The local police have put out an appeal to the local community asking if everyone could please not commit a crime between 8pm and 11pm this evening.

Someone has replied saying
It's a deal and could you lot refraine nicking anyone from 6am to 6pm tomorrow.

Love it 🖒😊😆😆.

Apparently there is a new bidder for taking over at Arsenal and she is able to offer The Kronkee's something money can't buy in oder to take control of the club.

The lady in question is probably the most famous Arsenal fan on earth and is prepared to offer Stan her extensive and prestigious London home in exchange for full control of Arsenal.

Not only is she a life long gooner also her grandson is too, and it's her grandson she wishes to run the club as he has suddenly found himself at a lose end and she feels running Arsenal will be a positive way of keeping him occupied plus she hopes it might encourage him and his family to return to the UK to live and unite the family which has been going through a bit of a difficult period lately.

No this rumour is not from the usual tabloid media and I didn't read it on twitter or Facebook, it was written in my tealeafs this morning and compared to most media outlets the teanleafs have a pretty good success rate.

Oh and if the deal goes ahead Stan is going to demolish Buck house and build a Walmart.

Apparently City are surprised by the talk of us announcing Artetta as our manager when we haven't even spoken to them and agreed compensation.
Whatever has happened at Arsenal we used to be so prim and proper in how we conducted our business.

This could be because the way they poached our players in the past. Pay back I guess.


2.) 19 Dec 2019 12:48:18
I doubt it but if so how old is josh 5?
City have well moved on from the Mark Hughes buy Arsenal days and have no interest in any of our players now days.
I'd incompetence was the more likely explanation than pay back.

I'm not sure if Emery can't or won't change his ways but either way it's plainly obvious his ways his methods his tactics just aren't working at premier league level.
What would be the point in continuing with Emery few more games or weeks! What is going to suddenly start working that hasn't worked upto this point in time?
9 points over 26 games isn't impossible to make up but neither will it be a formality for a new manager either.

There are absolutely no guarantees that if we change managers things will suddenly come good but there is a genuine possibility they might under a different manager that simply doesn't exist under Emery.

We have a squad that has the quality in abundance we just need someone who can organise and motivate them into a cohesive team that functions to its full potential.
There is no logical reason to carry on with Emery, I've read people saying the club don't want to pay his compensation money and would rather let him see out his contact to save what a £3 millions pay off?

But that's just people being negative towards the board because I'm sure Josh and Co are more than capable of working out the financial loss of champions league football money v £3 million in compensation without the need to consult the world's greatest mathematic brains first.

As usual, nothing to disagree with from G62. I have little faith in the board to act decisively. They have a history of dithering and fiddling while the team burns on the pitch. As you said elsewhere, the only language they understand is empty terracing. I would rather listen to us lose on the radio, than freeze my arse off sitting at the Emirates.

I would love to be wrong, but those hoping for a sacking on Monday. I wouldn't hold my breath.


2.) 10 Nov 2019 15:08:24
Hi Urban mate I think you've got it bang on, vote with you bum if your not happy and spend your time doing something that does make you happy until the club team and manager give you reason to feel they are your best way of spending your time and money again.


3.) 10 Nov 2019 19:24:06
I just don’t know how emery is making Managing Arsenal look like a difficult job? This season I honestly couldn’t tell you what system we’re playing. Yes Wenger was dated, but you knew what you was getting. A team trying to play possession football until an opening presented itself. Against Leicester, we couldn’t even string 5 passes together. No one knew where each other are, we got strikers playing like wingers, playing so deep against a team that plays with 1 striker. Emery isn’t connected to his players and he’s not connected to the fans. Sack this tactical fraud, leave Freddie in charge til we can get a manager with a clear vision.


4.) 10 Nov 2019 19:43:08
It's true ice mate we have no identity no structure no Arsenal way of playing that the players can get they're heads around and become comfortable with and most importantly good at.
Every game a different starting 11 a different game plan a different formation what chance do our players have? And of course they are only human so are naturally becoming deflated and losing interest and motivation to simply indulge yet more nonsense.


