On a second thought

I no go any exile jare.

If I can't be with the team when they loose, I don't deserve to be with them when they win.

Carry on jarey

The truth is pride and Ego will not let many admit some facts, Saying Emey found his level is funny, i mean he has been taking midtable teams to UCL and he has done it again..

Your Arsenal is like a relagation threatened side who needs an Allardyce to take them back up, so Emery is a typical manager to take Arsenal back to UCL( May not win you league or UcL though)..

Emery may not be up to the Pep and Klopp to take your club to the top, but with proper ambitious Owners and players with guts and fire( like we saw in a Villarreal side with no special players as against the bottlers who would disgrace you by losing 4-1 in a cup final), He is good enough to at least patch this yeye club back to Europe either through 4th or Europa.

It is not easy to get rid of bad owners like the Kroenkes and the bad players, but easier with the coach.

I said it that year, no big coach will take this Arsenal job, Allegri rejected it, Ancelloti preferred Everton and Mourinho opted for Tottenham... Klopp and Pep will have their image soil also in this football club, only a youth corper will take the Arsenal job.

I can agree Emery got some things wrong, didn't communicate well, had bad relationship with some players etc but that's not the total package...

My problem with him was sticking and having faith with useless players like Xhaka instead of doing a Conte by stepping down, A Nuno Esperito could have gone to Portugal and get you fresh talents.

I dont agree with that bolded one bit at all. Maybe presently but never ever when emery was initially employed.
I mean we just finished 6th the previous season before he was employed and that was once in over 20yrs. How then are we a mid table team or a relegation looking team? Reason we employed Emery to take us back to the top(at least top4) since we saw him as an elite manager and not some mid table manager like Moyes or sort. Emery failed such task in his first season and looked far worse in his 2nd season and you want us to be happy because he took sevilla to b2b2b Europa? Wetin concern us with sevilla?.

Please, we still had hope of having top 4 reason why we employed Emery, he failed in it and that's fact. We left him till the 2nd season and he got worse, thus rightfully deserving the sack. Let us don't paint Emery as if he was one klopp or guardiola that guarantees standard top4 every season.

Fkhalifa:
Those saying he shouldn't have been sacked may have their points but what I stood/spoke against was scapegoating him all alone for the 2nd season woes.
I mean the useless board, players and even the fans taunting and asking him to play their favorites against his wish had a larger share in the blame, but Arsenal fans want to see the Fc as a big club too big for Europa and Emery only to end up outside everything in Europe.

You listed the bad sides of his tenure while forgetting the good parts, let me also recap the good times he had that could have earned a stay...

Some haven't so forgotten how he finished 5th on 70 points(better than Wenger's last 2 seasons) and was literally 1 win away from from 3rd ( due to many erratic displays from the Xhakas and Mustafis you will hardly see from Villarreal and previous teams he managed) in a season where 1st and 2nd had 99 and 98 points respectively.

Got to the European final and semi final of both domestic cups coupled with a 22games unbeaten all in his first season with a worst squad than we have now..

I mean a manager with previous 3 Europa trophies with orther 7 trophies with PSG in France will never be called a bad manager not worth a job at this present Arsenal.

Going back to an average Villarreal to trump Arsenal and Utd to the 2nd biggest club trophy in Europe and bringing them to the UCL is a clear indicator once again he wasn't the major problem at a club who can't even make euro conference after sacking him.

You're talking about the good sides, but in reality, it's not the good side that got him sacked. It's the bad side unfortunately.
You seemed to skip my first point. Any coach the loses his dressing room, NO MATTER HOW GOOD(emphasis on the capitalized words), deserves to be sacked. Emery didn't only lose the dressing room, he lost the fans as well. Fans appearance to the stadium dwindled each passing week as well as losing his players. Even a guardiola or klopp can't escape such sack talk more of Emery. The reason Arteta saw out the season even with worse result than Emery was because he never lost the dressing room. So you bringing up his first season positives does no justice to counter his sack if we're been realistic.

Reason why I brought up mourinho man u sack. The moment he lost the dressing room, his 2nd position and trophies of previous seasons counted for nothing. That's the harsh reality of football.

BlueRayDick:
You hit the nail on the head with the bold part of your post. Gosh! It irks me to even think about how leno keeps tons and tons of shots out and yet we still lose scandalously most times because he keeps facing barrage of shots.

At a time we don't even know the formation we play as a team. Any match against Loserpool, or man city was sure going to end with Leno making plenty saves and we still end up conceeeding 3 to 5 goals.

A coach that clearly lost his dressing room and can't command the respect of his players ; some people now want to come here and launder his image....Lailai! He was a failure at Arsenal and that's that! No cap!

Me wey no dey miss Arsenal matches; even when I dey do professional exam I dey create time watch Arsenal....Emery made me start missing some matches delibrately because I already know the possible outcome.

True...
The bolded was so tiring, I really skipped some matches

GloryIsaac:
The board should just find a disciplinary because this has to stop. Fines should be given for poor performances, bans on excessive use of social media especially before games and after depending on the result.

More like the coach should do all these not board. It's the job of a coach.

KingAlabi my Man
How far na.

Our one week exile go shele??

GloryIsaac:
Yeah, I remember Mendy’s own.

Man was posting time and time again, funny how it was when City were doing well, so it could actually be overlooked but Pep won’t tolerate nonsense.

Come to United where even in the most painful moment of a loss, some fool is on the media looking for who to give him feeding bottle.

If I'm a fan, na the bolded go pain me pass. Not defending racial abuse but everything have its time to do/say something. If this was a league game, and rashford complains of such(even tho it's wrong to do that immediately after a match), it would have been understandable.
But complaining after losing a final, not just a final but a European final when he didn't even perform well. Mehn that smacks of him being insensitive and inconsiderate to fans pains. At least, he should have waited till the next day not saying such immediately.
To me, it means the final no too mean much to him the way fans are taking it

Havertz10:
when I see their list, laugh wan kill me, I hope their board isn't blind like them


Ralf Rangnick is available, he will perform wonders with that team, conte is negative, he wouldn't last but discipline will show, zidane na mugu, allegri na old School, clubs dey avoid am self, anybody that takes him go accept the guy like cursed chalice.

Man u get options sha.
They just needs to do the needful

patrickmuf:
What structure is existing at United right now?

You guys claim Ole has stabilized the ship, I ask, how exactly...

If Klopp was sacked when Liverpool were struggling, some folks will run to town with the news that he couldn't make the top 4 but alas he wasn't and Liverpool finished 3rd...It's only at United that we invent terminologies to make it look like our favorite coach is doing well...

Qualifying for the UCL is the least you can expect from any coach handling our present crop of players. Winning at least one trophy should fall in that category too but here we see people talk about stability, meaningless away record amnog others as a sign of progress...Some of you have set the bar so low for Ole and that's my problem with you guys, if it was any other coach, you guys won't be any patient neither will those club legends...

You're talking about lack of discipline and attributing it to this generation but I beg to disagree, it's not this generation but Ole who can not enforce disciplinary measures on his charges. City, Chelsea, Madrid, Liverpool, Juventus, Barcelona and Bayern players are not of a different generation yet you don't see them act stupid and all over social media not when there's an important game at hand...

true and Apt!!

GloryIsaac:
This is what so many of those enabling this sissy pandemic can’t see.

This guy just lost a match in which he dropped a stinker and the next thing after was to go on social media! social media!

Mehn, him no try.
Like someone says, it's lack of discipline.
I heard guardiola bans his players from using phone in the locker room and also restricts the way they post on social media. There was a time he cautioned Mendy for being too active and he needs to cut down else he won't see first team. And Mendy obeyed.

Now just imagine rashford posting that nonsense when guardiola is his coach. Na bench from next season be that

GloryIsaac:
Look at the time of the post!

Calculate when the match itself ended!

There is clearly no discipline in place at that club.

How do you drop a stinker and the next thing is to make a mental note of those who criticized you on social media?! Priorities! Priorities!

Too many overgrown babies in this century and it’s so disgusting to see.

True...
The question is, wetin make am enter social media immediately after match? Like what was he thinking? I dont think I can enter Instagram or twitter after such a bad day at work. Maybe people differs sha

GloryIsaac:
Get in Zizou please

Lol... Why not conte

patrickmuf:
It's a big shame...

As per the aspect of people defending him? His fan boys are shameless, I expect them to resume normal service next week or even later today...

Ole is just too daft. I am not buying any inexperience excuse, that guy is experienced enough to know what he is doing but he simply isn't good enough.

Lol... Anybody who does such didn't watch the match then. That person deserves to be e-lynched

GloryIsaac:
Yesterday was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Done with this sh!t.

Find Hansi Flick abeg

lol...
Hansi flick wey don go Germany?

Any body talking about how it's wrong to sack Emery have forgotten how bad we really are. Like I said earlier, sacking him isn't wrong, but maybe replacing him with Arteta. It's just like man u fans asking why they sacked mourinho cos of Ole failings.

Seems we've forgotten how Emery was for us, lemme do a little refresher

1... Emery lost the dressing room. Any coach, no matter how good, who loses his dressing room deserves the sack. No two ways about it

2... Who has forgotten Emery countless formations? Today we'll do 3133, tomorrow 3313. Next week 4231, then the next 4312. The players are always confused and he also seem confused too.

3... Who can forget the shots we receive per match? Almost 15+ averagely, if not for the heroics of Leno then, na basket we for dey carry goals weekly.

4.. Against Southampton, lacazette scored the equalizer and made facial expression as if he regretted scoring. Worst part is nobody even met to celebrate with him. That tells you the unhappiness in the camp.
Our grinding machine nko?

Abeg, I detested the last days of Emery era and nobody can convince me otherwise that the board made a wrong decision to sack him. His found his level, kudos to him

mostob:
What do you think could have been the problem then? I can remember the season we only have Leicester to compete with yet he fumbled. We were in the title race in a particular season and we only needed a decent striker in the January transfer window yet who did we got? An injured Kim Kalstrom. Wenger was partially at fault.

Infact, if it won't be too extreme, Wenger made the board too comfortable. He practically carried every burden for them.

Their unwillingness to spend might have been due to Wenger been too honest.

Lol... Nothing pain me reach 2015/2016 season. The season where we had peak ozil, peak Sanchez, peak cazorla, peak coquelin. Defence not bad. What was just sorely needed was a good striker to feed off ozil Sanchez and cazorla creativity, but what did he do? He brought in injured Kim kardashian kallstrom. Average below par sub standard Giroud our stiker went on goal drought for a month plus if not more and our title ambition disappeared. Yet they will say we're still building stadium and paying Emirates debt. Laughable

Spy360:
So you believe Wenger can think of doing this? Wake up one morning and saying 'I think I'm going to reduce the bar'. You guys are really messing up o

Lol, this your talks are emotional talks without facts. Let us don't go emotional, bring facts and logic let's discuss. Simple

KingTom:
Dem hack your account too? Truly failure has no friends

Omo, the guy just throw everybody wey get small hope for him side inside mud

patrickmuf:
From an Arsenal fan but because of blind love for a club legend, some folks will rather look the other way...Ole fan boys, you guys should at least not defend him again no matter how you love him inside.

