This Weekend's Fixtures & Leicester v Chelsea (12/13/14 Dec).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We have Fellaini in midfield according to Carragher.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah let's use a clip from 2013 to show Mesut is a lazy dick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not enough shots from outside the box these days for Honest Frank. :lol:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Our game against Leicester :cloud9:

What an afternoon that was.

[Master Splinter]

Yeah let's use a clip from 2013 to show Mesut is a lazy dick.

Remember when Everton caught Arsenal on the break once about 5 years ago?

It was the only recorded evidence of a team succumbing to the counter-attack.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

What's up with those triangle markings on Leicester's pitch? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Remember when Everton caught Arsenal on the break once about 5 years ago?

It was the only recorded evidence of a team succumbing to the counter-attack.

Ramsey got a bit of a pounding too.

Also, weird lines on the pitch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois saves from Mahrez.

[Master Splinter]

Costa showing his true quality with a donkey touch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oscar. :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Should have been a yellow for Terry.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How long is it since Hazard scored?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Courtois :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mahrez shoots, easy for Courtois again.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

How long is it since Hazard scored?

For Chelsea, May.

[Master Splinter]

How long is it since Hazard scored?

Since before Arsenal last won a trophy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

For Chelsea, May.

:lol:

BPitL.

[fakeyank]

Leicester are looking like genuine title contenders.. they are so exciting to watch.

Chelsea on the other hand.. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drinkwater went off, King on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea corner - went out of play. :haha:

[GP]

Chelsea are pretty rancid.

I still think they'll win, but they have been absolutely pathetic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vardy has killed Hazard, apparently.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Hazard rolling around. :rolleyes:

Remember who got sacked the last time you faked an injury Eden.

[Master Splinter]

It was the dive to the floor that hurt Azaar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carmeiro should have ran out.

[GP]

Carmeiro should have ran out.

Elbow drop from the stands.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypot3CYECwE

[GP]

Is Hazard coming off???

What a fraud of a player.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Chelsea are pretty rancid.

I still think they'll win, but they have been absolutely pathetic.

They have zero attacking threat from open play.

Mourinho has coached the attacking intent out of them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard walks off, Pedro on.

:lol:

[fakeyank]

Pedo coming on :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oscar hacks down Albrighton.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Come on Batternberg, that's a yellow for Oscar no?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 1-0 Chelsea, VARDY!!!

:haha:

[fakeyank]

Mourinho :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

YES!!!!

:HAHA:HAHA::HAHA:

[LDG]

:haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

:lol::lol::lol:

Got to say Mahrez is actually pretty good.

[Master Splinter]

Mahrez is genuinely brilliant.

[Master Splinter]

They have zero attacking threat from open play.

Mourinho has coached the attacking intent out of them.

In this calendar year, I think they've scored about 5 goals from open play. And 4 of those were deflections.

If it's not a pubbed corner routine or a Willian fluke, they offer nothing. It's just that last season, their bus was functioning better, keepers were throwing the ball into their own nets and all the decisions were going their way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matic header clips the bar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zouma hacks down Vardy.

[Marc Overmars]

Mahrez and Vardy are just ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oscar. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Congrats to Nigel Pearson on getting Leicester to the top of the league.

:rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matic can't control a ball.

What has Mourinho done to them? :haha:

1-0 HT.

[GP]

I actually feel sorry for Chelsea haha lol jk

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fight fight fight!

Vardy booked.

Diego Costa time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 2-0 Chelsea, MAHREZ!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Mahrez :bow: :bow:.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

:haha::haha:haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Someone strap Ian Ayre down before he can get to the chequebook.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

No way can Leciester hold to Mahrez after this year.

[Marc Overmars]

:bow:

Mourinho. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hoof booked.

[LDG]

:haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Someone strap Ian Ayre down before he can get to the chequebook.

Think Ed Woodward will be all over him this window given Utd's attacking problems so far

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Man hauled off, Cesc on.

