Arsenal won't win the Premier League 2022-2023

Agreed,Lage seemed lost

i mean Lage had accumulated less good will than Rodgers, and Gerrard is a vanity project anyway, so i wouldn't have guessed this at the start of the season but the accumulation of "not quite clicking" has gotten too much and yesterday was pretty woeful in most respects as far as tactics and selection were concerned. glad they've acted quickly to move on, i'd still like to think we've got a tasty squad if they're better managed

Who's available?

there's the question. lot of talk about Lopetegui but i don't see that happening at this point in the season

if prayer has any power at all that's not happening

Rúben Amorim went 5/4 fav in the last hour on skybet, with all the usual caveats about next manager betting

well he went from 7/4 to 5/4

Lopetegui looking increasingly possible, cautiously pleased with this

Neto out for months again, ffs

Lopetegui would be a coup. I see Villas-Boas mooted, I thought he went off sailing around the world years ago and never came back

Would you take Dyche? I think he's unfairly lumped in with that "I'm British me" thing

i really really wouldn't want Dyche but once an appointment's made you have to give them a chance. incredibly unlikely that it'll happen tho, i think it's just bookie talk, as i assume AVB is. everything seems to have fallen into place for Lopetegui to happen so i'll be mildly shocked now if he doesn't

Dyche is a frequent placeholder in next manager betting, he was in the betting for next HTAFC manager and he 100% was not interviewed for it! I doubt he's in such a hurry for another job while Burnley are still paying him. But it still causes equal amounts of dread and also some enthusiasm amongst football fans!

Steve Cooper: Nottingham Forest manager signs new deal until 2025

he might just last longer than Slaven Bilic, but probably only just by days

Matheus really showing what he's got there

That was a hell of a dribble.

Be nice if we could keep the ball for more than 15 seconds

not sure where Astro Supersports 3 is based but it's like the fucking Chelsea fan commentary on my stream

Not even surprised

ah bollocks, bad time to concede etc

for all the struggles we've been a lot more of a goal threat than the rest of the season so far tho

we've brought on a lad called Joe Hodge who i've honestly never heard of, good luck son

shit, we started the second half well, Sky commentators delighted obv

60 minutes and Costa's done but this is ok, building fitness. time for Hwang to remember how to play football i guess

narrator's voice: Hwang did not

weird decision to sub Adama off, he'd played his way into the game second half

That'll be Hasenhuttl next for the chop then.

daft as it seems i get more hope from this doing today than from any time i've seen us this season. i said to my eldest at half time, at least i kind of believed we *could* score

[On his future] "I will not be here next week, because next week we play at home."

it seems like the return of Nuno is building momentum, and i really don't know how i feel about that

that would seem to be a bit of a regressive move. if ever a manager gave of the air of being "found out" it was nuno, and not just at spurs

I agree, but maybe it's short term and maybe magic can happen

Been saying to people today he can't really play a back 3 if that's a genuine preference, not with the curreny squad

feel like letting Jota go and Jimenez's injury which has clearly affected his play post-return were large turning points leading to the goal droughts. that and Adama coming back down to Earth.

I don't think going back to the coach you just recently fired is ever a good idea, seems like wheel spinning. but I think the immediate concern is getting out of the relegation zone. or hell, just winning one match.

It seems too early to me to be fretting about the league position, we'm 6 points off 7th I think. The inability to score is a massive issue and does Nuno look like the answer? Not to me but fuck it, anything can happen

far too hungover for this shit

Return of Gibbs-White

Adama could have possibly taken another moment to cross there

Ugh. Come on dude

Jesus Christ how many crosses can you fuck up

Playing like Ruan Texiera

Costa just starved for service here

Oh my gooood something fall

Zero fucking posts? What has happened to us, man

Anyway, you'd have to be completely jaded to deny that was epic

was driving during the duration of the game, but will go and watch it now I've seen the result and read the summary.

Not many games I'd say are worth watching start to finish knowing the result, but that's one of them

I just want to see a video clip of Roy Keane cautiously trying to put a dampener on the Haaland phenomenon, if it exists

So I still hate Mikel Arteta. With all this winning and being top of the league, I feel like I need to watch that Amazon series to rekindle my intense dislike of the Spanish David Brent.

Man City level with Tottenham on points now.

how did i not know Tottenham were doing that well

fans are afraid of success

They basically have double our GD though xp
