So Emery has an opportunity to put a damper on the person the press is saying should/will replace him. The drama...lol.

Emery in. Way too early to talk of changes. It's not his fault he doesn't have the defense we need. And since Wenger we have taken a lot of control from the manager.

Not a lot to say about that shitfest.

I really wonder now if our players are overrrated. It can't be just down to Emery.

Emery has given it his best shot and it just hasn't worked out. A bit like a bad marriage that's become stale,

I’ve seen people say words to the effect that defeat at Leicester is a certainty I think we will probably lose, but football isn’t that predictable. Worse teams than Arsenal have beaten better sides than Leicester many times in one off games. Are Leicester favourites? Yes. But they are not guaranteed to win.

How is it not his fault? Whose fault is it? Nancy Pelosi?

So Mustafi did the hand to the ear celebration after scoring againest a bunch of total no marks. If ever there was an example of why we are so adrift.

"Arsenal have suffered gradual decline since they moved stadium 13 years ago."

That sentence resonated with me from the last Gooner editorial (https://www.onlinegooner.com/articles/view/4895)

Does it suggest that once we moved to the new stadium, it was viewed as the final piece in jigsaw, and from that day onwards the club simply rested on its laurels, or that we have had bean counters and suits running Arsenal primarily as a business and not a sporting institution?

It was a combination of not having enough money to compete initially, Wenger not able to stay consistently good any longer and then being owned by a non interested owner. Those 3 things the most.

Why does his goal celebration show why we’re so adrift?

Probably because the ear cupping suggests his critcs have been silenced, as if his goal against european nobodies is a comprehensive answer to the criticism of his form and ability when it absolutley is not, so could point to a lack of understanding of the situation and the higher aims of the club and fans.

Good grief, so you think under the ownership regime the club has higher aims? I wish I shared your faith in Stan.

On the overall point I think a fuss is probably being made over very little.

No, I told you why it gave that impression. What the clubs aims SHOULD be and what they are, are probably two different things, which I think is part of what TG was driving at.

Emery has said Xhaka won’t play v Leicester, cellabos is also ruled out. So is it a midfield 3 of Guendouzi, torriera, Willock or is emery going to play Özil!!?

It was described as “transition” when we moved.

That suggested a dip followed by a rise.
Whereas it has just been gradual but persistent decline. The drive to succeed on the field as opposed to the balance sheet appears to have dissipated completely.

Anybody who cared enough to fight has been removed. We appear to operate like a small scale commercial enterprise. I never thought that I’d ever see it like this.

Too 4 is absolutely essential for the club this season. I think we’re screwed if we don’t.

This guy is usually pretty spot on with his info. This does not sound like we’re able to pull the trigger on Emery yet.

Today reminds me of the latter days of Wenger. I want us to either win or be humiliated in defeat, anything else just seems a waste of time.
