I tweeted this in the heat of the moment.
‘Any other manager would be gone after this’
I deleted it. Weird thing is about 15 people messaged me the same thing. Every single one of them was right.
Mikel Arteta’s fall from grace has been stunning. Only at Arsenal. I can forgive another loss, but not the way he delivered it. The mix of arrogance, stubborn behaviour, and poor delivery was something else.
Xhaka. Willian. Auba. Lacazette. Hector. All in the starting 11. A show of defiance from a manager that ignores history, performance, merit, and behaviour to play his favourites with the biggest contracts… getting punished deservedly by the bums the fans KNEW would fail him? It is NOT unbelievable. It was the easiest script to write. Too obvious to be a plot worth exploring.
I don’t want to bag on Granit, he’s a good guy in the grand scheme of the total bums we have at Arsenal… but he ended Wenger, he ended Emery, and now he’s close to ending Mikel Arteta. Well, at least under normal circumstances he would.
Arsenal weren’t totally shite, let’s be straight on this one. We came out for the second half strong. Granit then moved on the game like deviant that gets off on negative attention, the way he always does, and landed a red card for violent conduct. It wasn’t even retaliation to an attack, it was a reaction to one of his classic slow late tackles.
We went on to lose from there.
It wasn’t a downed tools game, though you might remember it that way. We had 18 shots, 6 on target. That’s a powerful 90 for us in the Premier League (lol). But once again, it was ruined by a senior player that’s been ruining managers for what feels like a decade.
Arteta had choices. He chose not to take them. He wants to die on the same hill as Emery and Wenger. It is clown-like behaviour. It lacks maturity. It is bereft of managerial EQ. It is the move of a suicidal deer actively moving towards the headlights.
He’s not going anywhere though.
I kind of get it as well. How many managers can this group of players down before you start taking action? Problem with this line of defence is Arteta picked the bums despite having better options. He’s trying the same thing we’ve seen 100 times before. An innovator, a man of ideas, principles, and energy… slotting Granit back into his starting 11.
I don’t really read too much into the gossip, but Chris Wheatley reckons Mikel has fallen out with David Luiz. I mean, colour me fucking shocked. I wrote when he signed that he was a player that has downed big managers in the past and as soon as things aren’t going his way, he strops out. You saw it for the City game, he was dropped, then he played like a sulky child. Arteta approved that move. Inexcusable.
Willian, he’s just gassed man. No pace, no hunger… I cannot understand how a whole team of coaches thought £250k a week made sense. It was a sackable decision. What makes it worse is that Arteta can’t admit defeat, it’s December and he’s still flogging an old horse like it has something to give. Couldn’t he just call Petr Cech and ask what he thought of the two Chelsea rejects?
Here’s the thing, bag on Mikel all you want, but any technical director worth his salt would not have allowed those moves. They were traps. Set by a dirty super-agent. Arteta is a capable coach who should not be allowed near transfers. But we let him anyway because we are addicted to making bad decisions.
If the manager isn’t going anywhere, which he’s not, then we need to make changes elsewhere. Ralph Rangnick is without a job at the moment. Is there anyone better in Europe at setting a vision, building infrastructure, and looking after young managers than him? No. There’s not. Arteta should have his power taken. He’s not a rockstar, he’s a talented kid in the garage learning the guitar, someone at Arsenal needs to find him the support he needs and stop shirking the big decision… Edu is not it. Own it.
We’re now at the stage where an incredibly opinionated blogger is looking at another Arsenal wreckage without much of an idea where we go. I don’t even have a bad opinion to give. We are relegation fodder. The fans are out of belief. The squad is a wreck. The manager is out of his depth. No one at Arsenal has the guts or know-how on how to make the project better.
My suggestion? Back to basics. Prioritise hunger, effort, and suitability to the system.
Fans will forgive young kids faster than they’ll forgive the bums. We’ll happily wait 3 years for a better Arsenal if the plan is exciting. We just need to see a proper plan and some action fast.
My worry? No one has the ability to control this mess. It’s really sad and incredibly disappointing to watch on a personal level. This hurts, deeply. 10 years of weak leadership came at us pretty fucking fast, right?
We’ve landed Benfica in Europa
Per should take over, with ze Germans you are guaranteed quality
Benítez knows the premiership and how to compete with an average set of players (Newcastle). he could hit the ground running and would I am sure command respect.
Hattrick of “in the seventies last lost to” teams
61 years record broken in home games
Double red cards than any other team
Zero goals records
5 points from relegation zone
Stop the count !
And some say we are playing good football and learning !!!!!!
Playing Xhakalson as a left sided CB and coining words like servicable is fraudulent
Arsenal is a fantastic club – with a rich history, pedigree and excellence. Potential owners would be queuing up. We have been in decline since 2007 when Kroenke arrived. It’s been a definite downward trend since and it’s not an accident. For at least 15 years after that Wenger knew he wasn’t sackable. In those 15 years the decline and the quiet acceptance of mediocrity became endemic. And now we are trying to undo it all with managers who were and are completely and utterly unsuited to the task. I’m not even sure now whether such a manager even exists.… Read more »
“Perhaps for too long, Arsenal leadership has been shaped by the naive optimism of resting on past glories. Perhaps that is why each weekend now is so heart-breaking to watch for all who love the club. Now it is surely time for honest discipline to confront the most brutal facts of the current reality…”
Agreed. Now lets hope Burnley lose their game in hand against Villa on Wed so they don’t close the gap to two points. We should also keep a loose eye on Fulham’s results moving forwards.

