Re: Mikel Arteta, success or failure? - Merged thread.
It's a trophy in the same sense as the Audi cup or the East Anglian Disadvantaged Tranny Rainbow Grammar School Boys Hospital Cup (shared) is.
Sadly this is reflective of our fanbase now both in ground and online, and why we are loathed and ridiculed as a laughing stock. It ls one of the reasons my ST is always sold to others cannot face the moronic majority who happy clap whatever.
In a way the fanbase loyalty to busted flushes is commendable, but then dick never got that, could it be Arteta was one of wengers boys? A symptom of mediocrity and the akbs are again akbs because of that link?
When the manager says it took you know it's end of days time and expect him to double down on his stubbornness and not doing what needs to be done. Rinse repeat.

Ah yes and I can't wait for "special circumstances" to make an appearance, along with "an accident", oh and "lacking a bit the sharpness in the final third" seems very pertinent at the moment. Before you start criticising BFG, you must remember that we haven't drawn and lost those games this season, we won them due to expected goals and that's what's important.

Your wish will fully come true in January my friend. With no striker likely to be joining any time soon we might even get to hear about the "internal transfer market" with Jesus coming back to form and some of our permacrocks like Tomiyasu being "like a new signing" too. Bring on the spirit of 2010 baby - just need that December date with Olympiacos ready for next year and Rodders and I will have Barry White topping our Spotify wrapped list and scented candles and rose petals ready. Is Loic Remy still available to nearly sign?

You know what, when I was writing that I was thinking of you....ooh err. We're like junkies my old mate, desperate for the Wenger drug that we knew was killing us. Can't live with it and can't live without it.

Sorry to disappoint you chaps, but apparently we're still low balling on price for Loic and Joe and they won't be coming. However, the positive news is that we just might be able to get Phillipe Mexes at last.

Fuck me, I forgot about Kalou. That was terrifying because he was absolute crap, which always made me think that he'd typically be one that Wenger would land.

Legroveblog at it again
The job Mikel Arteta has done at Arsenal so far has been incredible. No ifs, no buts. He took the standards to world-class levels, brought back pride in the badge, got The Emirates rocking, and has us as genuine contender for the biggest trophies again.
Success takes time when you don't have infinite funds and you play by the rules. The next 5 years will be about major trophies. We're the best-positioned club in the league right now. Players are coming into their peak years; we have the best system, we score loads of goals, give up very little... 3 more signings, and we're set for dominance (6, winger, striker).
If you're unhappy to be on this journey, I feel for you. Fan base spent 15 years eating out of bins, I won't forget how bland and stagnant we were, and won't let the fake standards merchants ruin the joy as we sit at the fine dining table totally transformed.
Good time to be a Gooner. Can't wait for the next 5 years.

Once we finally sign all those stars I’m sure we’ll manage to assert our illusory domination over everyone. Can’t wait.
