Excellent Peter.

Those who understood the task in hand that Arteta inherited stood steadfastly by him in the difficult moments. Thankfully our owners and directors were amongst them.

What type of pubs do some of you go to where people turn to violence over different opinions? Some of you live in 80s/early90s and need to detox the hooliganism from your system.

Oh lord. Now Sid gets the vapors: 'Save us from violence on the internet!'

Don't be such a pussy Sid.

If the midgets who post the same opinion-- sometimes, two and three times every post-- found a way to mix in some actual knowledge or insight...

Instead it's 300 words rearranged to say the exact same drivel.

That's not 'a difference of opinion'. It's trolling.

In the insane world of football pay checks it’s hard to understand how he only gets £15m a year. That’s less than some of our players. If I were him I’d ask for 1 million a week just out of principle!

Well maybe 500k. But thinking about it who knows what bonuses are included could potentially be around that number if all goes well

This article encapsulates what I hate about the hypocrisy and dual faced nature of English media and society as a whole. How can a person only get triggered at a loan system that’s been going on longer than I’ve been on the planet when it comes to Arsenal and Sterling. I mean this is crazy. Imagine this hypocritical muppet. No wonder newspapers are dying

Arteta: “Raheem wants to prove a point”

Read at: https://arsenal.page.link/iu4zPhj4zY81g1L56

This is why I am so happy that we have Raheem on board.

The geezer has a point to prove and he will fight for us.

Mark my words.

And your point is……..?

The point is, telling posters to go support other teams and insults because of different views is hypocritical

The waste of space of a Troll has spoken.

He has no clue what supporting a club through thick and thin is all about.

Arsenal commiting itself to a manager for eight years and not once has he exceeded expectations, what joyous news. I hoped we would stop being an AKB club when Wenger left but all we've done is swap the A and let manager do whatever he wants with no pressure to win anything. It's all vibes, no focus on winning trophies.

If you haven't taken any joy from the journey Arsenal has been on, I pity you. There is no point in supporting a club if you can't feel something for what Arteta has done.

Arteta has done sweet fa, Pedro. He was massive failure his first two seasons, he should have been fired after the first eighteen months for incompetence, and the kroenkes have had to replace our entire starting xi for tets when he took over a team that were European finalists.

Everyone is entitled to have an opinion... but objectively, this is one of the least serious you can have when assessing Arteta's tenure against a team that is about to go into a hearing for 115 charges. You won't find a football exec in the world that would share your view. It's internet bravado. If you said that in a bar to your mates, they'd send you home with a straight red card. You'd get an extended ban on review.

Superficial drivel.

Mate, he started from scratch and has taken us to be 2nd twice in a row.

And that's against the biggest and best playing cheats in the league.

The best is to come.

Patience and hard work will be rewarded.

Arteta inherited a club that were European finalists six months before he took over, in which way was he "starting from scratch"?

MG42, if you're applying a principle to Mikel Arteta that says he's not the right man for the job... it's the wrong principle.

The trouble with people who comment like this... they never have any ideas of their own. Banging the table making demands if you can't tell us what your plan would be against a team with double the wage bill, that is about to have 115 charges heard, then you are just making noise that looks like attention seeking.

I have taken the joy from the place we are, but I believe in exactly next three years we should go a step higher. And if we don't do, then it's going to mean we reached the ceiling of current setup and started to plateau.

I never saw Arsenal being in the position we are in now.

CL football, top 4, FA cups were Not enough under Wenger. I thought after he left we would get more than that.

Pedro trolling hard with the title of the post. 😂

I am happy that Arteta has resigned. It's clear that he loves the club and doing his all to get where we want to be.

Is he flawed? He certainly is.

But you can't fault his desire to be at the top.

You can see that he wears our motto on his sleeve. There is no denying that.

Looking forward to seeing Arteta lift a trophy as a deserved pay off for all his hard work.

No thankfully there are few clueless idiots like you as most fans love the club and sing Arteta s name. But as you don t go to matches this is beyond your simple mind

Said the Cheaty Troll.

I missed out on the hyphen (I couldn't edit).

Big deal.

Go rejoice on sacking a manager that you loathe despite him getting us to be 2nd twice in a row.

You do know that by putting your hand in your pants and yanking 3-4 times-- you can get the same satisfaction as posting here.

Arteta sounding like Odegaard made a miraculous recovery overnight

Expand full comment

We are on the up and no matter how distateful that is to some, we will remain there.

Arteta hasn't been perfect but he's learning the rope and edging towards being elitist.

No one is arguing that he hasn't made errors but the signs make for elation.

We expect him to start adding trophies and so shall it be.

Well said Pedro, he’s done a great job thus far. Credit to the hierarchy for backing him too. The latter-day Wenger years were tough, I doubt that many saw us being in the position we are now back then. We’re a proper football club again, organised and competitive.
