Arsenal (A) Post Match Thread

Fantastic first half, switched off second half but still had plenty in the tank to get the job done, really showed how important Fernandinho is to the the team though
 
Well played. 3 great goals. We conserved our energy second half and hopefully can use it on Sunday. Massive respect to our fans went to the game in those conditions

Upon what evidence would anyone assume the board will do anything but renew him for another two years? I'm 100% serious -- even though you are probably right that eventually the fan cacophony has to have an impact.

But the entire institutional football knowledge at that club is tied up in this man, just as it was at Utd with Ferguson. The American ownership which knows zip about football (just like at Utd) has been only too pleased to allow a single, iconic figure to run all aspects of football operations -- even better at Arsenal, because unlike Ferguson, Arsene has the same ultra-risk-avoidance personality as an owner would (selling his best players for peak value, a lack of willingness to take a chance on youth or pay huge money for clear game changers). Arsene and Kronke knows the fans will turn up again and again and again -- they're sheep, and the club owns the leverage-able brand. The ambition level is tied to FINANCIAL performance, not trophies.

I've said it before -- City are like a venture capital backed disruptor -- Google to Utd's Microsoft, Amazon to Arsenal's Wal-Mart. FFP tried to make venture capital structurally illegal, which is what pissed me off so much (as man in the land of technology and capital). Arsene was the public face of this effort. I will never feel sorry for him, ever.

Can agree with most of that but I don't think they're sheep - they stayed away tonight and voted with their feet although the conditions are atrocious out there . That can be a storm that can build however and before Kroenke knows it the gates are down by half and crisis is looming . I don't think he will make it until the end of this season
 
Heading home, bloody freezing it was. Was touch n go whether to brave it looking at the state of the trains Home but wow was it worth it!

Blues were awesome throughout especially given the weather and the turgid second half but that first half was just unbelievable.

Think I walked past the arsenalfantv lot - some angry noises coming from whoever it was anyway.

Great to get a bit of yaya kolo going!

I had to chuckle in the match when the commentator said it is Pep's 100th match and he has won 71 of them and then went on to say that that meant we had won 71% of our matches.