When Klopp was available we persisted with Wenger
When loads were available we went with Emery
When Allegri and Ancelotti were available we went for Arteta !
Should be shocking to no one with eyes that Xhaka was never improved last season, just hidden away where he couldn’t do as much damage. Hard to low block your way to the top 4 though when you only have 1 top striker and no other goal threats. Don’t know how many times it was said by me and others on here about Xhaka and the so called improvements of the dross, just an illusion that was only possible in one off games. As soon as we have to make something happen by ourselves instead of trying to catch superior… Read more »
Here’s got away with one, no fans at the ground on Wednesday, London going into Tier 3 lockdown on Tuesday midnight.

Arteta can be intelligent and still suck as a coach
You mean every manger who has ever failed at a job was stupid?
Like i said it’s not universal yet, we still have grown adults arguing we have a squad we should be thankful survives in the league, that was after we started the season hoping for a top four finish, now surviving in the premier league is success for King Arteta.
Forget about the EL, Benfica will see to that.
Jeff
In a nutshell.
In fact, I’m curious. When was the last time Stan actually pitched up to a game?
He doesn’t have to attend the annual AGM since he got 100% control.
I’m shocked he hasn’t got the sack. The guy is just clueless, slaughters Pepe then tries to make excuses for xhaka . Ridiculous
RH
I don’t think we’ll be able to forget about the EL. Based on current form we will get an unforgettable spanking
Arsenal has been a joke club for a while. I don’t think Arteta would still be in a job if this were to be any other top six club. We’re completely shite and our gormless board can’t to trusted to do something about it
His sack should’ve made the breaking news on sky sport this morning we’re it a bigger, well run club
Right now, I just see Arteta has the biggest bull shitter around.
He applied for this same Arsenal job in 2018 and threw a fit when Gazidis changed his mind.
How do you keep applying for a job that exceeds your capacities. He should be managing the likes of St Mirren in Scotland or Boavista in Porto to gain experience.
Instead he stayed at Pep’s side to use the media to run errands for him to fan the flame of super-wonder manager.
Eff him
Arteta out.

Would you even consider someone with the above premier league record for an interview as Arsenal let alone a job?
That’s what Mikel Arteta has produced in the premier league since his appointment.
Forget about the FA cup just for one minute
I don’t think Arteta “applied” for the job. The sad truth is that he was actually headhunted. Maybe I’m wrong on that – I’m willing to be corrected.

