OLE'S AT THE WHEEL

(inb4 we lose to Villa)

Still trying to work out how so many people backed us to get 3rd this season.

I mean you lot didn't lose anyone and got signings (Ndombele, GLC both good additions) so why not?

We lost our first choice right back and an experienced backup striker who regularly made an impact when we needed him to. Neither of them were replaced and we also failed to get a center back to replace Alderweireld and Vertonghen who are declining and will probably be gone within in a year or two.

The signings we did make were good but they didn't address any of the issues we had in the squad.

I ain't betting of chaos (i.e. us)

My understanding was that Son is the designated backup striker? Though obviously you lot were linked with more than a few forwards as well

This is going to be the true test to Poch's reign at Spurs. Can he motivate this side still after midweek, are the players interested in playing for him still after all that is going on behind the scenes? Don't think this will be a great game for stuff on the field but if Spurs don't put in a strong performance and win could it be curtains for their manager? The real question seems to be will he be sacked or will he walk?

Tottenham have now collected just six wins from their last 20 matches, while their last away victory in the Premier League occurred back in October.

They were 500/1 before playing Newcastle Sunday and then dropped to 200/1 on bet365 whilst skybet were offering 50/1

Emery has to go asap, he's got simply no idea what he is doing. His main task is to get us back in the top 4 and lets be honest we're miles away from that now.




That says everything, clueless.

Wenger or Emery?

Who will come in to replace him too? Eddie Howe always seemed to be a popular choice on FM !

Emery is definitely performing worse imo, we've an half decent squad now too. Better than what Wenger had at the anyway.

No idea who we would replace him with but I genuinely think we'd see an instant improvement who ever it is, if it even happens! Though if we lose against Leicester this weekend top 4 will be very to hard to reach after and that is his priority so personally I think he has to go after that match.

Wenger, hands down - it's not necessarily a diss on Emery, more of my support for Arsene.

I know VP might probably disagree but I'll take current Wenger back, I've always believed that he was done so dirty by that inept cunt Gazidis, and with Raul/Edu hopefully replicating what David Dein all those years ago he'd be less hamstrung than he was with that bald fraud and his fucking StatDNA shite.

Wasn't Gazidis the one considered the better option at Arsenal?

I suppose there was a case made that the club needed fresh blood to start growing our financials.

Too bad for us he was a fucking fraud in his time here - we consistently trailed Utd for instance in commercial deals, we signed players based off his bullshit StateDNA, he came out with bullshit Warchest statements when we spent fuck all, and the only reason he got away with it was thanks to Wenger being his human shield.

Wenger then quits, he puts himself front and centre of the triumvirate that chose Emery as the new coach, then fucked off once there's a half-decent opportunity around, didn't even have the desire to see his supposed vision for Arsenal come to fruition (or the balls to front it when it fails).

Man's a fucking paper tiger and I'm fucking glad that he's shown himself to be running another club to the ground, fucking fraud.

So predictions for tonights epic thrashing, I'll be amazed if we only lose by a three goal margin and if Leicester score early it'll be five. My only hope is that if this does happen Emery will be gone the next day, but sadly I can see him being in charge for the rest of the season where not getting CL football will see him dismissed.

Huh. Bruce is doing better than my low expectations suggested. Granted it helps him our defenders are stepping up where our attackers aren't, but still - take what one can get.

As for Liverpool-Man City, I'm not going to say that the title race is done, especially as Man City literally recovered from such a deficit last season, but its still going to be a very difficult recovery process. And that's even without them moaning VAR robbed them of a penalty seconds before goal number 1.

Things are going to get a lot more hectic for Liverpool on December too, especially the whole League Cup and Club World Cup debacle. Can easily see them dropping points over that period and Klopp going on a rant about the unfairness of it all and the fatigued players.

Bruce is at the club he was made for. Lower Premier League is his level
