Punani, you have some front coming on here slagging our manager.

Where was you when we was on our 22 match unbeaten run?

In EMERY I trust!

Slagging "our manager"? Crikey Mala, you've got some front saying that with a straight face. All you've done ever since I can remember is slag "our manager".

Don't bother responding mate, you'll just say something idiotic and insult my sensibilities. You're a great lad, but your level of tolerance for someone else's opinion, when it doesn't jive with yours, needs kicked up a few notches.

Steve, your pot kettle would make sense - if it were true. You see, my issue with you is not your opinion. No sir! It is the fact that you are entirely hypocritical.

When we had a run of 22 games unbeaten with Emery, you waxed lyrical about his abilities. As soon as we lost 2 games, you were blaming everything on "Wenger's dreggs [sic]". What changed? Nothing.

This isn't a pot kettle scenario. If you have an opinion, then you stick with it. Don't flip flop around it at the first sign of trouble.

Sharpe, i have no problem with your opinion, its great, its your personal insults you give to people who you don't agree with. The way you have targeted people in the past and forced them off the site, with your verbal attack. Your opinion is your opinion, not a problem. Opinion is not a problem.

Facts matter Mala. I'm all about the herb and nothing but the herb. But when have facts ever come between you and a good yarn. I'd go so far as to say you have the nose for it, but that's probably crumbled by now.

Surely to be able to see other people's points and be open to changing your own previous held opinion based on looking at things from a different perspective is what debate and dialog is all about Sharpie?
Sticking to your original opinion despite hearing an alternative opinion that rings true to you is surely not a strength but a weakness.
There is no shame in being wrong the only shame is being to proud to admit it even when you know you are.
I got carried away by the wave of optimism that comes with change but after considering your post asking what was different from Arsenal under Arsene to Arsenal under Dick I began to see through the special Emery glasses I had been wearing.
Hopefully I will change my opinion once again and start thinking Dick is brilliant again but at the moment I'm not anywhere near as certain as I was with those glasses on.

Absolutely G62, I am in full agreement with you. My issue in this case is very specifically that the opinion itself didn't change, but rather a scapegoat was sought out.

I see your posts on here and can relate to them because I too have found myself buying into something so completely and then being proven wrong. It is indeed a strength to admit you were wrong and for you to seek positives or alternatives. I'd be behind that.

But that's not what is happening here, unfortunately.

For me I wanted change badly But when it came it was a mixture of excitement for the future and sadness that things had got so bad for our greatest ever manager who as a person I've always liked very much, does that make me hypocritical? In some people's eyes I guess yes but for some people there is only black and white where your either for or against someone or something with no other options available.
I'm very much still behind Emery and if there was a vote tomorrow I'd vote for him to stay but I do have serious doubts about him the longer he is in charge and appears to be either not willing to or not capable of doing something to sort out our defence which even in the 22 game run was always extremely suspect, I'm sure for some people if you back Emery you can't also question him and his decisions but unfortunately I do both back him carrying on but also have serious
concerns about his capabilities that will be either dispelled or prove to be founded by this time next year I'm sure.
I'm not sure if it's allowed by some people to both back and question Dick but that's me and how I see things.

Sharpe 100% apologies for the earlier comment. It was a 100% mistaken identity. SORRY.

G62, at the end, I fear we all wanted something to change; even me. There, I admitted it. However, I am unable to stand idly by while our "greatest ever manager" (your own words) is vilified. You can't, in one breath shout from the roof tops about what an amazing manager Emery is because of an, albeit largely lucky, run of 22 unbeaten games and then proceed to slag off "greatest ever manager" when things go wrong. If Emery is lauded for our good games, then he should rightly be taken to task when things go wrong.

I haven't yet formed an opinion of our current manager. I'd prefer to see where we are in a couple of seasons. If I was pressed for an opinion, I'd have to say no better and no worse than we had. What I will not do is say, "Great game Emery", when we win and, "Thanks for the dregs Wenger", when we lose. That, in my very humble opinion, is hypocritical.

Steve, you mean there's another hole out there that reminds you of me mate?

It's all good bud; no apologies required. I've been blamed for lots worse 🙂.

Agree 62 - I was very disappointed to see the #emeryout as he needs time and I am happy to give him time BUT he has not set my world alight if anything given me concerns he’s not up to the job. If he was sacked tomorrow - I would not cry about it. If he goes on to win the league - I would be ecstatic and scream his name from the stands.
I don’t agree with setting the standard as last season ( the one that got Wenger fired) as that sucks. We should demand a good standard and apply the pressure to get it.
We are no better organised, no better tactics, no better pressing, no better at giving stupid goals away and no better to watch except the we start with a new hope.
I am behind my club and expect us to do better than apply zero pressure on West Ham. In one attack there player was still getting bloody dressed we are such a push over.

Same players virtually same results and performances, to me SY that means that currently Dick is no more capable than Arsene at getting the best out of the same group of players.
It's irrelevant who chose these players as tactics and motivation can and do make a difference even with exactly the same players, United 100% since Mourinho left with the same players so a different manager can make a big difference even with the same players as the previous manager struggled with, United are just an example as we've all seen new managers at lots of clubs come in and make a huge difference with the same players and others come in and make absolutely no difference at all and currently Dick is firmly in the no difference group.
It not what I or any of us want but it really is the way it is rigjt now unfortunately.

I think you can see I am in the same camp 62 and still want Emery to succeed because he’s OUR manager.

Absolutely SY mate we all want Emery to be the man that delivers for us but he has to show us he's got the ability we can't just accept more endless jam tomorrow talk, we're not expecting Salmon and caviar sarnies from day one but we do need to be thrown more than the same old stale old crumbs and regular thrashing we've grown so tired of long long long ago.

Sharpe, i'm really sorry, we have been in this shiz together long enough and i was thinking of a couple of things a while ago and I've checked, I've got it right round my arse. Thanks for accepting my bad mistake.

Top man Steve mate, we all get things wrong sometimes mate and it takes a man to admit it and huge shout for you too Sharpie mate because it also takes man to genuinely accept an apology.

I am not sure if you read my posts malaga mate but i haven't been slagging emery all the time. Infact i have been praising him more than bashing him since he took over but i'll admit he wasn't my first choice.

My coach of choice was tuchel. Everyone had his choice. Majority wanted allegri i remember. I don't even remember anyone mentioning unai but when he was selected i said i will get behind the team and i wasn't even posting on this forum much i was busy so i don't know what slagging you are talking about.

Since Emery took over, i have constantly been saying that our problem, our biggest problem is to do with ownership and the so called self sustaining model rather than the coach. My opinions, whether you agree with them or not, have been consistent. You have every right to disagree with them but i also have every right to form them in the first place.

I can’t take nothing serious from a grown man who asked for his thumbs to be removed because people didn’t agree and he didn’t like it, no names mentioned 😂😂.
