Tierney, VAR, And Summer Tournaments
Jun 24th, 2019 by 'holic
Apologies all, I didn’t realise it had been a week since the last post, not that there has been much to write about other than the dreaded transfer speculation. The lack of apparent activity is probably due to the fact that the international players were, or still are, in action and having a deserved (or not!) holiday. There is another believable theory that any new signings will not be announced until the new Adidas kit launch, now just a week away.
Who might it be? I wrote of Yannick Carrasco a couple of weeks back. All has gone quiet on that front, interestingly. The rumour du jour is that we have bid from £15-25m for young Celtic left-back Keiran Tierney. The Glasgow club are said to be asking for £40m for an inexperienced player with a poor injury record. They won’t be getting that from us!
I see from the drinks that a number of you are following the Womens World Cup. Me too, and I’m finding it largely enjoyable other than the antics of the Cameroon team in the match against England, and the length of time the referees are taking over some VAR reviews. I thought the FA were making improvements in the Cup matches where it was trialled last season. Usually quick and as the competition progressed they tried to give more information on the big screens to keep the supporters informed.
They have stopped short of what would be the major plus of such a system. Mic up the referees so we can hear what is being done. Rugby Union and cricket administrators trust their officials enough to allow that. The FA it would seem do not.
The other thing I would do is to make the offside law more straightforward. It seems harsh that your uncut toenail can be adjudged to be offside. Let’s go back to there being clear daylight between the attacker and the last defender.
France have looked impressive in the tournament but face a test against holders, the USA, in the quarter-final. England too are getting results and improving as the tournament progresses, which is always a good sign. There still much football to be played, however.
I have also caught glimpses here and there of the Copa America. Those on the other side of the pond may care to agree or disagree with me that the tournament has yet to spark into life?
I haven’t caught any of the African Cup of Nations. Alex Iwobi impressed as Nigeria opened their campaign with a 1-0 win over Burundi. Maybe I will catch some of the latter stages of the tournament?
Finally I have a plug for another piece by Dave Seager in his Gunners Town blog. We are thinking on very similar lines for the coming season and Freddie Ljungberg’s appointment as a first team coach would look to be a shrewd move if we were to offer more first team opportunities to our best young talent.
Have a good week, ‘holics.

Thanks Danny. Much appreciated.
Evening all. England U21 just went 2-1 up against Croatia. 40 minutes to go.
The daylight thing was a myth though, it was a suggestion on how a linesman could decide on a quick one (ie if by the time the lino saw it, there was clear daylight he could reasonably assume the player was offside when the pass was made).
The more FIFA or whoever tries to improve these things they just make them worse.
Offside was very simple when I was growing up. Two players have to be between you and the goal when the ball is passed forward. When they started with all this ‘active’ and ‘second phase’ bollocks is when it started to go wrong.
Level should be offside IMO as it’s not two players between you and the goal. We wouldn’t be pissing about with “Oh dear, his knee is offside but the rest of him is on. So he’s offside” if you had to have two bodies between you and the goal.
Football was simple. It’s being destroyed by poor refs, poor changes to the laws and …. VAR.

Thanks for the post guvnor.
Time does seem-to have
slowed. It’s been like watching
Xhaka turn, you know you’re
in trouble but you hope that
somehow it’ll all be ok.
The offside rule will always
be down to inches no matter
how you change it and the
current one seems fair enough
to me.
Miking up the refs has
to come I think – it’s so obvious.
I wonder if the FA are worried
about the refs incompetence or
the image of foul mouthed ranty
players being heard – ignorant
fuckers should clean up their act.
anyhoo
really annoyed
i said i’d bottle mates cider
first one – proper from apples

any london ‘holics at the albert hall for Pete ?
Some of the refs’ voices must be so embarrassingly whiny or sissy the FA is trying to keep them out of the TV viewers’ ears.
Just a theory. Poor one at that. They are probably all baritones headed for operatic careers just as soon as they ref their last one.
I think OM@19 is on the mark about why the FA won’t mike up refs. He is also right that no matter where you draw the line, some offside calls will always be marginal.
Cant we just swap Carrasco for Xhaka ffs?
Or Ozil, come to think of it… Hmmmm
Must confess to being more than a little bemused at all the coverage and fanfare of the women’s World Cup. The level of football is Sunday morning park standard. I’m happy to laud equality but it has to be on the basis of something more tangible than blanket BBC love bombing.
Not sure all refs speak English or very good English but they should do in the Premier League! Cynic is right tge rule changes have spoilt the game. The new handball rules allied to VAR means chaos next season detracting from the game causing delays and disjointed passages. Another reason to dread tge new season.
More worried today about getting past the Aussies. I HATE this Aussie team with Scumbag Warner and the wimp Smith .
I’m convinced that the VAR thing is deliberate. Firstly with all the technology available there is absolutely no need to draw out the decision making as they do. They want it to spoil the show. Because Secondly, tv and media networks make money firstly from the match itself and secondly firm controversy caused during it, much of which centres around refereeing decisions. If you take this away, then that’s significant revenue taken away from broadcasters which will in turn be reflected in the next round of rights bidding. You can already see that the Premier League rights are no longer appreciating in value, an interesting corollary being Scudamores retirement and the premier leagues inability to find a replacement. Who wants to be seen as the chief exec who presided over the first fall of rights revenues since the PL was formed?
To us it’s a game. To them it’s a revenue stream. Unfortunately ne’er the twain….
Thanks for the updates Guvna. Caught the second half of the Lioness’ win over the Intolerable Lions. Good self control in the face of provocation and mass hysteria. Impressed.
Totally agree CER@ 32. Ridiculous and unnecessary fiddling with the Laws over recent years. Expect ‘spontaneous’ ad breaks during VAR windows shortly akin to the ad breaks during gridiron time outs.
So if Man City get chucked out of the Champions League, we get chucked into it.
I’m not holding my breath on that one.
@23
I am thanks cba.
Hale and hearty.
Until the next hangover
anyway.
Bath you may be on to something, god forbid! Spontaneous ad breaks may indeed be the true motivation of VAR. As Cynic might say, it always pays to be, er, skeptical. 🙂
England playing like Arsenal did in Baku.
Understand Saliba deal is done and he will be loaned back. That suggests that the £40 m budget is rubbish or Emery is being very generous to his successor . Suspect Koscielny will stay for one more season
TTG
Haha! I hope he is not being too generous, although he will certainly have to go some to leave the squad in worse shape than he found it.
I think the 40m was always crap, plus we will surely be selling a few players, or maybe a couple of astute swaps (Mustafi for Perisic, or Xhaka for a dust pan and brush)…
Cazorla racked up 10 assists for Villareal last season… blimey! That is a hell of an achievement!
So happy for him, hes playing again.
Dexter
I think the bulk of the deal must be being paid next season as well when we have the Adidas money kicking in. Osei-Tutu is joining Bochum on loan

I suspect ( as we now have Ben Knapper co-ordinating loans) that Bochum guaranteed Osei- Tutu regular starts. He is not likely at this stage to start in the Bundesliga. If I were him I might have tried to pick up some medals at Celtic !
As much as the club, board, owner and previous regime have all been criticised for not investing enough and/ir wisely I do hope we don’t listen to the bulkshit spouted in the media and over pay for Tierney. He is a massive risk.
Charlie Nicholas (who are generally agree on most things Arsenal related) suggested a fee around the €20m mark was about right for him.
We shall see I guess…
CBA
Love your work pal!
I think Bochum are a fairly big and well established club. Like Hamburg and others they’ve found themselves on the second rung of German football.
I will definitely be following them next season.
Milan throwing in Ricardo Rodriguez for Lucas now are they?
We were strongly linked to him a few years back, which is all these hacks need to make up a story.
We have also apparently identified Cabellos from Real as a potential replacement. I have only checked him out on who scored, so no clue if hes suited to the PL.??
I wouldn’t be arsed if we sold Torreira as I think we can get better options. However we would need to get a shed load of money for him, given the apparent desire of Milan to sign him. And wed have to have a top replacement lined up, no dawdling! !
But, seeing how we already need about 5 new signings, I’m not sure creating another need is sound business practice!
