Maybe Italian dream team a la the Cowley brothers, de zerbi, allegri and simeone as masseur?
If this ain't enough to get US Wilson back then I don't know...
Nuttys popped up after a good result as ever having been MIA during our struggles, so expect USW to follow!

Re: Mikel Arteta, success or failure? - Merged thread.
I refrained from posting this straight after the United game, Sunday, because it would have just been a burst of anger and hatred; a waste of my time to read and for all to read.
Arteta needs to leave Arsenal Football Club. His project has failed simply because he is not good enough to complete it. It’s less about his tactical ineptitude and more about his ego. I’m so sick of seeing his smug face, acting like "the big I am" in interviews, despite the fact that all he’s ever achieved is a flukey FA Cup win nearly five years ago. He is the managerial equivalent of the average Joe playing Football Manager—picking the same eleven for every game, regardless of the opposition, fitness, fixture lists, tactics, etc., and the same three subs, regardless, just hoping it sticks. There’s no plan, no focus to any of it.
Let’s be honest here, we’re stuck with a manager so great that he felt weakening our squad depth would make our title challenge stronger. A manager of such genius that he thinks we could win anything without an actual striker. A modern day master of football who signed a carthorse CM that couldn’t wait to leave Socidade just so he could run in circles in an Arsenal jersey, a goalkeeper who appears to be cup tied for every single game in association football and a useless old winger who gets so lost every time he’s on the pitch that we’ve had to send Madeleine McCann to go find him. And we are meant to believe that the idiot who signed these players is meant to be the next big manager?
I will say, to be fair, he’s emulating Wenger perfectly! 2008-18 Wenger, an egotistical, stubborn waste of time who had no real idea how to go beyond “just okay.”

He's gotta go. Psychologically I could not take another soul destroying Wenger decade long debacle. I'd quit before I go through that again.



Re: Mikel Arteta, success or failure? - Merged thread.
I'm already there pal. Last season was our 2008 which is when I knew Wenger had to go. We finished 4 points off the title that season, played brilliant football and were building a new team that I had a lot of belief in. We were a Vieira replacement and beast of a centre half from having the lot. We signed neither and he started turning us into a bunch of pussy weaklings trying to copy cat Spain/Barca without the players to do itDB10GOONER wrote: ↑Sat Jan 18, 2025 8:46 pmHe's gotta go.

The similarities are remarkable. He literally could have left last season's squad as it was and added a top drawer striker and Saka cover. We didn't need Merino, Calafiori, Sterling. Just like then we never got closer to winning the league, slipped away from being contenders to also rans and went 9 years without a trophy. Well we won't win anything this season and like then we are now getting further away from winning the title making baffling signings rather than ones we needed.
Sadly also like then the manager will keep getting lucrative new contracts that make him unsackable

Neto
probably decent but never been played..Merino
Fucking hell he's shite
as someone said he's very similar to Artita as a player..A pile of nothingness..and lastly Sterling
ffs that signing alone is a sackable.
He really is ArsenTeta
Re: Mikel Arteta, success or failure? - Merged thread.
Sorry for the rant but for a supposedly big club, we are run in such a comical and dysfunctional way. Apart from letting this cùnt learn on the job, we've given him 800 million to waste aswell, We have an owner whose entire sporting motivation this weekend is based on whether the Rams can reach the NFC championship game and could give zero fucks on what is happening to us as a club. On top of all that, we possess some of the most cringey fuckers as fans. People whose entire association with the club Is based on success of this average Joe who played for us at the height of Wenger incompetence. There are too many people looking to cling to any association with Wenger and therefore we are heading back to AkB and WOB time 
As DB mentioned, i have no will to spend years shouting for this cùnt to go so il find better ways to spend my weekend than on this shitshow