Tyag Well Pepe is an Emery signing like Saliba and Guen so he doesn’t get any leeway at all. Just look at how he’s treated compared to Willian who doesn’t have to contribute anything on the pitch game after game and still gets picked every time regardless but when Pepe scores or assists he’s benched. He had started 1 game in the PL before he was sent off, when what we’re lacking is end product, smh. It’s fine thinking Pepe should be doing better and I agree with that but compared to Willian he’s miles better and he’s one of… Read more »

As I recall Emery was an experienced manager. So was Wenger. Anybody want either of them back? Or, to put it another way, would we settle for a return to no major titles and just an occasional FA Cup? Not me.Nor, I fancy, any dyed-in-the-wood Arsenal fan. For me, it’s shit or bust. Which is not to say that Arteta has not been a massive disappointment. Not for losing four home games on the trot, nor for lying 15th in the table. That can happen to any team, to any manager. No, it’s his persistence with players like Xhaka, his… Read more »

You have to put your hat in the ring to be head hunted.
In 2018, he applied. In 2019 in midseason, we went to him because he was the least uncomplicated and cheapest of available options.
Bit of a stretch to call the Shield a trophy.
Wenger loved a Charity Shield so he did. FA Cup king as well.
Agree Red.

Thanks you came around just in time to make my point
We can tank in the league all we like but h won the FA cup and the Shield (not a trophy by the way) so all is well
Eagle hope u can see what we are dealing with and why i want him around Arteta, i want Arsenal fans to see the full repercussions of blindingly backing a manager
Yeah it’s not a trophy but it is a) Shiny and b) more than Tottenham have won

Shut up pls

Yes for my sins!
That’s terrible Dissenter. I mean like a lot of people my flabber was gasted at the time but you’d think our betters at the club ought to be more astute than that. But was he that cheap? I heard he’s on 5 million a year. That doesn’t sound cheap. Emery was on 7 million I think.
“Yeah it’s not a trophy but it is a) Shiny and b) more than Tottenham have won”
Show that to the premier league, they will strip Tottenham of the 12 points by which they are ahead of us now
Yes I posted last night, his hire is not about him, but a lot to do with Pep.
Somehow he was Pep Mk2

He is stubborn and unwilling to change.

Over your own personal happiness and joy towards the club?
Not to say that things will be rosy under a new gaffer but has there even been a more miserable time to support Arsenal?
I don’t think I hate any footballer more than Patrice Evra but Kudos to him for shaming Granit Xhaka. The fraud needs to be openly called out.
Burnley were not even particularly defensive, they were quite open at the back and we still could not score
Receding.
The FA cup fanned some hope that maybe there was a rare gem in Arteta so it’s understandably why some were ready to give him lots of time.
Had we been languishing in 9th/10th place…I would have taken the same point of view.
The 15th place in the league is the least of our problems
It’s the rigidness, inability to learn from mistakes, arrogance, poor man management and delusional press conference that made me change my mind after the Villa game.
He is literally destroying the career trajectory of Saliba as we speak.
He has us adrift and the river current are running us down the waterfalls.
He does not have the skill-set to reverse this precipitous decline.
He created his own turd filled bathwater. Arteta out.
“Over your own personal happiness and joy towards the club?” Nothing happening now is a surprise to me WE, i figured this guy out long ago, he lacks a very important component to be a leader of men, HUMILITY. So it was always bound to fall apart. So i am okay, but i don’t want any regrets, i don’ want anyone to say he did not get time, i won’t have that, i want it to be universal that he failed and was sacked, None of this he is doing the best he can and must be backed with his… Read more »

Winning the FA Cup is meaningless as proven by the joke Arsrnal managers who have won it.
Even the FA Cup win though, look at that in isolation for a minute. Against City, we played no differently to a lower half of table side by packing the entire team behind the ball and basically building a wall for them to run into. Then hit them on the counter with pace and it worked a charm, defended brilliantly and Auba was clinical. The Final vs Chelsea was a similar tale albeit we were a little more adventurous and creative. That’a not progressive for what we are hoping to see on a weekly basis though as we aren’t a… Read more »
In the premier league we have scored a measly 42 goals in 32 matches under Arteta while conceding 36. Those are not the numbers of an attacking coach nor a defensive one. There are the numbers of a nothing coach

Look it was pretty evident early on (much like Emery) that it was not going to work out. The football was terrible, there seemed to be no plan in place and we are seeing that now. This is the worst I have ever seen the team. A lot of the vitriol I have for Arteta was the amount of smoke blown up his ass by people. A rookie manager who had never managed a day in his life took over one of the biggest clubs in Europe and we were meant to be ecstatic about it. We can all list… Read more »
Eagle factor in the fact we beat a City and Chelsea team that lost 9 and 12 league games respectively.

