Doesn’t look like more than 10,000 in the stadium. I’m surprised the awful attendances don’t get more coverage in the media.

There is the obvious laughing when Arsenal announce the attendance at 60,000 when it’s clearly more like 45,000 but rarely does it go beyond that laugh in the media

I remember arsenal getting 40,000 for the youth cup final in Wilshere’s time, and regularly filled out the stadium for early cup rounds when we played kids. Back then the fans had hope and belief and the potential and football was all still exciting. More and more people giving up on it.

I don’t get to go to games, I’d find it hard to justify the cost based on what is served up nowadays

4 at the back with Luiz as a holding mid. He’s far more likely to sit in the right position than any other CM we have.....although it’s still a sticking plaster move to put him there

A Luiz Xhaka midfield axis. Classic Emery

He’d play 11 defenders if he could get away with it.

Those poor fans deserve some entertainment, could have played Özil and Pépé and at least had some fun.

Just dour

Just bizarre


Last europa game was sold out. Particular circumstances here. No tickets were sold - to anyone.

It’s not about Emery on this occasion.

This is not a brand of football that attracts people to stadiums though.

An exercise in not changing the channel

How to Make Stuffed Baked Marrow

Marrow might seem like a bland vegetable on its own, but its mild flavor works well with a variety of seasonings. For a spicy Spanish version, fill marrow halves with a chorizo, tomato, garlic, and paprika mixture. If you'd like a vegetarian marrow, slice the marrow into rings and stuff them with a cheddar and kidney bean filling. You can also make Mediterranean inspired marrow by filling halves with ground beef, feta, sundried tomatoes, and breadcrumbs. Bake your marrow halves or rings until they're tender and the filling is bubbly.


1
Preheat the oven to 395 °F (202 °C) and cut 1 marrow in half lengthwise. Rinse 1 marrow with water and put it on the cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut it in half lengthwise.

2
Scoop out the centers and place the halves in a pan. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds from both marrow halves. Once you've scraped out the seeds, put the marrow halves cut-side up in a large roasting pan.
Discard the seeds since they're watery

Sauté the onion for 10 minutes over low heat. Pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil into a saucepan and turn the burner to low. When the oil shimmers, stir in 1 diced onion and cook it until it softens.
Stir the onion occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

4
Stir in the garlic, chorizo, spices, and herbs and cook it for 2 minutes. Add 2 crushed garlic cloves, 1⁄4 pound (110 g) of chopped chorizo, 1 teaspoon (2 g) of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) of dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon(1 g) of dried thyme. Stir and cook the mixture for 2 minutes.
The chorizo should brown and the garlic will become fragrant once it's cooked.

Scatter breadcrumbs and manchego over and bake it for 10 minutes. Remove the marrow from the oven and take the foil off the top. Sprinkle 1 2/3 cup (85 g) of fresh breadcrumbs and 1 cup (113 g) of grated manchego over the marrow tops. Put the pan back in the oven and bake the marrow for 10 more minutes.
The breadcrumbs should become golden brown.

Serve the Spanish stuffed marrow. Turn off the oven and remove the marrow. Transfer the halves to a platter and serve them immediately. Consider serving the marrow with rice or crusty bread.
Refrigerate the leftover marrow in an airtight container for up to 3 to 5 days.

I’d rather just bin our Spanish marrow.

1-0 HT Aubameyang

Maybe an unpopular opinion but Mustafi is better than Sokratis. Both have plenty of mistakes in them mind!

All going as per usual. concede - they look better than us at the moment although Chambers miss really told us how good he is. Still when people start leaving early there will no problem for them with transport home.

I don't know where rock bottom is but we may not be there yet.

You watch this defending open mouthed. How on earth do you leave 3 guys on the edge of the box from a corner with no one within 15 yards of them. You wouldn’t see this from an under 12 team.

If losing this means emery gets sacked then let’s hope they stick a 3rd in

Why would you take off Martinelli? I just don't get his thinking at all. The kid has quality but he also works his socks off.

Also even if you wanted to it’s Pépé who needed to be brought on.

If he gets himself out of jail here it’ll be quite a stroke of luck. Don’t look like scoring

10 minutes to go.

2-1 down Lacazette and Pépé on the bench. Bring on torriera for a CB. What formation is this now? 3 at the back, 3 holding mids, Özil right wing.....
After every result I think ‘surely it’s this one that sacks him’....but yet we drift on.

Have a fan base ever been so 100% sack the manager and the board keep him on. There were plenty who wanted wenger to stay. I have not seen a single person who wants emery to stay

Another cracking evening’s entertainment.

I’m sure that we’ll have another week where various players tell us that they’re going to do better from now on. Words.

This is simply Abysmal just abysmal.

They have to change this now.

Let Mertesacker and Freddie take charge till the summer. Find your Best 11 and stick with it.

Dire.

Longest run without a win since 1992.

So utterly bored of this football club.

There needs to be some honesty from those at the top. If they won’t sack emery then come out and tell us truthfully the level of ambition. If the club are happy being midtable because the bottom line is still ok then tell us. They’ll soon find an empty stadium and less money coming through the turnstiles, in sponsors etc. Sadly as long as the club stays in the prem the tv money alone will probably be enough for Kronke to not be bothered by it at all.
