    Go deep enough into the quote tweets and one can still find clowns who “place Arteta on fraud watch”. In 2023.

    Alongside claims that he’s not worthy of praise because he’s won as many trophies as David Moyes.

      I am ecstatic with how far we’ve come as a club both on and off the pitch since Arteta took the reins. Especially after all the criticism I heard and received when talking to rival fans.

      Though, I do wonder how long Arsenal fans will stay quiet before they start demanding more. Especially the longer a major trophy alludes as, similarly to how Wenger’s tenure ended.

      I hope it doesn’t come to that of course, but I hoped the same under Arsene and we all know how that deteriorated.

      It also annoys me how people are very quick to point out he’s been at the club for 3 years and we’ve not won much, without considering other factors and the state of the club when he took over.

      /mini-rant over, lol

        I love the game. Played for 30 some odd years and it’s been the only consistent thing in my life. That being said I hate, with a passion, stupid and opinionated sports fans who are always complaining. They didn’t learn their lesson with Wenger, nor Xhaka, and now it’s going to be Arteta.

        Anyone complaining about Arteta is a fucking retard. Don’t like what I said? Your problem, not mine. Stop being stupid.

        Name me another manager with no experience, taking over a PL club, who has challenged for a title or won an FA Cup…

        🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗 That’s right.

        Just like Xhaka, we have something absolutely wonderful and if utilized properly and given the right support we have the opportunity and potential to build something wonderful. But the vocal minority can’t help but ruin it for us all talking a whole bunch of bullshit on a topic they know absolutely nothing about. These idiots harrassd a club legend until he left. Don’t let them do the same to Arteta.

        I’m not going to idly stand by. Arteta lifted this team from mediocrity, into a title challenger. Anyone not able to recognize the talent required to achieve that can eat my ass.

    • Ivan Toney will most likely stay at Brentford until at least the summer. No developments on his future.

    • Arsenal are not interested in Dominic Solanke.

    • Arsenal are not planning to sign Douglas Luiz. He is not wanted unanimously at the club.

      Imagine Villa finishing 4th but not getting a top spot whilst Utd and Chelsea get a guaranteed top tier seeding. I’m tired of all the fake “iT Is MeRIt bASeD” takes all over the internet. The shilling is absurd. There is nothing wrong with the current European model. The issue is oil clubs and the creep of the American closed league model onto European shores. Fuck the Super League. Fuck the MLS.

        Imagine Sunderland still being in the PL after what happened there instead of going down to League One
