Oh god you can't help yourself. Rather than admit your mistake you double down with a dig!

I'm sure someone had it out with you on that before!

Never change

Anyway I for one think de zerbi would be a fine replacement if assisted by Allegri and conte.


Agreed. Oh and is Trappatoni still alive?
:barscarf: :lol:

Define "alive" if you would.... :lol: :wink:

That’s a difficult one. You know when you’re banging away and the missus is motionless and every now and then you wonder if she’s alive or not, but you don’t really know until you’ve finished and tell her to go and put the kettle on.

:lol: :wink:
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Or if you get up and wipe old Excalibur off on her new curtains. And I do not mean the beef ones. :lol: :wink:
:coffeespit:


:shock:



Fuck mate any male person doing that with their cough cough 'Appendage" is either just plain stupid or has a Death Wish....


Orrrrrr unless of course she really has Croked it during the uhhmmmmm 'Proceedings'.

De Zerbi, fuck me this forum is in the gutter. One goal away from the perfect start to the season, and people are off their heads.
Woooooo-fucking-oooooossshhh!

:lol: :wink:
That's the problem with not looking at the forum every day. But it wouldn't surprise me with you loons.

A lot of you did vote for Brexit after all. A monumental fuck up of gross proportions.

I would say not realising De Zerbi was a piss-take was minuscule compared with leaving the EU, which has to be one of the biggest fuck ups this country has made in centuries.

But doubling down, you seem to think De Zerbi would be worthy replacement? Really? Arteta came in with no experience, has made mistakes but that would be a step backwards inviting a manager who has done nothing in his career. If you want to replace Arteta at least come up with a serial winner rather than someone who would take another five years to install his own process.

Mantis will tell you taking back control of your cod and chips quota outweighs everything else its fucked up in this country.

All the evidence is on that thread. So when it comes to football you kind of take De Zerbi with a pinch of salt and vinegar.

Not being soft touches in defence is so refreshing. The later Wenger days were some real comical times for our backline. Emery never sorted it out either.

Were being recognized as having the best defence in Europe from rivals. Neville and Carragher have so much themselves.

Couldn't give a shit how unattractive the football is.

Think the George Graham analogy is banished to history after yesterday's performance. George would have loved the Arsenal rear guard yesterday in the 2nd half.

I am not having anyone but the top tier managers being touted for Arteta's replacement. I love what he's doing at Arsenal right now, he's taking me back to my youth when I fell in love with the club, because we would fight till the death and not lay down. No longer a soft touch Arsenal.