I'm not sure anybody will have the right to defend him again. Actually, I wanted Villarreal to win cos of the rivalry we have with you guys, but I never expected such stupid display, tactical cluelessness and brain-dead substitutions From Ole. To me, no player should be blamed ystdy even rashford sef. I mean, see the stupid nonsense rashford played ystdy, any half a good coach would have sub him, drift pogba to the lwf(lmf) that he's shown he can play excellently and bring in matic. What did the scam do, he left him there, removed greenwood one of the best players and then bring players (like 3-4) just for penalties. Like penalties? A whole man u coach hoping to win on penalties instead of normal time. Mehn, that's the lowest of low tbh

Spy360:
Wengers mistake was not leaving to join RMadrid in 2006/7 after reaching UCL finals. Wenger's mistake was not quitting when told he could only buy after selling his best players to raise money, so that the club can pay off debts.

Lol... See digressions Who talked about debt and selling off best players?
I'm talking about mentality he brought to the team and how it seeped into the squad even after he is gone and you're talking about RM and him selling best players (which is another discussion entirely).
Please if you want to counter, talk about the mentality I brought up instead of all these emotional stuff you're displaying

Spy360:
Forget about my 'blind love' and let's analyse the logic behind your statement.

I will rather accept you say Wenger became mentally sick and things got sour rather than those words you put up there. Totally makes no sense.

What do you mean by mentally sick?
I don't know where you're driving at here, but I can never call Wenger a mentally sick person. Abeg!

Kilishihunter:
Tbh bro he said the truth except the poor la liga part, Forget Spainish domination in Europe United should have won that game

Ystdy, Ole just proved he's a scam
That game ought to be ended during 1st 45min

BlueAngel444:
the guy failed all questions even bonus ones

It's the way he took his penalty sef that's hilarious

De gea : this penalties don too much oo, we go sleep for here? Abeg abeg, make everything end joor make we go sleep

Akinbahm:
Amazing to think that the only thing that can prevent Unai Emery winning in Europa League finals is Arsenal

Jodera, uncle Kokaneprodigy Good ebening says HI

Lol... Congrats to him.
Like I said, I wished him well esp against man u. He doesn't needs to be tactically astute to win man u, just park the bus and hit on counter. Trusting him who always tune his team to counter his opponent instead of playing his game, Ole fell sweetly into his hands

Kudos to him

GloryIsaac:
This final should have been a walkover. Honestly, I always get skeptical when they start posting a lot of stuff on social media and making strong utterances.

Villarreal’s main CB is Raúl Albiol! Raúl fvckin Albiol! a 35yr old man that his best days are behind him!

If City catch Villarreal, it will be a record-scoring final. Like, KDB will get subbed at half-time because he’s too much advantage.

Why does Ole and these boys have to crumble when it really matters? Ole literally went into panic mode moment normal time ended.

As for Rashford, last I mentioned his kids campaign and all, it’s things like these that piss me off so much about him. Drops stinkers and finds a way to quickly stat pad.

Can’t drag Bruno but he played his part in this loss.

Lindelof should just go to Barca or join United’s female team.

Thank God Wan-Bissaka didn’t play penalty because

Cos Ole is a dubce. Last night just prove that Ole is a scam. Leave the players, I've never seen such frustrating and clueless coach as ole last night. Last night proves that if they give Ole prime messi and Ronaldo and rashford is in bench, he'll never ever sub in someone like rashford if he needed goals obviously... Rashford is in the bench. To him bench is useless.
Like I've never seen any maga coach that hates bench players and makes 1st sub at 100mins(like who does that?). That coach deserve big time sack.
So many things to type sha, but lemme just stop here

Degea no sabi anything.....

Henderson would have saved at least 2 PK's.

GloryIsaac:
They won’t keep their mouth shut and play football, Na to dey cap up and down.

Same way Ole said Leeds match can’t be 0-0.. exactly what it was.

The arrogance is disgusting

Actually, na arrogance and Ole ineptitude kill man u. Both trait shared it 50/50

GloryIsaac:
Did he really say this?

Omoh

So after all the penalty wey referee dey dash una, unu still lose through penalty.