*summons Eric Morecambe*
.
.
“ARSENAL!”
I’m curious to see how
Torreira does next season
– will it be the dynamic
first half of the season CM
or the slightly knackered
looking one from the
second half.
I really hope the stories are
just media bollocks as I’m
hopeful it’s the dynamic one
and I agree with Dexter that
we’ve got enough on our
plate already.
I saw Jenks mentioned as a
makeweight in the Tierney
deal. Probably nonsense but
The Corporal could end up
with more medals than
anyone in the current
squad if it’s true!

Waffle from Ornstein that
we’d like to buy Zaha and
that Zaha would like to join
but we haven’t got the 80m
quid. It’s difficult for me to
get my head round Zaha
costing 80m quid.
There seems to be divided
opinions about Zaha so from
that point of view he’d fit
right in with our current
squad.
Thanks for the good wishes, holics. Much appreciated. Older but no wiser. A wee bit of a headache this morning to mark the milestone. I expect a few more neurones and hepatocytes have bitten the dust. Who wants to live forever? ?

The two transfers that seem
to have most substance at
the moment are Tierney and
Saliba, both defenders, both
young. I don’t know if they’re
good buys but it is positive to
mevthat we’re trying to sort out
our defensive woes and
taking a mid term view as
well.
Frankly the mess our finances are in surprises me as I had great respect for the prudence of Arsene Wenger. I never expected his legacy to be so hamstrung by poor financial mismanagement. But why don’t the board cop their share of flak too? It seems they have been absolutely useless and derelict in their financial duty . As for Ivan Gazidis…….
Looking at the plan to make us competitive with our rivals it lays in tatters. It’s such a difficult job for Emery to compete .
Stupidly pleased with the new home shirt, although if they offered it with the old badge on, they would sell far more of it…
“Tis a thing of loveliness though.
All we need now is a team fit to wear it.
A bit late to the party but – why bother with an offside rule at all?
No offside probably means more goals, no endless argument and var appeals and one less thing for hopeless linesmen to get wrong.
Back to the future.
UTA.
AC Milan have been banned from next season’s Europa League over breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
The Serie A club’s suspension from European football was announced by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
Cas ruled in favour of European football governing body Uefa which had accused AC Milan of violating the spending regulations.
“AC Milan is excluded from Uefa club competitions of the sporting season 2019-2020,” it said.
Man City next, then we go into the CL
Joy
We’ve been linked with Dan-Axel Zagadou from Dortmund.
I’ll take that all day long.
A back four of Bellerin, Zagadou, Holding and Tierney and we’d have a decent defence again.

there’s a joy to homebrew
but you couldn’t just start tomorrow
without serious outlay
temporarily donating bottles
to a friend
100 odds
hooch needs bottled
he’s no bottles
they are a FUCKIN EURO each to buy
he showed me
if you didn’t already have the cunts
they’re proper oul beer bottles
but a fuckin euro
away an fuck
a fuckin euro for a bottle
the fuckin contents cost considerably less
that’s the whole bastard point
a euro
.
.
fuckin ridiculous
i can make a delicious pint bottle
of treacle stout 6% for 70/80c
i did not have a bastard notion
the fuckin container cost more
than the fuckin gargle
just MAD
thank fuck i look after the equipment
ridiculous
a fuckin euro
i know the carboys and demijohns aren’t cheap
but i have them 30 odd years
30 very odd years
fuck
even a standard demijohn is pushing €10
my back kitchen is worth a fortune
clive or nigel or whatever earlier today
near shit when he saw and
WHEN I GOT HIM TO SHUT UP
and just listen
.
.
all the airlocks bubbling
they look and more importantly SOUND amazing
anyhoo
“hows that Arsenal workin out for ye?”
aw , grand , so
“anything strange or startling to report?”
naw , not so ye’d notice
having a really delicious pear cider just now
standard supermarket apple juice
but i put a tin of pears in the brew
it’s really really lovely
not my normal sorta brew
but i think this’ll be made again
think i musta put it on for herself
don’t really recall
it’s lovely
i measured it and it’s 6.5%
it tastes like fruit juice
think i’ll bottle this and carb it up
should be amazing
it’s nice when ye get a wee surprise
of a recipe
even though
now
im gonna look at the bottles and think
A FUCKIN EURO
.
