I love Pearson to pieces. Listening to podcast and love how he doesn’t parade about his own successes. So genuinely humble to his detriment, can claim so much of our success and doesn’t really do that Very different to a certain Irishman

Also the fact he squares it to Abdul epitomises why we live him so much

Best goal per minute record in the league?

I LOVE COUNTER ATTACK FOOTBALL

Alarming how safe on the ball he is atm. Virtually every pass sideways or backwards. Also not great to read first thing he does after games is check his pass completion. Still think as a screen he’s doing a good job and he’s very honest player. Just need him to back himself a lot more. No coincidence him being crap has meant we look crap

‘For all the talk of change of culture and mentality under Arteta. The cold hard facts read that Arsenal have spent over £650m in his tenure, and have not won any of the major trophies more recently than Leicester City.’ Even as a complete mess we are funny

That team wasn’t best paid in league, with embarrassing resources compared to others.

Last sentence true with massive caveat. Pearson found Vardy and Mahrez from relative obscurity and transformed them into players. We did not have best paid squad in league by a mile. Against Millwall we had 9 full internationals on the pitch. It is just embarrassing our resources now compared to other clubs

Not a question. Now can’t even match their points total. That team had world class players as mentioned above, but on paper you’d imagine a team brimming with full internationals should be better……. ho ho ho

Sympathy for him today. Ridiculous system we play means wingers have to beat their men even when double up. Yunus not going to do this so everything went through Mavididi. Stupid not playing Abdul, who is our only best player one on one stationary. Really all comes back to dire way we play football. Pass, pass, pass, get winger one on one and hope he creates magic. Always played to feet We’re top the league virtue to fact we are likely paying salaries akin to a top 10 PL team.

Fullbacks are a thing of pre-enlightened football We are out the cave now, don’t hark back to the days of fullbacks

Looked like that without him today. Awful decision to drop

All forgiven for yesterday. But let’s not do that ever again Mads Never in my life seen a team concede a goal from their own goal kick

I wouldn’t have had TAA ahead of him at the time. Was our best player and we were 2nd or 3rd I think. Think probably as devastating as the Fofana injury. Without it, probs champions league and likely a c. £70m sale

wasn’t ever getting back so writing it off makes no difference Kendall Roy has ****ed it royally

Cannot believe no one has worked out how stupid our wage structure still must be. We couldn’t get anyone to pay Ward’s salary instead of us. I know he’s shite but surely this must mean this clown is still being paid at least 30k a weeek

Let’s stop all being mental. The club losing £90m whilst booking £70m of profit on sales is insane. It’s irresponsible of highest order It was gambling clubs future. Top doesn’t have money to sustain this lunacy. Everyone needs to wake the f*** up. They’ve screwed the club by being absolute morons

26m saving is nothing

How tf did wages increase from 2022. A year we were useless. Who got the wage increases? How is this possible. God they are incompetents running the club Also anyone believe we actually had relegation clauses that meaningfully reduced our wage bill? Club have lied constantly for 2 years I am so angry. Nonsense about stadium expansion as well. Honestly clowns

Not sure I follow. Wages will be reduced by £26m or to £26m If the first we are fooked. The second is also not happening in a million years

That goalkeeper is pony

Suspect the poll would bear different results now

Disgrace. Should have been binned years ago. Might actually finish the club off

Hamza is a joke

Last years were 9 days late on CH. There’s a lag between CH receiving and publishing so wouldn’t get too het up when they’re not up until next week
