Yeah, I forgot about the attractive (euphemism for competent if you ask me) football. Definitely add that to the list. It's something I've given up hoping for tbh. Certainly Arteta isn't capable of providing it, that much is painfully obvious.

Do you know, I'm having second thoughts about Wenger. Yes, he was fucked beyond all recognition by the time he was booted. But, for all his flaws, he had a lot of respect for the game as it should be played and that actually cost him against the horrible, cynical, cowardly bastards that call themselves coaches these days. Yes, Wenger was a man out of his time, but his time was better and the abject shite that managers like Arteta serve up today. They might beat Wenger in the league table but they'll never beat him in terms of providing what we all used to understand as football. Entertainment. Passion. Tribe. Our players used to fight in the tunnel, not kneel on the pitch and mince around in pink. Everything was blood red. Deadly as sharks we were, and just as vicious. Not this dead, gutted fish flopping around with fireworks exploding behind it and pampered fucks demanding a 10% share in the club just to turn up.

It was sad that Wenger eventually accepted 4th place as a trophy. That was his downfall. But it's criminal for the club and any fans dumb enough to buy into it to repeat that bullshit and then sell it as success.

Anyway, I don't watch it. So ignore me.
I disagree that we play shit football under Arteta. I think for the last 1/2 to 3/4 of last season, we played pretty good football with forward passes rather than sideways BS. So far, this preseason and also the game against CP, we looked to be always pushing from the front and making forward passes.

About Wenger, again, I disagree.. entertainment, passion you say?! Sorry, dont remember any of that under the last decade of Wengers career with us. And whats wrong with kneeling on the pitch or wearing pink? Besides kneeling on the pitch and wearing pink is not up to the managers or players. I quite frankly think that pink kit is fire! If I hadnt purchased the black away kit, I would have definitely bought that one.
