I froze over there last night, and it was the same old same old, we start well but as soon as we concede our heads drop and you can see the confidence drain away yet again, its happened in 3 of the last 4  games again. Against City, we were all over them, but as soon as City scored, you knew only one team was going to win.
Against Forest was the same and again last night. Its a mental habit we need to get out of very quickly

We are in desperate need of a decent striker

Apparently no evidence of wrongdoing by Arsenal or any players in the Xhaka yellow card investigation. Was really hoping for a 10 year ban

I was hoping Everton would be interested in Arteta.
They bought Walcott & Iwobi, so you never know.

30 minutes played AFC 80% possesion. In play 4/9 atm . Seems a good bet for the home win

OK I'm a THFC fan and I'm sort-of enjoying it but sport is nothing without rivalry, sheesh, how much longer will they hold onto Arteta for??

And all honestly who would be that stupid to take over a coaching position from Arteta to coach a banter fc? I mean tell me one better coach than Arteta who would be happy to coach Arsenal at the moment.

Sorry to say but Spurs as a club was always "a bunch of over-paid wannabes, has-beens and never-will-be's". Sometimes they had a good run and that`s it. Spurs never had title winning DNA in their blood at all, never tasted real success so it`s a bad comparison. People that expecting Spurs to win anything just delusional,you can not expect to win from a historically loser team. On other hand Arsenal is even worse in the last few years but they are still Arsenal and yet they have a bunch of over-paid wannabes, has-beens and never-will-be's.
My point is that you can change the coach in both teams 100x if you want but none of them will achieve anything. Spurs won`t because they never did, Arsenal won`t because they have sh.t and not motivated players. So there is no situation when you can say changing a coach is the solution.

I talked about a current squad and not IF wouldn`t have signed and IF they would signed. None of them would do nothing better with the current squad. This is what you all said about Ole, and yet we have a worse MU than under Ole ever.
Coaches aren`t magicians unless they get enough money and the right players. You miss the point that nobody would go play for Arsenal all of a sudden just because Klopp or Pep the coach. They would have to deal with the same budget and the same squad. After few years, yes, players would come but not right now just because you changed the coach. I would love people to understand the business side of football. If Pep would coach Newcastle,do you think players would join?Don`t be a joker :D Coach isn`t enough alone and managing a garbage squad like Arsenal at the moment is bad for everyone. Actually say thank you to Arteta for his sacrifice because no other coach takes Arsenal and would deal with the hate he gets since years now.

Do one or the other. But 100% don't sign a striker who doesn't fit your system on 350k a week and then stick him out on the left wing and ask him to track back and play in your own half most of the game.

but anyways Arteta will be fired for sure and next season when Arsenal will be still struggling under the new coach then we can talk about againg, just like MU and Ole`s situation. Everybody was so smart and said "ole out" and yet MU is lucky if they can get top 4 while last year it wasn`t even at risk under Ole. The new coach got the same team + a Ronaldo and struggling. Blaming the coach instead of the players is easy.

Arsenal blown FA Cup, blown League Cup and now in process of blowing 4th place. Same old same old.

A couple of recruits and you’d think we’d still have a slim chance of Top 4. Still bereft in midfield and up top.

You do wonder why they’ve spent weeks chasing a striker who clearly never had any intention of playing in the Premiership. Baffling.

what happened to the 'we care do you?' protests from around 18 months ago

because surely we are in a worse position now?
season over in january

talk of progress since late wenger and emery but i cant see that at all
at least under those two we played some football

positives are the kids like saka and smith rowe but they were coming through anyway, and if anything emery brought those though

ive seen people say we should be happy with 6th this season but come on, this is arsenal ffs

when are we going to wake up from this 15 year coma

Some of the fanbase are already spinning Auba leaving as saving the club £25m. I saw one even said it's like getting a £25m fee for him.

Don't think the buys of Guendouzi and Saliba were ridiculous. What is ridiculous is the banishing of valuable players and rendering them almost worthless to the club and that is all on the manager. Guendouzi is on a mandatory buy of £9m, so we will make a profit on him regardless but he is worth a lot more than that after not even a full season in France. Saliba is also looking like he will be worth the money over there. He might come back into the fold but I doubt it. I can see him being sold for more than £27m in the future but not by us.

Auba should never have been signed on that money to play left side or false 9. He was never going to fit Arteta's system and was never going to have a transfer value on those wages given his age. Should have let him go and replaced him. Ozil shouldn't have been signed on that money either when he hadn't justified it on the pitch and we were way off top 4 and was a similar age. They are primarily footballing decisions. That is not on the owners.

The owners made big funds available to the manager in the summer after zero gate receipts and the loss of euro money. They didn't have to do that and it would have been understandable if they'd tightened the purse strings. Arteta let AMN go on loan while Elneny and Partey were going to AFCON. We go into a battle for 4th with Laca and Nketiah as our options up top. The manager has spent almost exclusively on defensive players since he joined, while banishing Ozil, Pepe and Auba and not signing any strikers in 2 years.

Laca and Nketiah are both free agents in the summer too! The guy has no track record of buying attackers apart from Willian! What striker in their right mind is going to want to play for him? I fear he is going to offer Laca a bumper deal similar to Ozil/Auba to stay. I didn't have an issue with Auba getting a bumper deal as I thought he'd earned it and he'd always scored at a phenomenal rate up to then. But he must have been given some assurances to stay as he was stalling and Barca were interested. He has looked depressed on the pitch ever since and that was long before any disciplinary issues.   

What was the purpose of going to Colorado last week to meet Kroenke? To sign that guy from Colorado Rapids?

He sent his son over a couple of years ago but that was only for a summer and to appease the fanbase. What is most annoying is that they could spend less money and generate higher revenues by being more successful on the pitch if the club were run anywhere near well. They are that clueless and removed that they can't even see that?

Over the last 5 years they must have the worst return on spending in terms of transfer fees/sales and wages in the league and I don't think there is anyone telling them that. They are not averse to having the club run well, that makes no sense on any level, but it's clearly not their priority.

The fanbase is a problem. A large chunk of them celebrate mediocrity and are actually positive about us declining year on year, actually saying that we are improving? If that wasn't the case perhaps the owners would take more notice. No fans in the stadium for most of Arteta's tenure has a lot to do with it too. Doesn't look like he'll be leaving this summer but certainly looks like we'll have a bigger mess to deal with after he's gone. It's worrying to think what he'll do with more money to spend. A disastrous finish to the season might be the best thing to happen.

ffs Arsenal paid out 7m to get rid of Aubameyang, leaving them with only two recognised forwards until the end of the season when they can bugger off as free agents. The biggest spenders in the Premier League 20/21 close season, the club is run by morons.

Mediocrity if we were still at Highbury would at least be bearable.

Mysterons will get capt black
