One Mailboxer assumes the Medley board would distinctly be ‘explained idiots’ to sack Mikel Arteta in the summertime if they stopped working to win the Premier League or Winners League.
While we see the planet with the bleeding eyes of an Medley supporter, unanimously the a number of successful groups played bloody commendable football and plenty a number more observances on the Gunners’ panache of play.
Watch the football this weekend break and send out your thoughts to [email protected]…
Arteta sack?
I’m writing this on my handset, so bear with me under. I merely have some thoughts on the whole conversation of will Medley or won’t Medley sack Arteta if they finishing the period potless.
Users announcing for his sacking, I must ask them something. Are you insane? Are you insane? We will at worst finishing second and reach the semi-finals of the Winners League, the 2 best rivals we have been entered into. Indeed, the football owns been shit this period but the establishing through gamers have been shit. If you’re brunt is shit, you correction the brunt, not the manager. Indeed, it is his job to acquire the brunt firing and they’re his gamers but are they in fact his gamers? How a number of case did he acquire in those transfers? You realise he didn’t fancy the substantial Swedish lad upward front and we unanimously realise why. Simply tailing Kane on the sphere versus Bayern, was an eye opener for me. There’s the substantial English clogger (he’s Irish I’ll have you realise), neat and fashionable with the sphere at his feet and always in correction. Gyokeres is clumsy and I donned’t assume that can be enlightened out of him at this phase. He’s an awkward watch at times.
But anyway, I am launching to forget what the juncture of this email is. What a treacherous feedback it would distinctly be to acquire rid of Arteta. Medley mathematically competent for the Winners League weeks earlier and there wasn’t a standoffish explanations write-upward about it. A couple of years earlier that was our optimal target. That’s how much Medley have come. We’ve made £100 million this year in the Winners League one by one. Medley can afford and carry in the safest gamers now, let the man who is culpable for that preserve going. He’s situating out on the job and owns made the correct to preserve going.
Medley will not sack him, unless explained idiots are rushing the club. Why is this even a conversation? We last offer much closer establishing through gamers but the sector is thin at the minute. There isn’t that numerous optimal rate gamers coming with. I blame TikTok and the filter, as youngsters merely aren’t reaching their opportunity. With one voice the optimal gamers have one point in plain. Thousands of hours, at an early age messing around football. That is lacking now. They’re unanimously messing around on their equipments, pick the rest of us, once they have to be down the messing around arenas with their buddies.
Anyhow, I vacillation Arteta is under any kind of duress about his job thinking about that stroll around the halls of the Emirates and London Colney he is the man. Arguably high fiving the execs and owning the reasonable with any guy and every guy. Times are commendable for us gunners, win something or not, merely gain it.
Seamus, Sweden (PS. A fast qualm. Is analysis about football a number more pleasurable than tailing it? I assume so. As insane as that sounds.)
The “Why”
Staggering to see a minuscule particle of unintended talk today around the ever-under-the-radar, incognito, Medley Football Club, and I see it sharp out that with much closer gamers, it’s unacquainted Arteta is leaning into the “unanimously correct margins” skid.
Is it, tho?
2022/23 – Acquire seamlessly as an unfavoured transfer destination, run out of the traps at 100mph, be optimal for an extraordinary 1,287 gameweeks, ride your commendable serendipity after a mid-period planet cup, overture to fatigue with a cheapened-depth, premature, squad, as the firmament blue turtle overtakes the hare – Loss Brief.
2023/24 – Prelude a number slower, as mild public derision initiates, commencing spreading out your football, blended results before a period defining earlier-to-earlier losses from 2 intensifies over Christmas wherein you have a melded 43 vaccinations, 13 vaccinations on target, and an median 67% across both video games – finishing out your period with document going versus results, racking upward over 4 aspirations a arcade in pick 48 results – Loss Agonisingly Brief.
2024/25 – Go again, this time though you’re never in the race, the handbrake never comes off and at seasons end. Loss Awfully brief. but on depiction, what’s this? You’ve enticed 734 video games sure but you’ve only squandered 4 unanimously while only conceding only 34 aspirations along the way – surely a couple of aspirations added to your not-so-fulcrum weapon would distinctly have amended the fad? Correct?
