    Don’t give me that wanky “it’s just a game” aphorism. Either you care or you don’t

    And I’m sick of that diminutive sociopath destroying any joy I get from football

    I care but it's not my life and it never will be.

    Arteta is a fantastic manager and he is going nowhere for a few years yet. If you don't like it then find another team.

    You are obsessed and that is not healthy.

    It’s not my life either. But maybe instead of the empty platitudes you should have actually got to the point you wanted to make which is that you don’t like my bashing of Arteta.

    Well I’ll stop bashing him when he stops being a galaxy brained, passive aggressive control freak. But he won’t because that’s who he is. So alternatively I’ll be happier when he fucks off. Because we’ve got a few players in the prime of their careers. Do I think Rice is massively overrated ? Yes but he’s still probably better than most of that England midfield. Plus Odegaard, Saka and Saliba. Does he think they’ll stay out of loyalty to him, they might have tolerated us finishing second to Man City but not finishing third to Liverpool and Chelsea.

    And if that doesn’t make you angry. I can only assume you’re incapable of anger and I envy you.


    Also you don’t find another team, I fail to see why anyone would change the team they support. Given how I’ve never wanted children, Arsenal are a metaphorical surrogate…in that more often than not they prove to be a bitter disappointment to me

    Caring isn’t a binary thing.
    There are different degrees of caring, you can care about something without losing your shit at every setback. I’m frustrated we didn’t take advantage of the Merseyside Derby and put some real pressure on, it’s not going to spoil my day though.

    Grow up.
    He’s made us into genuine contenders for the first time in ages. Yes we’ve spent big but other sides have shown you can throw money around to little effect.
    It’s it’s Liverpool of Chelsea who benefit from City’s drop off then I do think that would be a sackable offence, I’m not sure Arteta is the man to get us over the line. But the level of vitriol you have for him is insane and, honestly, a bit childish.

    When you’ve spent almost £700 million quid, I’m inclined to be about as tolerant of failure as Ernst Stavro Blofeld

    That I don’t like Arteta naturally tends to be more pronounced when he’s stood on a bear trap instead of finding the back of the net when we were handed, with the news of Rodri’s injury the best opportunity to win the league we’ve had in over 20 years. For me, I feel when considering this that my anger is if anything understated.

    I don’t feel the inclination to debate how appreciative I should be of Arteta…because whatever I’ve said on here about him, pales in comparison to what I’ve said in private conversations with friends.

    As for the accusation of being childish, I think this best sums up my response

    Is it that much? It's certainly a lot, and I've made it clear I also don't think failure should be tolerated this year. City are having their worst season in years, having been genuine contenders the last two years for it to not be us who capitalises would be unforgiveable. As I said, it's a sacking offence in my view (I doubt the Arsenal board agree)

    It's fine to not like him, but to talk about "hate" is ludicrous. I would reserve that adjective for very few people - people who are actually making the world a worse place. Arteta at worst isn't as good at his job as he should be, he's not actively trying to destroy things. Personally I do quite like him, I just don't think he's the man to get us over the line of winning a really major trophy.

    I don’t feel the inclination to debate how appreciative I should be of Arteta…because whatever I’ve said on here about him, pales in comparison to what I’ve said in private conversations with friends.
    That does not help my view of you being childish. Which is not a good trait for a man in his 40s, whatever 1970s Doctor Who might say.
    Being child-like - retaining some wonder at the world - is a good thing.
    Being childish - having tantrums when your favourite team don't win, not so much.
