Don't forget we've won 2 charity shields! Its a legitimate cup according to Arteta....
Failure to plan. It makes me crunch my own teeth and spit them out in rage. Knowingly walking into failure in the hope some miracle or random set of events will fall your way. Looking back at history and seeing that never happened. Thinking you'll be the first.
Sterling on loan and he's so bad we can't even play him anyway? Because we were WAITING to get Sesko? And all those other bastard teams refused to wait and just got on with the season! Wankers.
Two transfer windows to set ourselves up for what turned into the easiest title to win in living memory, and the easiest CL to win in living memory. And the plan was, let's get Sterling on loan.
Somebody has to pay for that.
The loan I mean, 200K a week or something like that I suppose? Because obviously nobody will take responsibility for this fuck-up of a season.

The club is excellent at one thing - the false dawn.
Suddenly we can defend, until we can't.
Suddenly we are making important signings, until we aren't.
Suddenly we beat City 5-1 until we go on a shit spree collapse in the league.
Suddenly we beat Madrid and then forget to turn up.
It's a rollercoaster ride alright, not a great one though. A flat track with a three exciting bumps. That's be 2 grand please! Stay in your seats while we take you for a ride.

I think an ambitious club would see that it’s time for us to part ways with Arteta.
For what it’s worth, he’s definitely exceeded my expectations of him as they were three years ago. To challenge for the title and get to the semis of the European cup is far more than I would have thought him capable of.
But this is his ceiling. It’s hard to know who to blame for last summer. It felt more like an exercise in someone deciding that a) we could make do with what we had and b) we can make the squad a lot thinner by getting rid of a lot of players and easing up the wage bill.
So it’s fair to say we have a problem even if he goes, but that’s not a reason to keep him. Ultimately last night wasn’t the problem, we made errors and they were punished but the real problem was the position we put ourselves in from the first leg. Like NQ I don’t think PSG are anything special, they’ve got some good players but also a lot of “meh ok I guess” players but they are well drilled as a unit and knew how to punish us.
That Arteta couldn’t find a more creative solution to being without Partey in the first leg shows his limitations. I’m sure he’d do ok with a team like PSG where the money and creative accountancy is there to allow you a steep learning curve.
But all throughout his Arsenal career, he’s made fatal errors in judgement, both in the transfer market and in tactical judgement and been too slow to correct.
And just in case people thinking im overlooking it, the striker or lack thereof situation is so glaring that it almost goes without saying. Who is responsible for that fiasco again not sure, but if Arteta wanted the power he now has at the club he also takes the responsibility.
Unlike some here I don’t think a rebuild of the squad is called for, but I think it will be if we keep Arteta on past this season
Never was keen on Arteta from the start but he has shown us undoubtedly that he has a ceiling, and it is 2nd tier at best. New manager rocks up at Pool and wins it at a canter in his first season with virtually the same players as last year. Arteta never broken through in 5 years. Ill say that we have a good squad, better than I assessed at the start of September last year. Im impressed with Raya who is an upgrade on the chap getting relegated with Southampton but he lost me when he chose Havertz over Alex Isak and signing Sterling shows he doesnt actually have a clue. Arteta is like a recurring decimal. Same result no matter how hard he tries. Perfect Wenger replacement.
Make 2mrw better than 2day
It is all rather depressing.
Like a fool, I had hope a few months ago that we had a chance to win the Premier League or the Champions League, but as many times before, we have fallen away.
Who can we get if we replace Arteta?
To make things even more annoying this morning, I have my Spud colleagues saying they will be champions of Europe come the end of May
I couldnt even be bothered to remind them what Champions of Europe actually means.
I personally think Arteta should be given one more season. If we can nail the recruitment this summer and we all know what we need, and if we win either one of PL or CL next season because these are the expectations now, then he rightfully stays.
A season similar to this and I think Arteta should be shown the door next season.
Some of the issues this season could have been avoided if we were smarter with our recruitment, not just last summer but over the past few seasons....and whilst that is clearly Arteta and Edu's fault, I don't think any manager in World Football would have won us the big trophies this season with the squad we currently have given all our injuries this season etc
I definitely think Arteta is owed one more season, because up until this season we have been improving and those improvements were clear for all to see.
A bastard like Simeone would be worth a punt. Somebody who can teach this lot that if you want the massive wages and all the trimmings that go with the privilege, you need to give back on a consistent basis. You need to earn it. Some of the performances this season have been a piss take. Players like Odegard checking out at the halfway mark and coasting home with the captain's armband, that can't be allowed to happen.

Well he's definitely getting at least one more season, I don't think that's in doubt. If we get a proper striker in and take care of the same mistakes that keep on happening, who knows? We'll likely get the striker - even they can't get away with that one for a third window. Whether Arteta can clean up the lack of consistency in the performances, so far there's no indication he can. He'll have to change the way he does things and I wonder if he's capable or willing to do that?

Isn’t our football devoid enough of entertainment?