5.) 11 Nov 2019 09:58:15
Icy, you are so right. It was embarrassing watching us play what amounted to a back five against a side with a lone striker. And Gunner, spot on about identity, we don't have one at all. We even had one under Graham, albeit based on grinding opponents down and a very flat back four with their hands up every five minutes. I watched Liverpool yesterday afternoon, and even with some (one) lucky breaks, they looked every bit the finished article where we look pedestrian. The worst of it is, our front three/ four are the measure of anything Liverpool have got. But the rest is disorganised, poorly deployed, and yes, lacking any kind of identity.

The papers (I know) are this morning reporting the boards confidence in Emery. If true, I'm not surprised. Of course, we don't want a trigger happy board, but one season, and a third of this one, is enough to know. It could be a long frustrating season.


6.) 11 Nov 2019 10:25:20
In a game that’s about numbers and statistics, I’d be curious to know which one Emery is impressing in, that’s keeping him in that seat.
Ed any inside news on what’s happening? I just can’t accept the board are content with him because under him, Speaking statistically, we won’t challenge top 4 and we don’t want to bank winning Europe when we can’t hold a clean sheet.

{Ed002's Note - It was a mistake brining him in and as I said he was far from first choice. The club has gambled financially on getting in to the top four come the end of the season, and that remains the primary target. It is difficult to see anything happening before the summer when I suspect there might well be a change.}


7.) 11 Nov 2019 10:54:47
The papers are all quoting Ormstein Urban mate so it's a highly credible that is the boards position.
I'm pinning my hopes on the board using Ormstein as a deflection tactic and going to surprise us all as they did when they let the papers run with the "we only had 40 million to spend" story all last summer then bosh! broke our transfer record :-) I know it's not a theory you'd want to put your house on being correct is it :-) ?
Like you said yesterday mate vote with your bum and if your not happy with what's being offered simply don't accept it and find a more enjoyable way of spending your time and money, 20,000 empty seats is an extremely difficult fans message to ignore for long.


8.) 12 Nov 2019 06:49:18
I'm with you 62 fingers crossed 🤞.

Arsenal and Chelsea have agreed an 8 million fee for David Luiz and Tierney will complete his 25 million move today also.

So pleased for everyone connected with Arsenal football club ????

2 seasons ago we lost to City but pundits were full of praise for how our young team gave City a much tougher time of things at the Emirates than they were used to getting, lots of people predicted better days ahead for our young guns.

Last season we took 4pts off City getting well deserved win at home and a well deserved draw away

This season we went to City and despite playing more than half the game with 10 men only dropped 2 points due to a late City equaliser in the very last seconds of the game. And then of course there was today ?????.

We might not be the finished article quite yet but only our harshest critics would deny how far we've come in the last 2 and half seasons, few Arsenal fans feel the need to watch big games from behind the sofa these days, in fact most Arsenal fans are sat up bold and proud on the sofa and absolutely glued to their screens during games against the likes of City and Liverpool.

Hey gunner mate, hope you are well geeza, what a game and performance from the team. I felt they needed that beating from us. Loved every bit of the game and the way we controlled it even we they had possession.
And hats off to our 2 young and academy goal scores. These 2 have a bright future ahead of them and I love that they are showing class and love to our club.


2.) 03 Feb 2025 07:56:52
Hi Moe mate, how you doing?

The team were awesome yesterday and our two teenagers? Absolutely incredible how good they are and how much maturity they show at such a young age. I try not to get too carried away to soon by player's who come through our own ranks but these twi are actually there doing it in the here and now at the very top level. It actually takes a bit of believing just how good they are ????.


 

 

07 Jan 2025 18:17:03
For you personally

Would winning the league cup and finishing 4th be progress or regression on the previous two seasons of 2nd place and no silverware?

It's not about right or wrong it's simply about how and what each of defines progress.

gunner62

1.) 07 Jan 2025 19:00:43
For me personally anything below 2nd place would mean a moving further away from the being the best of the best but I accept there are no trophies for those who come second in any competition.


2.) 07 Jan 2025 19:09:08
Regression - it's the reserves cup. I hope we win it, good way to build momentum and confidence at winning, but it's hardly a big prize.

