General Football Nonsense

Which would prove what exactly? To my mind it would prove that football fans aren’t very bright

I’d say Potter has done ten times the job Arteta has done at Arsenal given the respective size of the clubs

correct

It would give an objective view of the job Arteta is doing. I find that canvassing the opinions of other football fans is often useful to put my views about Arsenal in context. So many Gooners are understandably prone to criticism/pessimism as the rsult of our fall from the top table being in (relatively) recent memory, and expectations based on remebering our heyday. Speaking to other fans can present a counterbalance to this.

but the point is that you HAVEN'T canvassed other fans so you don't even know if your assumption is correct.

i suspect a lot of other teams' fans can see through Arteta, know our position flatters us and think Potter is the better bet, though equally I can't prove it either

Of course I haven't/and don't know if my assumption is correct - which is why my question was conjecture (although my non-Arsenal supporting friends are almost all of the opinion that he is doing a good job). As you say, we are both expressing opinions...and it remains to be seen whether Potter is the better manager.

All football postponed this weekend.

I suspect that’s far more to do with the practical measure of actually policing both football matches and Op London Bridge stuff than about national period of mourning.

I was amused when I saw earlier that they said they'd make the decision after a "review of the official mourning guidance"
