Exactly. And although I'd keep the scouts personally, the connection drawn between letting them go and signing Partey is weird. We didn't have money to sign Partey. They had to go ask Kroenke for more to afford him, and he allowed it. He wouldn't have allowed keeping staff that is deemed...

I'm confused. Why do you ask this question in a manner that suggests that Pepe has anything to do with what I said about Kepa?

I'm sorry, but this just isn't true. Kepa is regularly called one of the worst GKs in the league. He has conceded more goals than xG suggests he should, and he has one of the worst save percentages in the top 7 leagues. He's (rightfully) criticized much more than Maguire, let alone "any of...

He was voted Bundesliga's Player of the Season right before he left for City. I don't bother checking, but if you want you could look up what kind of players Bayern had at that time.

What does balls have to do with it? I'd absolutely rather see Sokratis dropped. Hopefully by the end of the season the first choice pairing will have been Chambers-Holding for a while, and then Saliba comes to challenge them.

Wouldn't he just be.. The Cal?

As a Norwegian who's watched quite a few Molde games, I'll admit that I never understood why you hired Solskjær. He may still surprise, but in my opinion he never stood out as special among the managers in that league. Although I do think it's more difficult to judge a manager than a player, if...

I've always been fascinated by the fact that this is even a discussion. Those who say "Oh, let's just enjoy these two players as they're both so good" are just as bad, since by doing so they imply that Ronaldo is close to Messi's level.

They really aren't. Wolves 44 Leicester 44 Everton 43 Watford 43 West Ham 42 Only one of these teams get 7th, which means the Europa League qualifiers. Their season is hardly over.

Is it over the top to say that OGS has done a great job so far? I won't use other people's words against you, but according to RedCafe's predictions before the season, Arsenal will have massively overperformed if they get third place. United had 12.5 times as many votes as Arsenal, Chelsea had...

Just checked out the predictions on here before the season, and it looked like this: (4 points for every 1st prediction, 3 for every 2nd, 2 for every 3rd and 1 for every 4th): Man City - 208 Liverpool - 149 Man Utd - 100 Chelsea - 52 Spurs - 43 Arsenal - 8 Based on this it would be huge for...

Couldn't you say this regardless of whether or not the tweet referenced the Ole chant though? If the tweet was "Emery has done a good job so far", it could still be used against him every time Arsenal lose..?

You could form two groups from those five clubs you mentioned. Three of them are still up there, while two of them aren't. Also, if Arsenal is some obscure little club then the tweet, which for some reason is treated as some kind of official statement through a serious channel, should be even...

Is this what you said after the PSG match? This is hardly the most offensive banter I've seen.

How is Jardim a pragmatic or a defensive manager? His football with Monaco was magnificent, and what made him known to the world.