Decent lineup tonight, COYG!


3.) 07 Jan 2025 19:15:03
I don’t know if this is for me as you’ve mentioned no name! Unless you win the league then 2nd 3rd or 4th I personally think are still losers as you havnt won the title, I would take 4th and one of the cups we are in yes its a trophy I want my team to win trophy’s! i'd rather win the title but you asked a question about 4th place and a trophy which I would take, we would still be in the CL and have a trophy which I think is better than second and nothing, but that’s just me.


4.) 07 Jan 2025 19:51:07
The question was meant for absolutely everyone who wished to reply but not intended for any pne person in particular.


 

 

04 Jan 2025 23:28:55
Personally I think the penalty decision was correct.

Firstly it took motd to show 3 different angles in slow motion before I could see any contact of the ball and Saliba and secondly the ball appeared to hit Saliba rather than him win the header, and although there was no intent from Saliba to impede his opponent it obviously did. Very unfortunate but I think the ref made the only decision he could make in real time and slow motion I think his decision was correct.

gunner62

1.) 05 Jan 2025 07:55:35
Not a pen for me. Never in a million years has anything like this been given as a pen. Ref can make incorrect real time decisions, but that's why we have VAR, right?


2.) 05 Jan 2025 08:21:42
Having said that, we didn't deserve to win that game. Really bad second half from us and a really good, intense second half from them.


3.) 05 Jan 2025 09:23:11
Just seen it for the first time and if that's a penalty then I am afraid football is going further down the n nonsensical table.
Watched the Spurs v Newcastle match.
Similar incident where Anthony Gordon ended with a bloody nose but wasn't a hint of a penalty.
Having said that our performance was below par especially 2nd half.


4.) 05 Jan 2025 10:35:11
Hi Bill for me the Brighton player gets there first and the ball hits Saliba head while Saliba is propelled by his momentum and head's the player rather than the ball a split second after the ball has already been won. It's extremely unfortunate and totally unavoidable but stil it prevented the Brighton player from continuing his movement.

One of those absolutely no fault things that do very occasionally prevent a potential goal scoring opportunity in the penalty area which i'm my opinion means it has to be a penalty. I totally accept most people including the entire motd panel see things differently to me but we can each only call it as we personally saw it.


5.) 05 Jan 2025 12:22:29
I also thought it was a penalty.

Didn't we get one recently when the opposing goalkeeper punched our player in the head after our player won the header? This was a bit similar to me.


6.) 05 Jan 2025 12:42:01
Brighton player won the ball and his momentum carried him into Saliba.


7.) 05 Jan 2025 14:03:09
Hi SW I agree both player's were carried by momentum and because of this were equally unable to prevent the clash of heads but for me because the Brighton player got there first and won the ball it has to be a penalty. It's one of those very rare things and I believe lots if not most refs in the instant moment would have come to the conclusion it was a clash of heads and not awarded the penalty but we were unfortunate to have a ref who in my opinion got an instant decision correct

If it was a tackle on the ground and Saliba got there split second late there would be no debate about the penalty because the other player won the ball and Saliba impeded his progress and whether it was accidental or deliberate would not come into it and to my knowledge the fact that incident happened in the air apposed on the ground doesn't change the rules. I could be wrong of course but that's what I believe the rules to be.


8.) 05 Jan 2025 14:31:50
Hi Ice mate, I was a strange one but I do believe by the rules of the game it was a penalty. Sometimes these rare things go for you and sometimes they go against you that is and has always been how football works out.

{Ed025's Note - it was a pen G62, he got to the ball first and saliba caught him afterwards mate, whether it was his head or his foot it makes no difference mate im afraid..


9.) 05 Jan 2025 15:13:17
But Gunner, if he had kicked the ball and his own follow through kicked saliba, it wouldn't be a pen. To me that's the question, and from the angles I saw it was the follow through that caused the collision. it was a clash of heads.

Anyway, these decisions will happen, and if we aren't good enough to overcome one goal that's on us.


10.) 05 Jan 2025 15:42:40
I totaly agree Ed025 mate, the rules are the rules and it is what it is. It's very unfortunate but personally have no complaints whatsoever about the decision.

