Well hello my darlings.
A huge game for Arsenal this weekend. Everton could very well give us a total spanking and make this the end to 2020 we didn’t deserve.
I’ve been doing the rounds with people this week. Things are not good for Arteta. He’s lost a lot of goodwill over the last three months and palming it off on being a new project simply doesn’t jive with most.
It’s bad decisions.
We’ve put too much faith in players that always fail us.
We made a horrendous decision on the contracts of David Luiz and Willian. The rumours about those two canvassing Edu to bin Mikel are probably untrue, but they perfecty capture the disgusting deal with the devil we did when we invited Kia to be our real Technical Director. Average people on big money trying to sway the direction of the club, this is what happens.
We are making poor decisions on the pitch. There was a clear vision for how we’d play the game last year. Now we’re shape-shifting every week and it’s all looking a little bit Emery. Arteta needs to work out what the fuck he wants to do.
We also have a discipline problem. Our red cards have been shit. Getting mugged by Theo is hardly trying to rip Neil Ruddock’s head off. Dumb mistakes by players that should know better. The most notable bit that many aren’t talking about is the junior players all apologised to the fans, but Granit Xhaka still hasn’t. Fuck him. Get him out in January and put his career at Arsenal in the waste disposal. He shouldn’t play for us again.
I’m also thinking about other mistakes, like letting Emi Martinez go. One of my good friends messaged and said we’ve stopped playing out the back. Emi was better with his feet, he was better at shot-stopping, and he dealt with setpieces better. He was on fire. Based on merit, he should have remained our #1. We sold the wrong keeper… who is now sympathizing with Meust in the press right now. You reap what you sow.
We are in hell. Arteta should be gone. He has one chance to make this right. He has one chance to show he can do the coaching thing without City tools. If he doesn’t shape us up by the end of the month, why would you let him and Edu shape the January window?
Some people are accusing me of losing faith. Well, it’s been shaken since he landed the big promotion. He lost his way. He’s let his ego take over. He didn’t do what we had hoped in the summer. He tried to shortcut Arsenal to the top after seeing us fail doing that over the last 10 years. Those stupid mistakes our Technical Director let him make have sent this season careening off the road.
He can bring us back from the brink, I’m just not sure he’s shown enough this season to do it. How many more times can you write: ‘Today could be the turning point.’
It’s now on Arteta to restore confidence. The time for excuses is over. Let’s see some action.
FINALLY: Listen to my NEW podcast with Johnny Cochrane. It’s kind of an intervention. It’s like the comments section took over a human to talk sense to me. It’s a good listen.
If you like it, give him a follow at @iJohnnyCochrane. Also, check out his How’s your Father? podcast on Spotify.
NOW LISTEN TO THE ARSENAL OPINION!
Vic
Mid table sounds good right now then sell all the crappy players. Get two decent midfielders in at least. Then we go from there. At least it sounds better than heading to the championship.
Doesn’t matter who we buy if they play in this system.
Vic: “And sacking him and getting a new manager wont change the god awful situation we have with the squad”
God awful situation of having what? 15th or 16th best squad in the league? Do you actually believe this or are you a fkin troll? Table doesn’t lie.
london gunnerDecember 19, 2020 20:10:35 I am sorry but eddie is gash seriously not premier league level hence his lack of impact in cmapionship leeds. The fact arteta persists with him shows how fucking awful his decision making is.Arteta chooses the wrong young players and keeps playing the old dross. Lets xhaka shit all over the club by not pushing him to apologise for his fucking dumb antics. Running the career of Saliba one of the highest rated young players in world football in the cb position when you have managers like rodgers getting the best out of his french… Read more »
Vic
“So a new manager comes in, gives us a bounce, and we get to midtable. Then what?”
It’s called consolidating and trying to get near or at least not as far away as we were not so long ago.
Then after the consolidating you sack Arteta, tell Vinnai to fuck off and then you protest against the owners in the coming summer.
The fans should not forget that Arsenal were flirting near the relegation places in December. That is not acceptable even if the consolidating takes place.
F it
I would take Scott parker at this point
Arteta is such dross
Graham62
Relegation battles are very hardline you know. I don’t think we are wired for it; the fan division will literally tear us all apart.
I’ve been saying that I truly fear that the trifecta of Arteta, Edu and Vinai can easily get us relegated.
