In all seriousness I have no idea, but if he wasn't nominated during that 22 game unbeaten run, then he should have been. Can one of you cùnts do a Google on that please?*

We all know that 22 game unbeaten run was all down to Mislintat's genius wasn't it............only the losses were down to Emery

Anyway all hail king Mikel for his errr......8 game unbeaten run *


* not including the cup of course......but we all know that doesn't matter anymore.........10th is where it's at !

Surely he must go after these latest two defeats. Just because a couple of young players have showed promise recently he was given a stay of execution. But we are still a team in decline, and Arteta must go now.

As I said straight after the cup exit, i doubt the people defending that decision at the time will be saying the same after February.

This is going to get a lot, lot worse before he inevitable gets the tin tack.

As a young manager learning from older heads in my game I was always taught "pride comes before a fall" and "if you're gonna fail, fail fast" i.e. if you've fucked up, admit it rather than defend it, rectify it and move on

Any manager makes a mistake whether they're 37 or 67. The best ones learn from it. The worst ones adopt a stubbornness and try defending every mistake.

Bellerin has been shit for a year, Xhaka shit since he signed, Pepe shit since he signed (with the occasional glimpse of brilliance a la Glenn Helder), Willian shit since before he signed and consistently carried on, Elneny always shit, Cedric so shit Southampton didn't want him, Holding average at best, Nketiah mostly shit.

He won't "fail fast" with any of them. They'll all be featuring regularly again. He hates the fact that Martinelli isn't one of his own and is better than his main Summer signing. Rather than holding his hands up to the fact, he'll keep picking the Chav c.unt time after time

Three transfer windows - same as the last manager. 63 games in charge - lost 18 of them......just one fewer than Emery lost in 78 games.

"He won the FA Cup" - yeah along with Louis Van Gaal, Roberto Martinez, Roberto di Matteo and Harry Redcrap, and I don't want of those either

If any of ye think that he is gonna get sacked then ye are deluded. I will stake my bollox that he will not be sacked before the start of next season cos he will get the odd good result to keep him in the job

How HOW!!!!??? Can he play Willian instead of Martinelli???


I honestly believe Martinelli will be gone in the Summer - Arteta just doesn't rate him....
