Arteta out!!!!!
See, one thing that is fact anywhere in this world and beyond is that, once we lose a game, the fault is 100% on Arteta. And if we win a game, it accolades is only for the players. That's a fact in the heavens and below.
So therefore, Arteta out!!!!.

If we win major trophy, you’ll see how those criticizing him will praise him toheavens,

People only remember the victors and not the runner up

We need results(cup) to cancel insult

When Leicester win the league, Arteta wasn't manager. It was Wenger.

Arteta wasn't even a coach then.

Let him go back to 1865 to look for an example

Did Arteta bottled it or not?
When Leicester won the league they didn't bottle it
Arsenal, spuds and city challenged Leicester for the league
Who have been challenging Arteta for the league? Just one club of and that's city grin

No one said you shouldn't appreciate Arteta, the way you have your opinion is the same way I have mine too Abi?
this man ehh. grin cheesy cool i don't know why It's always funny to me when you talk about bottling. Other people can say it and it won't mean anything, but once I see you tupe anything bottling e dey just funny me. Make we just win epl, if you no write episode of praise for Arteta i go know say u get strong mind.

Well slot did it
That's why Arteta is not special, you all defended him and said it wasn't easy defeating Guardiola
Well slot did it by just get Chiesa in his first season he used same squad Klopp left for him.
If he can win a double or treble or quadruple then I can start rating him, he should just win something.
Funny enough I was one of his biggest fans when he won the fa cup I thought he meant serious business
injury damaged us last season, injuries and bad referee decisions or else Liverpool no for smell am. You should know that or you just want avoid that talk.

The competitions we played we ended the season trophy less
You made reference to Chelsea spending and I told you their achievements
I didn't remind you anything, Na you they remind me of the managers we wanted to replace Arteta

Like I said let the sleeping dog lie, he hasn't won anything so far yet let him win first then we can admit he's good or not
all the managers you suggested at some point has regressed so much i don't even remember their names. We're winning epl this season, shebi I don de talk am since. Just wait and see.

You talked about managers now why not mention them yourself
Did Leicester believe they could win the league too and they did it, but Arteta bottled it
If he's a victim of his own success why hasn't he delivered any trophies?
He hasn't started a competition and won it the fa cup sef he met it half way
Una just they put this man for dragging, leave shalaye let him shame us by winning trophies, every true fans badly crave for it and I am sure he does too
Let him win trophies then you can drag me I will accept not now you want to be gas lighting on something that's not 100% here
how can I mention managers when I am telling you he's the best grin grin
When Leicester won the league they did with 81 points, do you know how many times we have passed that 81 points and didn't win under Arteta. If I talk now you would say I wan use Apari excuse. But who challenged Leicester. I will always celebrate and praise Arteta for his good works, just as you always want to drag and and discredit him. grin

I just wasn’t us to have a successful season capped with multiple trophies a then when we at in off season we will have some really extensive discussions on this thread .

We will touch all of the talking point that has been used to criticize this team and call for Arteta’s despite visible progress in the past 3 to 4 years .

I no wan Dey put the cart before the horse , na why I just Dey avoid all those talks about Arteta being a bottler , Arteta wasting money , Arteta being well paid and not showing workings , etc….

I want make results cancel insults first , then we will have some serious fact based discussion in a relaxed atmosphere where nobody will be vexing and using frustration of bad season ending to make their point .
e just sure me say that epl trophy dey come home. Just watch and see, if we win, they would still look am less and tell you it took him 6years and billions to get it. Like say no be money Chelsea, man city, man utd, Liverpool take the win league. Aside from Leicester magic, who can win epl without making some significant spending. Epl sure this season, na then my voice go even loud pass. grin grin

Chelsea won conference league and club world cup
I will take those trophies ahead of finishing second and going trophy less
More over, Chelsea have completed football in all aspects
We haven't done that
Just let the sleeping dog lie and celebrate what you feel is an achievement for your coach
What's the point of all this without trophies, Na that one we go endure abi
Arsenal didn't play conference league, and we never played the club world Cup too. This seaon wey Chelsea played ucl wetin happen?. Na me dey celebrate person wey I believe say dey try and you wan remind me say i no suppose celebrate am. grin

Better in what aspect? Going trophy less and keeping bridesmaid position every season?
No matter the progress without trophies is equal to zero, Saliba came out recently we are tired of ending the season with nothing
That should tell you no one rate them until they get something out of the season, that's why dullards like Carragher, Neville and Mikel be taking shots at us anyhow.
Arteta wants respect I have no issues with it he should earn it and shame someone like me especially me until then I see nothing special in what he's done.

Peace!!!
you talked about spending money and i talked about bringing in the money. In 2023 season no one even yourself saw us or believed we would be competing for the league, Arteta took everyone by surprise. With how bad Arsenal was when he took over and the fact that he was a rookie made everyone believe that his 5 year plan was enough to let me go on. But he did in 3 years what he expected to do after 5 years. Arteta is just a victim of his own progress and expectations. Yes trophies is important, but mention the coaches that have won trophies that you would comfortably replace him with. I just want to know, please mention like 2 names, I no need 1, 2 please.

you know, there's how people would talk about something so much you would want to experience it yourself. These are Italians that understand the importance of defence organisation and coordination. They just came to enjoy the game, and surely they did.

Which of the managers compared with him spent half of what he's spent at arsenal.
Just mention 1
of all the teams that has spent more money than Arsenal in the last 6 years, who's better than us this season mention 1.
It was obvious that the squad depth cost us the 2022/2023 epl. Injury to jesus, saliba and tomi affected us. Same with last season. Now we decide to spend after all, to strengthen the team and avoid that, you're also complaining.
Let me ask you, since we're talking numbers and money, which Arsenal manager has brought more money for the club like Arteta?? Mention just 1, like 1. So for someone who has been on a progressive run with the kind of money he brings to the club, he shouldn't be allowed to spend it in order to make the team better and bring in more money?.

Mention the names let's do the comparison.

So because you feel he spent money then he doesn't deserve praise? Are you that hardened?

Are you aware that Pep bought two marquee players this January?

Pep spent more than Arteta this season o

Germaphobe you see what I am saying? It's not about being heartbroken
just this season Liverpool spent more than us but look at where they are.
Chelsea has always been spending every single year, look at where they are.
City spent just 7 million less than us, look at them.
Someone spent money, same money that Liverpool, man city, man utd and Chelsea has also spent in the last 3 seasons but yet we're better than them. Even if Arteta wins the quadruple, he still won't regard him. It is that obvious. But ask him to mention a coach better than Arteta and watch him withdraw.

When it's all said and done, I will be expecting a shooting tribute from Nze Roland17, and Otumba Iamoyindamola
na heartbreak make dem no believe Arteta and you can't truly blame them.
But every manager that has ever been compared to Arteta, he has somehow out performed all of them. No single manager that was compared to him still stands shoulder to shoulder with him currently. Which makes me wonder, what if the management had let him go and choose one of them names, we for dey inside gutter by now.

There’s nothing big in the shoes of a player who is almost always not fit enough to see us challenge for a league . He’s always out in the most crucial stages of different seasons .

Zubi is doing more than filling Partey shoes by being available when we need him. When we eventually win the league , everyone will remember Zubi as one of the most important players along with Rice , Gabriel , Saliba and Raya who featured constantly all through the season to ensure we end our years of trophyless .

Talks like “Partey’s shoes are too big for Zubi to fit “ will have no meaning to anyone when they see him lifting the EPL trophy
you get it 💯. He's so available no matter the game. Partey sef dey ghost for some matches, makes mistakes too, even a lot of them.

Fkforyou:
It’s wierd how Kai grew on me.

He is not the most sleeky of a player, but I like the fact that he is very dangerous.

He seems like a lucky player.

Someone that can be at the right place, at the right time to kill you off.

That’s what I like about him.
Kai will give you everything you need in a striker position just that he isn't clinical enough. My problem with most people that criticised him a lot the previous seasons is that they're making excuses for Gyokeres. Gyokeres was supposed to be far better in goals than kai, and I don't take the "it's his first season" agenda. At least kai will create chances ans assist even if he doesn't score and he knows how to link up well with other players.

You get it. I think many are confusing his availability as reliability. Two different things entirely. The only excuse is it's his 1st season, but Partey arrived and began work straight up. Another difference between them. I cut him some slack but i no go dey here and see person dey do like Partey's last season naim dem go kon use summarize his overall contribution for Arteta since he arrived.

We need him even more organized than early on cos we've entered the serious phase now, especially this UCL.
Zubi proved he can be vital for us earlier, everyone who played with him then always complemented his play and it was beautiful seeing it too, but then along the road he lost his cool. He seems scared to make some risky forward passes but always make the risky back passes. He will come good again, I hope.

We shouldn't be too haste in praising him in as much as we are pleased with the position we currently occupy both in the domestic and European competitions but he needs to win us atleast a major trophy that is when we can now start pumping champagne 🍾.
nah!! Bro. I am a certified Arteta fan boy (allegedly). So what more can you expect, and i already said it that I have 100% believe that we are winning the league. No be now i believe, right before the season started. So allow me to appreciate the good things as it is happening just as some people discredit and abuse him as e dey hot.

Let me do this.

Some of us saw the boldened early on. Me in particular have a track record here for early detection despite backlash. Iamoyin also detected it. We know he's his own player but Partey shoes are giant shoes. Without that court case and regular injuries, Partey and Eze for cook wetin no good for rivals. For now, manager don finally accept say Zubi no be am. He didn't want to until now. He still has much to contribute this season sha💯
currently i think the only thing zubi has over partey is availability. He has gone so soft than earlier in the campaign. But we will be alright.

First time we're in ucl quarter finals for 3 straight seasons since after 2007-2010.
First time in our history that we are in carabao cup final, fa cup quarter final, ucl quarter final and have an advantage in the league title race.
Arteta already broke the highest win rate in a single season in Arsenal's history in 2023/2024 but this year he has won more games at this stage in all competition.
Big shout out to the owners and board members for standing with him.
In as much as Arteta has endured many abuses and doubts from rivals and fans, he still is the best we could have ever asked for. For someone who took this job when other prolific coaches were rejecting us, gave us a taste of trophy chase when no one expected it in 2023, I will always have his back. It's left to see how the seaon ends, but no matter what happens, Arteta deserves his flowers from each and every fan who questioned him.
