Arteta

[Goat]

Take him out then: Rom, Kanchelskis

Soon: James, Richi, DCL, Ben God

Andrei you can have.

Get that name changed, you've backed another loser

It was never about The Arsenal manager.

I make that a 10-8 round, moi

Dust yourself down, go again

Still the best player weve had for the last 30 years.

Obviously Lukaku and Baines were better like.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Can I just say that I disliked Arsenal before it was cool to do so?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Still the best player weve had for the last 30 years.

People can hate him for kissing the Arsenal badge but no one can deny how good he was for us before his cruciate injury. That goal v Fiorentina. Trampoline shins mouthing off every transfer window is nowhere near the best little Spaniard in my affections.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Cahill was a better player for us

 

[Mr. White]

Lots of questions from the Sky Sports interviewer... all probing and provocative. MA handled it well. Still, time is probably running out for him at Arsenal. He is a good guy, so I wish him well...

Regardless of his ability as a manger, Arsenal are a sinking ship and have been for at least 5 years

Owner doesn't care as long as he makes money and the entire club relying on its reputation from the Wenger years and London location to give it a huge fanbase

I don't see them getting relegated, but they could easily drift into the quagmire we've been in

 

[Ollie d]

Loved him as a player for us but as soon as he joined Arsenal he turned his nose up at us. A great player but reputation with our fans ruined mainly.

 

[radiostar]

Not looking good for him at the moment is it!

 

[klingklang]

Played them in the FA Cup, I was there when he came over to take a corner, 3;000 blues stood up to applaud him. Fast forward an hour later, he scored and kissed the Arsenal badge, thats when he lost me and thousands others.

I dont think there was any other calculation going on with those who wanted Arteta than the fact he was a former player they liked and that he was an assistant to Guardiola.

Those of us opposing that move were underlining the fact he had even less experience than The Galoot. He'd had one match in the CL in the City dugout and they lost it.

It was form over content. Typical of the way modern day football fans think. These players should never be allowed near a top flight team unless they've proven they can manage at a lower level or abroad. Arteta was always odds on to be the embodiment of the Peter Principle.

We'll have see if he gets time to turn it around - and - if he gets that time, he actually can turn it around.
As you say, it all might be...given the dogs state Arsenal seem to be in, too much too soon and while he has all the theory and the tools just not the experience to know yes it needs hitting with a hammer...anybody can do that.
The real trick is knowing where to hit.