If we go down, no one will remember them because they were all nonentities before we brought them on board.
I’ve been on here preaching player poverty and the terrible state that Wenger left the squad in since he left, but they’re not a bottom 4 team. That’s on the manager. we’re closer to the 8th best squad, maybe a little bit better if Partey plays.
Even then it could have been better even without any more signings, Guen, Saliba, Balogun, Martinelli before his injury would all give us more than some of the favourites do.
Victorious 2 points out a possible 21 tell a different story. And I am the one who has no clue. Are you one of those entitled rich people? Arsenal isnt like that.
Freddie What deadwood players? The ones that Arteta either decided to keep or signed?” The club as a tech Did you squirrel! He’s job description is to oversee the overall buying and selling of playing personnel at the club You don’t have to blame Arteta for everything that is wrong under the sun! And you keep mentioning Mr ‘good Evening’ ffs are you besotted with him or what Arteta is struggling doesn’t make the decision to bin your hero any invalid! He was absolutely atrocious and completely deserved the sack at the end! Jesus I feel like I’m talking to… Read more »
What you don’t do Vic is carry on this charade of hanging onto a manager who is clearly not up to the task.
And stop fucking trolling.
“but we still have to stick with Arteta”
Why? I know you are probably drunk but why?
On a normal day you are pretty stupid but tonight you are outdoing yourself, why is it so important Arsenal stick with Arteta?
Because he was one of Wenger’s players?
Because he won the FA cup?
This argument of “don’t sack him because the players are still playing for him” or “the players are still trying hard”
The Sheffield players are still paying for Chris Wilder, it doesn’t stop them from going down.
Many teams that go down have the highest working players in the league.
Why is Arteta starting a one dimensional poacher at CF when we dont create chances? Seems like poor tactical thinking…
lol Fulham are singing to Arsenal.
“We’re coming to get ya!” We’re coming to get ya” We’re coming to get ya!
And Burnley with two games in hand are like:
“Who’s afraid of the big bad Arsenal ? Not us.
“And stop fucking trolling.”
He isn’t trolling, he is an idiot who likes the attention.
It takes a lot of religion to still support Arteta. It says a lot of blind faith at this point to back a man who’s won 13 league games in 34 in his career.
G8
“Ozil is no longer a professional footballer
2nd it’s an away game up north in December, so he wouldn’t have been up for it anyway!
This team needs a good coach not Ozil”
No longer a professional footballet ?
I could have sworn that Ozil was an ever present in the league before lockdown when we were the only unbeaten team in europe domestically this year.
We are also in contrntion for a champions league place WITH Ozil in the side .
Look where we are now WITHOUT Ozil in the side..
Talking about relegation and that Fulham are better than us hahahahaha you guys are hilarious.”
I mean its been absolute fun on here! Hahah
Poch fired after taking spuds to a historic Champions League final they even make a documentary for.
Mourinho fired after winning the league with Chelsea and finishing 2nd with Manure.
But we HAVE TO stick with Arteta. Why?
Rich
Please stop with your nonsense. Trump and his supporters were rejected by every court in the land and many of the judges that threw out the cases were Trump-appointed, including the 3 on the Supreme Court who refused to even hear the case for lack of standing.
It’s an embarrassment that you are even still discussing this.
Pierre
Wenger out was the right thing to wish for.
Hiring arteta is the biggest mistake in the history of the arsenal
A word of advice for Eddie Nketiah. If you want to succeed at the highest level, take a look at your teammate Gabriel Martinelli. Out for more than 6 months and within just ten seconds he’s showing you how it should be done. Back in the left back position, he harried the Everton players to help clear the ball. His energy, his intensity, his desire to try things was there for all to see. Eddie, you were given a chance tonight to show us what you’re made of. Unfortunately, you didn’t take it. I’m sorry young man but what GM… Read more »
I want Arteta to pass this horrendous mess and bring the glory back to the club. Really want him to be a success.
Time to get the head out of the arses now.
Fulham if they win tonight can go 2 points behind Arsenal.
Burnley have 2 games in hand and are 4 points behind and are showing some signs of recovery themselves.
By losing tonight we have fallen 12 points behind Everton.
This is totally unacceptable and should be for any self respecting fan.
Arteta or no Arteta.
Swiss Ramble pretty much summing up Arsenal at the moment:
Absentee owner.
