Morning all.
Time’s against me this morning so a short one today. Yeah yeah, I know, I’m short every day!
Anyway, it’s Arsene Wenger’s penultimate fixture tonight against a Leicester side who are nothing like the League Champions they were not so long ago. They’ve still got a few good players, probably more but if recent results are anything to go by, they’ve been dreadful. There last home game ended up in a 2-0 defeat by West Ham, another side who’ve been poor this season. It could be another good night for The Arsenal, mind you it often is when there’s nothing to play for.
Last night the under 23’s had a chance to bag another trophy but the final against Porto was shocking from start to finish. The final, which took place at The Emirates Stadium saw a very depleted team turn out and if that wasn’t bad enough, the reserve team coach wasn’t at the game either as he was replaced by the under 18 manager. Interestingly, Thierry Henry, Per Mertesacker and Santi Cazorla were there watching on.
One can only assume that the under 23 regulars who weren’t involved last night will be in the squad for tonight’s game and if none actually get playing time, then what’s been the point? To be honest, I think it’s a waste of time anyway as why risk losing another trophy for the sake of a dead rubber league fixture at the end of the season? getting that winning mentality at an early age is not only good for the club but for the players. Success breeds success at any age group and it’s not even like these players are kids anymore. The are young men who have a good chance of making a fantastic career out of the game. They can be the future of Arsenal if they work hard and remain grounded.
As for tonight, well as I’ve said before, I’d love to see Macey between the sticks. Eddie up front too and certainly more of Reiss Nelson. The rest, well who knows who the manager picks, and to be honest, at this stage of the season, who really cares?
Whoever plays, I hope they enjoy the game and we do too..
Have a great day guys…
Afternoon all and thank you El Ricocococococo.
Talk of a no pressure game !………we could even bring back Frank McLintock to play a half for us and a half for his old club !
Anyone seen the rumoured new Arsenal shirt ?………………..only an opinion , but it is fcuking shit !……………..worse than the current one which is also fcuking shit imo…………………….the first Puma shirt was one of the best imo, but it`s slowly gone down hill !
I shall put a link up of it and would greatly like your opinion on it even though it`s fcuking shit ! hahaha

So which name are you going by Lc, your own or Phyllis? Perhaps the latter is better… lol
Agree LCM…………………………….I`d class it as an erectile dysfunction accelorator !
Hahaha…………………..I was bored Rico and thought I`d talk to myself !
🙂
Wonder if there is someone actually called Phyllis Stein out there ?
🙂
Anyway Rico……………..answer the question, what do you think of that rumoured kit ?………………..will you be gardening in it ? 🙂
Hello Rico and everyone.
I think tonight match will be an interesting one because the players want wenger to go with atleast a winning streak of 3 matches ?
Just reading BBC web page and see the Tussauds Meghan Markle waxwork !…………..I would !…………….probably make her melt ! hahaha
Everton is very interesting in Sergio Conceição (Porto coach)
No and no Lc.
Hi ATF good to see you back. A three match winning streak, ha ha, would it be a first this season… lol
Shame the game is not televised here in the Uk..
Jm, and Wenger apparently..
Hi Rico, do you want an app to watch the match?
Hi Bt, yes please…
Rico forgot to ask have you an android phone?
No Bt, iPad..
I did find an app in the app store but deleted it. I’ll look for it again…
I think I’ve found one Bt…
Arsenal XI: Cech, Mkhitaryan, Ramsey, Aubameyang, Holding, Iwobi, Welbeck, Mavropanos, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles, Kolasinac.
Subs: Ospina, Mertesacker, Mustafi, Nelson, Nketiah, Osei-Tutu, Willock.
What one dd you find Rico?
I’m watch it in Portugal. Sportv broadcast Arsenal and Chelsea
The goal was hilarious.
Adrien is much better then Xaxa and not so expensive.
Was the sending off right?
yes.
We lost so many balls in defense and transition to attack!
How can we win a game away?
Another defense offer.
First class when wil be the coach:: teach to lighten a ball in the area.
Thanks Jm, what about the penalty?
Another record overturning …. to our disadvantage
Accepted, but some doubts
Oh well, one more to go, or should I say suffer…
Night Jm, all.
11 defeats away…
No victories in this season
Leicester did not win us 23 games with AW
Swansea down to the second
Night Rico
As you say 1 more to go , and the season ticket request drops through the door for paying 1st June. I wonder if they will announce before or after they want the money in.
Morning Potter, Lee and all.
Never fear, we’ll beat Huddersfield on the final day to let him leave on a high. Lol
My own view is as soon as Sunday is done and dusted, we’ll know who the next manager is. Or certainly very soon after.
Only team in Europe’s top five leagues with zero points away from home in 2018??
Only team in England’s four leagues with zero away points away from home in 2018?
Hmmmm…..
Rico a massive no thank you to Arteta, Viera or Henry…. got to be a proper manager!
Lee, I reckon Vieira or Henry will be part of a team but not as manager. As you say, we need experience next.
Morning Bt, if what Wenger said was done so with knowledge, I reckon i will be..
Morning Rico and all…
I hope you’re right regarding the managerial announcement Rico..
Lee, can’t disagree with you on Arteta, Vieira and Henry,
morning… im with ya Lee on that No Arteta, Henry, Vieira for me.
can’t really understand why the away supporters kept singing Vieira last night..
Emery or Allegri would be more my choice.
Does seem a lot of the fans want Vieira Kel but I think that’s about sentiment. Or, anyone is better than who we have… lol
New post up now.
