Mikel "False Dawn" Arteta. Average players get purple patches from time to time, so do the coaches; consistency separates true greats from journeymen.

Then again, you know us, we don't do sensible things - and Rangnick is the most sensible of them all. Arteta is Kroenkes' Willian - they know he's bad, but they're sticking with him in the hope of making a point further down the line...hopefully.

The worry with Arteta is not that we're midtable; even though it of course stings. The worry is that we'll miss out on genuine managing talent (like Rangnick, or even Tuchel or Rose), only to let Mikel go anyway, but with no worthy alternative available at that time. Once again we'll be shown...

Decent game, but nothing earth-shattering...yet.

Elite chin.

Thanks for the memories, @HairSprayGooners, but it's time to go.

But you did say we should give Runarsson more time though, as he's "potential world class" numerous times.

Both Southampton and Everton players didn't seem to give their full effort to be honest - we're now at a level where other clubs know they don't have to in order to win.

If @al-Ustaadh and @HairSprayGooners were on Titatnic, they'd be the guys yelling: "The ship isn't sinking! Our side just rose up 200 feet!"

Just show Kroenkes this tidbit from Rangnick's wiki page and he'll be appointed tonight:
