Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[KSE Comedy Club]

It is a claim, but I think it's fairly likely to be true.
But, again, it depends how it was framed. If it was stated that Adams was assisting with Cole's development then I don't think that would have been controversial. If the claim was he was solely responsible for it then I think that would have been challenged.

Yes, you see what I mean.

In general terms without delving too deep, the more likely scenario would have been the latter.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Not totally unfair (even the first Matrix was overrated)

And I don’t think anyone would think it unfair that in the final analysis Wenger was of his time

However, Henry didn’t convert from a winger to a striker because of a prophetic dream. How much Wenger micromanaged that transition who knows, considering his laissez faire attitude I doubt he would have broken it down to the basic constituents of his game no.

Would he have encouraged him to do things he saw from him on the pitch that thought would make him a good striker....that sounds more plausible

Former Arsenal forward Sanchez Watt received the most bizarre red card of the season after a referee mistook the player saying his own name for dissent.

Watt, playing for Hemel Hempstead in their National League South clash with East Thurrock on Tuesday night, was asked his name by ref Dean Hulme so that he could book him for kicking the ball away.

But the official grew frustrated when the answer given was 'Watt', mistaking the reply as the player saying 'What?' and arguing against his decision. Hulme asked Watt three times for his name, receiving 'Watt' as the reply each time, before seeing red and giving Watt his marching orders.

Watt the fuck?

If you have a shop called Piebury Corner which is designed to take in most of its revenues on match days because fans eat pies innit, like it or not you are going to be reliant on football fans coming out to watch the games.

And in the 11-12 years that the Emirates has been in operation and with Highbury stadium before that it’s fair to say that there wasn’t anywhere near such a malaise.

I don’t think in such circumstances it’s unreasonable for small business owners to come to the conclusion that “if you sack him, they will come”

[AFC Leveller]

n a lengthy exclusive interview with Der Spiegel, Per Mertesacker has completely opened up about his time as a professional footballer.

Lewis Ambrose – @LGAmbrose – reports for Arseblog News.

The Arsenal captain talked about mental and physical issues throughout his playing career, the suicide of former team-mate Robert Enke, why he is retiring and, finally, what he wants to do when he takes over the Arsenal academy.

(All quotes from Der Spiegel)

Over 100 caps for Germany, over 200 Arsenal appearances, three FA Cup wins and a World Cup triumph have not been enough to prepare Per Mertesacker’s body for the stress of the oncoming 90 minutes.

Every single week, every single game in his career, the same ordeal.

“My stomach turns as if I’m going to throw up, then I choke so much my eyes water,” Mertesacker said, explaining that he turns his head into his shoulder immediately before kick-off so his team-mates, the fans, and the TV cameras can’t pick up his first battle of the game.

“This isn’t supposed to sound whiny because I am obviously aware of the privileges of my life.”

This is the first time Mertesacker has spoken about the troubles he’s faced, but he couldn’t always hide it from his colleagues.

“(Clemens Fritz) said he had to try everything to fall asleep in the same room as me. My right foot would tremble so much the night before the game that the duvet would rustle and it drove him mad.”

Matchday itself is even worse.

“I have to go directly to the bathroom from bed. From breakfast to the bathroom. From lunch to the bathroom. At the stadium, to the bathroom again.

“Obviously you think: ah shit, hopefully nobody sees. On the other hand, I was back to normal again immediately after, just like: bam, completely there.

“I don’t want to make it sound dramatic — it had no effect on my performance.”

As a child, Mertesacker’s height saw him play at age groups above his own and he explains how some children would cry when they saw him because he was already so tall. Like his obvious physical advantages, his game hasn’t changed much either: “always defensive, always simple, always effective. Just like today.”

Football wasn’t the end game, though. Even when he signed for Hannover aged 11 he saw it as a hobby. A growth disorder in his teenage years saw him miss a huge amount of time as his bones tried to keep up with the rate of his growth.

“I felt so much pain in my left knee that I couldn’t exercise for a year.”

His parents convinced him to focus on his education, which he did, but a dramatic rise after returning to fitness saw him break into the Hannover 96 team. Just a few months later he was being called up for the national side.

“There was one highlight after the other and it was hard to juggle it all. I did my A-Levels, trained every day, played every weekend. I often said to myself: ‘Don’t think about it, pull through. Just pull through.’ Eventually you realise this is just a burden — physically and mentally — it’s no longer fun. No ifs, no buts. You have to deliver. Even when you’re injured.”

Not even two years after his international debut, Mertesacker was called up for the 2006 World Cup, hosted in Germany.

“The idea of a World Cup in my home country was exhilarating.

“Of course I was disappointed to lose to Italy in the semi-final but above all else I was relieved. I remember it as if it were yesterday, just thinking: it’s over, it’s finally over.

“The pressure ate away at me. The constant fear of making a mistake that would lead to a goal. That exists in other games, you look at the scoreboard and the minutes tick away, but at the World Cup that feeling was brutal. But could I really have said that? That I was glad we were out?”

The pressure told at the 2014 World Cup, when the polite Mertesacker snapped live on TV after Germany narrowly saw off Algeria in extra-time.

“What do people want? We fought until the end,” before declaring, “now I’m going to lie in an ice bath for three days.”

The reaction to the interview was overwhelmingly positive, though it may have helped that it came from one of Germany’s most popular players.

As if the World Cup was not enough to contend with, injuries also take their toll mentally as well as physically.

After that 2006 World Cup, Mertesacker’s heel bone was damaged and had to be reshaped. He chose to go to a rehab clinic more or less in the middle of nowhere.

“I just wanted to be so far away from the game, the clubs, the stadiums. Everyone thinks it’s so theatrical when you’re injured. It’s not. It’s the only legitimate way to get time off, to stop grinding away.

“It doesn’t even matter if you’ve played 10 good games, the latest one is the only one that counts.

“When the fans celebrate you, it’s indescribable. The whistle/boo you and, whew, I sink with shame.

“Whenever I just felt like I couldn’t keep going, I got injured. I even claim that a lot of recurring injuries are psychological. But that nobody really talks about that.”

After games, Mertesacker finds it difficult to sleep for the next five hours. “You stand there on the training ground the next day completely idle.”

At Arsenal in January 2012 he laid in bed three days, waiting for an illness to pass, but couldn’t explain to anyone exactly what was wrong.

“Well, just exhaustion. Utter exhaustion.”

Six years earlier, when Mertesacker moved to Werder Bremen, he encountered a club psychologist for the first time. However, he refused to open up.

“When he spoke to us, everyone responded with with the same mantra: I’m fine, nothing’s wrong, stay away from me, I don’t want to speak to you.

“When you’re part of a team, you don’t want others to think there’s something wrong or that competitive sport may not be for you.

“You mess around in the changing room, maybe you’re close to a couple of people there, but that’s it. Nobody’s going to drop their trousers and say how they feel.”

Mertesacker appears to hope that is changing and admits he has spoken to the club psychologist since his move to Arsenal in 2011, which has helped boost his self-confidence.

The previously closed-off nature of the dressing room has no better example than the tragic suicide of German goalkeeper Robert Enke, who played with Mertesacker at Hannover (2004-06) and in the national team (2004-2009).

“Even I didn’t realise how he was doing. That says a lot, right? I was close to dropping everything. Especially because a week later, everything was just seemingly back to normal.

“But my career is unique and I’ve been so lucky, I couldn’t just give it all up. It’s like a whirlpool that you can’t climb out of.”

Well aware that such an open interview may see him come in for some criticism (how many times have we seen people say footballers can’t suffer from depression, for example?), Mertesacker reiterates that he knows he is privileged and doesn’t take it for granted but doesn’t believe he has been overpaid: he did, after all, sacrifice his childhood, his privacy, his freedom.

“I would never say that I was or am overpaid, personally. I know what I did it for and I know the burden. I also realise that I chose this and nobody has done it to me.”

Now in a seemingly better place, Mertesacker manages to take time out each year with friends from his childhood. Sometimes they go fishing in Canada, other times they hike near where his grandparents lived. Those days give him strength, as does his family, “who don’t care how I played when I come home, they’re just happy to see me”.

His sons, six and three, are among the reasons he has chosen to retire at the end of this season.

“They are getting to the age where they understand that their father plays for Arsenal and that people know him. I don’t want them to define me by that, or for them to go to school and hear that I played badly at the weekend.”

They aren’t the only reasons, though, with doctors assessing the cartilage damage in his knee and supporting the decision.

“My body is finished. Everyone says I should enjoy the last year, play as much as possible, take everything in. I’d rather sit on the bench or – even better – in the stands.
And then, for the first time over the age of 30, I’ll feel free in my life.”

Next? Well, the next step is already decided. After a three month break, Mertesacker will be back at Arsenal as the new academy manager. He already has a clear idea of what he’d like to implement and what he wants his academy to provide.

“I want to attack the system. We are responsible for the guys who come in and they can’t put all their eggs in the football basket. They can’t neglect their education.”

Mertesacker explains that only 1% of the academy players will make it in football, “and of the remaining 99%, 60% are permanently unemployed.”

As for his playing career, there are no regrets. Amid the physical, mental, emotional toil, Mertesacker has become a world champion, a three-time FA Cup winner, a Germany legend and an Arsenal captain.

“Even if I had to vomit before every game and go to rehab 20 times, I would do it all again and again.

“It was worth it for all the memories.”

[LDG]

Per :bow:

[Goonermerree]

Whilst acknowledging that professional footballers get depression, I take issue with Per saying that he doesn’t think he’s overpaid. I’m only going to mention the teaching profession because that’s all I know, but many teachers feel like vomiting before an OFSTED inspection, and observation by 2 or 3 senior management, 4 or 5 times a year, who will pick holes in your lesson, that’s what they’re expected to do. It all goes on record now. Then you have to turn up the next day to explain what you are going to do about your ‘failings’, wouldn’t it be nice to go to bed for 3 days or just not bother the next day. You can’t, you have a class to teach.
On top of all that you have ‘learning walks’ and you are given a written report of what they found or didn’t find that they should have. If the observations are bad enough, you can go on an incompetency report, never mind a few boos from the crowd. I worked in a school where a handful of teachers were slated for their lessons, but not those on the SM team. Somebody looked at the target of the school and they said a certain number were deemed to be good or above and that they wanted all teachers to be at least good by Easter, so guess what, management slated some in that first round of observations, then made them ‘good’ by the time their predicted lot of ‘goods would be’. Good teachers were nearly given nervous breakdowns just so that Senior Management could be shown to reach their targets.

Teachers work a year for what Per gets in about half a week or more. Don’t tell me you’re not overpaid Per, that is rubbish. Teachers have to go through this every year for 40 years, not until their 30.(I know a lot of people can make comparable statements)

[Letters]

Correct. They are ludicrously over-paid and have been for years.
Yes they make sacrifices but no more so than the guys back in the day to gave their all for their clubs, often stayed loyal to that club for their whole career and were so poorly remunerated they had to go and find another career after they retired from football.

[Mac76]

When you consider how many fail to play or put in enough effort on matchday (and this applies to many teams btw) it's even more insulting

take the West Brom players who by all accounts have 'given up'- should they not also 'give up' their salaries then?

[Penguin]

I have a lot of time for Per, but what he said is quite shocking. Feeling relieved when Germany got knocked out, counting down the minutes on the clock and praying that he doesn't make a mistake. Is that the sort of mindset we want our players to have going into matches? This is coming from our captain!

Then we have our vice captain Koscielny breaking down into tears and going missing. Deeney was right.

Highbury used to be called the Library, so the atmosphere wasn’t remarkably better there

We had the fat black woman who used to scream but that’s about it

Don’t get me wrong I loved Highbury, it was unique with its Art Deco design and claustrophobic pitch

The Emirates is far too corporate to match that character but it’s a modern stadium for modern times

We couldn’t have stayed at Highbury forever, we would not have ever been able to expand it

It'd be better if the role was voluntary and honorary. Unpaid. Done on a part time basis for the love of the game. Plenty of people sit on school boards and do a hell of a lot of work for the benefit of the school without having their hands stuck out. And as soon as you remove that incentive then the goal becomes unambiguous. Take money away from there first, and turn it back into what it was supposed to be.

Alexis may well have been the best player in the team, but Wenger is the worst manager in the league, so that story had an inevitable ending.

[Özim]

Can't respect the guy, especially because of all the stuff he's said and done and the way he's blamed the fans and always had excuses for his failures, he's not a legend to me, his Arsenal career is mediocre given what he's achieved IMO, yes he won a few things early on but that was a long long time ago now.

As for the loyalty, let's be honest here, he never left because he was earning top money, could do whatever he liked and had no pressure on him to deliver success, easy job, earning mega bucks and no repercussions for failure. Anywhere else he would have been out on his ear after a season or two.

