Cuz theyre the second biggest club in England after City, who wouldnt want the West Ham job? Great club great supporters i wish Julien best of luck COYI ⚒️
Real question, why does west ham want him.
"Not a good look for West Ham" proceeded by explajning how awful the football under Moyes has been. Ok mate.
Might it be because it's not a straighforward FFP rule violation like Everton and Nottingham Forrest but a decade long fraud where actual laws were probably broken as well. 🙄
Great pod chaps. I think Rob Newman has left the club. Can anybody confirm?
Bayern have been unmanageable ever since key players - Muller in particular, but also the other veterans such as Neuer - threw the towel to ensure Ancelotti got sacked 3 months into the season because they wanted him to train them like Guardiola. The same Ancelotti who is now kicking their butts. Way too much player power there. Also winning 11 domestic titles in a row has distorted expectations and any manager will be judged against that. To put things into perspective: imagine if Heynckes had been sacked in 2012 after losing 2 finals and finishing 2nd in the league? There would have been no treble in 2013.
Anything that's "tied to the income of X" is just pretend play. All that needs to happen in that case if that you grow the "income" part of the calculation through bogus sponsorship deals and selling players at inflated values. If you keep inflating this income you can expand your expenses as well, and the deficits allowed by the Premier League are ridiculous. Which is exactly what the most successful English club of the last 15 years, Man City, are all about.
No one can
Probably best choice for the job
I'll save you 30 min. It's Uli Hoeneß
you seem to have annnoyed a lot of the arsenal fans but I think for posh lads talking about football you guys aren't so bad
The way that Lopetegui threw his dummy out at Wolves shows his childish, atrocious behavior. The same will happen at West Ham. Should have stuck with Moyes. West Ham to fight relegation next season.
Casemiro is finished and it’s brilliant to watch 😂
The reason City haven't got 95 points is that they have only taken one point from games against Arsenal
Shite
Pochettino seems to be making some progress with the team. Look how Arteta has progressively brought his Arsenal squad around making a few key changes each year. This Chelsea squad is young and riddled with injuries which make it hard to be consistent and play with cohesiveness
Title: "Can Arsenal break Old Trafford curse?" Actual podcast: Let's talk about how good Man City are and how "weirdly" Arsenal can't rotate as much as them despite spending only 1/3 of the amount they have since Pep has taken over. I'm a Liverpool fan, so this isn't coming from a place of bias, but I feel like The Athletic, particularly this podcast, genuinely has something against Arsenal. You dragged Whites name through the mud, you constantly reference "how much" Arteta has spent despite it being less than 5 other clubs since he has took over and you very rarely want to focus on the good they're actually doing. It's really strange.
Arsenal have drawn once and lost once in the league this calendar year, and won every match other than those two. They will sweep Ten Hag back to Holland.
There's no Old Trafford curse but rather match officials against Arsenal at Old Trafford. Northern United supporting referees always throwing mud at Arsensl at Old Trafford then headed by Mike Riley.
We have also gave Moyes his first trophy of his career and 500m to do it. . So let’s get that right. Before u all try be pundits that know what ur on about . We are where we supposed to be based on spend
Pep is good at rotation 😂 Of course he is he has the squad to do that, at any given moment he has £300m plus of talent sat on the bench…..
City off the pace is the stupidest comment ever…. How about we have had the most competitive PL season in PL history with a strong battle for both the title with 3 competing and for top 4. No City aren’t off the pace at all, it’s just been the most competitive PL in history
The Athletic is usually insightful, or perhaps I should say David Ornstein is. Look here are the facts, as an Arsenal supporter. City are the best squad and have been for 5 or 6 seasons now. Pep inherited a PL winning side, spent heavy early, and have built what looks like an unassailable advantage with heavy spending early on. He is a wonderful coach as well. Arsenal and Mikel are on a different trajectory, in that we are lagging behind the legacy spend and stratospheric salary bill that City is carrying. City are the best team, it’s marginal now, Mikel has built a team capable of challenging, but it is short of the players needed to dethrone City, which they will hopefully put right in the summer. Arsenal are so good, they are a very very good team, improving them isn’t easy, it’s marginal gains now. Ollie Watkins is very good, but he doesn’t make the difference. In part there is something about letting the Arsenal forward line off leash and let them be their creative selves. And adding some world class talent.
