1. Agree with you Decaf

2. Won't matter as AG won't be reading this will he. (Cause he's a bit of a knob, and does absolutely nothing to change my rather blinkered opinion of most Americans as being the most self-unaware, ignorant, arrogant, loud, and frankly thick peoples on earth.)

I agree with Hazuki on this. Xhaka was playing well even before Torreira got into the side. For me there are a number of positives about Emery's influence so far, and a general improvement of various players already at the club is one of them. Xhaka is one of a number of quite blatant examples. Others include Bellerin, Iwobi and Čech (I went to a talk and Q&A by Charlie George last week who, speaking as a lifelong fan, feels Čech is arguably our player of the season so far even though Leno has been so good he thinks Čech will face a struggle to get back in the team). Also there's Lacazette and, I have to say, Mustafi who I believe has had a fine season.

Anther factor that I believe reflects well on Emery is the new signings, without exception, look good. Guendouzi, Torreira and Leno have all been outstanding. Sokratis has been very impressive and even Lichtsteiner, perhaps the least exciting of the new arrivals, has done well when he's played. Another change I welcome is a willingness to get the ball forward more quickly. Sure, we look to keep possession but gone are the regular thirty or so pass moves it often appeared to take to get the ball in the opposition half before the ball promptly, as part of the same move, came back to the defenders and keeper.

There are other positives like him not being afraid to make tactical substitutions and to give instructions from the touchline. Furthermore, one of my personal preferences is for Arsenal managers to look smart during matches. Emery wears a suit and tie. Compare him to Chelsea's new boss. He's doing a splendid job but despite earning millions looks like he lives in a cardboard box down the Embankment tube station. In short, to date I'm very happy with Emery.

This will kill 3 birds with 2 stones. Maybe 4.
I don't like the Welsh. Or scousers.
Or the British in general, really.
Because they are
I'll qualify it by saying when you're talking to "sports fans", because you are all, by definition, morons.

Any sport, any Nationality, all complete and utter morons.

I liked this Forum because there was more being talked about than just football - actually one of the dullest topics imaginable.
Especially with British/Arsenal fans, who are the most self-unaware, ignorant, arrogant, loud, and frankly thick peoples on earth.

For the last 50 years English football has stood still. 50 years. 1966 and all that! You people cheated your way to a World Cup Victory, and then...and then did nothing. Nothing! Because you are the most self-unaware, ignorant, arrogant, loud, and frankly thick peoples on earth.

You lot got fooled by a piece of broccoli. No alcohol, no chocolate, replace with broccoli.
That's all it took. And sell Anelka to Real and build the Academy.

But then the Board got greedy, and sold your Club to the highest bidder, who has now taken all of it away from you.
All of it! It's gone. And it won't come back. Not ever. You're supporting a franchise, that will eventually play in the European League.


You lot don't even understand the essence of it all

because you can't translate "Eckige"


See You Next Wednesday!

Hoping Juve put their foot on Man Utd's neck.

Point 2 reminded me of several scenes from the movie “In Bruges” about Americans

If you haven’t seen it worth a watch.

The amount of orgasming in all directions , high fives , Yahoos and talking sh**t , gush and slop ... over the simplest of accomplishments .
They really do play the dick to extreme

How's life .....?

Always a good thing when Man Utd loses. Now for PSV to do thier job against the scum.

Dear Warrior

I have followed American Gooner's lead and have blocked many posters.

When I write a post, if I scroll down a little I can see all the posts, even from the blocked ones, in the Topic Review part, which annoys slightly, but I'll get used to it.
Seems American Gooner has managed it, and so, with a bit of practise, I can surely do so as well.

*and yes, I've posted it rather than PM'd it so that the others can read it.

It amuses me that allegedly highly intelligent humans, who are all very PC and Liberal can now be all unified in declaring EVERY SINGLE American an enormous great a******.
The irony.

Who has ever bullied you, you massive fruitcake! and people only ever started questioning your sanity when you blocked people who disagreed with you about something. At that point everyone on here knew you had gone a little bit Donnie Darko so to speak.

It wasn’t that after about 20 year posting here everyone went “let’s get him”

This is the scary thing because all this stuff is literally in your head.

Speaking on behalf of the forum we all dearly hope and pray you get better soon.

It’s a bit early to look at which champions league teams might drop in to the Europa but there is really only 2 groups that should cause a problem. Liverpool’s group and spurs’ group.

So, in the spirit of International Relations, can we just take a minute out of our stressful lives and consider how stupid New Zealand and Australia really are...


This Freak OF Nature won the Australian International & Australian Open in Melbourne, HE/she competed at the heaviest Women's 90 kg+ category, winning the gold medal.

It's so sweet.

Also Callum "Hannah Montana" Mouncey. What a freak! Point at it! Throw stones at it. Burn it with fire! Girl Power, my arse?!?

Welcome to the club. There is an initiation process, a secret handshake and secret knock if or when you visit a
member.
Anyway, I can't see the blocked posts. You must be doing something wrong.

Trump's approval rating hovers in the mid 40s so we can say without a doubt 45 percent or so of Americans are enormous a*******. The rest of us have the potential if not already. Being a gooner though automatically exempts me from a****** status. Surely, no gooner can be an a****** can he or she?

If I'm still getting abuse, what is it now? At least year maybe closer to 2 years some are blocked, I've elevated past Chocolate Gooner and Cannon Balls in infamy...haha.

What has little 'ol me done to gain such enmity other than apparently boring posts, holding the wrong passport and the temerity of an American loving the greatest football club in the known (and unknown according to astronomers) universe with equal feeling as they do?

Seriously though, I've said it before. You can't ever, ever, (in my best Winston Churchill voice) given to bullies, internet or otherwise or they win so I am here to stay, and unless I violate some forum rule or whatever and get kicked off (must remember an xmas gift to Warrior), I will NEVER F*CKING leave or they win. And I never lose in circumstances like these. Their having to see my posts is my reward each time I post.

Get over yourself , you drug addled half wit ......... no-one is saying EVERY SINGLE American is a F%^*** .... Buddy Holly , Waylon Jennings , Fats Domino , Everly Bros , Sam Cooke , Trey Gowdy , Ron Paul , Popcorn Sutton , ZZ Top , Gene Hackman , Susan Sarandon , Denzel Washington , Morgan Freeman , James Gandolfini , James Dean , Carroll Baker , Kim Novak ... the Pope family from San Francisco I met at a local park and invited them home for lunch ...... weren't / aren't d*ckheads .

You've had free rein posting three tons of detritus every week and when challenged you follow the Yankee Doodle Dandee route ....block the opposition and simper to the minions ....... pitiful .

Radio for me tonight. Hard to tell if we’re good bad or indifferent. Anyone watching?

I'm watching. A bit underwhelming, but have seen much worse. Smith-Rowe has almost achieved invisibility to the extent that when he did get the ball, I'd forgotten he was playing.

We must be watching different games I don't think he is playing. Well not on my TV at least?

1-0. Will we ever stop winning?
