Arsenal (the fiesta is mouldy) thread.

Gee, took a bit of time to get that money haha

I was shocked by the score line. It was the youngest average squad age since Aug 2011.... We lost that game 8-2.

That's unexpected. Zeljko Buvac, Klopps No 2, rumored to mulling over an offer to take over from Arsene.

Does have a good relationship with our chief scout and knows about high press football.

Knows Auba and Mhyki well.

Liverpool have said he's stepped down for personal reasons. Unsure if it's for the rest of the season or not - I don't recall seeing a timeframe mentioned.

An intriguing link!

Well there goes that goodbye present with the europa league... sorry but you cant blame wenger for the 2 games... the players FFS...

This is probably NSFW language wise (swear words are bleeped out but still not kid friendly)



Aaron Ramsay would be proud.

So anyway now Arteta is a $2.50 betting favourite to get the gig.

Could be worse. I think Moyes will be looking for work in a week or so.


Arteta will eventually head coach somewhere. We have a half decent structure to support him so he has a chance to succeed.

Sokratis signing from Dortmund in a few weeks will also help our defence.

Unai Emery to be announced today as new Gaffer.

Steven Nzonzi transfer links in 3,2,1...

I think as soon as Tuchel turned them down a few months ago they started work on Emery and just used the Arteta links as smoke and mirrors.

Who would you have preferred?

Also, in the worst news possible... Santi Cazorla has left the club. Honestly one of, if not the, most enjoyable player to watch play football in my opinion. Didn't get anywhere near enough credit for the talent he had and the way he played the game.

Arteta needs a couple more years before taking over a big club.

Tuchel will get eaten alive at PSG. Ligue 1 will be a cake walk but how does he get the players to ramp up every second week for UCL games after training drills during the regular season?


I actually wouldn't have minded Conte, he was my sneaky favourite for job. Has the presence to replace Wenger and could get some passion into our talented but ultimately flawed squad. I reckon we would have won the league with him as coach.


Emery is a great coach tho. Happy with his appointment, he just needs to learn English very quickly.

You dont want Conte cause no way your board would sanction the signing of several 30 yrold+ on big deals. Conte will then spit his dummy either threaten to walk out or spend the whole season being a miserable ****

That strategy sure worked for him before though.

Some coaches just want to win now, dont give a toss about the 10 year plan.

Chelsea fans are literally the most fun group of people to discuss football with.

No matter who you are before you arrive at that club you will be tarnished when you leave by Chelsea fans alone. No one else will think less of you other than their own fans and it won't affect your job prospects but Chelsea fans will think you were rubbish no matter what you did whilst you were in charge.
Conte, Mourinho, Ancelotti, even Di Matteo have all been ran out town, after earning a poop tonne of money on wages and payouts, but are all respected elsewhere.

Conte will be the same.

[plague]

I swear Twitter replies were invented just for Chelsea fans.

Yeah no Chelsea fans hate RDM or King Carlo. Jose is a **** and continues to take digs at us even after the way we fans have respected him . And the facts I listed on Conte are 100% true so he can jog on.You can't talk either your fans treated Wenger like he was the biggest scum walking on earth and basically forced him out of the club

Yeah but thats not what our board want and Conte knew this when he joined the club and ignored it like an idiot

ok i can dig that. But y'all wanna be like Liverpool and have happy times yet no titles?

I'd take the asshole coach and a title any day of the week.

oh, and i BET you the board had no issues at all on the parade day.

[plague]

Yeah but thats not what our board want

just on this, generally 'boards' in all walks of life are reactive creatures and have less than zero innovation and free thinking amongst them.

its the Contes, Jose's, Fergies and Wengers that are the real reason titles are won and lost.
boards provide many more roadblocks than they ever contribute to success.
