It's November!  Arsenal fire manager Emery due to a poor start.  But what's the plan?  Is there a plan?  Arsenal are down.  Worst start in decades.  Emery had only been at the club for one full season.  And it's November! Emery had the pedigree for this exact moment.  Arsenal are not competing for the top of the Premier League.  Arsenal are not in Champions League.  Emery, with his multiple Europa League titles at Sevilla, is a proven winner at the current level Arsenal find themselves at.  The big trophies are not to be had, but there are other trophies worth winning.  And this guy is/was the right tool for this moment in time for the club.

In contrast, of the "Big 6" Tottenham have spent the least on transfers in the last 5 years. How can this possibly work? Granted Mourinho's last managerial post was in many regards a failure at Manchester United. In the 3 ...

Episode #41 Liverpool vs Manchester City in the EPL.  Bundesliga brotherly flop.  MLS Cup.  Arsenal shoved from top four. This past week was a Fabinho banger of big soccer matches.  Has Leicester City passed Arsenal in top four hierarchy?  Is Chelsea for real?  How did Liverpool dismantle Manchester City.  If a big match between two Bundesliga heavyweights occurred, would anybody know?  Memo is back in studio to break it all down.
