'THE FA IS A JOKE'

DON'T MES IT UP
UNAI EMERY has been proven to be right in his decision to drop Mesut Ozil for Arsenal's trip to Bournemouth.

MATCH ON
ARSENAL'S Europa League clash against Ukrainian side Vorskla Poltava is set to go ahead even after the introduction of martial law in the country for 30 days.

OUS DA MAN

GUNNER NEED MORE
SOKRATIS PAPASTATHOPOLOUS has claimed that the Arsenal players struggled to adapt to Unai Emery's latest tactics in their win over Bournemouth.
The Spanish coach changed things up, playing three at the back for the first time this season, and the Greek defender thinks they need to improve by 30 per cent to reach top four.

Unai Emery left the German as an unused substitute — but fans were not impressed by his replacement on the pitch in Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
OZ LOST

The German was dropped as Sokratis returned to the line-up in a five-man defence.
LET DEM SWAP

AD TOO MUCH

The Arsenal legend, 52, claims alcohol addiction took its toll on him and his parents, remembering one particular night out in Essex.
PEAK PRACTICE
ARSENAL are under new management — by order of Peaky Blinders fan Unai Emery.
Emery knows he must also improve his command of the English language… so he is watching programmes like the BBC’s period crime drama about the Shelby family starring Cillian Murphy.
EMERY LIKE A SIEVE
UNAI EMERY fears Arsenal’s defensive frailties will wreck his dream of a top-four finish.
The Gunners have conceded three times as many Premier League goals as Manchester City and Liverpool this season — 15 compared to just five for the top two.
