Angry & Miserable
Hope the stadium gets emptier. It's the only way with this ****headed board.
So you will give another manager time, but not Emery? In today's world everyone want instant success. I understand the frustration and feel the same, but the situation we are in calls for patience. I don't belive Emery is the problem, but understand I'm in the minority.
Now Bellerin wants to leave.
Emery will see off every decent player we have before he's sacked.
I do believe the view “I hope we lose the next game and he gets sacked, so we can move on to a better future as soon as possible” is an interesting one...short term loss for long term gain type of thing...hard to know if wanting Arsenal to lose, as a fan of the club, can ever be considered a good thing, regardless of the long term view...I suppose you have to believe the result will be worth the sacrifice.
He's had plenty of time to make his excuses. Fact is, he acted like a ****.Kos has spoken to The Athletic about why he left. Relates to Emery. Summary in this reddit thread.
“TLDR: Kosc first concerns were when Emery did not assure him he would remain captain following his arrival to the emirates until mid-august. Following the departure of Gazidis, his future contract that was in the works (which involved him staying on to coach for the club after his playing days were up, kind of like Per) was thrown into question.
Under Wenger Kosc was given rest between some games as to avoid him having to take pain killing injections to get through matches because of his Achilles. When Emery came in, as well as when Kosc came back from his terrible injury, he was being forced to play games in quick succession causing him pain in his aforementioned area, as well as his body aging naturally causing him some discomfort.
Knowing there was interest for him in China and France, as well as feeling mismanaged by Emery, Kosc forced through a move to Bordeaux.”
He had to, otherwise he would be stuck here with Emery.He's had plenty of time to make his excuses. Fact is, he acted like a ****.
it's no surprise some players found the change from Wenger to Emery hard to swallow, and if Kos felt his future was no longer assured I don't blame him for wanting to leave - can't find excuses for that video thoughGotta respect Koscielny. Must have been very hard for him!
That is an extended metaphor, but I find it to be satisfyingly accurate. The man can’t pilot, let alone captain, a ship.Judging by the activity on the Raul/Vinai thread I see the people have finally started directing most of their ire towards our board.
Emery is like the guy in charge of a small boat, with a loyal crew of lowly paid fishermen. Expertly guiding it through local canals and rivers, with the occasional foray into international waters.
He excelled at that job and now was made the captain of a huge cruise liner. Instead of sailing through the calm, local waters he was used to, he has to sail across vast oceans. His crew now consists of well paid professionals.
After initially doing an ok job, it has then become clear he was painfully out of his depth. He is desperately trying to reacreate what worked for him before. While moving one fisherman from the back to the front of a small boat seemed to work, when he asked the Payroll Clerk or Sound Technician to fulfil the Chief Engineer's job role, unsurprisingly it failed miserably.
He then didn't help himself by ostracising the not always reliable but at times brilliant Navigator of the ship. A decision he had to reluctantly admit he was wrong and bring him back.
Right now everyone can see the ship is sinking, in fact the below decks are all flooded with water.
The only question people are asking now is why are the people in charge waiting till the whole ship is under water? why not get in an experienced captain in now? Then there is still some hope he will be able to rescue the situation. Wait any longer and the ship will have taken in more water. Then even the most experienced, brilliant captain around won't be able to do anything and we will have to write off not just this year's voyage but possibly recondition the ship and write off some of the older crew members, setting us back a few years before we can confidently go on another journey.

I think it's plain now that he came in determined to change everything, regardless of Arsenal's, and Wenger's, long traditions, and anyone else's feelings, and the newly installed hierarchy encouraged him - and a large portion of the fan base tooTerrible attention to detail if bumnai doesn't look into these sort of things when going into a new club. Getting to know your players, if there's any certain training methods etc is surely top of the agenda for most.
What's Bellerin said?Now Bellerin wants to leave.
Emery will see off every decent player we have before he's sacked.
