Barcelona sniffing around Arteta again. And why wouldn't they. All you need to do is watch Arsenal games to see how well drilled we are. How good we are set up tactically.

The prevailing sentiment that Arteta should be sacked and we 'give someone else a go' has to be one of them most self-sabotage means of thinking ive seen in a long time. Some of the names that people have dropped to replace Arteta with are utter mental. Namely that fraud in Brighton who couldn't set up a chess board let alone a football defence. Please Liverpool go for De Zerbi after Xabi rejects you for Bayern.
It's ok just admit it you find de zerbi handsome.

No one has mentioned him in an age but you.

And thr barca nonsense, much like your swivel eyed rants about klopp signing martinelli...

There does appear to be an strange obsession with De Zerbi.

Someone included him in a list of probably 10+ names of potential managerial replacements and "bang" that was it, Wilson has been off on one about the bloke ever since. It's as though De Zerbi has been constantly touted by all of us as the guy that Arteta MUST be replaced with. :lol:

I've only been on here a few months and can't say that I've seen anyone mention de Zerbi, except Wilson.
It's like some kind of teen gay obsession :gayflag:

I think I raised concerns about de zerbi on here a few months ago cos he seems to be rotating the shit out of that brighton team and they cant get any consistent run of form going as a result - I cant believe that the media havent gone after him about it when you consider how they treated rainieri for doing the same thing

Got drunk, went on a rant, disappeared afterwards :wink: :lol:
That's about it. :lol:

He got pissed, came on here and had a rant, called us all sperz fans because we did not love Arteta enough, told everyone to fuck off, and when I politely asked him to calm down he flounced off in a huff and hasn't been back since. Which is a shame really. I liked sid. But he did post some stuff I could never condone or agree with.
