Switched on the playstation after their first goal.
I've seen it too many times to watch again.
Arteta out.

Found out every time it matters by a proper manager not some glorified lower league assistant coach. Players and tactics are basically the B/C version of successful and dominant teams and that's why it never works at the big moments. We can put in the occasional fantastic performance but when it comes to it, Arteta and the players he's bought aren't good enough. It's that simple. There's no culture of winning anything so the players don't know what it takes to do it and the manager is a fuckingnl nobody and should be down in league one or in lower league Spain.SteveO 35 wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 9:01 pmToo little too late. I think Robbo called it earlier "glorious failure"
In some ways it sounds harsh because the team could have been a couple of goals up inside 10 minutes and their keeper has now made at least 5 absolutely top drawer saves over the two legs
However, one has to ask why always the nearly men? League runners up, losing semi finalists domestically and internationally. Can it really always be refs or rank bad luck?
Lack of quality in the final third and a Partey brainfart was the difference as I see it. More passes, more possession, more shots. But when it counted at the crucial moments, found wanting. Enrique has turned round a bunch of failures here whilst we are 5 and a half years into a project where we are just perennial bridesmaids
It's a really rough feeling
If you want a culture of success, you get in managers who know what it takes to win things. Dippers did it twice in the last decade. It's not fucking difficult. Find a manager who has won stuff, not a fucking supply teacher who can cover a week of middle school craft and deign and make a poster about recycling week or whatever. It's been a ridiculous experiment and the shit has to end now. Fuck off and get things sorted this summer.

Odeargod HAS TO GO! Captain Invisible is Totally Ineffective.
Tonight was always going to be a tough ask, but for the first 25 mins we played extremely well, but no end product ... or as Ole Will might opine:
A Striker, A Striker, a Kingdom for my Striker.
Thanks Edu you Sneaky Conniving Cūnt... it was he who told Kroenke not to give Arteta the money for a Striker... The he fucks off mid-season...
Even so Arteta Has To Go. 5 Years + £800 Million spent (mainly on shyte and chav rejects) and what have we got to show for all that Wonga? 1 FA Cup and two finishes 2nd in the Prem... Oh! Whooopy Fuckin' Do!
Every time I see/hear Arteta in pre & Post Games Pressers now, he sounds more and more and more like TOF... The Arrogance and Utter Bollocks Talk just oozes out of him.
#ArtetaOut.

Some of the Arteta fan boys will say that calling for him to go is a knee jerk reaction, but it absolutely isn't. The people that are saying it now and will say it in the days and weeks to come, have been saying it for a long time. This CL QF and SF was simply a chance to wait and see whether another season could be justified. Well, that possibility of another season should now be dead in the water. For me, this was his last chance.
The lack of a proper CF...regardless of Jesus and Havertz....was always going to cost us and tonight showed it up as much as it ever has. He deserves to go for that alone. Others have listed the others in the team that have come up short this season and Odegaard is now a major issue.
In truth, we're not at the level of a proper CL semi final side.
It's the Wenger years all over again and MKll needs to go. Won't happen of course.

Great decision not to purchased a striker in January then when we fucking needed one.
Re: PSG A Big lugs Semi final 2nd Weds 7th May KO 8pm
When the dust settles you'd hope someone of any standing at the club would ask why we've got a bench full of crap loanees, kids and never will be's and why poor Mikel Merino is playing CF in the biggest game in the club's recent history.
Heard so much about our injury crisis but hands up who thinks we would have knocked out PSG if Jesus or Havertz had been playing. Come on lads, I can't see your hands up
I just hope this new director of football has some fucking clout and know how....and more importantly has the ability to point out to Arteta the obvious glaring weaknesses in this squad and fix them. If he doesn't have that ability or clout then he's a wasted wage too

We’ve built a new house costing £800m but the roof blew off in January and we thought we could get through the rest of the season without one. When it’s sunny it’s fine. But any time it rains we look utter wankers when the house floods.
Why the fucking fuck have we built a squad and then refused to buy a goal scorer or even a back up winger? Self harm doesn’t even come close.

Unbelievable what these players are doing

I can imagine at most clubs, supporters may feel disheartened at losing a major European semi-final but maybe optimistic about next year and the slight adjustments that should be made to maybe take them to the final and win it. Not us, no. Most of my disappointment stems more from fact that we won't get anywhere fucking close to the semi-final again for fucking donkeys years, we won't improve this summer, we'll be in the same shit next season and we'll have more of the same fucking shit with Indefinitely Beige in charge. Until he's fucking gone we are FUCKED. FUCKED in the sense that we simply won't win a fucking thing under him.

Re: PSG A Big lugs Semi final 2nd Weds 7th May KO 8pm
Bottom line is we (still) face the same problems we faced when TOF was refusing to go and clinging on by his finger nails and his Arrogance..
The Krankies may be good at Business but they don't know ANYTHING about Football (or should that be Soccerrrrrr!
)...
And just like it was with TOF as long as the Money keeps rolling in... The Waiting List for Season Tickets is now even longer... The Tourists are aplenty and happy to pay through the nose for a "Game Day Experience"...
So the Krankies won't get rid of Arteta unless something BIG TIME goes awry and even then if the profits a keep coming in...KERRCHHHINNGGG! They'll stick with him... And anyone with a sphincter can see he is So Arrogant that there is No Way He'll Walk...
There needs to be the Biggest Clear-Out in the modern history ofd the Club.... But having already splashed £800 Million, I just don't see the Krankies spending the Kind of Money that such an action would require to be able to be done.
We've got some Great Youngsters at the club...I can see Nwaneri signing for someone else if he isn't given Serious Game Time; which he deserves by the way...
Also of course there is the un-written / un-spoken Understanding that Odeargawd is Captain for the remainder of his time at the club...Even though he Stinks The Place Out.
I just don't know anymore, it is so fuckin' Depressing. I feel like we have gone Full Circle back to the time of the Wenger Out Protests and That was an awful time to be a Gooner.

Re: PSG A Big lugs Semi final 2nd Weds 7th May KO 8pm
Disappointed and angry in equal measures.
Disappointed that we had some good chances and the keeper made some excellent saves. Take those and it was in our hands. We played well enough away from home against PSG, but the usual issues were there to see, Captain Milksop was shit again, silly mistakes and lack of management.
But I'm so fucking angry that we haven't got a striker. Even the commentators mentioned it. The number of times the ball came in and no one took a gamble. It is total and utter fucking negligence by Diet Pep, and for that alone he should be sacked.
Even second place in the league isn't guaranteed, blow that and he should be shown the door immediately.
He's won nothing in five years and his record in cups is shocking. Time to go.
