Complaints about heavy handedness of French police last night
Which for me feels a bit like complaining that the Catholic Church doesn’t like women
They live by the motto of “Fuck around, find out. Don’t fuck around, probably still find out”

As I said before the game, I did have a strange optimism - I acknowledged we weren't favourites but I didn't feel it was as hopeless as you did. And to a point I stand by that, we played well last night. Their 'keeper made an early excellent save from Odegaard. That goes in and it's game on. Fine lines in football. We mostly dominated them, so props for that. But the fundamental issue - and this has been our problem all season - is we're just not dangerous enough going forward. PSG looked more dangerous than us going forward. I blame Arteta for that, not the players. They were doing their best but we just don't have enough firepower. It was a known problem last summer and his decision not address that was always one he would have to live or die by. It has been the latter.Quote:

For me he gets one more season, but it feels increasingly unlikely he will deliver the big trophies for us.
Arteta has stated that we were the best team left in the competition.
He has entered the delusional and denial phase of the project.
Just talked about this in the other thread.Quote:

Sigh. Yes, I saw that. That is a bit worrying.Quote:

Just begging them to batter us on Sunday.
He is losing it.

I don't agree with what he said, but I am troubled a bit by how we fans seem more inclined to side with a pretty entrenched anti-Arsenal press than to back what Arteta is trying to achieve.Quote:

He needs to take time to grow up this summer so we all get taken more seriously - and all of the above should be summarily ditched