.
i’m tight by circumstance
but predominantly by nature
i wouldn’t spend christmas
imagine
a fuckin EURO
.
.
i did hear about a friend of a friend
storage is a big problem for brewing
i’m always looking for oul crates off people
but this fella actually bought
a flat pack cardboard box
for a dozen bottles for twelve pounds
cardboard
i wonder did they ship it to him in a cardboard box
fuckin mug
*homer simpson voice*
“Rube”
d’ye think maybe
i’m just treading water
bullshitting the shite outta fuck all
till the football starts again
i dunno
did i ever tell ye about me ducks ?
well
they’re not my ducks
i’m merely permitted to live beside them
according to the geese
who are bullying but effective organizational bastards
it really is amazing
the ducks are very sectarian/racist/morrissey
they walk in line
but only and always by type
so you’ll get 4 of one sort
then 6of another then etc blaaa
all followed by the geese who allow
the ducks to walk about the place
out of the goodness of their goose hearts
they stand guard
and when they think everyone has had enough
the big fucker roars and
and the wee ducks get back
in their 4 brown ones 6 white ones 10 tall ones etc etc
world order long line and bugger off down the road again
it’s the most bizarre spectacle
and
the eggs that come outta their hoops are delicious
so it’s all the more amazing
.
.
a recent phenomenon
i will tell you about
whether ye bastardin like it or not
is
RABBITS
there’s literally
and i mean literally
HUNDREDS
of the wee bastards
everywhere
if i’m out walking early
it’s like the father ted episode
honestly
and they apparently don’t have
the fear human gene
cos they’ll barely bother their wee furry arses
to get out of yer way
the main man hates them
and so as not to waste
shotgun cartridges on them
he’s devising dick dastardly style
exits for them
most of them gruesome
they don’t bother me
but what do i know
they do have a lovely place to live
and by all accounts rabbits fuck all day and all night
regardless
but the main warren is up the side of a hill
but it’s by the ocean
so the entrances to their beachside apartments are fabulous
like a standard Irish golf course arrangement
so come back to mine
really would work for the young bugs about town
hence there being hundreds o the hoors
sharing the same
shear face are hundreds of sheep
the height and the angle of the cliff is astonishing
for them to be mooching about
occasionally one will fall
and it’s not a short drop
but despite the distance they don’t splat everywhere
which is a blessing for an early morning hungover man
cattle on the other hoof
don’t like an incline
they like nothing better than
standing four square munching
preferably munching and staring
they fuckin love a good stare
and when one does it
the whole bastardin rest o them
join in
Sheep plummeting over
a steep cliff to their doom?
I think you’re trying to
pull the wool over our eyes
but i’ll not be fleeced.
Whatever next? Nazi goose-
stepping geese?
but
as i’m sure i musta said before
cattle are dangerous
cows are big fuckers
the bastards scare the fuck outta me
they’re peaceful and calming to look at
if you aren’t in their field
if you are though
dem bitch gon mash you up
as the friesians would posit
osaka M
found a ewe yesterday
on the road
she’d fallolopped down the side of the mountain
and without getting too graphic
it’s noisy
sheep are big cunts too
i don’t like sheep
it’s perhaps corny
and silly to say
but they really behave
like sheep
don’t like them at all
loads a them around here
cos people like eating the legs of their children
so there’s money in it
and where there’s etc
i’ve never eaten mutton or lamb
fuckin don’t like the cunts wandering about me
so i certainly don’t want the cunts
moochin about on me dinnerplate
i’d be a big fan of cows
on me plate
great lump o steak
absolutely
i can hear the beasts from where i’m sitting
if i stood up i could see them
but i have no problem
reconciling all this with dinner
pigs
now there’s something that i know little about
bar the fact
they are fuckin really huge
aggressive and they stare at you too
in between snuffling and munching
and they stink
pigs stink
well
their shit stinks
they endeavour to distance themselves from it
reasonable i suppose
ye don’t really wanna be defined by yer dung
do ye ?
fuckin monkeyed on painkillers
not a fuzzy feeling i like
am on the cider too
but it’s an uncomfortable zooooom feeling
zoooooooooooom
na
don’t like it
nope
not
no
not interested
might go down the beach
past the rabbits and
the sheep
don’t like this
nope
dunno what this is about
stick to beer
*votes for beach and sheep but not rabbits*
votes twice for a nicely roasted
lamb??