{Ed025's Note - it was not the ref who cost you that game G62, it was the lack of a cutting edge im afraid mate..


11.) 05 Jan 2025 15:57:12
Hi SW mate on the first two angle motd showed I genuinely couldn't see where Saliba had any contact with the ball at all so it looked an unquestionable penalty to me and even on the 3rd angle the ball makes contact with Saliba apposed to him making any conscious contact with it. Although I do see what your saying about the Brighton players momentum carrying him into Saliba I personally still think it's a penalty, albeit an extremely unlucky one to concede given there was nothing Saliba could have done to avoid and he absolutely had to go for it, I'd have been extremely upset if Saliba had pulled out of the challenge so I 100% commend his bravery and commitment to the shirt and deem him nothing but extremely unlucky to concede it.

Hi Sy mate, the first part of my post is meant 100% in humour and fun

2 months ago you said City were too far ahead for us to possibly catch even at the start of November and then 2 weeks ago you said we were miles behind the top 2 (Liverpool and Chelsea) and we were now playing for 3rd place at best.

Part two of my post is meant 50% in humour and 50% in hope, please please please can you write a post about how we are so far behind Liverpool even before January arrives that runners up is the very best we can possibly hope for.

You are inadvertently fast becoming the secret weapon that might yet just propel us to the title mate cone May mate ?☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️????.

1.) 30 Dec 2024 23:56:02
Liverpool are untouchable with their speed of attack, cutting edge with Salah who never gets injured plus a manager is is tactically on another planet. Their squad is deep and they are able to play a consistent team due to lack of injuries. There’s zero chance of a blip and with our inept play you don’t need to worry about catching them. They will be streets a head come Feb 1st plus City will be back in the game. I can’t remember thinking Chelsea will beat us but 3rd is more likely than 1st. We have ZERO hope of catching them with Arteta, Kai, Jesus, Sterling, Jorginho, Trossard, Martinelli and Zin anywhere near the starting 11 while Saka is out till April. We only score via Saka and corners - a new striker won’t make any difference as we don’t create chances. So don’t sign a striker Arteta - sign another defender and inverted FB or even better a player no one else wants because you are a genius. We have zero chance with Arteta catching Liverpool.


Hope you have a super NYE tomorrow bud.


2.) 31 Dec 2024 09:05:01
Top man Sy, thank you

I'm now quietly confident we will be top of the table by April ????

Happy New year mate ?????.

Hi OCB mate, speaking of 10 years ago, that was the season of the Liverpool and Arsenal fans mutual love in on this site ?

We coincidentally met Liverpool in the FA cup that season too, I remember Liverpool fan Ken changing into his lucky pants at half time during that game ??? some absolutely brilliant banter took place that season with Dags Jenny Taylor and Ken amongst many msnh others. Happy days, hey ?.

But if the manager has promoted someone above you and clearly prefers him to you, how can you possibly fight for a place?

It certainly appears that MA wants Raya as his number one.

Yes Ice I agree, I'm not a big fan of Rotation rotation rotation as I believe playing a regular setled side is where good understandings are formed but when so many players have proved their ability it's good to be able to rest players where they only have to play twice a week occasionally rather than on a regular basis.

I personally think everything that is happening and has happened this season has brought long term benefits and if we can somehow be champions this season of all seasons then what the future might hold for our team is a very exciting prospect to consider. Personally my happiness and respect for our current team isn't 100% dependent on us finishing top but to do so would most definitely be a wonderful cherry on top of the cake ?.

Hi Ice mate, we have to go with what we have and somehow find a way with the players available, just as we did yesterday. We have been unfortunate with injuries but into each life a little rain must sometimes fall, it's all part and parcel of football, but looking on the bright side without those injuries would Nwaneri and Skelly have got the game time to show just how incredibly good and how ready they are, and without Kai getting injured we'd never have known Merino could do a job for us up top.

Sometimes we learn far more when going through a tough patch than we could possibly learn when everyone's available and the team is firing on all cylinders. Longterm the biggest problem I see is when everyone is fit whos Arteta going to drop?
