestions on here. So far we've got:

1. Maureen - who is going to defy logic and take his time machine back a decade to when he was top dog and crush all before him with his brand of swashbuckling football

2. 12 game Brenda - Liverpool's least successful manager in 70 years

3. Thomas Tuchel - a man who managed to win the league at PSG (after Emery had won the treble), oversaw their worst run of league results since 2012 i.e. their wealth era, and lost 1-3 at home to Ole's ManUre to get knocked out of the CL. Prior to that he'd won a single domestic cup with Dortmund. Still if we give him €135m to spend on a single player like he did with Mbappe, I'm sure he'll turn us into world beaters

Can't wait to hear about the next batch of contenders.......

We're not going to be in the position to attract a top, top class if we sack Emery within the next few weeks' most managers (Allegri aside) won't want to leave their clubs - all the top ones having better seasons than us - midway through the season to join a disjointed side that sit outside of the top four and are low on confidence.

Would Allegri want it if it was offered to him? Who knows. Now, I'm not advocating in favour of Mourinho or Rodgersby any means; however if we sack Emery, who could we get midseason? Unless we give it to Freddie.

I see we have the world's foremost football expert back slagging all and sundry yet never comes up with answers himself apart from giving the worst manager I've seen at The Arsenal more time

The I "never go to games unless I get a freebie type", yet seems to get freebies every fortnight.

I rarely even accept the freebies these days!

I've never declared myself the world's most foremost football expert, so not sure where that bit came from??!!

Sorry that you disagree with my view about wanting to give Emery more time, but what can I say, that's my view and if it turns out to be the wrong way I expect everyone will be quick to point it out. I still think that 11-12 games in the season when its only just developing into your own squad is a bit premature to pull the trigger. Performances of late haven't been good and I'll admit at times I'm baffled by some of the substitutions and the chop changing of the squad. If that's still going on towards the end of the season and we're going backwards then I'll stand by what |I said that 4 transfer windows and 2 whole seasons is enough to expect some improvement

I don't disagree with the suggestion about Allegri - if we want someone with a proving track record of winning big trophies, and who knows how to build a solid defence then surely he would be the most obvious candidate?

If we can't get Allegri then unlike some others here I'm prepared to give someone new a go, yes possibly Freddie or Vieira, rather than someone like Rodgers and Tuchel who to my mind have had a go at big clubs and failed with their methods and ideas. We'll never know of course if Freddie or PV4 are the men until they get the chance.....a bit like the Chavs would never really know with Lampard, but in fairness to them they've given it a go when it could easily be argued that he perhaps wasn't experienced enough

I don't mind that that's your view mate but you slag off everyone's elses to a degree of ridicule, I just think you should give others a bit of slack especially if you can't put forward your recommendations for others to judge.

Just saying.

Only read first part of quote (it's Sunday and I've just walked the dog 7 miles and now on the wine) but yes allegri would 've a good option but I don't think he will come to us mainly because of our limited budget.

Sad to say but we are limited to the lower levels of manager and I do think there are few in the PL who could do better with this squad.

Fair enough mate - it's all about opinions. The Rodgers one is the one that winds me up most simply because pretty much the same folk who REALLY ridiculed him, are now holding him up to be a great alternative to Emery on the back of a half decent run at Leicester. I remember last time I put forward a suggestion - Sean Dyche - I probably received more ridicule than everyone else put together lol

So my choices would be:

1. Emery till the end of the season - if no trophy, no improvement on defence and away record then gone for 20/21, to be replaced by....

2. Ideally Allegri (but accepting that's probably a pipe dream)

3. either Freddie, PV4, potentially Arteta or Sean Dyche

Feel free to all rip the piss out of me........I'm a bit immune to it after the Abou days anyway

[SteveO 35]

Ole's at the wheel.........haven't heard that for a while

Mr. No Trophies at the Lane

Marco Silva - surely the biggest fraud of the lot

All much lauded not so long ago. Not suggesting Emery is the Messiah, but also looking there at other managers who were all lauded on the back of either a half decent run of form or for achieving for Spurs what Wenger did for us for 9 years (i.e. nearly but not quite and spunk off about finishing top 4)

Arseblog....that's hilarious.....he spent so long deep down in wonga's pocket he could taste wongas pile cream, and gladly survived on that and what ever other tidbits the club threw his way.......the tidbits have obviously dried up from Dick.

Now now SteveO don’t be bitter.

Nobody is suggesting Brenda is the second coming but he’s had less time and less money at Leicester than Mr. Magnolia has had with us and he has them getting results and playing at a tempo that makes it seem we’re playing completely different sports.

They’re 6 points ahead of us tonight after a comfortable 2 nil win away at Palace today (in what fucking planet do we go away anywhere and cruise to a win - answer fucking nowhere!) which will become 9 points this time next week when they rim us at their place.

Fwat Fwank who spent 5 minutes at Derby rocks up at the Chavs unable to change the team due to a transfer ban and watched on as their 2 best players fucked off to Madrid - and guess what? - he’s comfortably outperforming Mr. Beige too!

The football’s fucking shite, the defence is a shambles, we’ve no style of play and we’re going nowhere. Watford had 30+ shots against us, Wolves 20+ yesterday. Two wins in our last nine games and you want to give the fucking dullard more time??

Why? To relegate us!

Oh and I was fine with your criticism of Tuchel......that is until you mentioned Sean fucking Dyche

I said in the summer that the chavs transfer ban would actually help lampolard, and it has lifted the pressure off them and helped them to the nice little run they are on. However, do not mistake that for them being a good team or a threat to us cos they wont be (even if emery stays) - they are the absolute definition of bog average and average shit like Abraham will stop scoring goals and then they will be fcuked. The results have been masking their awful shortcomings, and even a shit out of form manure team have been able to piss over them twice this season.

We are a shambles and of that there is no doubt - I will still argue that Rodgers took over a much more balanced squad than emery did, and that they have winning pedigree in theirs whilst we have posers in ours. They will piss all over us next week cos they are strongest (chav vardy and Maddison) where we are at our weakest - they have a team running through brick walls whilst we have one that runs up to brick walls, isn't happy at being asked to do so, and then sulks cos the world is unfair for putting the wall there

[rodders999]

Maybe you’re right about the chavs Augie we’ll see but in my opinion there’s fuck all hope we finish above them (let alone top 4) if Emery sees out the season.

We will continue to drop points all over the place home and away as we have done all season long
to guarantee that.

You could actually compartmentalise our results if you could see he was trying to build towards something but 18 months in bar allowing the opposition pepper our goal every single game I haven’t a fucking clue what type of football he wants us to play.

[SteveO 35]

Chris Wilder - promoted through 2 divisions, 7th in the league. Dinosaur

Sean Dyche - smallest budget in the PL every year, promotion, quality for Europa League, consistent well organised PL team. Dinosaur

Ronald Koeman, Slaven Bilic, Marco Silva - handful of wins. Geniuses. Give them all the next big job in town

If social media existed in 1986 I'd love to have seen the string of comments on here when we were considering appointing GG. Dinosaur

If there had been a Portuguese or Dutch bloke that had won promotion with their equivalent of Millwall however they'd all be perfect for the job

Anyway.....most of this club's modern fan base truly deserve Wenger back in charge as caretaker and one of the knobs I've listed above on a 5 year deal