Slaughter’ed Pepe? More like enabled.
He started him in the next game, thats the shocking part.
Guns, Pep Mk1 wouldn’t be any good for Arsenal, let alone Pep Mk2. The guy can only win with the best players at the biggest teams with the biggest budgets. There’s no reason to think he could replicate that at lesser teams with smaller budgets. Classic check book manager, which seems to be Arteta’s answer too – just buy another six or seven players on top of the four that he’s already bought.

We also beat Liverpool 2-1 who outplayed us and gifted us both goals.
“We also beat Liverpool 2-1 who outplayed us and gifted us both goals.”
Yea forgot about that particular “victory”
Let’s be honest , the team is in the image of how the manager himself was as a player, it was always sideways passing to clock up passing statistics, he wasn’t a risk taker or a creative midfielder, he wasn’t good at tackling either. For him to succeed he needed to take risks, that is his problem with players like guendozi, Pepe, Saliba. They take risks and he doesn’t like that, he likes the safe sideways passing of xhaka,willian, you find even saka has stopped taking the risk of beating his man, he’d rather pass .
I’m basically done with Arsenal until Xhaka is gone.
While I wish Arteta was replaced, history tells us Xhaka will persist and I just can’t physically stand him anymore.
I have seen some really bad ARSENAL PLAYERS AND TEAMS since the mid 60s. But this squad a mixture of MERCENARIES/NON TRIERS and VIRTUAL ACADEMY players are the worse I can remember.

Playing the vets is a way to cover himself.

Playing the youth would really force him to coach and put more pressure on him.
He does not realize that the youth can do as good or likely better….
Glad that Pedro is seeing the sutbborness of Arteta.
Its baffling
This is best bit of post Pedro, sums Mikel up to this season for me. “Arteta had choices. He chose not to take them. He wants to die on the same hill as Emery and Wenger. It is clown-like behaviour. It lacks maturity. It is bereft of managerial EQ.

The intricacies of player contracts are beyond me but I agree with your take on the people running the club, they are “complete clowns”.
I’ve always said we’re the worst run club in world football.

