Has anyone read the Arsene biography “My Life in Red and White”?

I’m about halfway through and it’s a struggle. It is unbelievably boring. No emotion but rather a series of I did this, then I did that.

Bernard Tapie? Not a mention.

Oh for the days of Brian Glanville.

I've read a lot of it and you're right it is pretty dull. I didn't expect Wenger to come out and tell all the juicy stories on how he hated Ferguson and Jose etc but I thought there would be a little bit more detail on some of the things that went on behind the scene, some of the 'nearly' transfers, some of the detail behind some important wins and defeats, the heartbreaking sales we had to make.....the last minute trolley dash following the 8-2 at OT - but it's all quite factual.

It’s funny you should say this because I’m reading it right now and was about to post the same thing. I’m on chapter “my life at Arsenal my home” and I have to say the whole things far from illuminating, seems low on details and revelation. In the chapter I’m reading he’s just listed his notable signings which seem to have included Coquelin and Cygan doing this seems poorly conceived.

I’d say so far the books a complete non event. The most interesting thing so far is he revealed the name of David Deins boat.

I'm expecting 3 CB today. If so I'd like to see:
Leno
Mustafi - Gabriel - Tierney
Bellerin - Partey - Xhaka - AMN
Pépé - Aubameyang - Saka
Or Saka at left wing back and Willian in but I like the pace AMN gives

LTG, Rich and Top Gun. Thanks for your observations on Wenger’s book. You’ve just made me glad I’ve decided not to buy or read it.

You’re more than welcome.
“Addicted” it certainly isn’t.

Final chapter details Arsenes affair with Katie price, his drinking sessions with Gazza and Chris Evans and his passion for drum and bass music.

Leno, Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, saka, Elneny, partey, willian, Lacazette, Aubameyang

Elneny is a surprise. Holding back sooner than most thought. And feel lacazette is a touch lucky to start

I said weeks ago after we lost to liverpool when he got took off I genuinely think Arteta has had a lightbulb moment with xhaka. He’s realised you can’t have a player that immobile in midfield againest the big clubs or you will be over run in midfield

Ordinarily Bernard I’d urge you to read it and make your own mind up however I’ve just finished it and it’s without a doubt the most boring football book I’ve ever read.

Thinking back to Perry Groves book I thought perry came across as a complete cocky snide throughout his read but at least some parts were entertaining. (I believe he’s not actually like this but it’s just how it read to me)

Addicted remains the most interesting football book to me. Many of them have been disappointing especially sols.

First 15 dominating the ball. One dangerous cross from Bellerin that just eluded Aubameyang, otherwise though not much for De Gea to worry about.

Classic even it up yellow card from Mike Dean. Although Holding might have been lucky not to get a yellow earleir

The back line carrying 2 yellows will be an issue.

Willian hits the bar. We are well on top

I like our tempo. We're being a positive side, driving forward. Just missing a final pass.

The thing that frustrates me with this game is Man U have made a lot of fouls that the ref has rightly played advantage with....but when it comes to totting up fouls for yellow cards for persistent fouling all those advantage fouls will be forgotten

Argh we’re wasting too many situations and chances. You can feel the sucker punch on the counter happening again here.

We should be at least 1 up

Playing really well, with pace and determination. Our whole game seems so much quicker and more focused.

Keep it up lads

Good first half from us and a bit unlucky with a few deflections. You just know those feckers will get a peno in the second half.

Happy to see Elneny instead of Xhaka. And Elneny is playing well.

We are moving the ball forward faster, I like it.

We've played surprisingly well but haven't taken our chances.

No surprise if it come back to bit us on the backside.

Thomas Partey will rightly get the plaudits so far but El Nenny has been decent and far more progressive in the final 3rd where he’s passing and moving. Best midfield performance in ages so far in my opinion

Pépé for Willian for me.

Hopefully not famous last words but....

Our play out from the back involving Leno has looked loads better today. Far more calm and controlled.