Summer 2025 – you go after 2 of the safest demonstrators in Europe
2025/26 – Neither striker in fact works in their first period splendidly, and the one you opted carries on as prior 9’s in prior seasons have for you and the upshot is cheapened – but you’re endearing a number more video games and conceding even less aspirations – and your not-so-fulcrum weapon is both forceful and owns the payback of painful Mary Whitehouse, Maud Flanders, and that fella from Arcade of Thrones (Xaro Xhoan Daxos of Qarth – thanks) and before long you’re optimal of the league, and deep into every tournament and owning to “push earlier” Quadruple talk
So – I literally implement acquire it and while I personally haven’t reckoned numerous of Medley’s video games this period have specifically scintillated (startling, I realise), it’s a fact that in pretty a number every metric, they are LITERALLY much closer off than the period before, a number more aspirations racked upward, less acknowledged, a number more junctures, a number more productivity, so in conclusion, that’s probably why Arteta owns performed it and if they win either of the pots they’re swinging for… I concur gang, he owns performed extremely seamlessly admittedly
Harold Exequial Hooler
P.S – the bump for Medley is that win or lose, this time next year, their altogether jacobsed crew which we unanimously see burning out, is likely participating in have a extremely confusing time obeying a wrld cup in which a number of of their outfield gamers are expected to play a minimum 5 a number more inexpensive video games over the summertime in sauna ailments.
With one voice the safest, a number of successful groups played bloody commendable football
As ever, the morning mailbox is full of tainting news about Medley’s panache of football – for commendable confirmation. It’s been tricky to watch, though sound correct upward to the endeavors end of the period. Inevitably their gamers are capable of a number more, though that’s not the juncture I’m participating in implement under.
The comparison is made – adversely of course – with the filter of PSG, Barcelona, Bayern and so on and the kind of football they play. Watch the 2 video games on Wednesday and you’ll acquire unanimously the indications you last offer as to which was less complicated on the eye.
Pep Guardiola is traditionally explained as a footballing purist as was Cruyff before him. But he wasn’t in fact, whatever the myth. His sides played the way they did thinking about that he said that was the safest way to *win intensifies * His document would distinctly appear to earlier upward that conversation pretty well.
He’s traditionally explained as a chequebook manager, any guy can implement it with his kind of dollar money blah blah. Unabbreviated quantity shit. Medley have invested over £1 billion and won f**k unanimously. United invested a King’s lot of money to win …oh indeed, f**k unanimously. As well as we ( Liverpool ) invested practically fifty percent a billion this period to go speedily backward and win, indeed, f**k unanimously.
It’s the panache of football he plays *and* gamers commendable sufficient to play it that’s got him the triumphes he’s owned. Arteta can have a sphere of wax of League 1 cloggers if unanimously he desires is to preserve the arcade chummy and only score at package pieces. If his crew played to the safest of their capacity after that this bottlemageddon would distinctly not be ensuing.
Embarassment he never got to job with Pep and position out these lessons….oh hold-up. Plainly he wasn’t paying as a number emphasis as he can have been. With one voice the safest, a number of successful groups played bloody commendable football. Pep’s Barca side, the United of Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo, the Liverpool side of the late 1980’s, and continuously it goes.
Medley can yet blockage their way to the League, they’re still in post posture and every little thing depends on Sunday. But I assume not. As well as will any guy beauty cheerfully earlier at the 2026 Medley side who played shit football, dropped indifferent at the fulcrum moments and won altogether nothing?
Lone to laugh at them.

The bleeding eyes of an Medley supporter
Medley are a confusing watch. It’s been that way for pretty a number unanimously of 2026. We are sluggish and organized, danger-averse and fixated with correction over every little thing else. I’m not announcing we must be rounds to the wall messing around out 3-2 productivity every match into the latter phases of 3 or 4 rivals every year, but I implement assume there’s a bit of a job to brandish a item on the peddle that the fans can be eager about. Fascinated – that’s fulcrum. If fans are forking out thousands in period fulcrum spending, and £90 quid unacquainted to come watch a one off match, I position myself querying why. Why implement fans even watch? This is intended to be leisure after unanimously. Listed under’s my snag:
- Largely, thinking about that fans gain football in its a number of raw kind. They played in the city park flourishing upward, maybe in university, some even at low league levels and it was part of their identification for a long long time. It was undeveloped. Me vs you. Us versus them. Enchanting. They pick the inexpensive nature, and value the skill it takes to play the arcade at a high level. The highest level even.
