Would you be kind enough to give me a definitive list of words and phrases which are acceptable to you?Originally Posted by SWv2
You'll notice I have refrained from calling you names, such as small-minded bigoted thick Paddy. That is because I am fundamentally a better person than you. #wes

Oh come on Dutch ffs.
"I am appalled at what he has done to the football club".
He has a massive job of rebuilding to do and it would appear from the outside to be one where frictions and issues within the club hierarchy are not helping. In his short period the man who employed him has walked as has another man who made up the 3 man panel to select him.
The club as an entity is in a bit of a fúcking mess and to be honest given some of the injuries he is dealing with he has done a sterling job to have us even in contention for 4th which we are.
The Ozil situation is a mess and probably one of his making. The Ramsey one less so.
I take all you have said about the lack or apparent absence of a plan and will agree with you, but it is so early in his management to be setting off flares of alarm just yet.
Patience is key here as we have probably another 12 months before we know if he is looking like a succesful appointment or not.
The club is in a bit of a mess, I agree, and that's far from his fault. What I object to is the utter bóllocks we are seeing on the pitch most games. I'd rather watch MK Dons than us at the moment - and within recent memory, even when we weren't winning trophies, we were the hot ticket in town. People wanted to watch The Arsenal. People admired the way The Arsenal played football. Now the way The Arsenal play football is like Stoke without the fighting spirit. I repeat, I don't know yet if that's because he's a rubbish coach or because he is destroying to rebuild, but he has ruined the way we play and that offends me.
to be honest, sc, that stopped about 5 years ago.
Yes we scored the ocassional wonder-goal but we haven't played 'sexy football' for years.
The club level passes at work were always for entertaining customers; and from about 5 seasons ago we could not give the fúckers away. We still can't. And, there are regularly empty seats (including some of ours) around us.
The only time there is any demand for them is when we play both Manchester clubs, Liverpool, Chelsea and them. And maybe West Ham.
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
I can only guess there is a lot more to it than we all know.
A top level manager so bereft of apparent creativity yet he is being seen as going out of his way to exclude Ozil. Only once (Bournemouth away I think) has he made any utterance which could be perceived as negative about the German, the rest of the time we have been fed a litany of reasons related to illness and / or injury.
I am fúcked if I know what is going on but a manager being so obtuse in his team selection makes no sense to me and as such I have to believe other issues are at play.
Thing is Ozil is getting, and with respect to his Tweet over the weekend, making the headlines here but personally I see Emery’s biggest issue and the one that is causing me most annoyance is the defence and the general feeling of “what the fúck is going on”. Back 4, back 3, back 5. None of them really working and you generally don’t know what to expect when you look at a team announcement game on game.
The Ramsey issue where perhaps other players who are remaining with the club are being “prioritised” I can fully understand.
This is utter nonsense, we play nothing like Stoke and at times this year have played some of the best football I have seen in years. And if there is anything different this year on the pitch it is that we never capitulate. Even against Liverpool, down 5-1 with a few minutes remaining, we were endless pushing forward. Partly this is because we are clearly fitter, partly this is because of the style Unai wants us to play. Either way, the head down capitulations of the past few seasons under Wenger seem to have stopped.

Even if he has an omelette, I bet it won't be baveuse. It'll be one of those awful American things you could sole your shoe with.
I'm currently all about the crispy Thai omelette. With mussels. Where you kind of deep-fry the beaten egg. #chillisauce
