Weren't some of them saying the fixture list is a conspiracy against Woolwich? I'm looking at it right now and they literally do not have a difficult game until they play us in October. We've got chelsea and city in that time.

They'll look for any excuse.

They could easily be in the top 1 or 2 by then, they'll all get very carried away.....before the tough games come round and they fall away again

Mikel Arteta kept dossier of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s misdemeanours at Woolwich​

Mikel Arteta kept a dossier of all the times Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was late before stripping him of the Woolwich captaincy.
Director of football Edu admitted it was difficult to back Arteta’s decision to exile the striker, who was dropped from the team in December before Woolwich’s executive celebrated terminating his contract in the final minutes of the January transfer window, before he then joined Barcelona.
And Arteta revealed in Amazon Prime’s All or Nothing documentary that he made a record of all the damning evidence he had assembled about Aubameyang.
He explained to Woolwich’s communications director Mark Gonnella: “That’s why I have everything documented with the dates, the times, when it happened, how it happened. He has been late apart from all the issues many times.”
In a meeting with Edu and chief executive Vinai Venkatesham, director of football operations Richard Garlick said: “Mikel has a file, a catalogue of misdemeanours, which culminated in this.”
Aubameyang, who cost Woolwich £56million when he joined from Borussia Dortmund in 2018, scored 92 goals for the club and had 18 months remaining on a contract worth £350,000 a week when Arteta decided to get rid of him because their relationship had broken down.
Edu said it was not easy to support his manager’s decision to dispense with the prolific forward, explaining: “No, because [of] how many goals Aubameyang score for the club.”
Garlick and Edu planned to speak to both the striker and the manager, aiming to reintegrate the striker into the squad for the rest of the season.
They felt it was a no-win situation. “Everyone is losing,” said Edu. Garlick added: “This problem is not going away.”
Woolwich goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale said during the impasse that he hoped Aubameyang would be picked again but Arteta said they had reached the point of no return: “When I look in his eyes and saw that level of trust was gone.”
The club’s powerbrokers then decided that they were better off paying Aubameyang off than loaning him out, with Edu admitting: “No one is going to buy him. If he goes on loan it is the worst possible scenario for us.”
Garlick added: “We don’t want him coming back. We want a clean break. Long term, the club is in a much better position.”

Honestly, when this happened it actually made me question whether or not I was wrong about lego head and he could actually make good decisions. No respectable coach is going to put up with that, especially from your captain, and if I remember correctly they were struggling a little until that happened but then went on a run. It actually seemed like an astute move but super risky considering they didn't have a reliable goal scorer any longer.

Aside from their last four games, this period of the show will no doubt be the most interesting.
 
The latest clip Amazon posted is of his team talk before they bravely 'competed' with Man City... and lost 2-1. All the comments are Woolwich fans saying this is when they knew they were the real deal, how can they say that with a straight face when we beat City home and away last year, one of those times with fucking Nuno in charge!

They are such a bunch of weirdos. Basically Arteta fell out with Aubameyang around the time the player got covid yet Arteta accused him of dodging training whilst in fact he was ill. I remember Arteta giving some sarcastic interview on tv about it saying the play can’t train because he’s apparently sick. After that Arteta has basically compiled a list of excuses to be able to get rid of the player. Its obvious he hates anyone who challenges him at all or he sees as a threat. The players will eventually lose respect for him and he will lose the dressing room because unless he changes he will continue to fall out with them.