[Letters]

[Özim]

Makes me laugh when some fans say he deserves respect, firstly who cares, I'm pretty sure he doesnt. Moreover when has he ever shown any respect for the fans, if anything he's done the opposite, blaming them for his and the teams failure.

He's made a ton of money in a job he's been given free reign, he's been pally pally with the people upstairs and has feathered his own nest, he's done nothing for the fans, look at the club today, a lot of it is his doing, to most fans it's a barely recognisable from the grest club it was before he arrived, he helped turn it into a money making machine whose only goal is to make rich people richer by ripping off the fans.

So yeah, good luck with the respect thing, that boat sailed many a moon ago.

I don't really care either way as long as he leaves the club and never comes back.

It's an old cliche, and Welbeck's antics were sickening and he's a complete fuckwit for doing it, but I can't recall him diving for us before. For Utd, sure, that's a major part of their game so it would have been a contractual obligation. But for us, I don't think he's made a habit of it. He falls down a lot, but not for pens. But it's no surprise to see a major inquest from all sides. They still talk about the Pires incident which, btw, would be a pen all day long in the current game. Moving your foot in to get the contact is "Winning" the pen for your team. Ask Shearer. He condones it every time, unless it's an Arsenal player doing it.

Sorry, central defence and GK are two positions that require physical attributes. No way a 5 10" El Neny makes a decent CB. We should stop buying into Wengers BS.

Mhiki is one of our better midfielders and we've struggled whenever he hasn't played :shrug:

[Mac76]

it looks as though Elneny is out for the season but the club say he hopefully will be able to play in the World Cup - glad about the latter, he deserves to play in a World Cup and missing it through injury must be one of the most gutting things to happen to a player

Elneny is shite. He runs around a lot but he's about as authoritative in the middle as a submissive fag. Always behind the play. 90% sideways, backwards. 1 in 100 of his rare forward passes finds a teammate. He's a trier, I'll give him that. But he's mediocre, a classic Wenger Emirate era player. AMN will be twice the player once Wenger has gone. Although, in fairness, maybe Elneny will be twice the player too once that happens.

Our u18 lost 9-0 to spurs :haha:

The future is looking very bright then.:blink:

We may also get to see more of Nketiah as well

i do think that's harsh :) and think he will be better under another manager

We just won the youth league, so it actually is.

And Wengers leaving :patrice:

Elneny is decent. He's not shite and does more than just run about and what you've described.

[Niall_Quinn]

No top club would have him within a mile of the first team, and that's the new standard we need to meet now. No more Wenger stop gaps and cheap fillers, or expensive flops for that matter. If this club is pushing on we need to do a hell of a lot better than Elneny.

Ramsey on Arteta rumours: "He's been under Guardiola there, he was always interested even when he was playing going into a coaching role one day. I'm sure one day when the time is right, he'll be a fantastic manager. It's still early days in his career at the moment" #Arsenal https://t.co/VQAm0eEg3k

Ramsey fast turning into my favourite player :bow:

First he was Wenger out now telling it as it is :bow:

tbf to Puma there's only so many iterations/variations/minor changes of essentially the same red & white shirt as you can do.

I literally can't believe that football clubs have got away with making small changes to a red shirt every year or two and thousands and thousands of people are like
"ZOMG!!! It's the New Shirt! I must have the latest one!!1"

:doh:

People :pal:

I hope not. Nothing makes me prouder than when I walk around looking like an advertising hoarding for a Middle Eastern airline I’ve never flown.

You are kidding me!

Why? What's wrong with that?

Vic Akers leaving.

Good. More of the backroom dinosaurs next please.

[Goonermerree]

I don't rate him.

[Niall_Quinn]

I don't rate him.

Beggars can't be choosers with our defence. Holding's one of the better ones so far. Let's hope we don't hear any genuinely worrying news like Mustafi signing an extension.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I like Holding so good news to me. Plenty of time to learn and progress too.

[GP]

I don't rate him.

Oh right. Weird.

You should try watching him play.

Harsh. He doesn't do anything other than get the kits ready for the game.


It's the likes of Primoric, Banfield & Peyton that need to be kicked out.

Need as many of the Wenger regime to go. A complete makeover.

Probably harsh but they're all ancient.

The club needs a makeover.
