European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by daveP(m): 11:15pm On Jun 02, 2025
Finals reached by the "Big Six" clubs since Mikel Arteta became Arsenal manager:

Chelsea –7
Manchester City –6
Liverpool –5
Manchester United –5
Tottenham –2
Arsenal – 1

During this period, the other 5 clubs have made it to a European final except Arsenal.

What’s our excuse?
Copied

A staunch Arteta supporter posted this today. Im wondering what changed

Evidence of delulu fans
Even club legends are complaining, enough is enough
Alll over club football, legends speak up. Perhaps Bayern fans should drag Kahn for saying some stuff about the club.

Perhaps When Koeman and co made statements about Barca, they're foolish. Until e reason Henry and suddenly they push sinister agendas as why he talks that way. Lol.

When you say reason, an excuse pops up for it. When you demand results, the comparism that was dodged suddenly pops back in usage.

What exactly irks y'all about demanding for results and game changers when that's what's lacking in philosophy? Or is winning one trophy what you'll be satisfied with and then drought continues? Is that it?


Recruitment alone is one big evidence to everything we disagree about. Throwing away without replacements. Even girls that don't understand football but watch it with you can see it well.

Had to bring this back. As one of the delulu Arteta supporter, I'm not going to let this slide. Do you know how much Arteta has spent on players from 2020 to date, £600m+! Klopp spent almost a billion pounds to buy players before Liverpool could win the league after 5 years he's been coaching them. We keep screaming at Arteta to buy this player and that player, we never ask how much funds he has at his disposal. Last transfer window, the board didn't release any funds. What else was he supposed to do? Buy players from his own pocket? I don't believe any coach can do better than Arteta is doing with the resources at his disposal.

Proudly delulu Arteta supporter cool✌🏽
Oh my!!!

You started and ended this the wrongest of ways. You make it seem like none of us complaining currently were not staunch supporters. You also seem to not grasp the usage of that term with respect to time and hence, decided to wear it as some proud laurel.... I dunno how to react to this overall, but you started off on the wrong foot.


Most of those complaining have details wrt time and that's what irks many. Internal details abound. Not to talk of the external details, the ones of rivals also competing for trophies-what makes them stand out and all.

Why the term delulu is because they kick against any criticism of MA when even his godfather gets criticism in loads in that very Man City he is. They kick against any sort of reasonable assessment of his term as manager when we assessed Emery and use it to taunt him till date. Did Emery ever get this level of grace ever, to say the least?

So Klopp build a team, and then Slot came and used that team to win over Arteta that won FA with Emery's team but suddenly can't smell even Carabao each season?


Woh. Oro por jare. Bottom line-you seriously misconstrued what that term meant in context

There are visible areas that needs improving to cross the line for 2 years now buh we are either going for 25m back-up GK and been linked with Ajax's Hato ( another defender) for 50m again...

Thank you. They wear it as armor that any little sparring, they just use the armor over and over. You throway strikers and na Kai you carry come to replace them. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Infact he didn't replace them. Empty zone. Got his Kai and then shifted him to the 9 zone. Confusion confusion.

One would think we aren't surrounded by witnesses and evidences to make any foolish defense of his decisions. One would think we have clubs from Latvia league as rivals. Moving like say other teams no dey do their own to grab trophies and that ours is the uniquest of all. Smh

Nigeria football authorities needs to train our female footballers that they don't have to look like a male because they've chosen to become a footballer , they can maintain their female traits and still play football....most Nigeria league players dress like male because they believe football is a man sport
Blame it on most being tomboys 1st and then 2ndly on the mendem that started the very 1st street training that made these girls ever think of going pro.


I remember Cynthia in 2008 and Uncle Ben for BravoGee, Ipaja. She had the current physique of JOE and as he drilled her more and more, she cut her braids, went full gym, built muscles, began to play with the mendem with barely any physical deficiency. She moved to PH las las sha. I dunno if she played NWFL anyways.

Uncle Wale dey Abeokuta for example
Uncle Sola dey Bariga

Most shaped these ladies physically and mentally. Some had big connect and unless you fitted in, recommendations fit no reach ya side. So imagine that too.

I'm not saying he left because of the budget, I'm saying Trump may have secretly asked him to resign because Trump wasn't happy that he criticised the budget. Don't forget that Elon's job is to help the US cut down on its spending, so Elon was right to have made that comment about the budget.
Quite true that. The way USA just dey gather funds from Saudi though. Phewww.

Not at all. Even though, he recently reduced his commitment at DOGE in order to have more time for his businesses, his sudden exit is most likely related to his criticism of the rubbish over-bloated budget that Trump presented to the Congress.
I doubt budget is what this man is interested in. He wants anything at the helm of Tech and AI. Is it not suspi that half a trillion dollars project doesn't have the very man that can be the 5&6 of such at the helm?

Atiku should keep quiet.


He is an integral part of this collosal failure. He helped bring it to power. If he wants any respite, he should not run but support PO strategically.

It's only in Nigerian Politics that someone will play both sides in the space of 4 years.


Since the betrayal of the 1959s, cross carpetting has become a culture in our politics due to the repute of who started it and made it renown today. Now it is so normal that it can happen under 18months. Yet no law to curb that. Smh

The delulians want us to be eternally grateful that he "lifted the club from misery"


Let's assume that's even the factual truth, are we then meant to stay stuck on that as each season passes? No criticism? No questions? Nothing divergent must be raised to his royal highness?

1st season- stay grateful
2nd
3rd
4th
5th-ask no question. He took you out of misery



Begging question: But Mikel Arteta himself is the one that said Trust The Process?

Meaning we have every right to be critical as time passes, especially with respect to what rivals are doing better.

Yeah yeah… But her size isn’t a major problem though, have seen Goalkeepers bigger than her perform well.. As she grows she will reduce gradually..!

Look at Judith Chime, Rachael Ayegba they were far bigger than her but still played at the top level..
Major reason is not even about sample size of those that beat the odds. There'll always be such. We saw how No.1 got slower with gains and how she shapali hit the gym and recovered. Linda has bulked up so much and it's concerning. If e cost anything nobody go remember all the rest of others than can still be agile and swift while bulky.

Is Arteta interested in ever having this again under his watch? How would it feel if na "everyone can score" we go use remember when in fact, under Wenger, everyone could score too but Igwe stood out became he was igwe and also free to do his thing? We need golden boot again. If Raya dey colet golden glove, then we need to replicate what Auba last got for us this next season.