Though my fat thumb might
have missed the lamb picture.
Baaaaa
That cider you made sounds well nice CBA!
I wonder if Scruz can help?
I’m sure you said Rob Holding should be back for pre-season? I’ve just seen an article suggesting otherwise! Its probably doom mongering twaddle…
beach was excellent 8ball
took my wee doobry down
and snoozed down there
as i say osaka M
never tasted lamb
love looking at the wee fuckers
playing poker
so i couldn’t eat the bouncy wee darlins
dexter
that cider was a revelation
not sickly
would fuckin flatten the unsuspecting though
six and a half is in the danger zone
before the 7% threshold
where yer tastebuds go
Hang on one bastardin wee minute
yer fuckin feedin me hardcore swally here
so i will drink accordingly
this stuff is fuckin dangerous
apricot jam wine
another big hitter
still not a sign of rabbits
despite my bullshit
not a one
saw a mink though
the main man will blow it to buggery though
soon im sure
interesting beasts
like posh ferrets
undulating sort of run
they fuckin savage the ducks though
don’t eat them
fuckin kill them though
maybe it’s for the blood
i dunno
but i’m guessing
i’ll see the furry wee fucker
by the side of the road
today or tomorrow
dunno why
but like foxes
they’re left at the side of the road
up on a fence post or whatever
it’s not like other mink
are gonna think
“d’ye know what ”
maybe it’s money
i left a mink out
a fox
both eating my poultry
pay me later
the carcasses must be worth something
i am unaware of a lot of stuff
i snooze on the beach
listening to I Roy
that makes me sound
like a posh gap year student
squeezing out a beard in bali
though it’d likely be bob marley
with them
me
naaah
all about I Roy
or indeed U Roy
wouldn’t be a bob marley fan

dexter@209, he was planning on playing preseason after a week in portugal with chambo on a pre-preseason workout.
he even told us to yell out to him at the munich game in july.

Uruguay out of the Copa
America, which I suppose
gives us Torreira back a
little earlier. Bitey missed the
key penalty after another
0-0 draw.
Torreira seems to have spent
a lot of time on the bench.
Thanks Scruz
Hopefully he will be in the starting 11 vs the Toon. And with Chambers in the team too, covering at RB perhaps…
Now for a flagon of apricot wine!!
Phew !
Just had the time, and confidence!, to do a complete back knird of all 219 posts !
cba,
sorry to hear you’ve rearranged all your finest features. Not sure how you managed it – i missed that somewhere on my careless jog through – but hope it’s starting to improve.
Good to see your spell of convalescence – and that is a very tricky spell – has not been wasted.
I would like to propose that posts 5-214 are repackaged and sent to Brussels as the “New Brexit Deal”. That should confuse the bastards into giving us everything we want – on pain of another 200 to come if they don’t !
Sheep are indeed stupid animals – your post 192 refers.
Before actually falling over the edge of the cliff, all the daft thing needed to do was a …… *begins drum roll * …. Ewe turn.
Thank you.
Ewe turn if you want to, Trev.
cha’s not for turning.
He’s just like Maggie.
Especially when it comes to nicking milk.
Makes some of our most horrific kits look class.
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2019/07/01/10/15474958-7200235-image-a-78_1561974371610.jpg
No happy Monday news so far.
No happy new signings unveiled
in our spiffy new kit.
Just bullshit stories on crappy
wingers. Here’s to Tuesdays.
Yayy! Zahas brothers, accountants hair dressers, aunts window cleaners grandmother says Wilf wants to be a Gooooonah!!
That’s good enough for me!
Unfortunately he signed an extension to a five year deal last August and is under contract until 2023, Palace want £80m+ for him and we’ve supposedly offered £40m.
