You are not obliged to read, there is an option to skip.

Until your school of thought start to take responsibility and hold Arteta accountable when he falters, I will. If you are indifferent about winning a title or trophies because we should be thankful to Arteta, or because he is competing against Pep, that is you and what you believe, don't force it down the rest of us. If you are content with going trophyless despite outspending Pep and Klopp over the last 2 seasons and 700M, I am not and will raise the issues I have.

Some of us see it differently because while we or should I say 'I" acknowledge the progress, I also pick out the issues, especially when it is now historical with a predictable pattern. Arteta is going into his 5th season but somehow, he continues to be shielded because we should be grateful with the way we lost in the UCL, Europa, FA, EFL and the EPL. I could care less if I am termed a hater, it is nothing new, the club comes before anyone and that includes Arteta. It is also important to note that Arteta has not improved this team in a vacuum, we saw how he struggled with the same team Ebening took to the UEL finals where the gulf in quality was finally exposed. This isn't the case where he is begging for funds or structure.

For the sake of some of you that are recent here, I wish Seun will resurrect some of our old threads from 2010/ 2011 that have been binned when Wenger was celebrating top 4, Spy360 and Oyin are probably (I stand corrected) the other surviving handles that are still here and see where handles are going at Wenger and the club for going trophyless, so no, it is not novel that supporters of Arsenal question our trophyless situation, do your research! I don't need a United or Chelsea fan before I can question the direction of the club. United and Chelsea are in their worst run, they are financially more capable than we are and if they get it right, we are now looking at better competition versus what we have in Newcastle, Villa, City and Spuds for the top 4, not even title, since we should we are forbidden from winning a title because Arteta is competing against Pep.

After last season's bottling, yes, it was an absolute bottle, this same school of thought told us to be grateful, you told us he is a rookie learning on the job, you argued it wasn't a bottle, you told us we are in process and should trust it....But when the players left and joined their National teams, they started admitting they were in control and should have closed it out but here, it is all great and dandy because Arteta is in charge. I am sorry, I don't do toxic positivity and I am not apologetic about it. I will continue to reign on Arteta if it makes anyone uncomfortable or sleepless, so be it, I don't conform to the herd.

The fact of the matter is that once again, we were in control of our destiny but came out flat and lost 2-0 at home to Villa. I can muster a strong performance on the day but if that performance against Villa isn't indicative of our now historical inability to rise to the occasion then I am not sure what is. How about the Porto game that we won on penalties? We were lost in the euphoria of winning that many forgot that was a bad performance on the night which reared it's ugly head against Bayern in the next round.

COYG!

Another thing is why is Arteta not challenging well in other competitions?

This is Arteta second performing seasons yet he has no strong foot in other competitions.

Was literally dumped out of FA and Carabao cup early this season.

Got eliminated by Sporting in Round of 16 last season and also didn't go far in FA and Carabao Cup.

If Mikel Arteta was doing well in other competitions and even winning of them, arsenal fans won't feel bottling EPL that much.

Instead he is about deliver back-to-back top four spot and trophyless should City ends up clinching the league this season.

For those that will attack me, I'm aware Mikel has won FA Cup in 2020. What has he done with this supposed Arsenal Golden team im terms of silverware?

iamoyindamola:

Shut the fvck up
Let them win it and get credit
No one fvcking remember second or die trying wannabes
Winner takes all, too many losers embracing mediocre here I wonder how your life is outside here

You were the same person worshipping wengay for his failures until he was sacked

Yoruba will say dabi moseda
That's if you're a failure you won't see anything wrong in others failing
Change your stupid mentality so that you can improve

BlueRayDick:


Number 1 problem he has is that he dislikes Pep. I have seen him constantly downplay Pep's achievements when they do their merry-go-round arguments about Pep's acchievement on Chelsea thread.

The fact that he doesn't rate Pep, it's quite expected that he would also transfer the hate to Arteta who happens to be Pep's protege.That should tell u where he's coming from.

U can see most of the points he's been raising since yesterday lacks objectivity. He comes up with the worse case scenario when talking about Arsenal under Arteta

BlueRayDick:


So u would rather we call for the sack of a coach who about to finish the season with our second best point haul in history?

BlueRayDick:

Or we should wear sack cloth and throw ashes on our head in a season we have won record 27 games out of 37?

Spy360:

You can lie to yourself that you can beat Anthony Joshua and then call it mentality. No it's called stupidity.

While being the best can be the goal, it will start from being second to the best. That's more reasonable and a better mental drive.

If the manager thinks like this then he deserve my respect and has my confidence that he can beat Pep. In reality that is the case. And he did beat Pep twice in the year.