Inexperienced:
– manager
– director of football
– chief executive
Scouting network dismantled.
Chelsea rejects.
Expensive players ostracised.
Inexplicable recruitment policy.
“Super” agents having a laugh.
Zero creativity.
Couldn’t care less attitude.
Vic I don’t care about Emery, he got the sack rightfully at the end, it’s your behaviour that I’m questioning, we were never this bad when you were here every game praying for us to lose and now you’re on here preaching patience when we’re 15th, idiot. He persuaded Xhaka to stay, he persuaded Willian to come, he turned down the bid for AMN and then barely played him, he went all in for Aouar when we didn’t have the cash for it and refused to have a backup plan, he was going to loan Holding then changed his mind,… Read more »
If we lose the next two Chelsea & Brighton we could find ourselves in the relegation zone. Will that be straw that breaks the camels back?
The Willian signing was criminal but why the fuck did we sign Mari & Soares. They barely make the squad & never play prem games!
We’re these signings Arteta’s as it just don’t stake up!
I cant even find words to describe what this is…I dont even have the energy..the only thing worse than the game was having to hear the cunt carragher for 90mins.
WINTER IS HERE!
On a normal day you are pretty stupid but tonight you are outdoing yourself, why is it so important Arsenal stick with Arteta?”
Oh look who’s about! The pathetic Emery loverboy! How about you stick to continuously sucking off your hero and allow true fans of the club converse on what’s best for club?
If we stick with arteta we are going down
Begging for Benitez, Jesus Christ things are bad.

” and allow true fans of the club converse on what’s best for club?”
Anyone giving Arteta another match in charge is not a true fan of the club.
The stupid and annoying thing is that A LOT of people predicted our struggle weeks and up to 2 months ago.
Surely I didn’t expect a meltdown of this epic proportion but writing was on the wall.
Make no mistake, this is a historic thing happening. We haven’t been that bad in almost 50 years.
50 bloody years. How can anyone have patience to Arteta is beyond me.
Sid
Winter’s been gone and come back – keep up!
Robel
I want Arteta to pass this horrendous mess and bring the glory back to the club. Really want him to be a success”
How can you come here with this much support for the team? GTFO! We only want Emery back and Arteta to be an absolute failure
“allow true fans of the club converse on what’s best for club?”
True fans that are praying for us to lose when we are on an unbeaten run but preaches patience when we can’t buy a win. You superfan you.
If arteta is generational then Emery must be legendary for what he did with us.
the fact that we are discussing relegation is the fucking problem
we’ve gone from demnding finishing 4th from top to finishing 4th from bottom !
All for Arteta’s brown eyes!
We are getting relegated. I’ve got used to it. Embraced it even. Maybe then Kroenke will sell. Completely rotten from top to bottom but still don’t see where this ends.
“Martinelli will be perfect for Eddie’s position leading the line. Full of hustle and energy.”
Guy’s been out injured for 6 odd months, played 45 minutes for the reserves and whatever it was today but that’s right people he’s ready to save our season.
You hear about people who get sucked into cults and think really are they that stupid and then you see some on hear.
Vic: “We only want Emery back and Arteta to be an absolute failure”
I didn’t want Arteta to be a failure but it has already happened. Better cut our losses before we still can.
We get Wenger out to challenge for the league, and we’re now talking about relegation?
Fulham are better than Arsenal
But ,Arsenal are better than
WBA
Burnley
Sheff Utd.
If Leno, does not get Corona, we survive this season.
Who wanted us to lose on our 22 game unbeaten run?
CG
Didn’t you have Sean Dyche down as a great manager but he’s going down now?
I have to commend the likes of Marc, Dissenter, and Kaz battling it out with a bunch of brainwashed cult members. You’re doing the Lord’s work. I just prefer to skim through the comments nowadays and protect my mental health. I’m fed up with this club and rubbish fans who live outside of reality.
This is squarely on the charlatan, Kroenke and Edu are diversionary tactics by diet Pep fanboys
Arseblog on Willian: “Better in the second half, but his first 45 mins was genuinely disgraceful. He was lucky to stay on, even more so to play the full 90, and this is one of things which I find really hard to understand from Mikel Arteta. One of the worst signings this club has ever made.” And Eddie: Snatched at a really good chance in the first half, and not much came off for him. He’s willing but should have been replaced earlier.” They forgot to mention that Eddie is championship level at the very best. Everyone can see that… Read more »
Walt
Dont be cheeky
Dyche is a great manager.
