Haven't we always trained on the pitch the night before foreign matches?Originally Posted by WES
Some decent points in the article but that one appears a little generous.
I was reading at the weekend how he likes us to train the day before a game at the exact time of kick-off the following day and for home games said session is on the Emirates pitch.
Still you know, new manager new ideas. Hardly rocket science stuff.
Man City Academy has different sort of grass pitches (3) that they train on depending on who they are playing.. do it to match the surface that the other team uses....... out La'd la there

Also, we've played a real bunch of sh1t since he lost his first two. Mind you, it seems increasingly clear that there are only six decent sides in the league at the moment.
Are you counting Wolves or Man U as number 6

As a great man once said 'Ask me in May'.
9 wins in a row for a new manager including a few away league games is not to be sniffed at irrespective of the sides we have played. The Chelsea game is really the only one so far we have managed to allow slip away. Next up we have Palace and Leicester which if we won both would take us to the Scousers and a more serious test.
The post-Fulham euphoria is perhaps excessive however it is also understandable.
Is it churlish to wish there were a few more clean sheets in among that lot, though?
There's not too many rock solid defences about anymore, imo. Not just us. Because of all the attacking quality available, especially at the top but even further down the table, it seems there's an acceptance that the opposition team will score; with your "apparently" better players, you just have to score more.
We won the league in '91 allowing just 18 goals; Manchester City, despite dominating last season, let in almost thirty, I think, which seems about par recently.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Yes, ridiculously churlish.
The man has been in the job a few weeks. He has a whole squad, indeed a whole football club, to get operating in line with his plan.
If, at this point, we had lost 4 and drawn a couple, I wouldn't have been in the least surprised.
This bloke may turn out to be utter mince, but to suggest that he is doing anything other than remarkably well at this point is Cascarino-esque.
You’ve made Arsene cry.