“They would need another regular goalscorer” “Who would you put in there” “I don’t know I hate this question” FFS it’s a podcast. Come prepared with insights, don’t be moaning about answering straightforward questions. Up your game fellas.
It’s totally predictable don’t be daft
Unwatchable.
Delude guy on left. Entitlement and ignorance.
Correction.. if Ancelotti wins the CL he goes down as one of the greatest football managers ever.
Their search is going worse than Tottenham’s 2021 managerial search
bayern hotspur are down bad
Cole Pálmer might be a much better than Mount as a player but he is way less marketable he’s if we are kind mediocre looking and a bit gormless in interviews. Might come into himself more as he gets older.
You got it spot on raphael
Of course Karl-Heinz Rummenige has an offical role as member of the board of the Bayern München AG - which is not the club but the company of the mens football team, where the club owns 70% of the shares
Aww Chelsea, are you fucking serious?
Lots of talk about the supposedly huge step from Feyenoord to Liverpool. "Feyenoord is only regional" not true: Feyenoord has fans all over the Netherlands, Belgium and many other countries all over the world. Ajax has been much more successfull over the decades but Feyenoord is just as popular. And was the first to win the Europacup 1 (the old CL) and world cup in 1970. And they won the Uefacup twice (in '74 and 2002). "The Eredivisie is just a small league", used to be true for many years but we've climbed to place nr 6 in the Uefa ranking right behind France. So it's the biggest of the smaller leagues. "... so there's no way we can know how he'll perform in the PL" so how about looking at the 30 European cup matches in the last 3 seasons!? Eliminated Union Berlin (nr 5 Germany that season), Olympique Marseille (French nr 2), Lazio (Italian nr 2) and gave Shaktar Donetsk their largest defeat ever (7-1) to name a few. Except the last one all much richer clubs. And Slot has been used to playing 2 matches a week. Performing even after hard European matches with as little as 60 hours recovery time. He has implemented Liverpool's intensity identity from the start at Feyenoord.
Cause Milan didn’t want him !
Get behind our manager.
Imagine talking about Joao Felix like a Simeone failure instead of Joao Felix failing, with Chelsea he did absolute nothing and now with Barcelona its exactly the same...
This "City have been off the pace" narrative is rubbish. They haven't lost a game in the league since 6 December 2023.
Precisely you’d expect them to know that
you guys are actual mugs hope shilling for pep pays off '"rotate like you got a 100 mil bum on yo bench mikell"
100%
It’s just spewing the same old narrative. No complexity to any train of thought here
Yep really poor for The Athletic’s standards
100% one of the worst takes about Arsenal… “they need a goalscorer”, “who?” “I don’t know”
Ayo not laughing off Ragnick and recognizing his positive job at Austria NT shows how good he is as a host. It would have been easy for him to just go on and ignore what he did after the United debacle to give some hyperbolic rhetoric but he instead tried to make a sense out of the Bayern approach.
Chelsea cheating and being unethical? Surly not.
I thought i was the only who could sense John’s slight bias against Arsenal but judging by the comments it seems its actually fairly obvious.
John always seems to see the negative with Arsenal. Getting a bit harder to listen to him
Frank Lampard
Probably the worst Athletic football podcast
Easily. The guest in black moaning when he was asked a question about who Arsenal should sign was a particular pisstake. Do some fucking prep
So the club should have waited even longer than they have, 7 or 8 games this year where they have conceded 4-6 goals with a defence based manager....then scramble and face critical press and fan reaction. Thank you moyes , you have given us amazing memories , thank you for the memories and conf league title , but now is the tight time for everyone
The Tifo boys have been proven very wrong by Arteta now they are trying their hardest to down play he’s achievement. His competing with half the wage bill of Citeh, & less then Pool with the so called best manager/s ever. Really pathetic from Jon trying to detract of the incredible job Mikel has done. Now he talks about being lucky, what a clown. I will drink yours & doughnut boys tears when we win titles , this one or in the years to come. Arsenal will raise their ceiling which will allows us to rotate. We also won’t do it by financial dopping & 115 charges of our fraud. Do better!