So unless we can sweeten the deal with some misfits, we are far more liley to sign someone like Gary Cahill than Zaha.
Which would be fine by me.
Regardless of whether we signed him or not, it kinda suggests the idea of a £40m transfer kitty is bollocks.
Which is nice.
I am totally not worried AT ALL that we are going balls out to spend the majority of our budget on an attacker, rather than defenders…
Nope, not worried one bit, no sirree Bob…
Oh and I would be utterly underwhelmed if we signed Cahill…
Bidding £40 million for Duane Dibley (thanks Cynic) is a red herring. It’s an Ebay starting bid and we will never match the Palace evaluation because we can’t. It’s just bluff to look like we’re doing something when we most certainly aren’t. Just as well because he really isn’t all that good.
Cahill could be great or shit but Zaha is very underwhelming, I have to say.
Just as well it’s all cobblers.
Cahill has a whiff of Jonny
Evans about him. Anyway,
we won’t sign him or Zaha
so doesn’t really matter.
Nothing about Saliba or
Tierney which I thought we
might actually do.
Though a quick google shows
there’s still plenty of waffle
about Tierney.
Leno has taken the No 1 shirt,
which is logical enough. At this
moment we’re gambling a lot
on his fitness and form.
Cahill is free, experienced, English (if quotas still matter, I’m out of the loop on the Johnny Foreigner Rule) and a centre back so he ticks all the boxes.
There’s also that box marked OLD that he ticks, but I would argue he is at least as good as Koscielny, who people seem to think is worth keeping around even though half fit, and he’s the same age.
It’s a no brainer signing for a club with “no money”.
80m or anywhere near that is a joke! The market is more inflated than Piers Morgan and Donald Teumps egos combined!
Palace can fuck off getting all upset. They paid 6m for Zaha and are taking the right piss with their valuation of him, and the fact they stupidly agreed to the 25% sell on clause has nothing to do with wanting 80m I’m sure!
I hope it’s a smoke screen so we just get a few other players under the radar.
We’ve signed the next Cristiano Ronaldo anyway!! 🙂
Cynic
Isnt Cahill as slow as fuck? i think he would get found out in our set up. Koscielny is more suited, but only when he is actually fit, which seems less and less these days. Personally, I’d probably let Koz go. Provided we signed at least one CB!
@234
Some fair points and then
“I would argue he is at least
as good as Koscielny”
Welcome to Martinelli.
We’re not lacking in teenage
wingers.
Just an opinion but I think Koscielny is hugely over rated and always have. Simple long balls up the middle catch him out far too often, for example. Always have.
I’m going to say it. Our girls have done really well but the error rate in women’s football is far too high especially when under pressure. Our defence makes an enormous number of mistakes . To give you some idea they are almost as poor defensively as Arsenal …men
I see VAR is in the hands of a few Las Vegas boxing judges tonight…
Dodgy fucking decision!
I wanted the Dutch to win it anyway.
Well, I thought Kos was
outstanding and certainly a
different class to Cahill then
and an ageing now so we’re
miles apart ?
Kos is a far better defender than Cahil, although they’re very different defenders, in my opinion. I reckon they’d have made a good pairing!
Crystal Palace are so furious with Araenal for ONLY bidding a paltry FORTY MILLUON POUNDS for a half decent player, they are going to try and buy Jenkinson off us.
Morning all. Apologies for the lack of posts. The weather here in Cornwall is idyllic so I am making the most of it. Pretend I have written a piece this morning about the public nature of our negotiating for Tierney and Zaha, the new Brazilian wonderkid, and the Lionesses exit at the hands of USA. Carry on. ?
First then.
Now on to reading the piece.
Excellent topics Guvna. I can simply observe that the brief spasm of efficiency in signing targets last season clearly related to someone who has left the building and we have reverted to type in our transfer dealing. All very sad.
Pretend I have written a piece this morning about the public nature of our negotiating for Tierney and Zaha, the new Brazilian wonderkid, and the Lionesses exit at the hands of USA.
Would have been perfection as a new blog post 🙁
Holic,
I read it. Literary Viagra mate !
