He’ll never be forgiven for the way he engineered the move to Chelsea. Great player of course and the career he had should be respected but there’s a way to leave a club and what he did wasn’t it.

I think that's the thing, he's just a bell end. When the whole "swerved off the road" thing came out he was booed at England games. Everyone thought he was a complete knob.
Sorry, I know this is an Arsenal chat forum, but how the fuck did that lot down the road win that game yesterday?
Also, I am a bit annoyed that the Aussie is whipping up a good spirit there. Thought he would struggle tbh.

We hoped he would struggle. I think next week will be an important game because it’s a test of us and a test of them. They will be dangerous because they have nothing to lose. They won yesterday because they were playing a side that had lost all but one of its previous games, the club is an utter mess and the amount of time wasting they engaged in meant a ridiculous amount of added on time was given. When you’re playing without the ball, it’s a lot more tiring both mentally and physically so it wasn’t that big a surprise that they beat them.
I think we can beat them if we take our chances and don’t play too open. But I actually have to say I don’t think their squad is that bad…it shouldn’t be they’ve spent enough on it. But they are playing with purpose, confidence and enjoying their football which clearly wasn’t the case under Conte.
I’m not worried about Spurs.
Yesterday was bloody irritating, but in some ways I’m glad that a team who tried to time waste came a cropper because of the new rules around added time which are designed in part to deal with that. I could have done without Spurs being the beneficiaries but I guess we were last week.
There is an annoying feel good factor around Spurs right now but it won’t last. It never does for them. Even if they do beat us next week, which I think unlikely, they’ll Spurs it up at some point. They always do. It’s the history of Tottenham…
I don’t really give that much thought to them. For me them losing is a bonus not a requirement unless they are playing us. I have to say going by his press conferences I like Ange Postecoglu…seems like a thoughtful guy. But the fact of the matter is that from the post World Cup period last season we were rather spoiled by Spurs being dreadful….they lost ten times between December and May….and in reality so far this season they’ve been winning games you’d expect them to win.
corrected for you
I would never be that complacent - don't forget they came very close to winning the CL and while I know you'll say the fact they lost that proves it, we can't rely on it forever
I'd still much rather it was the good old days of their flirting with relegation
