Nice post mate. The record he should be most proud of course is this one........the playing mantis wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 9:01 pmI liked Emery from day one and were glad we appointed him, the thought of Arteta filled me with bile.
It had no basis in any logic other than being one of peps many assistants. He wasn't even a club legend ffs (not that I'd want an unproven one, but you could maybe understand why a club legend gets appointed)...a good solid midfielder in our years of rapid decline, so not exactly difficult to stand out, who carried on 2 seasons too long when his legs had gone and became a liability. He should have no credit on the bank from anyone.
However Emery was the wrong man at wrong time in hindsight. I was at the game Laca equalized in the last minute i thonk, and no one knew what to do, celebrate or not as it was in a run of utter dross performances on the pitch with us seemingly having no tactics, no plan and no idea and it was clear Dick had lost it, be it the players or simply not being up to it, but he has to go.
This however doesn't in anyway mean he wasn't better than the flange in charge now. He has even less idea on tactics, plan, system, progress than Dick and is a absolute disaster, but that doesn't make Dick any better come the end of his tenure.
Both were/are not the right men at the times appointed for the club. I thought Dick might have been but ultimately not, his fault or not.
I see plenty on here (all bar Rob and Thynker) wanting Arteta gone, but o need to rewrite history and pretend dick was the man. Give me a choice of both and i'd have kept Dick no question, but it was a choice akin to being shat on or puked on.
I understand Stevos anger, about Arteta breaking all these bad records with impunity, but what does he expect with this board (all the shit they let wenger get away with and drag us down) and our retarded fan base.
The same fans who think Arteta has a system, and we are making progress are the very same as those who excused Wenger and wanted him to remain. We have to accept our Fan base on the whole is a load of wankers.

Even this forum will struggle to find someone who remembers that campaign from 91 years ago! Nine HOME defeats FFS - almost unthinkable. Seven of those in the league which is worse than Brighton, Burnley, Palace and Newcastle.
All hail the record breaker!
When people say he won't get us relegated I'd admire their confidence because this goon is hitting depths not seen in almost a century, so don't rule anything out. Those teams I've listed above are all perennial relegation candidates and we've been saved by half a dozen games by the kids around Christmas
