Never mind the Fan TV troglodytes. Arsene has now been bantered off twice in a week
by Besnik Hasi and Gary Monk.
What if Louis slams some ****housery on him next game? 7-0? :-(
-
His contra temps with Merson was regrettable.
Or at least the manner in which it was delivered.
Of course Merson is a bit of a f**king eejit but I do think Arsene could and should have handled it better (based on the bit I read).
-
"contra temps"? You've changed SW
I agree though, he should've just ignored the born-again chelsea fan, he's clearly retarded.
-
tbf the fact that Arsene has stayed quiet for 16 years on what a pain in the arse Merson was to
manage is quite impressive giving some of the witterings from the challenged one
Still one of my favourite ever players though (Merse not Arsene, who a leetle bit short of quality)
-
I am upping my game.
To give the lad his due credit I think the Splendor of Arigone has upped the level of word****ery on here to a new level.
We all need to step up.
-
It's quite odd how most of my favourite players from then are clearly mentally subnormal
Wright, Merson and Adams all seem developmentally challenged
-
It's true, I'm amazed Arsene didn't tell him publicly to f**k off years ago.
The lad is clearly both bitter and simple.
-
I think it was the appearance on Newsnight Review that changed you
Sad news about splenda getting done for speeding though.

I think Boro holds him back shouting "Leave it Arsene, he ain't worth it" or the
Bosnian equivalent.
How was the rugby on Saturday?
-
I have no idea what Merson did or did not do tbh.
It was more the comments that came out in the interview where he dismissed the comments and views of any person that had never managed which I found pitiful.
There is a way to deal with these things, the so called "class" that so many people cling to and dearly love to beat others with due to perceived lack of.
Arsene could simply have said he (Merson or others) were entitled to their views while simultaneously absolutiely ignoring them.
-
I'd leave Adams out of a list of irritants as he seems to just pop up now and then
the other two seem to be omnipresent
-
What did you think about the rugby performance? I thought it was
A decent first half although we did the usual ****ting the bed close to the try line.
I don get the Brad Barritt selection. Your centers need to be more than just a tackling machine.
-
I started my second pint at 10:39. After the match I became lost and wept openly.
I had to call my wife to find out the score.
Later, I had a fight.
So yes, very good day thank you.
-
He's definitely 'special' though
Though more Sol Campbell 'I discovered the question mark, liberated the moon and singlehandedly invaded Canada' special than the other two.
-
On the whole I agree with you but the full quotes from Wenger were a bit more detailed than you
suggest. Namely he was picking out - for want of a better example - pundits who do a retard Rich and not get beyond saying such and such is **** and that is **** and he is **** etc etc with no ability to offer anything constructive. Merson's outburst was quite frankly beyond pathetic
-
But it's true. If you've not been a manager your opinion is worthless
-
-
Sounds a bit like my day tbh
though I didn't phone your wife ...
I think
-
But what about those journalists or writers that you woudl put on a pedestal?
-
Merson actually was a manager though, he managed Walsall
And he'd played under Harry, which is like a football management university
-
Merson always conveys the subtelty of a charging Rhino at 40 paces
but removing the emotion from his argument, had at least, a point to make.
AW, for all his cerebral intellect,offers very little in the way of culpability or a game plan to address the glaring problems that are laregly of his own making.
-
The ones I would put on a pedestal do not put forth opinions, as such.
-
It is a difficult one, because if Monty is right, then we have to take note of Paul Ince* for one.
*Name picked at random from a long list of failed managers. See also Stuart Pearce.
-
difficult one - surprised by the very negative reports I've read
Simply lost to a very good team. Farrell can f**k off though - I'm bored with him. Outstanding forward effort - very impressed with Attwood. Think you are a bit harsh on Barritt, he is a very competent rugby player aside from his defensive qualities. I think we have to be realistic and say our best centre pairing is him at 12 with Tuilagi outside him - all the others have talent but not consistency or their wea.
Then again my pre-match comment on the team was what f**king point was it picking a winger who can only go sideways and he promptly scores a great try within two minutes :-)
-
WD Ireland , England will beat Australia ..Wales might beat Fiji now hook back
though need to f**k that Rhys scrum half back to where he came
-
i had 1 pint at rugby..a pie and a pint.. and a Bratwurst before
-
Last season the only "glaring problem" according to most was that we didn't have a world class
striker.
Indeed, most were of the opinion that had we ought one the previous summer, we may well have won the league.
-
Agree on Farrell. I thought they would've picked Ford, especially with
Farrell not having played much recently. You have to wonder if Andy being a part of the coaching setup is having a bearing on his selection.
I guess we could see a Tuilagi/Burgess pairing :cloud9:
-
Arsene is ways too smart for that....he punched in the code for 30 extra lives...
-
I really hope Burgess comes through
6ft 5 and the skills of a Cipriani
-
Hope we beat South Africa first - Ireland were excellent
Kearney has certainly got his form back
-
It's a moving target m. You won't get very far without making a provision for change.
The manager enjoys a groundswell of support when things are going well and must therefore expect critisism when the opposite occurs.
It's a sport like any other and the same metrics apply concerning winning and losing. I don't understand why so many of us get so embroiled in the detail. It's not our place. We're fans with an opinion, which counts for very little with the players or managers.
You don't need to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the game to see what's unravelling.
Last season we were more stable at the back. Without those same players, we're far more weak and vulnerable.
-
The problem before that was that we didn't have enough English players :-/
-
And I agree with you about Folau - wonderful player to watch
-
But it's entirely possible that the root cause of our defence problems
is not in fact our defensive personnel, but the lack of cohesion upfront.
As a layperson you aren't in any position to know this. So your claim to be able to see with clarity "what's unravelling" is not credible.
-
Let's ignore their second goal then. You know, the one where one Swansea attacker was able to get
to a cross with four Arsenal defensive players around him while standing and gawping at each other :shrug:
Whatever arguments you may have about the forward play, that was an example of total defensive confusion.
Keown made some very vaild arguments on Saturday about our defence, by which I don't just mean the back four.
You may want to pause a moment and take them in.

Out of curiosity do you extend this black & white distinction to everything in life or just football
Food for example, given your recent embracing of fine dining.
I assume you completely dismiss the views of any restaurant critic that has never worked a full service in a top quality kitchen?
-
Keown has never managed.
In Monty's world his view or opinions are "worthless".
-
It is far too simple a statement from Wenger.
-
I'm not sure what you mean by "defensive confusion". Our second choice right back was beaten for
pace and then our fourth choice centre back was beaten in the air :shrug:
As for having seven men ahead of the ball when 1-0 up with 15 minutes to go, sure there are some teams who wouldn't get caught in such a position, but then there's some who would.
I remember when we beat Barcelona at the Emirates and they were bombing forward at 1-1. Check out how many players they had ahead of the ball when Arshavin scored.
The problem is not that we're not Chelsea. It's that we're not Barcelona.
Unless of course you'd rather we were Chelsea than Barcelona, in which case fair enough.
