    I think people are confusing defensive with pragmatic

    100%, and the other way round. They’re not synonyms, a pragmatic manager chooses the approach based on the opposition.

    I just want to take a moment and salute the Conservative party for having our first Prime minister of British/Indian descent. 

    No qualifications, they have done something good today.

    Now I can get back to criticizing every bloody other thing they do :)

    Absolutely, and our first Billionaire PM too which is great for billionaires and descendants of billionaires in this country and across the world.

    Talk Shite

    Liberate yourself and can it off….you’ll feel much better for it 

    I stopped listening to it years ago 

    it’s tabloid radio at best, b/c list ex footballers spouting garbage 

    I have never ever engaged with it, I only ever see it through 3rd party sources. I would love the football world to boycott it

    He certainly got a lot of credit from the players for the goal, judging by the celebrations.

    Leon looked delighted talking to him as he was subbed off as well. Think he's another one who's been unfairly thrown under the VT bus.

    Maybe. We don’t really know either way to be honest.

    What we do know is we’ve been absolutely shit from set pieces both attacking and defending for a good 8 months. Were going to draw conclusions with the information we have

    I think most people say the phrase with a good intention. It's lovable. Much less hostile than "yeah course" that we threw at Gerrard just because he was from Liverpool. 

    I am a foreigner in this country, and my family all have funny accents. I've dealt with xenophobia and laughing at things I say, but this is not it in my opinion. It's a warm catchphrase, at least in my own intentions and views.

    But if you are not comfortable with it I get it. I just wouldn't be that harsh on it. 

    Be fair, Gerrard said ‘yeah course’ ALL the time 😁

    I don't think he's a poor player but we'll get our answer whether his attitude sucks or not. If the third manager in a row doesn't pick him then that's on him.

    It doesn’t have to be any of those things to be fair.

    Smith - injured.

    Gerrard - clown.

    Emery - has a lot more options with Kamara Donck and development of Ramsey and Tim

    It can still be true that he was more than good enough to be in previous teams

    For all those spouting bollocks about Gerrard was never going to be sacked, there was no plan etc. 

    Emery hasn't happened in 4 days. No way did we call him out of the blue on Friday morning and start discussions. This will have been going on for a while. He'll have been lined up sometime ago. 

    In hindsight it certainly looks that way.

    Look at it this way.

    Without Xia there wouldn't be an NSWE

    Without SG there wouldn't be an Emery.

    Thank you Mr Sherwood, Mr Garde, Mr McLeish and Mr O’Leary. If Unai has seen far, it is from standing on the shoulders of these giants

    Can someone explain this too me? 

    V and B in some Spanish accents is pronounced the same, Emery has a strong accent and was apparently mocked by Arsenal players for it. It’s not very clever

    I don’t even know what’s in reference to, I just thought the V button was broken on people’s phones 

    He just has a strong accent, I think maybe even slightly more unusual than what you’d expect from Spanish as he’s Basque but that could be complete bullshit. Anyway, he would normally pronounce v’s in Spanish as a b and Arsenal players apparently used to mock him for it and it got into the Twitter world.
