As per usual you are wrong. You seem to think I am some poster called Five To?? Wrong. I’ve stumbled across this place and found an echo chamber of anger and hate. The reality is that nothing you think will happen will happen. Arteta will not be sacked. The Board are as detached from the fan base as they have been through our entire history. My assumption is that you aren’t a long term Arsenal fan if you can’t get it into your noggin that Arsenal does not do knee jerk. We appoint fairly long term managers. We get occasional short term stays like Rioch and Emery but they are few and far between. They were sacked because they lost the dressing Room (Wright) or were taking us backwards (Emery). Arteta has improved us. No debate. So he isn’t going anywhere. When we lose a game on penalties we haven’t been beaten 10 at home. We’ve missed a hatful of chances. Arteta has clearly got the Summer window wrong. But that isn’t going to undo 5 years of good work is it? We are owned by the Kroenke’s, not my Abramovich. Wise up!

As for the insults. You know you are winning the argument when that’s all the oppo is resorting to. :barscarf:

Mate, there you go again, you’re absolutely nuts. :lol:

I’ll challenge you to find one post where I’ve said Arteta will be sacked, just one. I’ve said he should be if we win fuck all this season, but have been very clear that he won’t be. I’ve also been very clear that I think he’s got 2-3 more years even if they’re unproductive. So once again, you don’t read what people say, but just project your nonsense and misrepresent/misquote.

Nothing that I think will happen will happen eh? Tell me what I think will happen, but it won’t be based on anything I’ve written on here, but only from your own fevered brain. As for the board being detached from the fanbase…really?? We’ll blow me, who have thought that? Thanks for the heads up. :lol:

You’ll find very few on here who think Arteta will be gone anytime soon or who think the Kroenkes are in tune with the support, but of course, you know what we all think and to hell with what we actually say.

You also seem to think that me and the majority on here are basing our opinions on the Utd game alone. We’ve seen this coming and predicted most of it. I’ve said in here more than once that he’s improved things, but he blew it over the last two summers and any good work he’s done is coming apart at the seams. He’s done, it’s over for him and the remainder of this season will be grim. Sadly, unless it’s an off the scale disaster, he’s not getting sacked and no one thinks so.

You really are an arrogant, condescending and judgemental clown. Most of the guys on here have forgotten more about the game than you’ll ever know and you dismiss their comments and reshape them to suit your bonkers narrative. Given the way that you constantly ignore what people say and quote them as saying something entirely different, I genuinely think you might need psychiatric help. For your sake, I hope it’s just moronic wumming.

That really is it from me. I can’t waste anymore time on the bollocks you come out with.
Spitalfields you say? How about we have a pint one lunchtime. I’ll pop out from my office. Be there in 5 minutes.
:popcorn:

Fight fight fight fight fight :lol: :lol:

A few things crossed my mind here,

How will you two recognise each other :rubchin:

Does Retro wear a red rose ?

Does Limerick walk in the pub sipping his fruit shoot through his Arsenal water bottle ?

Is this like meeting someone on the sports field in school lunchtime for a tear up ?

Or meeting them round the back of the bike sheds for a kiss and light fingering?

Could this lead to the first marriage from two members on this forum ?

Are we all going to be invited to the wedding ?

If so what to wear :rubchin:

If it was a john terry type ceremony do we all wear a full Arsenal kit under our suits :lol:

I'm excited to hear how this all unfolds :D

I mean the meeting place Spitalfields does sound like somewhere out of a Brokeback Mountain type novel :shock: :lol:

Good luck guys, we're all rooting for you :barscarf:
:coffeespit: :lol: :lol:

Superb Lefty. Superb. 8) 8)

Well tbf mate I had to edit the last line, I had typed "we're all rimming for you" :shock: those pesky Freudian Slips :lol:

Read the comments on BBC article about what's wrong with arsenal. Some stupid bint going on about backing manager come what may. Facking women fans..

Know your place!

But sums up a lot of fan base. They don't want what's best for club.

Edit not a bint but Quinton so a uphill gerdener...

Linky

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co ... 7xzylo.amp

Linda doesn't blame arteta as he's not missing the chances...yes Linda but who selects and signs those that are missing and doesn't sign any alternatives???

Shit performance mostly tonight but a great win over the scum. I'm so happy right now. But it changes nothing for me. Win the league now or leave, Arteta.
