Rayvin 5552 Posted yesterday at 14:02 Share Posted yesterday at 14:02 5 hours ago, Alex said: Was thinking about this last night but my dad has often said that Leeds in the 70s won a lot less than they should have because they were so disliked. So even in meaningless games for the opposition, they tried their hearts out. Obviously that was a different era and that was a thuggish Leeds team even by the standards of back then. But Arsenal are so dislikable in a different way. Arteta is such a fucking graceless, classless wanker. Their players are snide, soft, preening pricks. And the amount of entitled, ridiculous fam blud, you feel me, bro? Supporters they have is off the charts Yep. I mean in Arteta's case, they were talking before the game about how there is a rivalry between him and Howe. No there fucking isn't man, there's a rivalry on Arteta's side for sure, but to imagine that Howe gives the guy any more thought than any other manager is nonsense. So in this case, while I totally agree with the Leeds point, I would also say that Arteta himself psychologically hinders his team in this fixture because he has no chill whatsoever, and because his players will know how much getting shown up by us bothers him. The reality is Howe cooked him alive with a perfectly executed gameplan that Arteta didn't anticipate. He did not expect us to attack them. He had no answer for it. That should have been his post match interview. That might have relieved some pressure on his players. "Yeah we played well but I failed to anticipate that Newcastle would attack us so willingly, we don't see that very often at home and it's something I will definitely be more aware of in future." How fucking hard would that have been. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 10382 Posted yesterday at 15:02 Share Posted yesterday at 15:02 If we finish off Arsenal, as we should, I want the dippers in the final, because if we beat them it would cap a cup run for the ages (Forest, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool). Also beating those bastards would slay some demons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5552 Posted yesterday at 16:45 Share Posted yesterday at 16:45 When the Arsenal gig goes wrong, will Arteta work in the PL again? I'd say no. The top ten wouldn't have him, and the bottom ten would be 'beneath' him. He'll go back to Spain, beneath the top two big teams and probably end up with some midtable side. Maybe Italy at a push. The guy just doesn't have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6917 Posted yesterday at 16:56 Share Posted yesterday at 16:56 He is a CF away from getting a trophy. His stock might be fairly low at the moment but I don’t think he is a bad manager He looks pretty difficult to work with to be honest which might put a few clubs off.

His stock might be fairly low at the moment but I don’t think he is a bad manager He looks pretty difficult to work with to be honest which might put a few clubs off. Only at Arsenal, his 'home' club, is he going to get 5 years and £800m spending, while failing to deliver any trophies. No other club in the top ten is going to touch that level of failure. There's no evidence that he can really build a team and he has had ample time to do so. Every single year, Arsenal look like the same team they've been for the past two decades, give or take some temporary form periods. They are still soft as shite, they are still mentally weak, and they are still ponderous. All Arteta seems to have done this year is hire a set piece coach to give the team a new dimension which, according to their fans and even Walcott, they've leaned into so much that they've forgotten all the other things they did well. I would say Saka has more to do with their performance over the past two or three years than Arteta. That said - not being able to cut top ten in the premier league doesn't make him a bad manager. It just means he's not a very good one. I would say maybe Man Utd would take him but then they're not top ten anymore. EDIT - my bad, seems he won an FA cup 5 years ago. Before he'd had the time to 'build his team'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlights: 1 - Arteta is finished. 2 - Havertz is a joke. 3 - They need Isak. 4 - They hate Gordon, but they want to sign him too. 5 - One of them is 17 stone and could beat up Joelinton. 6 - They were hugely insulted when we subbed Isak off and thought Howe was dissing Arteta. 7 - They think Odegard is finished because he's now a father. 8 - Some of them did admit they played well but that we were better with our gameplan. That if they play like that at the weekend, they beat Man Utd. 9 - They are literally Stoke but not as good at it.
