It’s too early to be certain wether Arteta is a good manager or bad manager. The jury is still out, You can pretend you know but you don’t really as it’s early days and with the new signings bedding in things will improve. How much so remains to be seen.

Also trying to put down our win on Sunday which people are doing on here to seems a little bizarre to me and would scream of someone trying to enforce a pre determined agenda. We absolutely battered them in that first half so much so we naturally took our foot off the pedal a bit.

Some of our fans seem desperate for us to emulate spurs in the 90s when they changed their manager every 16 months and when you go down that route you really get nowhere. Maybe we should hire Gerry the badger Francis. If you can’t enjoy a comprehensive win againest our rivals without pretending we got lucky you should seek advice from a behavioural therapist about how to deal with your own inner self loathing.
That is pretty much word for word what the AKB used to post on here in the latter Wenger days. :lol: :wink:

Who exactly said they didn't enjoy it mate? Name one poster that said that. There is a difference between not enjoying it and enjoying it but being honest enough to admit it was a poor scum performance.

The last line in red is classic AKB. You were only short of telling us to all "fuck off down the road and support Chavski". :)

No chance Wenger ran the club into the ground and handed his successor a pile of shit to inherit. It’s why we are in the mess we have been for some time but there’s no point sticking our heads in the sand about where we are. It won’t happen overnight. See how it plays out.

I agree totally it won't happen overnight. I also feel sorry for Emery because he is a decent bloke and a class act but he inherited a toxic mess of a squad and he wasn't up to the Job.

I genuinely hope I'm proven wrong on Martinez-Lite as it would mean we have a top manager again at last but tbh I just don't see it. I think in maybe 5 to 10 years he could develop to be a good manager after getting that experience but then there is no guarantee of that either! I just don't think any novice manager should be cutting his teeth at a club of our size.

Can't wait to see us v Palace next up after interlull II. They've looked good under Vieira and it wouldn't surprise me if Vieira is our next manager.

Let's be honest, his opposition in September wasn't really difficult was it. :D

True, but we'd probably all be complaining if it was less than 10 pts :lol:

Manager of the month!

Only Norwich have scored fewer goals than us in the league this season :oops:


You have to hand it to Arteta though - he seems to be a “lucky manager “
