that free kick vs Hull :bow:
As Hail Mary as you could get imo
Santi would've been well aware of that already, imo.
It's like me telling a hound which way to turn a hare; naturally, I take the credit if it works but if the canine wasn't already fully abreast of the hare's priorities and subsequent likely behaviour, it would have had no business calling itself a hound in the first place.
Having geared myself up for the excitement of the daring appointment of our former dashing number eight, a player I admired greatly, I have to admit to being slightly disappoint.
However, this fellow did well with his former clubs, and has the advantage of experience, so I am optimistic that he will be a good appoint.
Perhaps we could hire Mourinho as interpreter.
He failed to win the league with PSG one year, a. Now I don't want to be harsh, but surely it's harder to avoid winning the league with PSG than it is to actually win it?
Also, Sevilla went a whole season without winning away. A whole season.
Also, we will be his 7th club in 12 years. He is a butterfly or, to put it another way, a ****.
These things all combine to distress me.
To be fair, appointing a man who's literally never managed a football team in his entire life to manage a club the size of Arsenal would always have been a bit of a leap, wouldn't it? There's a difference between 'bold' and 'utterly foolhardy' at the end of the day.
Maybe we can get Arteta in as Emery's No.2
Hashtag Solution
Actually the cost of the new stands at Highbury was an immense investment at the time. Of course things have changed but the point is simply that Arsenal have appointed unexpected managers before. If you want to dismiss that by saying that actually, no, football was invented by Sky in 1992 so nothing that happened before is relevant then so be it. :shrug:
The problem is that, in financial terms, football very much did begin in 1992 when the Sky money came rolling in. That is absolutely the watershed moment when the scruffy, parochial game played on mudheaps we all grew up with ended and the gleaming, international game we all now pay Sky a small fortune for started. You could say the 1990 World Cup was the turning point, but in real terms, the Sky deal changed everything. The English game before and after that point are so dissimilar as to not even be worth comparing.
