    I wasn’t with you shooting in the gym.

    All I’m saying is your content doesn’t come across as a concerned fan.

    I've explained before 2 things made me stop watching around 2009

    I had a young family and our content was so seriously bad I could not justify the time to myself let alone my family. It sparked no joy.

    Second it was beyond obvious SAF was cheating

    I got back into it when we signed Ozil

    That's what good content does

    But sorry. I am not signing on to watch crap content every week because fandom

    I'd rather watch fun stuff like kloppo

    Thanks. Will do that shortly. But a part of me thinks that a lot of folks have their knickers in a twist this morning... Andrew is not immune to doing that. Especially lately.

    Time will tell what Raul & Josh plan to do, if anything. At the start of the season I thought he'd be given until the "festive period" and then if necessary a decision would be made. I guess I haven't really changed that view, however I myself have gotten more caught up in the speculation and relative merits of pulling the plug on him earlier than that.

    I hear you on that. I have a lot of time for that charming German.

    However, it's not mutually exclusive for me, so I still watch virtually every one of Arsenal's matches, even in the Emery & Late Wenger eras. ;)

    I'm so glad the club is taking a stand at Troopz and not at... well, dictators.

    I honestly don't remember but have no reason to doubt your recollection on this.

    Seriously, why TF would you do this. There's a decent argument to be made that other players might feel a bit slighted if Auba is hanging out with dudes on AFCTV who are so quick to throw players under the bus. But if so, that should be discussed with him privately --- unless your true goal is to piss him off --- then --- well done, I suppose.
    :rolleyes:

    OK, I've listened to the first 1hr of Arsecast now. And one thing I can say with good surety is that the club has crossed a red line with Andrew Mangin. He's fuming mad at the "statement" given to Ornstein. (which I still have yet to read) And they've lost Andrew's support... until they change managers I guess, and even then it's not clear that he think Raul & Edu have a clue. (No mention of Josh curiously) Meanwhile James McNicholas isn't as irate but his desire for Emery-out is quite clear.

    Without having read any more, it seems that the club may now have a big new PR problem on their hands. One of their own making it seems. And unless they make some sort of direct statement quickly, direct from their mouths, ideally on video, then this problem could spiral even worse.

    I actually feel bad for them that they have careers based on being a fan. At this point I'd be looking for a way out of this black hole.

    It's a different case, but Ornstein's move hasn't stopped him being KSE's stenographer

    This is innovative digital content

    Soon it will be revealed this is all a pre-hype for Auba and Troopz new netflix series

    I think that's kind of the trouble with football journalism

    You need access to get stories. It's kind of what was cool about data driven journalism because it didn't rely on that

    Just listened to what I thought was a really good ArsenalVision podcast. Just Elliot, Clive, and Andrew Mangin having an interesting chat.

    They clued me into the club releasing a new statement, after the debacle of the Ornstein article (which I still haven't managed to read!)

    And you never know but it might just be closer to the dreaded vote of confidence than was originally thought after the Ornacle spoke.

    Elliot sure thinks so!

    If Arsenal really understood digital entertainment they'd have Troopz fire him on live stream

    Emery vs. Aubameyang penalty shoot-out for Emery's job. 3/5 goals/saves wins.
