Getting knocked out on away goals from a game that kicks off at 5:55pm, at home, in Greece, on a Thursday would be our greatest ever achievement.

Don't get to a Semi at least (oo-er) then unfortunately we need to think about getting a replacement in - we wouldn't tolerate this shit under wenger or emery so despite Arteta having a lot more charisma and having youth on his side, it's not gonna be enough for me to persevere with him during this rebuilding job.
BTW - I hardly use this site anymore, but whenever I do it feels even more fucked than last time
seriously, what's with the really slow loading times and shitty adverts?
Yes, the forum runs S. L. O. WWW so that some of the members on here can read something then come up with something they think is funny.

Augie - you forget who is running this club.
Arteta should never have been appointed in the first place but since he has been I think we all need to get behind him for now.
Personally I am giving him until the end of the season. if we don’t finish in the top 7 then maybe he needs to be questioned.
But our board dont forget has not got the vision to bring in someone like Tuchel - we are unlikely to get anyone any better at the moment

It's a reasonable point Rob but tbh Arteta has no experience of being a manager. Almost (ALMOST SteveO so fucking forget Dyche ) any other experienced manager would be a step up for us. Arteta is clueless. He has no idea what his best eleven is and has zero in game management skills.Gunner Rob wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 10:00 pmAugie - you forget who is running this club.

it was bad enough losing to Olympiakos a year ago. Should he repeat that this year against a team which look even worse than Olympiakos then I agree it is not looking good for him.

In fairness buddy, you cant use tonights win as a vindication of arteta - benfica are so shit that they make olympiakos look like our invincables or like the great brazil teams of the 70s and 80s

We haven't a hope of winning this competition.
The thing that puzzles me though, is Arteta's biggest detractors on here want us to win it!!
If that did happen, they would have no justification in calling for him to be sacked, even if we finished in the bottom half of the table!!

I'm back to the situation where I want a proper manager in charge - anything else is window dressing imo and, much as it was in latter wenger years, short term success will only prolong the agony of this fool being in charge

How the hell could anyone not want us to win this competition? We've lost our fucking minds if that's where we're at.

It's not that I do or dont want us to win this competition, it's that I am largely indifferent (mainly cos I have no confidence that we will win it). My ethos and ambitions have not changed over the past 3 seasons - I want to see us improving all the time more than I want to see short term success. Can anyone say with belief that winning the cup last season has made us a better team ? Does any fan really believe that this is a team heading in the right direction ?