Here is a short clip of Caragher celebrating being joint no 20 best in the world with Ronaldo in 2005

Spy360:

A student is dragging his professor for two years and you are not compassionate. How many times did Klopp beat Pep in 8years?

We are not giving an excuse for not winning the league against Pep. But we are not also going to sack Arteta for not beating Pep.

If I finish second to Messi or Ronaldo in the Balon Dor stand, I will consider myself world best of the rest.

eph12:


I agree with Rooney. Most of the senior players have downed tools for this season and hiding behind injuries to avoid playing. Its not like they were even playing anything before, just to avoid criticism. They did the same last season, the season before and the ones before that. If most of them are still our core players here next season, we will have another very bad season

Mrviktor:
If rash ..Maguire..Bruno.. are not fit for next wek..den problem

BlueRayDick:


Oga u are jumping into a conversation u don’t know its origin.

For the past 3 weeks or thereabouts we’ve been reading about how Arteta should be shown the way out if he fails to win the league or rather “ if he bottles the league “

We’ve been asking the proponents of these arguments who they suggest should take over from Arteta if the club management decides to take such unreasonable decision and nobody has been able to come up with a name that is convincing enough.

We’ve even given example of how ur own club has gone from appointing one bad manager to another while spending heavily while at it as a caution but they won’t have it.

U are saying we are using Pep as consolation but we’ve asked u and others to name coaches u know that have successfully dragged the league with Pep in the last few years but all heard in return is a deafening silence . To sack coach no be issue , getting a replacement is . Chelsea sacked Tuchel and replaced him with Harry Porter see where that has led them .

nonny1212:
What your team lack is drive and force. You guys should push for haaland to come. Right now, your team is just like an upgraded Newcastle. Mid and average players without drive. Mark my words, madrid will dominate la liga and spain for so many years.

Keep on hoping for the messiah from la mesia.

BlueRayDick:
Arteta-led Arsenal team is on course to finish the season with 89 points; the second best points haul in the history of the club…… like second behind the invincibles’ 90 points.

But all we are reading here is that Arteta bottled the league and needs to be shown the way out despite dragging the EPL title with Pep till the last day of the season.

One lesson I’m taking away from all these is that if people no like; dem no like u. They would always amplify your inadequacies while ignoring the positives u possess . It is understand if rival fans troll us with usual trophy-less banters , but for an Arsenal fan who watched Arsenal win 27 EPL games out of 37 this season trolling the manager who did that ?

Omo!

I’m just glad that those making decisions at the club are people who don’t make decisions on emotional impulse but rather on measuring progress made by the manager

Spy360:

I don't see how someone would be jealous of his own success. It was like they wanted Arsenal to drop points so that they will have points here. Which kind of mentality is that?

Instead of celebrating a win against a tough opponent at this stage of the season they are whining about not playing tiki taka. Iberiberism 😂

Shegzdave:

You go from thread to thread advising other teams, your team are in dire need of your services

Jodera:

Shebi na by hook or crook we win Una today yet you dey troll us for not playing well.

Boss, forget this your yarnings.

What you said isn't even valid cos if we dropped drop points and I said that this your post would have been

Dantedasz:
The Sky pictures of the leaking roof at Old Trafford just shows how low this club has fallen in standards.

A minus 4 goal deficit in the league just sums everything up. Depressing.
It would probably be much worse next season if the INEOS blokes don't get their act together.

Jodera:
Anything concern Arteta and iamoyindamola, just forget am

We win.... Complain
We lose.... Complain
We draw.... Complain


He wants us to play beautifully and perhaps draw then he'll start his "bottling" mantra.

Arteta gave over 30 weeks of beautiful football, E no sweet am. Na the match wey we need 3points possible and we got it naim be the reason why Arterta would never win league

mostob:
At this stage, I won't be able to continue o. Maybe take the argument to your own page and ask your fellow fans. Or better still find someone over there to explain to you.

mostob:
Mathematically, 90+ points is the same thing as 114 points which is the highest possible points in a season. Tell me how 114 points is not enough to win a league. Dem dey correct you, you dey form.

mostob:
All what you wrote here na unnecessary shalayes. A 10-year old football fan is aware of this. Where you goofed is your inability to understand the simple mathematical explanation of 90+ points.
Admit that and move on.

mostob:
Very simple stuff... 90+ in other words translates to a minimum of 90 points. That's very clear and easily understandable now.

mostob:
Banter aside, I really don't expect you not to know what 90+ means.
Like, Jodera was giving the team a minimum of 90 points as a target FFS.

Jokerman:


Tucheliban or Bin Laden... Either way, na abyss o 😂

Jodera:

So 90+ is not a winners mentality.

Anything just to say sha!
