@pedroelchileno GJ and trosaard together will bring in 50 million, maybe. More likely 40. Kvara doesn’t want to come to us. Gordon is the same as Martinelli

The first line of business before any thought of Nwaneri’s or MLS careers is selling Trossard and Jesus and getting Kvara or Gordon. That will make our front 6 Saka, Madueke, Martinelli, Kvara/Gordon, Gyokeres and Havertz with Dowman as the 7th man. Merino, Eze and Nwaneri can also provide cover for the front 3. This gives us incredible depth and posibilities. A CF should only be signed once a enormous talent or WC player is available.

Only at Arsenal could we be top of the league and closing in on the CL Semi but have a proportion of the fanbase that hate the manager I question whether some people actually want success at Arsenal sometimes. Would it wound their ego’s too much.

🚨 Arsenal are expected to listen to offers for Myles Lewis-Skelly & Ethan Nwaneri. Sources indicate they would look to recoup a minimum combined £100m for the pair & their sales would be ‘pure profit’ - a scenario that provides clear financial attraction. [@SamiMokbel_BBC]

@scoutingindoors This will make much more sense to say. If Arteta actually wins one of these trophies. Loads of other managers for big clubs haven't had nearly as much time and patience as arteta has had. While not delivering any results in 6 years. Calling that out is not disproportionate

@scoutingindoors @karthikadhaigal we’re tired of watching a manager isolate certain players again and then stick them in from the cold and expect them to play well. We’re tired of seeing him run the same guys into the ground despite spending over £900mil.

Oracle is such a terrible, evil, slime company it borders some sort of twisted black comedy skit. During the beginning of the Trump administration Larry Ellison discussed building some sort of super-AI system and said it would create as much as 100,000 jobs in the United States Fast forward, March 2026, Oracle lays off 30,000 people. 30,000 people is an absolutely insane number. Oracle sent out at email at 6am to 30,000 people which were selected using some sort "selective process", which was a computer program, or something, I don't know. You go online and see people who have worked at Oracle for over 30 years being terminated. People who have had great reviews, sacrificed for the company, ... someone there was terminated and began working at Oracle in 1993. 1993 - 2026 and then terminated by a decision from a computer program while the United States economy is already sliding into the pisser, with inflation, housing crisis, government assistance cuts, gas prices raising, and companies creating hiring freezes Then today it's announced Oracle has put in H1B requests for approx. 3,000 employees from overseas What a fucking piece of shit fucking company.

@RohanJivanAFC So you’re saying that teams with strong technical players can break Arsenal’s structure. If that’s the case, Barcelona with even more technical quality than Leverkusen is a real concern. Playing at Camp Nou won’t be easy. Honestly, I’d take a draw. What do you think, Rohan?

Early morning thoughts Rice summarised Leverkusen perfectly when he said ‘they can play out of the pressure really well’, whilst stressing the tactical demands of the contest, despite it not perhaps being evident to the naked eye. Even on Tuesday night where we did much better as a unit in picking up each Leverkusen player, they still managed to find ways through our block. But that’s just quality. Tapsoba, Grimaldo, the two in the pivot and the entire front three are very technical. If you have a cluster of techy players near each other, they’ll find ways, hence why we had to defend a lot more in the second half. It’s difficult to jump out immediately when they pin you in. This is where defending space becomes priority over defending the man. And this is when you need strong box defenders to be able to smell danger, make crucial blocks, headed clearances etc. Saliba and Gabriel were fantastic in this regard. Final point, this season, the teams who have been excellent at playing inside our block are Aston Villa (H & A), Brighton (A), Liverpool (H) and Leverkusen (H & A).

Early morning thoughts As I said last week, I rewatched the Leverkusen first leg and have a lot of thoughts. Here were some of my key findings from the game: - At Leverkusen GKs, Mazza, their nominal LW, moves laterally across the pitch, which occupies our RB. This leaves the entire channel free for Grimaldo to attack. They nearly caught us out here in the second half. Our RW must remain alert! - Their pivot players are constantly moving in settled possession; one of the two usually steps outside the block. This is to decouple our M2M pressure. - Tapsoba on the left hand side is right footed. Need to watch out for his passes that enter inside the block. - Their nominal 5-2-3 shape sees their RWB jump high as we funnel the ball towards our LHS. Regularly saw him jumping all the way to Hincapie. I’d like to see Calafiori start as I feel he will be better equipped to handle this. - When they are defending within the middle of the pitch, their pivot players don’t consistently jump out. Their LW however, Mazza, does as we play through our RHS. We can take advantage of this by overloading the ball side pivot player to allow us to access the half space, before feeding our RW for a 1v1. This is what we did in the second half with Madueke. Eze’s involvement on the RHS helped us overload the ball side pivot player. - That young lad up front looks flipping good. He can drop in and spin in behind!