[fakeyank]

How much more of this is Roman going to take? :unsure:

[Master Splinter]

Big Man hauled off. :haha:

Cisc on to complete the horror show.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

How much more of this is Roman going to take? :unsure:

Think he'll stick with him this year no matter what unless there's an actual chance they could go down. God how amazing would that be? :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro fucks a golden chance. :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Pedo :haha:

[Power n Glory]

Is José still holding a grudge against Roman and this is his pay back? :lol: Drag them down to Division 1?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa should score but does not. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Costa :haha:.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Costa :haha:


Giroud would have scored that. :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How the hell hasn't Ivanovic scored?! :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

When it rains it pours.

Especially when it's on a shithouse. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oscar off, Remy on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro is having a shocker. :lol:

[Munchies]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CWNzjFuWoAADziv.jpg

:haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Pedo :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Pedro :haha:.

Barca got one over on Chelsea there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Remy. :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

They only start attacking when they're 2 down. :doh:

[Marc Overmars]

Think he'll stick with him this year no matter what unless there's an actual chance they could go down. God how amazing would that be? :pray:

Chelsea going down would be the greatest thing to happen in the history of any sport, ever.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

M1 southbound closed :lol:

What a horrible night for the chavs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 2-1 Chelsea, Remy.

Disgusting.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FFS.

Don't fuck this up Leciester.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Hate to say it but it was a sick ball in from Pedro. 26 million fee fully justified.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian trying to claim a throw-in from his woeful control. :haha:

Mahrez off, Inler on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vardy off, Okazaki on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea with the towel. :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Azilewhatever doing a Delap :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes. :unsure:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

5 mins???

WTF?

Jose time is truly well and alive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azpilicueta. :doh:

Woeful.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Uuloa is terrible. Should have gone off instead of Mahrez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matic is a terrible footballer.

[adzzzbatch]

We better not fuck up against these cunts when they come to our place.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 2-1 Chelsea, FT! :haha:

Mourinho. :wave:

[Marc Overmars]

Leicester. :bow:

Chelsea. :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

We're not top anymore. :(

But Chelsea lose again so it's worth it. :haha::haha:

[Kano]

Got to be some great odds to throw twenty at Chelsea going down.

[selassie]

We're not top anymore. :(

But Chelsea lose again so it's worth it. :haha::haha:

:lol: yep

[Ernesto]

Fantastic, this Leicester side. I think they'll come unstuck against Everton next, but I hope they don't. Good football shouldn't lose out.

9 points ahead of Spurs in fifth. They're gonna be disappointed not to make CL from this stage.

[Munchies]

LMFAO

Maureen laying it on Hazard

hahahahahahahaha

[Munchies]

top 4 GONE

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carragher suddenly agreeing with Mourinho that the players were taken to a level above themselves. :rolleyes:

[Heisenberg]

Newcastle above Chelsea :haha:

McClaren :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho's career span

Season 1: Buy the bus
Season 2: Park the bus
Season 3: Throw the players under the bus

[Letters]

Think he'll stick with him this year no matter what unless there's an actual chance they could go down. God how amazing would that be? :pray:

I think I would literally explode if they go down

:patrice:

[GP]

No chance they'll go down. They have to pick up eventually.

:haha:

[Kano]

We've said our piece about Wenger at times but he's never overseen this sort of disgraceful season. Even after our 8-2 battering we were back in and around the top 6 pretty soon.

[GP]

You're no fun :angry:

That's what SHE said!


:(

[Marc Overmars]

We've said our piece about Wenger at times but he's never overseen this sort of disgraceful season. Even after our 8-2 battering we were back in and around the top 6 pretty soon.

Yeah, we've had some real low points but to his credit he's always managed to pick the team up and recover. Mourinho and Chelsea have proven to be spineless, a shocking and disgraceful title defence.

[GP]

It has been woeful.

Maybe it was Cech holding it together the whole time...

[Letters]

Mourinho :lol:

What a fraud.

[Xhaka Can’t]

‏@OliverKayTimes
Mourinho claims Leicester's ball boys were "a disgrace to the Premier League" (!!) but he doesn't want this to overshadow Leicester win

:haha:

But for medical staff, the FA, the players, the crowd, the media, the refs, other teams scoring more goals and now the ball boys, Mourinho would have Chelsea top of the league.

It is literally everyone else's fault.

[IBK]

We've said our piece about Wenger at times but he's never overseen this sort of disgraceful season. Even after our 8-2 battering we were back in and around the top 6 pretty soon.

Well said.

[Niall_Quinn]

Maureen seems to have forgotten about Wenger, maybe he has something else on his mind.

[LDG]

Wow. This hasn't happened to Chelsea since every season before they were owned by a billionnaire who bought them the league.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I genuinely think if Wenger had nosedived as badly as Mourinho has here with top 4 chances gone before Christmas and one point above relegation zone, even our conservative board would have taken action and said "Sorry Arsene this isn't working".
The difference is even with pretty pathetic squads Wenger would not have performed this badly, Mourinho doesn't know how to deal with adversity and problems that could have been sorted back in August for him he has allowed to keep going and going where you get the impression that the Chelsea players are deliberately underperforming so that he gets the push.

Fuck him...total charlatan, whatever Wengers shortcomings he would be winning the league at a canter with the players Mourinho has to work with.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fair weather manager who stupidly creates storms.

[LDG]

Not sure Chelsea have ever faced a crisis like this in their twelve year history.

Of course.
There's been a thousand posts in Arsenal debate saying Wenger will never get sacked no matter what he does.
Bullshit.
He's never been sacked because he has ALWAYS delivered what the board required of him.
At times that might not have been what the fans wanted but finishing top 4 every single year in the midst of the stadium move and the billionaires running amok shouldn't be underestimated. We've failed in some ways in Wenger under the last 10 years, there should have been a few trophies but we've started to put that right in the last 2 years when the new deals were in place which has allowed us to compete better in the transfer market. Now we need to push on for the bigger prizes.

Some of the Chav fans at work genuinely think if Mourinho stays they will go down or at the very least flirt with relegation for the remainder of the season. :lol:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Who can blame them?

What can be acheived by keeping him? Hope that these defeats humble him?

As I've explained someone with the disorder he clearly has no concept of humility. There are no depths to which the club could sink that could ever be his fault.

[dostoy]

They should have sacked him before the last international break.

They have a decision to make very very soon, because do you get another manager in and give him money to spend in January or keep Mourinho but then do you give him money to spend or not ?

Chelsea can still make the top four but they need a dramatic turnaround in form from every single one of their players, which is something that Mourinho is not capable of getting.

Guus Hiddink is the man they need at the moment, not Capello.

[Marc Overmars]

I don't really think top 4 is there for them now regardless of what happens with Maureen, as the turnaround would have to be extremely dramatic. The maximum amount of points they can get is 81 and obviously they're not going to win 22 games in a row! A few more dodgy results and they will be below the average tally needed for 4th.

They're finished for this season at least. :wave:

[AFC Leveller]

He is blaming his players left right and centre and they wont take his public criticism well. I dont think they will get relegated but i believe they will keep struggling.

[dostoy]

They will with him in charge yes.

Abramovich needs to sack him, I know it will cost a lot but how bad does he want things to turn around.

He needs Hiddink as a short term fix.

[GP]

Hiddink is a dinosaur.

[AFC Leveller]

They will with him in charge yes.

Abramovich needs to sack him, I know it will cost a lot but how bad does he want things to turn around.

He needs Hiddink as a short term fix.

Wasnt Hiddink sacked as Holland coach for failing to qualify for the euros and basically taking them a level or two down in the process?

[AFC Leveller]

"One of my best qualities is to read the game for my players and I feel like my work was betrayed," said Mourinho.
"One possibility is that I did an amazing job last season and brought the players to a level that is not their level and now they can't maintain it."

He really loves himself doesnt he?

Paradoxically no he actually loathes himself and because of that he goes to any length to assert his worth and demean others, it's more than just being a cunt he's actually ill.

Personally, I think there is a similarity between Wenger and Mourinho. If Wenger had bombed this season, I still think his past achievements would buy him the time Mourinho is getting.

[GP]

No way.

If we were in Chelsea's position right now, the atmosphere at games would be so poisonous.
He'd be gone.