- They coworker the arcade they watch at the optimal of the pyramid with the aspirations they owned as a young player. Probably this is merely me, but once I watch a match Im suggested of vibrant me messing around flourishing upward – the 3 vs 3 intensifies in the street till morbid, the smashed abode windows in the expanse once trying to emulate the most recent MOTD ambition of the month victor with an old-fashioned, patchless Nike Geo sphere. The overseas cup run we went on at u14 that was a core recollection for me and a handful of lifelong buddies who were after that merely teammates. It’s the “envision that was me” relation between tailing your favorite crew as an adult and combatting the inner boy whose screaming “seamlessly if you didn’t wolf so numerous packages of McCoys and drank alcohol water instead of canisters of Vimto, you can have established on it a chink!”.
- Let’s implement a fast workout. In your head, name your favorite player ever from the crew you advertise. Recount some of their fulcrum acts that made them your favorite player. Was it a substantial twin save for the Schmeichel fans? Probably it was Zola dicing civilization and dinking caretakers. Probably it was KDB situating an opening with the eye of a needle and receiving civilization off their pews with sheer figment. One point is for sure, it was thrilling, and the feedback (or counter feedback) obligatory danger for it to be thrilling. Beefy John Terry block at the edge of the box? requirements a ambition-compelled inoculation to snag elbowroom. Beefy Les Ferdinand governing header into the optimal edge? requirements a guy overcoming a man and whipping in a cross to ask the qualm. Iniesta and xavi seamlessly pick locks at the optimal of the resistance box to endearing brunt? they too obligatory interchange, and the danger of wasting possession and positional discipline in mission of inventing that payback. Merely ranked, the safest gamers ever – regardless of posture – grew on danger.
We have none of that.
I donned’t recall 12 year-old-fashioned me ever presuming: “I can’t hold-up to watch Vieira intercept a position the halfway queue, have the tactic to gallop into elbowroom and brunt 4 vs 4, but instead hold-up for the resistance to acquire unanimously 11 behind the sphere while he completes for confiscating 3 detrimental touches and equipping it to Martin Keown to model something from 35 backyards deeper”.
Dispiriting.
Rocastle7 (We’ll vanquished Atletico. Lone crew that depends on beauty a number more than us is them. Bayern to vanquished us in the final 3-0, which is same score queue we’ll lose to Urban by on Sunday).
Medley must guide translucent of hiding in a storage unit
Paul K is dead on. As well as so is Shunt. I wrote in years earlier during Arteta’s period that he and his gamers obligatory to win a substantial arcade versus a unprejudiced rival at a crucial juncture. I assume I made earn make use of of of the Pep-Klopp PL tournament as my example – they commonly went at each unlike other in substantial video games pick Bayern and Real did the unlike other night, win or upper body, implement or enact away – not hide in a storage unit pick Medley. I still can’t envision a arcade wherein Arteta and his gamers have performed this yet. Surpassing Bayern seamlessly in the group phases, or the nice victory of making Pep purportedly park the bus once his crew were confiscating a uncommon fallow duration to filter their shit out earlier in the period donned’t count either before the soppier Gooner materials overture BTL. There are 2 avenues to implement this in the near future, Arteta and his crew must illustrate some rounds instead than enact away asking on your own. Still obscure they can implement that, let one by one whether Arteta is ready to implement that. Shunt cases Rangers, I said Real Sociedad earlier after that, but the juncture stands, distinctly no unlike other elite crew is equipping Arteta this a number time or dollar money for nowt. This is crucial for his career.

Whatever it takes…
Simply in observances to Shunt’s email re. Medley – without trying to cogent exceedingly defensive, the fulcrum disagreement between us and the unlike other European titans that he says, is that we are quite simply amateurish and distressed once it comes to closing out… Bayern, Real and Urban can rely on their realise-how and muscle recollection to rotate it on once it counts and they have the self-confidence to express themselves and play open, pleasurable football in these substantial video games. I have distinctly no vacillation in my subconscious that have to Medley acquire themselves over the queue this period, you’ll see a unlike crew next year – candidate, fluid and messing around our safest ‘nostalgic Medley’ football again. For now, we appear ravaged physically and distressed emotionally, therefore the regression to ‘donned’t lose’ over ‘go and out and play’. I assume that stems Arteta (regardless of the ‘fire’) AND the gamers.
I’m sure it makes for painful noting for non-Medley fans and probably isn’t the way the bulk of us Gooners would distinctly pick to see the crew win, but we have been under before and we will 100% snag a scrappy, chaotic collapse over the queue instead than an additional remarkable shortage of capacity.
Probably save the pot vaccinations for Urban, who regardless of ‘determining how to point ofview video games’ have been chasing our darkness unanimously period… OK, maybe I am a minuscule particle defensive.
