The way they handled that Xhaka incident is just mind boggling. Don't they have someone with common sense in their management?

Mother of god...

Police have released new video of Kolasinac being attacked.

He literally just ignores the guy feinting to attack him with a knife!

Zero chance that's the first time he was attacked with a knife or gun.

Arsenal can offer a last surge through the gears for Mourinho’s diesel destroyer

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/nov/08/jose-mourinho-arsenal-premier-league-diesel-destroyer

I never realised how badly I'd want to see this happen. Until now.

The best was Lille and his agent still insisting he had an offer from Liverpool (and he may have but at half the price).

The worst was fans on here criticising the Club for not signing him and thinking we would be fighting out a top four finish with Arsenal and Spurs.

Did Pepe light it up last night?

I am still confused about him - he seems like he has the tools to be a great player....

He's looked pretty good to me whenever I've happened to catch an Arsenal game and he's been playing. A bit raw but he's young isn't he?

Arsenal have handled the Xhaka situation so poorly it's untrue. I think he's absolutely dogshit at football and nothing will alter my opinion but they've absolutely sabotaged any value he had. Emery has said he don't know if he'll even play for the club again. They're going to have to give him away soon, they've done exactly the same with Ozil too and he's done nothing wrong. Assets becoming liabilities just because of Emery. Time for them to send him packing I think.

Absolutely agree, Emery comes across as a weak minded non entity too for trying to suck up and say Xhaka should apologise. Italian Spanish or German sides will pick him up for very little in January or at the end of the season (because they are stupid enough to pay his wages and not pay him for then next 10 months).

Kolasinac probably recognized that that was a fish filleting knife that's not very much useful on a bull...

It's horrible that anyone should experience anything like that, but kudos to him for standing up the those losers.

Still 5th after 12 games and only winning 4 of them. Shows just how shite the league is 4th down.

No point sacking him now. Unless they have someone sounded out for the job. Just look at the mancs when they go down the route of caretaker managers.

It's not going to be that simple, you only have to look at the players the fact that everything top from bottom seems in a complete mess to realise that changing managers is only one tiny bit of the problem. They will have to make sure they make the right appointment I wonder how many Arsenal fans will be confident that this board makes the correct appointment?

This was his last big job i suppose, no big club will come close to him. This is a bit like Andre Villas Boas experience imo. Watch Emery go to a Russian or Chinese club next. (if Sevilla doesn't hire him)

Surely he's finished now? They'd be better off giving it to a "feel good factor" guy who's clueless rather than keeping this clown, he's useless and the whole squad look like they hate football.

They should take a leaf out of United’s book and appoint someone who won them the European Cup as a player

No takers. Ok, how about just someone who scored for them in a European Cup Final?

I’ll draw up the shortlist:

1) Sol Campbell

When can you start Sol?

The main problem is the midfield for me. It offers no protection for the defence, and little creativity for the attack. We have neat, tidy players but all very similar, no balance, no specialists, no pace or power in there. However, its been the same thing said for years.
