The person Arsenal really need to sack is all their fans, or failing that, just mantralux. They need to get away from this idea that they have to be an attractive passing team playing 'good football', it's a load of gubbins and historically illiterate. Sort the defence out, get a tough midfielder, and build again from there.
Good old Sussex by the sea, good old Sussex by the sea!
Jesus Arsenal are shite.
Aubameyang, Ozil and Pepe across the attacking midfield stations.
WORKRATE :drool:
Aubameyang genuinely pissed off for a few minutes (what was that all about?) and did anyone notice?
Was that when the Wilcock lad played a bad pass to him in the first half?Quote:

Freddie Ljungberg looks an inspiring sort going off that interview. :cab:
I think now's the time for Allardyce.
And that VAR goal was better than I could've imagined. :D
I don't think most want 'attractive' football a la Wenger's last decade, at all. Maybe the bods from Nigeria and UAE cluttering the twatter space, but certainly not around N7.Quote:

In Wenger's first decade we played great stuff, but it was often via counters and it was no more aesthetically orientated than any other big team of the day.
The move to flighty little technicians with a penchant for hamstring strains coinciding with the aforementioned change in the local hierarchy brought about the whole sense of puritanical superiority through the aesthetic, but most fans woke up on that front well before Wenger departed.
25 years, 6 months and 11 days and I've finally walked out of an Arsenal game on the wrong end of the result. Was inevitable it would happen now I'm there for the majority of home games, but I always thought it'd be against someone a bit more esteemed than fucking Brighton.
Not a fucking clue. I was scouring Reddit to see if they'd mentioned why on TV and it had been repeated. Thought he'd heard there was a Chinese contract on the table back in the dressing room...Quote:

Don't think he'll go this summer though and there's a chance he might stay when he gets the inevitable England call up. He's obviously twice the player of say...Ross Barkley. Bit of Gazza about him.Quote:

Did you not tell them to play to the whistle, you smacked arse?
Given we all know play will go on until the thing happens and then they'll check it yeah, just keep playing.
The sport has to evolve. Rules have to change. I want to seen the clock being stopped every time the ball goes out of play or the whistle is blown, and just play two 30 minute halves or something like that. There are a few other rules I would change.
They need to sack Wilder and bring in Marco Silva.
Must be time Iain Dowie got another go.
It'll be interesting to see where Silva chances his arm next. Probably going to have to find a cushty number a la Martinez. Maybe he's more Villas-Boas, without the enigmatic squatting. He can join Owen Coyle in the Indian Super League or whatever it is called.
They're now complaining that they've been 'lynched' for that headline. :DQuote:

Current defence is fine other than left back. We're not trying to win the league. Give Tomori time to develop.
He can develop, just beside a slightly better player. The goalkeeper doesn’t help, he’s been a bit error prone whilst making some unreal saves.Quote:

Mon the Tory racists.
Macclesfield's game off tomorrow due to players' strike. Bury mkII, waiting to happen. Will seriously fuck me off as if their results are expunged we'd lose points while rivals at the top wouldn't.
Nigel Pearson appointed at Watford, will he make it to New Year's Day?
Why are there so few premier League games today?
Because there was so many in midweek.
Big Dunc in?
What's the protocol for when your eighty million euro keeper isn't very good?
You’d assume this is just the usual new manager bounce. Not a hope Duncan Ferguson ends up competent in any way.
Swap him with Real for the one they had off you who also isn't very good?Quote:

Kepa is fine, there are very few 'good' goalkeepers out there if a full season with no fuck-ups is the expectation.
New manager plus Everton away means a 3-1 loss is a pretty good result for us.
Not a bad ball that for a guy who can only pass sideways.
Another route 1 goal :drool:
Conceding two goals to Dominic Calvert-Lewin is disgraceful.
Get the Parrott on at half time.

Heung Min Son is great.
Mo Salah has just taken 3 men out with a backheel assist for Keita.
Alright, George Weah.
Interesting decision to put Wythenshawe's Anthony Taylor as the ref in the Manc derby.
11 clear of Leicester, 14 clear of City....'Mon United? A draw and a feisty game wouldn't go amiss. Pressure on Leicester tomorrow too and yeah, we could wrap this title up by the end of the month given Leicester and City face one another and we face Leicester too.
Or is this where we Liverpool it? Unassailable lead to be followed by 10 defeats on the spin or something daft.
Why is that? He reffed it last year.Quote:

I have a sneaking feeling we're going to get smashed today.