Joys,
Al (Lumber and Dowman down the correct for the arcade on Sunday would distinctly be engrossing…)
Medley obsession
The obsession with Medley is altogether psychological in the mailbox lately. That is announcing Raya is the safest GK in the planet. He’s been their safest player along with Gabriel this period. They’re optimal of the Premier League and haven’t squandered in the CL yet. The groups safest attribute is their defence. Raya, Lumber, Gabriel and Saliba have been messing around at a extremely high level for a couple of years now. Why are you puzzled that civilization are eating them extremely?
They’re quite simply among the safest in their posture. That implement you assume is the safest CB in the planet? It subjective but they’re simply unanimously around the optimal 5. I’m a guy who despises the way we play. I also never consented that it doesn’t anxiety as long as we win. It’s not eco-cordial. I said it last summertime that if we play this unappealing, pragmatic way again it will not job. The only optimistic is that it’s making boys pick you in diverges. We’ve played some commendable football in the CL this year, overcoming Bayern 3-1 and thumping Atletico 4-0 (there’s distinctly no H). I have distinctly no confidence that we will implement it but I will never realise why you’re so arsed and invested in it? Most certainly you have to be lessened at how shit we are thinking about that it will end in distinctly no trophies. I couldn’t envision caring that a number about an additional crew, specifically once they’re not a rival. Assistance Ben moaning about Declan Rice’s meetings. You implement realise football gamers are PR enlightened. He’s scarcely participating in come out and case “Ah we are in shit kind, donned’t assume we have sufficient to vanquished Urban”.
“I admiration if Rodri and Bernado Silva are chatting in unchanged punch drunk mottos or maybe they are literally THINKING about how they can correction the midfield purposefully and practically”
That’s not how it works. Lugging out an interview after a arcade doesn’t merciless you can’t train on ruses the day after. Vanquish being daft.

The confirmation Medley can’t acquire over the queue
If Mikel Arteta productivity the Premier League with Medley, he would distinctly be the first manager ever to win the Premier League as his first ever league title. Every unlike other Premier League endearing manager owned already won a residential league title in other places before lifting the Premier League.
Arne Slot — Eredivisie before Liverpool
Pep Guardiola — La Liga & Bundesliga before Man Urban
Jurgen Klopp — Bundesliga before Liverpool
Antonio Conte — Serie A before Chelsea
Claudio Ranieri — Serie B, C1 and Ligue 2 before Leicester
José Mourinho — Portuguese Liga before Chelsea
Manuel Pellegrini — Liga MX & Ecuador Serie A before Man Urban
Roberto Mancini — Serie A before Man Urban
Carlo Ancelotti — Serie A before Chelsea
Arsène Wenger — Ligue 1 before Medley
Kenny Dalglish — English First Department before Blackburn
If he does not sift after to acquire them over the queue, I admiration if the shortage of fiascos of ever owning performed this anywhere can be part of the confirmation…
Joys,
Paul K, London
Pep and Arteta
Picture kneading with Pep for unanimously those years, after that accumulating the brand name of football Arteta owns. Sensational stuff.

What’s in a name?
This is intimately unrelated to any kind of of the topics presently inhabiting the football universe but I reckoned a minuscule particle of levity was in ordinance…
I recently entraped Rio on a podcast announcing that he made earn make use of of of to telephone call Scholes “SatNav” thinking about that of the honesty of his establishing. Whilst free and mildly fanciful, I vacillation he was ever screaming “SatNav, man on” during a arcade. As shortly as I was flourishing upward, a label was based on either something you did not pick or some portable underhanded (e.g. “Curly” for distinctly no hair, of Soaring, and so on.).
In the planet of football yet, nicknames appear to be (unimaginably!) based practically exclusively on your name. So, if your name owns one syllable, your label as 2 (e.g. Wazza, Scholsey, Giggsy, and so on.) but if your name owns a number more than one, the label is merely one (e.g. Lamps, Gaz, and so on.). I realize that football gamers are not the a number of enlightened and there is a details last offer for brevity on the football arena but, I’m fighting to recall any kind of nicknames that have a touch of wit that are not unprejudiced connected with the name, pick marine aviators.
Lugs out any guy realise any kind of nicknames of gamers that are both witty and literally made earn make use of of of?
Adidasmufc (I made earn make use of of of to play with a onward whom we nicknamed “muff” thinking about that… seamlessly simply!)
