    I'm not so sure. In any case I think a couple of wins and people would start cheering. Many fans are fickle like that. We've seen it happen with other clubs many times. e.g. Rooney says he wants to leave - many Man Utd fans says they don't want him playing for them and many expected him to leave. He stays, now they all love him.

    He's a twat, no doubt. So are a lot of managers. He's not Joey Barton scum. He doesn't fuck clubs over like 'Arry. He doesn't make racist slurs like Aragones. He has a god complex but he's not a nasty piece of work. What's the worst thing he has done? Be a smarmy little twat in the media? I could deal with that.

    My view to getting a manager like Mourinho is very different from getting a billionnaire owner in who makes this club his penis extension, like Man City or Chelsea. Then I really would find it hard to care about Arsenal. I like that we're fighting the good fight but wouldn't be against Mourinho to come in and ruffle a few feathers.

    Mourinho wouldn't be my first choice at all though. The reason for that is not about him as a person - which I don't mind so much right now, but I suspect Mourinho is someone who probably doesn't give a fuck about anybody but himself. And so he wouldn't stay for very long and though he might well leave us in a better position to when he arrives, for a club looking for some stable progress, Mourinho isn't the ideal man. Although I think Maccy said something the other day about Mourinho wanting to build a dynasty. That might not be what we want either but even right now, Wenger is bigger than the club. We can't get rid of him and he's dragging us down. The important thing going for Wenger is that we know he cares, so we tolerate it.

    Jürgen Klopp for next Arsenal manager. Henry as assistant manager.

    I think that is most unfair. Just because he is a conceited self-centred slimey cunt, you shouldn't hold that against him.

    You're quite right - his career began at the spuds.

    I don’t think Mourinho will ever want to fight against the odds. Porto were the big guys in Portugal, sure they won in Europe but they were never even expected to be in the European challenge, let alone maintain it. The Game game a good overview of where he might go, ruling out the Glaziers due to the funds he’d demand, which in turn rules us out. Chelsea for obvious reasons are non starters so it leaves Spurs, Liverpool or City – I wouldn’t rule out the latter taking place, as Mourinho being available would be the perfect chance for them to really take a strangle hold on the Prem and more importantly for their branding in Europe. Mancini is wank in the CL, as Inter proved.

    Of course it's all hypothetical - I agree that Mourinho wouldn't want to manage Arsenal and, maybe, our board would think Mourinho would be a nightmare to deal with. I think he's fighting against the odds for Real Madrid. Sure Real Madrid aren't a rubbish team but they're, ability-wise, clearly not as good as Barcelona. He gets results and not just through buying the best team (he doesn't have the best team right now and they're 7 points clear).

    But forget Mourinho - I think other managers would see what is happening with the club right now and be a little wary of joining us. If Wenger was spending at Dalglish/Redknapp levels and we were in the same league position, they'd be more hopeful of getting some transfer funds. At the moment it's all a bit cloudy. But we are a big name club, in London, with a good history, tradition etc etc. so that will count for something.