@iewatt @themagic_tophat They’ve had quite a lot of injuries. Calafiori Saliba Gabby Saka Ødegaard Havertz. Even Gyokeres. Fortunate with no red cards but they are disciplined, like their manager.

@themagic_tophat The set piece effectiveness will wear off, bad luck and injuries will happen again. Player responsiveness to Arteta will change. It's also just extremely rare. I would say the squad is in a better position than the last two times Liverpool won the league, so there is that.

There are so many toxic Arsenal “fans” on here who call for Arteta to be sacked every time we hit a snag. The stats speak for themselves though. He’s getting unparalleled results, with the lowest resources across the top 5. This run in; just back him & the team no matter what.

Michael Manley’s love for Jamaica, and his friendship with Castro, is why the CIA destabilized Jamaica. They did it by sending in an “economic hitman” (there’s a documentary about it on YouTube) and by arming inner-city youths with guns, which helped spark a bloody political election. Before that, there were no guns in Jamaica, and the Jamaican dollar was equal in value to the U.S. dollar. That eventually cascaded into a CIA-backed drug trade involving Jamaican gangsters who were given visas to New York. This later fueled the “Posse Wars” between Black American drug lords and rival Jamaican factions (Shower Posse and Spranglers Posse). There’s also an episode on the show American Gangsters on this. Shower Posse alone were responsible for 1500 murders in NY and Miami in the 80s during the height of the drug trade. Some of those same factions were also involved in the attempted assassination of Bob Marley, shooting him several times (Jim Brown is the culprit. Long story on him, who the government ended up double-crossing and killing). Bob Marley was pushing unity and peace in the midst of the CIA orchestrated political violence. Right as he planned a peace concert between the two warring political factions, he was shot the day before the concert. A plot to silence a respected voice who the people would listen to. The violence and destabilization of so many Third World countries isn’t accidental. It’s often a system engineered to create dependence on the United States, steal their resources and keep people focused inward, fighting each other, which ultimately weakens both the population and the country itself.

The Great American Migration (quietly) has started.🇺🇸➡️🇪🇺 More and more Americans are not just talking, they’re actually leaving. Not tourists, or digital nomads for a summer. Families. Retirees. Students. Remote workers. Not expats. A migrants from America. Main destination? EU, yes, the “commie” EU. Portugal, Spain, Germany, even Eastern Europe, like very secure Poland with roaring economy, places Americans used to vacation in are becoming places they move to. Why? Healthcare. Cost of living. Safety. Politics. And something deeper, MAGA exhaustion. For the first time in modern history, the U.S. is not only a country people run to. It’s also becoming a country some people quietly walk away from. No dramatic headlines. No caravans. Just plane tickets, residency permits, and closed chapters. You can argue about why. But you can’t pretend it isn’t happening anymore. Partial source: WSJ

@billycarpy Honestly hilarious how we ran Tierney out of the club because he couldn’t invert, and then concluded actually we need a touchline LB to properly platform Trossard and Eze. 🫠

Eze usage 😍 "I've started to understand how we're going to get the best out of him now." — Arteta With Hincapié playing, you can get 90%+ of this at LW from him, btw. And you get Ødegaard, too.

@MuniruMagomu @Wanalyst007 Martinelli and Gyokeres together are a bad combo. They both want to run in behind. But against a low block there is nowhere to run in behind. Play orchestrator types like Trossard and Eze in the LHS to play 1-2s

4 different timestamps from the 1st half last night where Arsenal had 68% possession Look at how many defenders Wolves have behind the ball. Look at how minimal the space to operate in is Knowing the strengths/weaknesses of Martinelli (runner), Gyokeres (runner) and Timber (defensive FB/CB), what do you expect them to do here? Answer is - nothing of value Most Martinelli can do here is spam blind crosses into the box Most Gyokeres can do is pin the CBs and try to create extra space btl Most Timber can do here is pin the FB/CBs to create some space for Noni The first half (like most other first halves against low blocks) we had total control of the ball. Our play was controlled, slow and methodical while Wolves sat deep This is the gamestate to use your tekky small space attackers. Eze, Trossard & Jesus thrive in these scenarios. They were all available and they were all benched For Arsenal in the Prem, space only opens up in the final 30' because of the respect other teams show us. This is when play gets stretched and the type of gamestate where Martinelli & Gyokeres shine Why do you think they look completely different players in the Champions League or when they come on as finishers? Starting all our runners mean we cannot break down low blocks or build momentum in the 1st half. This negativity seeps into the second. When space eventually does open up, all our runners are tired and usually substituted for tekky small space players who do NOT thrive in these scenarios Incredibly bad team selection and squad management by Arteta. And this was not the 1st time either. Must improve if we want to win the league
