Sad day Gunners
It got worse today after losing to WBA. Now a big chance to miss out on any European spot next season  :o. Arsenal fans with signs demanding Wenger gets the sack.

More football related than the other thread, but Bartra with the thumbs up and some choice words at UEFA from Tuchel. Great point too as we're going to be up against it away to make up a 2-3 loss at home.

What seemed long ago like a predictable Chelsea title has all of a sudden turned interesting. Having said that Chelsea has an easier draw than Spurs in the last 6 weeks.

Wenger got a two year extension  :lol :rollin surely the fans are going to set fire to the joint.

Not that Dortmund are that stupid but at least he won't available to fill our position. I thought maybe that's where Tuchel was going, will be a backwards step for him if he stays in the Bundesliga now since leaving Dortmund after winning the DFB Pokal.

Aaron Mooy about to get a slice of this. Currently back at Man City after on loan helping Huddersfield get promoted. 12 EPL clubs chasing him apparently.

Rumour has it he didn't get along will some of the back office, some other rumours about the players struggling to have a relationship with him because of his typical cold, german personality. Whatever it was apparently it was mutual. I remember reading earlier in the season that Real Madrid were sounding him out, and then he was a front runner for Arsenal job. We brought in some really topshelf youth and hope that isn't affected with a regime change. In his two seasons with such a young squad he managed: one league runner up, two UCL qualifications, UEL semi final, UCL quarter final, one domestic cup runner up and one domestic cup win. Total record at Dortmund was 68-23-17. That's nothing to sneeze at in one or Europe's top leagues. Now we head into a tricky off season trying to find a new manager while handling the likely sale of Aubameyang and getting in new players. What poos me is we'll never catch Bayern like this. While they're going through top class managers like Pep and Ancelotti we can't even hold on to ones like Tuchel.