[IBK]

No way.

If we were in Chelsea's position right now, the atmosphere at games would be so poisonous.

Dunno - remember who owns us. he's disinterested and I can see him giving his cash cow another season to turn it around. Noone at our club could give a f*ck about the fans...

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Personally, I think there is a similarity between Wenger and Mourinho. If Wenger had bombed this season, I still think his past achievements would buy him the time Mourinho is getting.

Maybe in 2005 or 2006, but right now ...... no way. At least a third of the fanbase are passionate Wenger out "fans" as it is and we're near the top of the table right now. I dread to think how bad things would be if we would be if we were in Chelsea's position.

Scenes like the Stoke train station last year would be weekly events.

[Marc Overmars]

It only takes a bad 5 games for the knives to come out for Wenger, so just imagine if we were almost half way through the season and loitering above the relegation zone...

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

It's all circumstantial I don't think anyone is that passionate a Wenger out individual, it's all governed by circumstance

When we are doing badly I want him to go, when we are pushing along nicely like we are i don't feel that strongly (although i still think he's a knucklehead for not buying in the summer and leaving us decimated by injury).

But yes I don't think the board would have allowed Wenger to carry on losing nine games from opening sixteen.......but we only ever sink so far under Wenger to that end we are the model of consistency.

[Kano]

The great thing about this hypothetical debate is that it will always stay that way too. Wenger will never demean our club to depths Mourinho currently is because he isn't such a sickening, despicable cunt intent on destroying everything around him to protect himself. He's stubborn, outdated in parts and maddening on many occasions but we'd never be dragged down so low, so far into the season with no glimmer of reprieve. This isn't just a one season 'blip' by Maureen, or even comparable to Klopp last season because Dortmund had their best players swiped away by their rivals and they did not enter into free fall as champions. Chelsea have no excuse whatsoever. This leaves a huge stain on the so called 'heights' reached by their manager over his career that won't be easily forgotten.

I think there's pretty much no similarity between them.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

No Wenger doesn't go off on a tirade of abuse at other people at the slightest criticism, doesn't try to demean the achievements of others.....has never lost the dressing room and has never had Arsenal 16th after 16 games into the season.

I have a lot of gripes with Wenger, stubbornness, inflexibility, micro managing etc but we all know the only person who has ever accused him of being a tyrant is that ball end Stuart Robson. Yes he relies on his own counsel too much but this isn't a confrontational guy he doesn't create bad relationships with people in fact how many people speak badly of him at all?.

Very few

[Özil's Panoramic View]

I'll start believing in anyone of the thousands of nebulous deities again, if this jumped up lot gets relegated. :pray:

[Marc Overmars]

Guardiola is reportedly not renewing his contract with Bayern and will leave in the summer, with Ancelotti lined up to replace him.

I suppose United, City and Chelsea will all be after him.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Despite the constant Man City links I think Pep has said that the only two clubs in England that he'd ever be interested in managing are us and United. Chelsea really aren't his style tbh ...... more a job for Simeone that. And Julian Laurens (who's got Arsenal connections) thinks that Pep's the only guy that Wenger would step aside for.

I dunno, putting two and two together it wouldn't be the biggest surprise in the world to me if Pep was managing us next year especially if we win the league and Wenger wants to go out on a high.


Anyway, emergency board meeting at Chelsea today allegedly. Could finally be the end of Mourinho. John Terry for player manager till the end of the season maybe?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

You're dreaming....Wenger the ever living, ever managing will be with us in 2220 let alone 2020

"I have a little bit rigormortis"

[Letters]

:lol:

And we'll finish 4th in the pan-galactic hyper league.

[GP]

We'll be well prepared for playing in outer space what with our lack of atmosphere haha lol

[Master Splinter]

Arsenal can't do it on a cold, wet, windy night on Jotunheim.

As well you know, we lost R5 with a little auto-piston modulater. We are positive, though he will miss two parsecs.

I told you so.

They really should have sacked him a month ago.

[IBK]

I think there's pretty much no similarity between them.

Most facetious. I think you know perfectly well that I was talking about their respective positions. Still - moot point now.
