Great playoffs I thought, all through.

 

Today’s game been good too, villa I would prefer back in prep but am impartial. Makes no difference who it is as whoever it is will be battling it out with us for survival in 2020.

Villa sucks 

Oh well. At least they won't get the shite kicked out of them by us next year.

So while we wait for the EL and CL final I see a lot of charity games were played the last few days.... Unite Old boy vs Bayern... one in France with football players and Rugby players and last night in Turin the annual partita del cuore (cancer fund raiser) football players and F1 drivers.. some wealthy Agnelli's.

And the drama in Madrid seems never ending, Ramos requested to be released as he got a very good offer in China.. Perez refused.

Well done Chelsea..besides for the first 20min or so they dominated and with some very pretty football too.

 

Really happy for Sarri.. all the crap he has to put up with esp from the media..shut them up

Regarding the camera angles last night, I thought the director did not use the best angles etc. felt a lil weird.

 

Guess that might have to do with the fact the stadium is not a purpose built football stadium.

Unai gonna be sacked. Dismal season.

 

 

 

I disagree on this. 

 

We finished higher on the log and with more points than last season. Unai has had a good influence on the culture of the club (not finished yet as we still don't have BMT as proved last evening and the final 5 games of the season when we had third place almost wrapped up) which has lead to a vibe / atmosphere change in the stadium and fan base. 

 

While we are still very far away from the top and with only 40mil to spend i don't see that gap closing next year, i think he is the right man for the job. I was begging for change since 2006 so i will give him a few more years before joining the axing parade. 

 

Last night's loss can't be completely put on Unai's shoulders. Yes he was naive to believe that Ozil would do anything different in the final to what he has done the past 2 season so therefore by selecting him he has to shoulder that blame. What he can't be blamed for is Kozzer, our captain being guilty of contributing to three if not all four goals and golden boot Auba not being able to put a single shot on target from his four attempts.  

 

As i said, a lot of work still to be done.

Yeah.. I agree I never understand this whole campaign people have with coaches out so soon.. he has been there 1 season.. good heavens give the guy time.

 

Just because you change coaches doesn't automatically mean instant success.. it is rare that that it happens in the first year or 2...very rare.

Well at the least one should improve on the previous coach otherwise why?

 

Wenger for years was the target of the wenger out campaign. People danced when he finally left halfway through a 2 year contract iirc. For what? This dros

 

Arsenal are the 3rd best side in a 10 mile radius. Their resources eclipse those of at least one of those sides who ain’t bought a player in a long time.

 

Comprehensively outplayed, no plan in sight am snatched a 5th from the jaws of 3rd.

 

Sorry, unai is the weakest link. Sometimes you just know some things ain’t going to work, leave early. Like Ole. Needs to go to

Can't agree - think they are just going through a bad patch at an inopportune time (missing Aaron Ramsey a lot) - if you fire the coach every time you go through a bad patch you won't get anywhere.

 

If I look at that squad to finish somewhere between 4th and 6th is about par, how many Arsenal players would be first choice in the teams that finished above them? My guess is about 2
