Just seen a post online saying that Odegaard lost possession 20 times yesterday. Now, there's a lot of bollocks posted as we know so I haven't fact checked it, but if that's true then it sums up what an absolute goon he's been this season. When the going gets tough, he gets out. Some shit performances yesterday including Calafiori, but isn't this supposed to be our leader ?

Certainly wouldn't surprise me if that stat is accurate. Plenty of us on here yesterday slating him. Possibly the worst game I've seen him have for us.

He's shite and he's a fucking coward..Never captain material either.. Everyone and their aunty were going on about what a huuuuuge miss he was when he was injured but in truth he's utterly pish without Saka on the wing..Saka has been digging us out of the shite since the year dot that much is obvious now that he's crocked.

There's something else Falky that I pointed out 2 or 3 months ago.....while it was a welcome change to see us have a serious threat and be scoring goals from set pieces, those goals were frequently getting us out of trouble in games and disguising our total lack of threat from open play. Well, teams are coping with our corners and free kicks now and the goals have dried up. Suddenly its glaringly obvious that we pose no other threat. Has it crossed anyone's mind at the club that a striker or two might have helped?? Nah, doubt it.

I've seen numerous posts online since yesterday blaming mean old Stan for the state of this squad. Kroenke might not have stumped up any cash in January but when Arteta has had numerous windows to sort out the CF position, why the fuck would Kroenke give him a cent. Imagine trying to save things yesterday and he throws on Zinchenko, what awful squad assembly by this novice spoofer.

The title is well gone so if it takes a car crash end to the season for this spoofer to be under serious pressure then so be it , fuck off Arteta, go back to collecting cones at City, all you're good for :banghead:

One week Howard Pleb says 'we don't want to re-referee' games with VAR then the next week you see exactly that in multiple games. PGMOL is a joke.

Playing like City did 5 years ago is not the answer. Possession and controlling a game by keeping the ball wins fuck all. Arteta has reverted to what Pep did back then thinking it'll work again?? Some people say Arteta is 'generational', special..........he's done well getting Arsenal to a level, spending money just doesn't work on it's own, just look at United, but it really looks like Arteta does not have what it takes to get over the line and he's now regressing. It's not exaggeration to say finishing in the top 4 is going to be a tough battle this season. We've just struggled to beat a Leicester team who are one of the worst PL teams in the last 20 years and we've now lost at home to a West Ham side who had lost 5 out of 6 and conceded 47 goals this season! Forest will probably do us 3-0 and United must be licking their lips with us coming to town soon! :banghead:

Hands up I dont know fcuk all about the young striker kid who has been on the bench for the last two games, so I dont know if he is any good or not, BUT if at 22 years of age he isnt worthy of getting a chance in games where you need a goal, then why is he still in the club ?? We all know that there are facets to a strikers game that is more about natural instincts that any other position in the team, and as many of us expected merino's showing v leicester was never likely to be repeated, so if there is anything to the kids game then shouldnt he at least get 10-15 mins ??

Anyone slagging the Kroenke's funding is talking through their holes.
The only criticism I'd have of them is their naivety, the bought the bullshit wenker fed them and now they are doing the same with Arteta.
I've said before we do owe Arteta some thanks for dragging us out of the gutter and sparing us from 4,5,6 goal hammerings every time we played top opposition (i still consider the 10 goal 2 legged hammering by bayern as the worst in our history and no manager at another top club would have survived that)
The time is up though for Arteta, I'd have loved him to have proved a lot of wankers on here wrong, but he fell just short.
Hopefully he will practice what he is preaching and " look at himself in the mirror" then he could still walk away with my respect.
If he continues then it will get worse and he will leave us in a mess that someone will have to sort out.
The fact is we're not far away, decent keeper, some decent defenders, some good youngsters and saka to come back.
We need a quality striker some back up and the midfield needs sorted, hopefully that would see Rice back to his best.

Said the same yesterday - if the lad isn't worthy of a sub showing now, then pray tell when will he be worth a run out?

So the "wankers" were right and not wrong. In which case, they can't justifiably be called wankers.

Personally, I wouldn't call those that thought Arteta was the answer wankers, but I think it's fair to question their judgement.

Anyway, time's up now, that should be beyond dispute.

No! The people I'm calling wankers are those who were never going to give him a chance!
You are basically saying that any new Arsenal manager must win the league, like we have some pre defined right to it!
Reminds me of UTD wanker fans just like those on here, in the pre fergie days!
Arteta whilst not winning the league has given us back some self respect!
It's time however for him to go!

True... One of the first things he did was (Re)unite the Fan Base after all the Damage that TOF did by hanging on for 10
years beyond his Sell-By-date!

True (again) This is his first job of Managing a Club (a Big ) Club 'solo', having stepped out of Pep's limelight / shadow or whatever and he did Okay at first, but sadly it turned out that he was just 'Out Of HIs Depth'

Naaah! You sound alright to me mate! (*)

Like quite a few on here, funnily enough, the majority of whom seemed to be the Irish lads, I never believed that Arteta should have been given the job. That had nothing to do with him personally (although I will admit to finding it difficult to warm to the guy), but because he was a complete managerial novice, who hadn't even been an assistant for that long and a club of our stature and supposed ambitions (hmmm), should not be rolling the dice and allowing a fledgling to cut his teeth as Arsenal manager.

I will agree that as of a year or 18 months ago, the team looked to be in better shape than the one he inherited, but he peaked last season and now it's all in a downward spiral. If he's allowed to stay beyond the end of this season, then we risk being no further forward than we were when the Old Fraud finally fucked off. That will be especially true if the likes of Saliba, Gabriel and Saka seek pastures new and I've no doubt that the vultures will be circling to pick off our stars, who will already be realising that they won't win the big prizes (or any fucking prizes) under Arteta.

He came up short, but should never have had the job. Time to go.
