Needs a major trophy this year otherwise next summer it could be carnage for the club with our outgoing transfers

Saka, Odegaard, and the jewel in our crown Saliba will all have their heads turned.
I tend to agree.
However what do you consider a major trophy to be?

To be honest whether we like it or not the FA Cup has been even more devalued this season - it probably sits at about the same level as the league cup for the players these days.

So it’s either the Champions League or League - and we have little chance in either of them.
Honestly, I'd accept an FA Cup win as I refuse to let these modern entitled cùnts devalue it in my eyes. But even that would only be a stop gap minimum requirement. He'd need to win the league the following season or I'd want him gone.

I'm not prepared to get into a ten year "project" that delivers no league title like Wenger's last decade. 5 or 6 seasons with North of 700 million spent says Artedu should win a league title. If not then thanks for your work but goodbye to you both.

It's a success and results driven business at the highest end. Deliver or move on.

Great film. :barscarf: :lol: :lol:

But nowadays you are considered by the woke brigade as a "racist" for liking it..... :roll:

Even though it was written and directed and produced by a mixed team of Jewish, white and black actors, writers, director, and producers and was a spoof film that actually took the piss out of racists and pointed out the absurdity of racism.... but hey the woke brigade ain't known for their knowledge. :roll:

Roy Keane seems convinced we'll win the league. :barscarf:

Well, he said so after he finished shitting himself with laughter from mocking Artedu playing Wenger-Lite mind games with his own players by hiring "professional pickpockets" to steal from the players at team dinners. :oops: :roll:

If that doesn't make us win the league nothing will. I mean the last time my 50k Rolex and the keys to my Lambo were stolen I didn't feel angry or worried or concerned. And afterwards I did not feel one iota of resentment or embarrassment. No. I just felt like I could go out and win a league title. :box: 8)

Artedu. Is there no limit to the man's "genius"? :oops: :roll:

Maybe he is on the cusp of earning a Doctorate in Psychology.... :rubchin:

And apparentyly the chavs are hiring a few casanova's to seduce the players wives and girlfriends and fcuk them up the shitter to show them that if they turn their backs on their partners for just 5 mins any one of their team-mates could screw the brains out just like pikey terry did to win bridge's tart and courtois did to de bruyne's bird :rubchin: It is a ruthless world out there lads :lol: :lol: :lol:

Trying to justify his £5million a year no doubt with his thinking outside the box...thought training in front of speakers of kop singing was biggest load of bollox....but this is right up there..could not imagine Ferguson, Shankly or Alf Ramsey doing anything similar

I think he has taken us as far as he can.....done a good job TBH (although spent a lot of money) ....we need SILVERWARE this season ...dont have faith he will deliver

Thought of seeing jesus and nekitah upfront......and maybe viera getting starts ......too much to take
He could always go manage Chelse and we hire Allegri. Chelsea would surge above us in the table, but hey, at least we will have a 'proper' manager.


Whheyyyy
that bloke Shearer who knows fuck all as we all know and won nothing ever :rubchin:

There are so many ifs around what could happen before the transfer window shuts on 30 August but one of them could decide the title race because if Arsenal sign a top striker then I would back them to go on and win the league.

as per previous post obvious to all except total fuckwits...of which there are a few

Yeah, saw quite a bit of that in the Amazon thing. His main piece of genius advice that he seemed to impart most often was "now, ho out and wheen de hem!". Stunning. :roll:
