On the Arsenal website there is a cooking with Arteta and Odegaard video :shock:
Plenty of side to side dishes and how to use a slow,slow cooker.
Sounds like a Win Win situation. :D :wink:

Good article in The Independent

https://www.msn.com/en-ie/sports/footba ... 9a59&ei=10

I especially like the line early in the article where is suggests that there is a growing realisation within the club that to maximise gyokeres we need to release the ball earlier/faster and that is not compatible with ohdeargod and saka - I suggested months ago that a number 9 shouldnt be our number 1 priority when everyone in the media said it was, and now that we have one they are suggesting that we might have an issue with the supply line :lol: :lol:

Apparently he has been appointed "Director of horseshit" or something at Under Armour. I'd prefer if he concentrated solely on the job with Arsenal that is paying him millions and that he has not made much of a success of tbh. :roll:

Yes they did for about 6 years / seasons




What the Actual Fuck is he Trying To Do... Taking on another Role/Position Etc

Maybe he should ensure he is Successful in One (as Our so-called Manager) Before trying his luck in another! :banghead:

Big Tone spelling it out......would be hard for any reasonable fan to disagree

In true legohead fashion he's bigged up Ohdeargod for the weekend....most likely with the inevitable results.

I agree with him about ødegaard but for me Gabriel should be captain

I fcuking love Big Tone and he calls it exactly as any right minded Gooner will - the kind of c.unts that stand by the cone boy probably never seen TA6 play and dont understand what real leadership looks like and TA6 was born a captain and born a winner. Irony is, that had the cone boy been TA6's manager when he done porridge, he likely would have bombed him out of the club cos he wouldnt have reflected "his values" :roll: :banghead: :banghead:

I seen this doing the rounds on social media and the amount of cùnts slagging TA off and saying they don't respect the opinion of an alco :banghead:
That's what you're dealing with when it comes to the modern day 'fan' in which Arteta is beyond reproach and how dare any fan question why he made the invisible man captain :shock:
