Scum have sacked Mourinho. They don't fuck about with projects!
Well they’ve not won the league in 60 years so perhaps they should fuck about with projects! :lol:

The Kroenkes will throw Arteta under the bus in the summer. Just watch. It is the only way to win the fans back. Arteta will carry the can for 2020/21. A new manager with a new start and a new promise to clear out the dead wood and to improve the style of play. The new manager will be an experienced old head. My guess is Rafa Benitez when it should be someone like Conte.

Which fans? The ones who haven't been allowed in a stadium for over a year??

This bloke has a worse record than the last one - ask yourself why he's here now?

He stays, we go down, then he goes

No ESL, No Europe. He goes. Financially we are bust. Have you seen the losses year on year? They are only going to get worse. KSE will have him out as soon as we are knocked out of the Europa League. He is toast.

The Europa League is a loss making competition until the SF stage. The losses were when we tumbled out the CL and every top team has lost money during COVID

This *word censored* is safe as the wig wearing wanker won't pay what it takes to fire his sorry ass

The type of supporters that are only "turning" now, are the same supporters that will back him again when we beat villareal :roll: :evil:

How does it take a 9th home defeat in a season to get gobshites like this to turn ? Mid table mediocrity not enough to make them lose faith ?? :shock:

To be honest, I asked the same question, last night, on an “Arsenal fans” WhatsApp group I’m in and I’m still waiting for an answer.

0 points out 6 vs Villa
0 points out of 6 vs Wolves
0 points out of 6 vs Everton
1 points out of 6 vs Burnley

Failure to score in EIGHT home games, out of 17 SO FAR. THIRTEEN league defeats SO FAR.

Wolves beat us at home for the first time in something like 41 years. Burnley beat us at home for the first time since 46 years. Everton beat us at home for the first time in 25 years.

Every game has been shambolic. Arteta keeps telling us that things are “unacceptable” but never changes them. His tactics are all over the shop. His substitutions are pulled out of a hate, and almost never benefit the game.

I can’t understand just how this is, at all, acceptable to fans. I know we have fallen, but to such an extent we just accept this shit? This is horrible.

When he put on Willian last night that was probably the tipping point for me into the Arteta out camp.
I won’t be fully Arteta out whilst we remain in the Europa though.
I’m quite happy to back team and manager whilst winning that is a possibility - if/when we get knocked out that is a different matter.

I'm fairly sure that's the only thing still keeping him in the job Rob.

I've never understood this viewpoint Rob. I want to win the EL but I also want Martinez-Lite gone ASAP. The two are not mutually exclusive.

But they are "mutually exclusive"
If we win Elge, you are calling for a successful manager to be sacked!
You can't have your cake and eat it DB!
It's one or the other!
Losing to the pathetic wretch that is Unai Emery, could prove a mantle that Arteta can't shake off!

No they are not mutually exclusive. I want Arteta gone. In the meantime I want Arsenal to win trophies. I don't care who wins those trophies for us. If Arteta gets his shit together and starts winning major trophies (very unlikely) then I'd have no problem with him staying. Equally I've no problem with him being sacked and a caretaker managing us for the final - if we get that far.

I'm not so wrapped up in my Internet persona that I want the man to fail just to prove me right on a forum ffs. The most important thing is winning trophies.