At least the cricket went well today
People can wax lyrical all day long about how tactically astute and what a genius coach Guardiola is, but as far as I am concerned hes just another Mourinho… albeit one whose teams play more attractive football…
He goes where the money is.
What a cunt.
Oh and erm, great post by the way Holic!!
Cahill would be a distinctly underwhelming signing but not quite in the putrid class of Jonny Evans. Close though.
Ewe turn is definitely a new low.
Ewes guys wanna deny it?
@bt8
No denying ewe turn was a
new low 🙂
I expect Trev will be feeling
a bit sheepish now we’ve
rammed it home.
Sometimes funny, sometimes not,
puns are always a gambol.
Our Brazilian “wonderkid” seems to be an absolute bargain at £3.82 compared to the £113,000,000 that Athletico Madrid have shelled out for his Portuguese counterpart. Unless he’s crap, of course!
Anyone remember Souness signing Ali Dia, supposedly George Weah’s cousin?
Lampard is the new Chelski
manager, I’d wish him luck but
obviously I hope he fails.
Chavs finished above us in the
league and won the Ropey and
still fired Sarri.
OMMmmmm
Lampard reckons he is going to “dangle the carrot”.
Dirrrty bastid.
Ewe lot can take the pea all you like but it seems Chelsea know ….
What we need is a younger, inexperienced manager who plays with his vegetables ….. please, this just has to go wrong ??
Mange-tout !
My old dog had the mange, Trev. Managed to eat all his veggies though, including the neighbor’s grass. Very popular he was, in some precincts.
Abramovich, or possibly his assistants, have appointed a large number of managers in the years he has been in charge of Chelsea, and most of them were very good appointments. While hoping for the opposite, I would be surprised if Lampard turns out to be different. Pleasantly surprised that they took such a gamble and risk when it turned out more experience could have been a good thing. The question is, does the whiz kid have enough know how or will he just be pissing into the wind? Squirting into the scirocco?
Some puns are bright and shiny while others are a bit more ewes’d.
‘Tis better to have punned and lost than never to have …
Alfred, is the tennis on?
Puns of steel…
ha !
well now thanks trev

I think Sarri chose to leave… he was offered the Juve gig…
Still, he may well have jumped before he was pushed.
I hope Fwank fails spectacularly…
I think you’re right Dexter.
I hope it all end in tears for
Frwankie and also Ole too.
I’ve never believed in forgive
and forget in football.
Osp to Napoli seems to have
finally been confirmed – I
suppose with the loan fee
this season we got a fair
price in the end.
And he leaves with an FA Cup
winners medal. Plus of course
my best wishes.
Though I suppose the FA Cup
winners medal may mean more
to him than my best wishes.
The damn ingrate.
After being linked with
Ceballos, we’re now being
linked with Vasquez at
Real. I wonder how long
until a Benzema story appears.
I actually wouldn’t mind
Ceballos – not that I think
he’s coming.
But we’ve a few options at CM,
mostly young, and maybe we
should have a look at them first.
My car goes putt putt right into the car park, or in Minnesotaese right into the ramp.
Good night’s work, cba not to mention able contributors Cynic and Nippomatt.
The first game of the season
has been pushed to 2pm on
Sunday. Hopefully, an hour
earlier start will help the
travelling faithful but not
sure about Sunday train services.
Used to be pretty shitty in the
90s but perhaps they’ve improved
since I’ve been away.
Or not.
Not much else even vaguely
Arsenalistic to ramble about
as we meander towards the
triple ton
Haven’t seen him play but based on the sum spent and the purchaser’s identity the best summer signing so far may be Rodri at Man City, apparently intended to be Fernandinho’s long term successor (?)
Good luck to the Dutch
in the final, be nice for some
Arsenal women to bag a world
cup winners medal.
Didn’t mean to slight Dexter or anyone else I may have missed. Chris, even.
hello bt8, hope all is well
with you
nippomatt??
Miedema may bring the Dutch good fortune.
Over the line like Oskar the dog. RIP.
Speaking of the tennis no wonder Trump is a golfer. Must get nervous when they start talking about court numbers, what with all the high crimes and misdemeanors
Sorry, Matt. 🙂 I could just call you Japan like cba does, if you prefer.
