lazy comparison I know but that is exactly the mistake we made with oleThe last nine games have been unacceptable. To give him a new contract before the end of the season was a disgraceful decision as well.
Think they're 8th-9th on goals for and goals against, just baffling numbers.Just to add to the fact that they’ve lost more games than the worst Manchester United team in the history of the Premier League, Arteta’s team have scored fewer goals than they did last season. And conceded more. Progress.
Aww.Neville and Carragher going in hard
Because the likes of "tactico" analysis accounts whatever they call keep pushing propaganda like this.So many gooners defending him on twitter. It's baffling, what do people see in him. We're fecked.

In fairness I think English club fans in general lack standards and have a habit of accepting and defending a lot of shit.The reason for me I always had a hard time rating him is beyond results. Wins and losses are important but one can look beyond that if you have your side set to play dominant football but with arteta he has his side play such a boring football that one has to wonder what is he good at. Today in first half Newcastle had 71% possession during the 42nd minute mark. That should be unacceptable in such a important game.
I always feel he is a privileged coach , to be managing one of the biggest clubs in England (yes Arsenal are big) but yet there is no accountability. It's like finishing 5th is fine, finishing 8th is fine, getting Ko'd by Nottingham is fine, losing to spurs 3-0 is fine. His biggest achievement at Arsenal is to convince everyone that they are a shit side and whatever he does is amazing. And to add that giving him a new contact is icing on cake (for rival fans).
I won't agree. Chelsea fans always criticize their manager, United fans were split on Ole from day one to the fact even when he finished 2nd people wanted him gone. I am pretty sure City and Liverpool fans having tasted success in recent times won't tolerate finishing 8th. Heck even spurs fans had enough of Nuno at the start of the season. Arteta seems to have some sort of privilege both from fans and from board.In fairness I think English club fans in general lack standards and have a habit of accepting and defending a lot of shit.
It usually boils down to whether the owner is a parasite and exploits that.
He might just fancy another crucifixion instead.Surely this will hurt their transfer plans. Will Jesus want to go there?
You should have seen the Shed End forum at the end of Frank's tenure. About four fans openly admitted to being Lampard out and were made pariahs. AVB had a lot of backing aswell. Torres also got his name chanted regularly.I won't agree.

It’s an improvement on his own shit on a stick season. It’s still yet to improve on the manager he replaced.Thing is - finishing 5th (if they finish 5th) and getting 69 points (if they beat Everton) which is 8 more than last season (with worse GD than last season though) is an improvement.
Ohh that I agree, managing Barca or Madrid is a different level beast. Hey at least Ole and Lampard and Kenny were actual club legends and former two at the very least got them to CL football. Arteta I just don't get it.You should have seen the Shed End forum at the end of Frank's tenure. About four fans openly admitted to being Lampard out and were made pariahs.
Ole got some stick but similarly got it bloody easy compared to what he would have got at a similarly sized club to yours to which there's only one other. Legend or not Madrid fans would have chased him out of the City with a machine gun if Barca and Leti were sweeping it all up between them under his watch.
Liverpool fans were quite defensive over Kenny and Brendan even when things started snowballing.
I know this is primarily a thread to make fun of Mikel, but what in God's name is this. Pep does not "always" get to finals, he's only made it to semis with City twice!Because the likes of "tactico" analysis accounts whatever they call keep pushing propaganda like this.

What are they saying ?Neville and Carragher going in hard
Arteta has one thing he's world class at, PR in the media. No doubt Henry Winter will do a column by end of the week saying Arsenal were no course for relegation before he took over or something completely wrong.
Spending the amount of money he does, it's not too difficult to assemble a young squad. The question remains whether it's a good squad going forward when teams around them having normal season.I dunno if his ceiling is higher as manager, but he has done pretty well to assemble a young squad. They are 8 pts more than us. What can i say? Ralf is so poor!
Unless he's a short-circuiting android and said the exact same shite twice (possible), that's what he said after getting bummed by Spurs.Arteta after the Newcastle match.
"I am allowed to give my interpretation of what I thought, but I do not like to lie. I cannot say what I think, I will be canned.
I am so proud of my players, ask the referee to come here and explain his decisions. That's his decision, such a beautiful game was destroyed here."

FFS people don’t even say things like this about actually good managers like Pep and Klopp
