Unless they get to the Europa final of course

his last ever game as manager at our place

Not if they reach the EL final! I'd be ok with Arsenal winning the Europa League. For Wenger. And for the 'fam' to beg him to stay at that point.

I presumed they were knocked out of everything, and relegated to League 1 - if you listen to Arsenal fans on 5 live.

Give it Sean Dyche.

his last ever game as manager at our place, fuck they might even turn up!

He'll play the Invincibles, all of them. Even Wiltord.

Matt DC, Friday, 20 April 2018 09:53 (six years ago) link

I hear West Ham have a promising manager looking for a move to a really big club.

Tim, Friday, 20 April 2018 09:59 (six years ago) link

(Assuming Paul Tisdale doesn't leave Exeter at the end of this season, which he might, he will be the actual longest-serving manager in the football league, which is kind of amazing.)

Tim, Friday, 20 April 2018 10:00 (six years ago) link

This is an emotional moment for Tisdale isn't it? Finally, finally, he can be King

hot take: wiltord was good

Google lobster hierarchies (Bananaman Begins), Friday, 20 April 2018 10:01 (six years ago) link

He was largely responsible the last time France won anything

imago, Friday, 20 April 2018 10:03 (six years ago) link

geriatric Wiltord still looks very fit, he would probably still make Tommy Smith look one-paced and draw a desperate last-ditch lunge from him!

calzino, Friday, 20 April 2018 10:07 (six years ago) link

Well it might be, the thing PT's notice was served on his two-year rolling contract about 18 months ago, by order of a motion at the AGM of the Supporters Trust. A new contract has apparently been offered but not yet signed. So he might leave this summer.

I'm hoping this contributes to him deciding to stay at least another year, we'll see. If he does go, it'll be a shame but not the end of the world, club's in good shape IMO and I trust he's smart enough to have not made himself irreplaceable.

Oh wow there are shorter odds on Brendan Rodgers than Allegri.

Matt DC, Friday, 20 April 2018 10:33 (six years ago) link

Maybe an outside chance, but I wouldn't be surprised if Wagner is linked with this job at some point. Apparently he is on the Chelsea shortlist at the moment.

PULIS TIME

you're my luger not my rifle (Noodle Vague), Friday, 20 April 2018 10:49 (six years ago) link

Low would seem a good fit, wouldn't he.

Rodgers would be hilarious tho

groovypanda, Friday, 20 April 2018 10:50 (six years ago) link

pulis would be a george graham for a generation of arsenal fans who don't really understand what the club is all about. there's a moral imperative for this to happen imo

Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 20 April 2018 14:01 (six years ago) link

"It's great to be back". Look at that natural chemistry and effortless bonhomie there, god knows why they ever failed!

I know the betting is meaningless but still lol @ Brendan Rogers being steamed into the 5/4 fav at some bookies.

calzino, Friday, 20 April 2018 14:10 (six years ago) link

steaming is an apt adjective

Cortez the Self-Harmer (Noodle Vague), Friday, 20 April 2018 14:11 (six years ago) link

I hope he gets the job.

(Henry) Green container bin with face (Tom D.), Friday, 20 April 2018 14:12 (six years ago) link

I can't believe anyone could have a problem with that narcissistic creepazoid managing their club!

calzino, Friday, 20 April 2018 14:15 (six years ago) link

HE'S NO PULIS

Cortez the Self-Harmer (Noodle Vague), Friday, 20 April 2018 14:18 (six years ago) link

I'll say one thing for Rodgers, he really relishes beating Rangers, to an almost (Neil) Lennonesque degree.

(Henry) Green container bin with face (Tom D.), Friday, 20 April 2018 14:23 (six years ago) link

there are tribes in Borneo who've had no contact with Western civilization who would relish beating Rangers

Cortez the Self-Harmer (Noodle Vague), Friday, 20 April 2018 14:25 (six years ago) link

I feel like this is a great opportunity to ruin the career of a young up and coming English manager like your Sean Dyches or your Eddie Howes

cajunsunday, Friday, 20 April 2018 14:27 (six years ago) link

(xp) Yes, but a Deila or a Strachan, with Celtic comfortably winning, would have taken off a few leading players, stuck on a holding midfielder or two - Rodgers brought on three forwards as substitutes.

(Henry) Green container bin with face (Tom D.), Friday, 20 April 2018 14:30 (six years ago) link

and vice versa. In fact, winning 50-0 against a scratch team of bemused and scared tribesmen from the Kalimantan forests with only the barest understanding of the game's rules and none of tactics, at a packed Ibrox, that would be the perfect matchday experience for the fascistic bullies who make up the entirety ofthe vast majority ofa majority ofa disturbingly large proportion of Rangers support

Google lobster hierarchies (Bananaman Begins), Friday, 20 April 2018 14:38 (six years ago) link

Tribunal result for Ampadu comes in and is, IMO, pretty derisory for a player who's gone straight into the first team squad.

If I didn't know better I'd almost the football authorities in this country have structured things to support the richest at the expense of the least rich.

Tim, Friday, 20 April 2018 14:53 (six years ago) link

shurely not?

As much as Rangers are a bloated irrelevance/joke these days it's funny to hear people (still) talk about them the way Bobby Gillespie talks about...anything
