GWT: 2021-22 PL Matchweek 1

[phisherman]

We did the double against Chelsea last season.

Lukaku is going to have a field day against the CBs.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Emery was literal fox shit that you find in your garden. The fact that Arteta is worse than him is an achievement in itself.

Emery is clearly not a bad manager.

 

[Havre]

Arteta is just Guardiola without the money.

That seems pretty harsh on Pep, who I consider overrated but at least he has a vision.

 

[Chimaera]

Note I don’t think they’re going to get relegated. They’re too good. But they’re not in for top 4 at all. Not even close. A lot of what they have is also crap.

As for the manager, being Peps right hand man did make him desirable. Other clubs would have given him a shot if he didn’t get it there

Everton would have absolutely.

 

[Chimaera]

Arteta can’t lace Peps boots. And yes, he is a bit overrated.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Let the stupidity begin I guess

 

[AB13]

He’s horrendous. Flopped so so hard at PSG too. Lost the league to Monaco, and had Mbappe score 13 goals in a league season.

 

[Chimaera]

Everton would have absolutely.

Correct.

I think Spurs might have instead of Jose but I don’t know the timeline.

He might be rubbish now, but when he was hired he was on the short list for a few jobs and it was a matter of when not if.

I still think he has a flawed roster

[bluesfan94]

Who is paying for some of those top earners? They’d have to pay to make them go. We have also gone round and round on some of the players you think would come in. If there’s a better situation, they aren’t going to Arsenal. Heck, staying out and avoiding that dumpster fire might be better

Some of them have had interest. Xhaka could be in Rome now, for example. But yes, it would require an investment, too

 

[robertmac43]

AFTV is going to be a hoot tonight.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Or Saliba (this season)

Dude should just run down his contract.

 

[Live in the Now]

I'm not one to come quick to judgment but this Arteta thing is definitely not quick to judgment. He has the same dead man walking stench that Rodgers had in his last season with us. There is no way it ends well. Admittedly I do hate Arteta though. Guy is a prick. I feel bad for their fans but I am very glad he will fail.

Bald fraud except Arteta has hair?

Did Rodgers lose the dressing room during that time?

Thomas Frank is pretty psyched, as he should be.

 

[gary69]

At least Gladbach secured a draw today

Don't do this any more please as it has nothing to do with this thread. I started watching that match following this, and you ruining the result is a big let down.

 

[Live in the Now]

Did Rodgers lose the dressing room during that time?

Yep and he also accused the players of not wanting to play for him. And then they kept him through the whole summer and gave him another chance and he bombed. I believe he also claimed that every dressing room has the problems they were having.

Everyone knew he should be sacked but nobody at the club wanted to listen. In the end it worked out well anyway because Klopp wouldn't have taken the job in the summer.

I do have to say that I love that the Premier League is back.

So he’s not done anything impressive. Won the Europa League, a less significant trophy than a domestic cup, and won the Ligue 1 title at PSG once (losing out on it the other year he was there). That is not an impressive CV.

What significant things has Arsenal won in a non-domestic competition?

Cup winners cup and inter-cities fair cup. So not much.
