Mikel Arteta, success or failure? - Merged thread.

[OneBardGooner]

For the record: even though I think Arteta is an arrogant arsehole who (sadly) will; having changed the very divided and suicidal culture of many of the fans and so temporarily uniting the majority of the fanbase once more, he will because of his narrow minded, belligerent, arrogant refusal to admit to his failings ( havertz, raya, kiwior, zinchenko, in-game-management) eventually Undo any of the good work he has achieved so far and we shall all end up back up Shitcreek without a paddle or snorkel, just as we were when the demented despotic Wenger was ousted.

BUT I hate Eddie the fat-faced-eat-shitand still grin whilst sucking a smelly cock even more. So anyone saying we would cream ourselves had we appointed Eddie and his bitch Tindall is Delusional.

See if this makes any kind of 'sense' instead of the inane Bollocks it sounds to me

"Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on why he didn't sign a striker in January: "I will wait until Sunday and if we score a lot of goals? I think like this, I love my players and on Sunday we are going to score goals and be top. The players fully deserve our credit. Do I trust in the players? Absolutely."

He's in full Wenger mode there. Never fear, he'll soon be taking us to the next level, which is the.....errr, next level.

He also said some weird stuff about Zinchenko and white sharing wives and everything. I can only guess that Zinchenko has trouble covering his wife's left-hand side so White has to help him out.

Might explain why White is reluctant to come inside and prefers to go around the back

Made me Laugh Out Loud there Guys !


What is (well kind of) Ironic is that Ben White is anything but.

Thing is Arteta may want a player but does he or Edu have the final nod of the head to the kroenkes to splash the cash?

[the playing mantis]

Us Wilson has jumped the shark.

I'm out.

Its pigeon chess

You have him in check, then he shits on the table, knocks all the pieces out and struts around all puffed up as if he's won the game.

Waste of time chaps


He's clueless.

Marquinhos cost 3m. Matt Turner was bought as a back up keeper, never played a league game and was sold for a profit - what's the issue?

How have we surged up the table if all his signings are shit?

Although my biggest issue if the blind faith belief replacing Arteta means we would get better. No one is willing to admit Conte if he replaced Arteta, could turn into a fuking disaster.

[wilson2.0]

If we sacked Arteta. He would win a top 5 domestic league title before we win the PL.

Please answer the questions Augie asked.

It's all for research

The Kroenkes gave him £250m to spent in the summer.I'm no fan of the Kroenkes but the argument that they haven't backed Arteta with money just doesn't hold water. We have spent £700m in Arteta's reign and he won one FA Cup with Emery's team

You don’t read what people write do you? Actually, I think you read it but choose to apply your own bad faith understanding. How many times do people have to say that replacing Arteta would be no guarantee of success. It’s always a risk.

However, keeping him is absolutely no guarantee of success. Losers settle for mediocrity. Winners realise that calculated risk is necessary. He’s had 4 years and 700 million and how much further on are we? We’ll get nowhere near the title this season and the team have clearly regressed. Worst of all, he’s got the Wenger gene and won’t admit he’s wrong.

As for him winning a league title, he might have a chance with one of the big two in Scotland, but that’s about his level.

Everyone’s asking…would you mind answering augie’s questions please?
