Rusty Shackleford

He can deservedly be called a legend for what he’s done on the pitch but am I the only one that can’t be arsed with him staying now? Very much cutting off my nose to spite my face I know but i’d just mostly feel annoyed. The advert, the daft celebrations and the cryptic social media b******s can all leave with him and I’ve accepted it. It’s not quite Antoine Griezmann levels of wanting to be the main character but this hasn’t been good either.

Remarkable achievement. Champions League qualification would have been par and that seemed like it would be in the balance with the lack of signings. What a job Slot has done.

I can’t believe this. In just a few short minutes we’ll be one game closer to never seeing Darwin Nunez again.

He was absolutely brilliant for 18 months. I remember thinking we’d be ok with losing Suarez as we still had Sturridge and Sterling. When the injuries started racking up it was like the player that returned was 5% less able each time.

He tends to arrive at the same time as the players. (edit - beaten to it)

To be fait to Nunez, he’s done an excellent job of ensuring any goal related payments haven’t had to be made.

We’ve made about a quarter of our games seem like an unnecessary slog this season. Points total is great but i’d rather like to have significantly less punch drunk halves of football if anyone is taking requests.

We just added some gold trim to Nunez’s dunce chair.

Loved them. You can get an empty pot on ebay for about £40 if you are feeling nostalgic.

It is extremely fortunate that Arsenal are hellbent on being s***e challengers because we aren’t a great football team at all. We are a good one but nowhere near as good as Jurgen’s best teams despite the points on the board. We’ll win the league but have plenty to do in the summer.

Looking at threadbare areas of the team and using it as a guide to what positions we’ll sign hasn’t been particularly reliable under FSG. I can well believe we won’t sign a midfielder. We are always players short. Even our best squads have had excellent players backed up by lads several tiers down. I’m broadly supportive of FSG but whatever ‘making do’ is in Latin should be added to the club badge.

I’m very much with Slot on the offside’ for our goal. I don’t like a rule which allows a player to affect the defender and then nip back onside. That it hurt Everton in this case is a delicious outcome though.

His pre match Edam had fermented.

Predictable script. They sit deep and we do f*** all with our possession. Couple of passes and lax defending and they are in. Crap against this lot. Again.

Elliot needs to go for his own sake. Slot said technique is not enough without the physical attributes and sadly Elliot doesn’t have them. He also said the physical attributes aren’t enough without the technique, which is why Nunez is a goner too. As well as the not kicking it the net thing. I’d hope to get £90-£100m for the pair but we are probably relying on a mad Saudi experiment on Nunez to get anywhere near it. Part ex Palace for Wharton for Elliot in a world where those things ever happen.
