Arteta doesn't seem to get any stick from Arsenal fans yet Emery appeared to be hounded by them, they've a lot of faith in him and have no idea where that comes from.

Fans at matches would have him under a lot more pressure that's for sure.

"Ole Out" has been trending on twitter worldwide after a few of the latest games Utd have played. Wasn't yesterday.

Fans can be fickle.

The premier league is brutal to watch. Not sure what it is, too much money, lack of physical play any more, lack of fans, soulless stadiums.....
Agreed. Football in the 80s, 90s and even early 00s had much more character. Watched a clip on Twitter the other day of Utd v Palace. Vinny Jones borderline assaulted Cantona. He got up straight away and nonchalantly got on with things.. The same late, high, tackle today would be a red card and about 20mins lying in a heap

What pains me about football currently is that there are some great tackles (and fair ones) being blown as fouls and even yellow cards..

Totally ruining the game.

In fairness it's a really poor Arsenal squad, they've only a few players who'd make a Leicester team and think you could make a case Everton best 11 is better then Arsenal's.

Take a look at Twitter this morning #oleout is still a thing. I don't thing it's even a 'fickle' fan problem, modern day social media gives every idiot an outlet for their rantings..

The biggest issue I have with football at the minute is the "avoid a loss at all costs mentality" of all but the top teams. The 2 banks of four/five just in front of the penalty box while the "big"teams enjoys 70%+ possession knocking it across and back with very little penetration for the most part. I totally understand it as if these so caller "lesser" teams went for it they would probably concede 3 or 4 but it makes for a pretty poor spectacle when one team is just set up in hope of scoring a breakaway goal.

Its very similar to the transistion in GAA in the early/mid noughties when free flowing, attacking football became the exception.

Four different women involved in the BT coverage tonight, the Presenter, co-commentator, and two pundits. Must be a first for Premier league coverage?

it was to mark international women's day. Not really something to get worked up about lads, actually made a change not having to listen to Steve mcmanaman.

Not worked up at all. Better than having to listen to Michael Owen also.