Just stayed tòoooo long.at Burnley.
So mind numbingly frustrating and boring to watch our games with the shit tactics on display, our CBs are now our playmakers, our midfielders are 4th and 5th CBs, all play going out to the wings for crosses into the box to our shortarse championship striker. Change is needed now.
“Oh look who’s about! The pathetic Emery loverboy! How about you stick to continuously sucking off your hero and allow true fans of the club converse on what’s best for club?”
Yep a complete idiot high on hot beer
True fans of the club defending 7 losses from 10 league games. One win in 10. A true fan he says.
Disgusting lunatic
He’s gone
He’s walked …
We are also losing a generation of potential young fans at the moment.
Someone needs to tell the Kroenkes that potential customers of Arsenal merchandise are going to go else where
Of the 6 London teams in the league, Arsenal are 5th, 2 points above Fulham [if they hold on to win against Newcastle]
We could end 2020 as the lowest place London team.
Respect the project.
Amazing posters taking refuge in having a decent showing against the Everton without their three nailed on starters in Rodriguez, Alan and probably second best left back in the league, Digne. All three an attacking talent without whom Everton still won comfortably bar one situation where speculative Luiz shot bounced around and hit woodwork. Who did Arsenal miss that can be universally agreed up on is a go to guy without whom we are notably weaker? Gabriel ,maybe. Also funny the amount of certainty with which some posters claim Arsenal couldn’t possibly get relegated. What were the odds on Leicester… Read more »
We’re a fucking disgrace.
14 points from 14 matches, on pace for a relegation fight.
Fuck anybody on here still up Arteta’s arse. Beta losers like Quantam Leap on his 13th Moniker.
Come on guys we are not getting relegated we are shambles bit we are not dire
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://twitter.com/ESPNUK/status/1340382452448149505%3Fref_src%3Dtwsrc%255Egoogle%257Ctwcamp%255Eserp%257Ctwgr%255Etweet&ved=2ahUKEwic9urD-9rtAhX1weYKHcsOBs0QglR6BAgIEBo&usg=AOvVaw3yAZvGTcsrbZJRvJIsDVKc
If we win the next 11 games, we’re right back in the mixer.
I don’t think Arteta is the answer though
After we lose to Chelsea, we are literally going to be in the group of six teams cut adrift at the bottom of the PL, fighting to avoid relegation. Two weeks ago I was of the opinion that we’d have a crap season, but relegation was impossible because there are several terrible teams below us, but when you think that we haven’t won any of our last 5 against Brighton (D2, L3), and we play them 3 days after Chelsea, there’s no reason why we can’t go down. The teams around us (Brighton, Burnley) are teams we struggle to compete… Read more »
I do not have confidence with the board to get the right guy though
Bald man shut up jareeee😂
Cursing like a market woman because of Emery
Ishola could clearly see what was going on,you’ve got a shocking sense of humor lol
Dissenter
“We are also losing a generation of potential young fans at the moment.”
You’re talking 5 – 10 years or more down the road. Right now the club is going to have a nightmare getting current ST holders to sign up for next season.
Joke pen for Newcastle.
Fulham are imploding
We wont be the lowest placed London team at the end of 2020.
Garbage penalty, contact was outside the box.
Still better if Fulham don’t win.
Dissenter “We are also losing a generation of potential young fans at the moment.
Someone needs to tell the Kroenkes that potential customers of Arsenal merchandise are going to go else where”
This is so true!
No youngster would want to wear arsenal colours right now
In fact that started at least 6 or 7 yrs ago!
For anybody laughing at the idea of relegation.
Chelsea are 100% beating us.
So we’re going to have 14 points after 15 played, Brighton have only played 13 and are a win away from climbing above us, Burnley have only played 12 games and are within 4 points of us
Fulham are currently winning and will be on 12 if they hold this result.
The Brighton away match is a 6 pointer for us, make no mistake about it. Lose that and the table gets really ugly really fast.
Fulham go a man down, we cheer
Newcastle have equalised and Fulham down to ten men.
Celebrate these good times. Come on. It’s time for celebration.
Kool And The Gang would be jealous of Arsenal right now.
The emperor has no clothes; he is stark bollocks naked. The problem is that a large section of the fans (unbelievably) and the board want to give him more time to find some underpants. The line-ups are wrong, the decisions made over the last 6 months have been wrong, the tactics are wrong, the man management is wrong. When we do finally sack A, pray that it is not too late. In the meantime, I am tuning out until something substantive changes… no more reading this shitty blog (its become the mouthpiece for fools), and no more posts… refuse to… Read more »
Obviously people are very frustrated under Arteta😂, just take a little stir and piss, oh my! Off they go! Completely losing the plot!
The Wenger fans told you lot be careful what you wished for!!hahah
For anybody laughing at the idea of relegation.Chelsea are 100% beating us.”
Apparently a supporter of the club diswan!
Marc, It’s a cult and a complete denial of reality. Remember 5 weeks ago, Pedro and CC were calling me a fantasist when I stated that Arteta was difficult to work with and that soon we will have leaks from agents that players are not happy. Looking at what happen who were the fantasist who thought that Arteta was a misunderstood genius who would fix all our problems. Pedro barely appears on his own blog and still can’t admit that he was wrong and that Arteta is out of his depth. still finding excuse for why Arteta is failing, when… Read more »
Thought you were new on here Quantam? Creep on double figure monikers, lol.
Still fighting the good fight for a man set to drag us into a relegation dogfight?
SuperFan that you are.
2021 roll on please..
No doubt Partey is a great player. That 50m euros could have been spent much more wisely. We should be targeting young players for smaller fees.
Look at Wolves they got Podence for £17M. We need to buy players like this. Young, high ceiling, low wages with a resale value.
Quantum
I think we all know Chelsea will beat us easily.
Don’s back at doing what he does best..being a grade a cunt.
Fucking weapon, the mask slips when hes had 2 shandy and ridden his slag.
Knows I’m Irish too but apparently a new poster on here, lmao.
All mouth behind the safety of his keyboard, no doubt a lonely, little limp-dicked has-been in the real world.
Disgrace to call you a supporter endorsing this wanker dragging the club into the abyss.
Also, people tend to forget trends in football are a real thing, especially when media and refs might have an interest in perpetuating them for their own benefit. Leicester were getting all the coverage during their title run and refs were only too happy to oblige that diving cunt Vardy with some of the softest pens of that season to keep the narrative going. How many times have I heard today the Arsenal red card count and the list of all the wrong records broken from as far back as the fucking Hundred Year War from the match commentators and… Read more »
Back on your kid big boy.
LLWLDLLLDL
And Pedro still thinks he has sauce.
Buendia will not be signing for a club likely to be relegated while Norwich gets promoted
Im telling you for free!
Quantum
You are a cunt not much else to say to you to be honest.
And Arteta talks shit after the game.
Don’t feed the troll!
Nice to see Pedro once again allowing casual racism on here when it backs his agenda.
Arteta is a cult manager already. He’s gathered all the halfwits support.
Quantam hasn’t located his cock since the 90s and has never been punched in the face in his life no doubt.
Absolute climdick that would wilt to any sort of confrontation in the real world.
QuantumLeapDecember 19, 2020 21:24:08
Tom forget Auba?
No I did not.
He’s in a slump and half the posters called for dropping him.
Not I, mind you, but you can’t say on his current form he’s a go to guy.
Apparently we were unlucky!
LLWLDLLLDL doesn’t suggest unlucky, it’s more of a trend.
Ceballos is a poor Jonjo Shelvey.
The culture of the club needs to change.. Which means a root and branch tearing up of the club from top to toe. An instilling an ambitious owner with a vision and an mandate that wants something similar to the Fenway Group or the Mansours.. Replacing Arteta,is just papering over the cracks.. Needs a total overhaul.. Still can’t understand why you would disband your scouting network. Still can’t understand why you would give a rookie manager powers equal to that of a DOF, within cira a year,given we spent time trying to wrestle such vested powers from Arsene who was… Read more »
I’ll miss reading your posts Marc Faber.
The blog has really deteriorated of late. Insane how the worst manager in 40 years is still given preferential treatment here and in reality.
Every other big club would have sacked the manager for putting the club on 14 points after 14 games. It is pathetically shit. Absolutely dreadful and is not turning around anytime soon.
Covid keeping out fans is the best thing for Mikel and the worst thing for Arsenal FC.