At mid-season in the realm of MLS the local boys, Minnesota United, have hit the heights of mid-table mediocrity with 27 points after a hard-fought win the other evening at home against San Jose Earthquakes. Minnesota keeper Vito Mannone (yes, that one) won man of the match honors. League best Los Angeles FC are on 40 points while first year club Cincinnati would be on a relegation course with 11 points if the league had such a thing as relegation.
Ex-Premier League faces dot the roster of many clubs across the league, and they say David Beckham’s new club Inter Miami, who begin play next season, is on the verge of signing Luis Suarez (of Ajax, Liverpool, Barcelona). No confirmation yet but I hope they are rewriting the rules on biting the opposition…
The ex-governor of Rio de Janeiro has admitted to helping pay a £1.6m bribe to secure the Olympic Games for Rio in 2016.
It must be pocket change compared to the money Qatar paid to get the 2022 World Cup and move it to winter.

Tim Stillman’s piece, “Fat of the Land” is worth a read, published by Arseblog on the 4th of July.
Enjoy your holidays Guv, particularly if the sun is shining.
Stateside tomorrow on ESPN Deportes, Spanish speaking only,
at 7AM on TV are Arsenal v Boreham Wood. Haven’t got a clue who will be playing. I’ll try see at least some of it. COYR
Anybody know what team we played or are playing against Boreham Wood?
Speculative article on the internets today about Fenerbahçe trying to finance a deal for Mesut Ozil. Wonder if they have asked Kroenke for a bit o’ his megacash. It could be a deal made in paradise.
A sign that someone at Arsenal is thinking about making a signing, and possibly more than just the Martinelli bloke: the official site has a quiz, “Can you name the last 50 Arsenal signings” and it was harder than I expected even with the clues given as to the date and the club each player was signed from. Sure sign we have made a lot of poor signings, AND that my memory is failing me.

The lack of a £40,000,001 bid for Wilf the Second – respect for Rostron, please – is reassuring, although had there been an actual release clause for Luis Suarez of 40 big ones, I could never see the logic in chipping in £10 mill purely for largesse.
Howevs, it seems the meeja are getting a touch uppity about us having the bare nerve to offer the piddling sum of £40 million for the erstwhile divey twat of this parish, presently known as Wilf (to his mates, i.e.us) Zaha. I think Zaha has improved hugely since his Mancy days but don’t know if he is a massive priority for us just now.
I just don’t seem to remember the meeja indignation at us tapping up Wilfy, when similar tactics were employed to try to relieve us of Messrs Fabregas, Vieira, van Persie etc etc.
Welcome back, Holic.
I await your post with interest . Hope you had a good one ??
Nearly sixty? Is that looking back through the mist or forward in hope? If the latter, yer a near teenager and that puts a great deal of your proclamations in sharper focus than a crystal glass of raspberry home brew.
I watched the game at Boredom Wood yesterday. No one on view is ready for anything other than bit part action in the first team, except perhaps a couple of the Boreham Wood defenders who could knock Mustafi and Kolasinac into a cocked hat. What is a cocked hat by the way?
Glad you’ve survived the challenges of the West Country, H. I hope you discovered some wonderful local scrumpy to wean you off that Oirish muck.

Nice to see thirteen years after moving to Ashburton Grove and thereby netting the highest match day revenues in the league we are almost able to compete with the likes of Leicester, West Ham and Wolves are outspent by Everton and are not in the same spending stratosphere as United, Citeh , Liverpool and Chelsea. We are also fishing in a very different pond to our nasty neighbours.
If anyone wants to understand the harm that Kroenke ownership and totally inefficient stewardship of the finances ( added to the ailing years of Arsene ) have done that illustrates it perfectly.
Looks like we are settling for Dennis Suarez lite in Lucas Vasquez when we really should be looking at Zaha and struggling to sign Tierney for the sake of a couple of million. The sort of bonus that Ivan used to take for his estimable services to the club.
Ok Kroenke doesn’t have to pump money into the club but if he’s a great sports entrepreneur ( and he isn’t ) he could at least make sure the club is run properly