This quick fix to top four success with player like Willian and Luiz is neither sustainable or proving the right path. It’s time for Arsenal to accept the path and embrace, that starts with a Mislintat (huge lol) Campos, Rangnick to name a few. And a head coach able to work… Read more »
Pedro did, in a roundabout way, did get his headline correct – A “Real” Manager did die, Gerard Houllier, but most certainly not Arteta, who remains a pretender to the claim of being a manager.
Pedro
No way arteta ego will bring in help like he should … And for that he’s out.
He has to play youth to get him out of stick…
At the mo he’s hammering his own nails in…
Should never have got rid of Mattie all down hill from there… All theses bollock rumours bout him are BS.
When he was a player arteta was not one of the most popular players… Why they thought he could win over players he once played with beggars belief..
He was seen as a teacher’s pets milk monitor m..grass.
Pedro
Did you work for the Russian mafia by any chance.
Your torturing us with your “Arteta is a capable coach” rhetoric.
How can he be a capable coach if he persists with crap players and crap tactics.
No ones forcing him to do these things.
Just come out and say what you really think.
He’s culpable for what we see.
Bloody hell, you’re promoting him as a spotty teenager learning the ropes. Crazy!!
He’s 38 and has been involved in the game long enough to be able to distinguish between right and wrong.
It’s actually rather embarrassing.
Arteta in last chance saloon Wednesday lose and he’s sacked… Heard a whisper.
Therefore play da yoot… But he won’t … So bye bye
Can you imagine Arteta and Ronaldinho playing together?
I wonder what he thought of that….
Probably came home pissed off every day that Ronnny was not following directions and doing tricks when he should be passing sideways!!
LOL
I wonder what went through his skull…. he must have been disgusted
The sad part is that aftet 4 defeats in a row at home and only 1 point of the last 15 (4 defeats out of the last 5 PL Games) ARTETA HASNT BEEN SACKED YET
That is the most obvious thing why we are where we are. Slow reaction, panic decisions, no plan, no backup plan. JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST if that doesnt work TRY AGAIN.
With that way of thinking we are destined to fail always.
Writing was on the wall.. I recently said that when listening to the games he is actually telling players where to pass…
FFS these are professional players this sin a FIFA arteta beta version…
For that his out
Arteta has been playing GX/ Bellerin/ Willian, when they are clearly all a liability.
This means he is not a “capable coach”
Simple..
Guns of SF
That PSG side had a baby Anelka, Arteta, Ronaldinho, Heinze with Pochettino partnering. What a rag tag bunch.
Arteta told William he needed him to win the Champions League in 3 years…. it’s obvious the dude heard Championship League and he’s delivering his quota!
Arteta is breaking records and setting new ones……Matteo be watching on from Berlin smiling on with a glass of wine…
Arteta has really lost the dressing room, probably not 100% but he’s getting there. This was evident at the touchline against Burnley. Looked scared, confused, incapable and out of ideas… .
But as a gooner, you never say never…. hopeful of a shocker against Southampton…COYG🤨
I think Ronaldinho scarred him for life
Can you imagine Arteta trying to stop him in training and getting burned left and right? LOL
No wonder he hates creative types… no flair allowed! It brings up his PTSD
“It’s time for Arsenal to accept the path”
Completely agree Sal. Play the kids, field a team we can get behind. Enough of these overpaid old veterans that look like they can’t be bothered.
I’m loving the thought of baby Ronaldinho megging Arteta whilst Tets tries to lecture him on the finer aspects of possession retention vs penetrative play.
Somehow Pedro I sincerely doubt that you envisioned things would play out this way with Arteta? At least certainly not this soon?
Seems that Arteta is not the only one that died on Xhaka Hill?
To be honest, I absolutely did want to see Arteta succeed beyond succeed. I just never envisioned two things, he is incapable of learning from his mistakes and, he is not qualified to actually be a manager and certainly not at this level.
I am man enough to admit that I got this one very wrong.
So this isn’t a top 4 squad and player poverty is a thing?
Asking for a friend.
Pedro doesn’t give a fuck about Arsenal. His Ozil-like love for Arteta proves that. Still waiting for him to change his tune. Wonder what he’ll write once Arteta is sacked. Might be time to call quits on blogging.
A lot of Johnny come latelies on this site. Keyboard warriors who think they know football and know f all except the sound of their own views. Arsenal have been in trouble for a long while. No doubt Arteta is struggling but who do we think is wetting their pants to manage a failing club ? Remember even Bredan Rogers turned us down. Im with the play the young players group. Arteta is being screwed but the garbage older players on massive contracts. Where is the hunger ?

It really isn’t complicated, if someone performs well in a job they get recognition and if they perform badly they get criticism. Nothing to do with the personality concerned, it’s a results based game and unfortunately for MA there is nothing subjective about his performance to date. I don’t blame Pedro by the way, it’s his job to hype and sell a ‘product’, how many times have you seen an advertisment that was honest and accurate about the product or service being promoted?

Would you buy something from Pedro?
Arteta must be thanking the Football God’s for London going into Tier 3. The guy with his face mask over his eyes last night would under other circumstances be funny.
“Would you buy something from Pedro?”
Oreos.
hahah the Oreo king.
Would rather get rid of half the dressing room than Arteta, as they’ve been the root cause of our problems over the last few years. But the only way he gets buy in/time from the fans is by no longer relying on those who keep letting him down. And results.
This tweet is how i feel
The abject masochistic self-pity here has been going on for much longer than the Arteta tenure.
Snap out of it! The season is not yet even half over.
The best thing about the Soton game is that Xhaka and Bellerin won’t be playing. Without them we stand a realistic chance of a good result. Indeed – provided Arteta risks the young – I believe we will win.
