Mikel Arteta: Aston La Vista To The Title?

[Weliveinacrazyworld]

If we don’t win Europa this year, he must be sacked. Simple as that.

Unfortunately, you just never know with our unambitious board. The fact that West Ham are 4th with a much worse squad than Arsenal shows that Arteta isn’t the right manager for us.

Why do you keep posting random highlights of players?

The first time I saw this shirt, poor Santi was sucking in his gut while wearing it at the kit launch

The yellow kit in 16/17 was pretty nice by them, a darker yellow with black around the sides.

...the gaffer's first involvement with Arsenal, nice 3-0 win for us from 2003!

What team is that?

What team is that?

Rangers.

It's the preseason when Arsène first paired Sol and Kolo together.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

He put his hand on Freddie's beautiful face. Freddie leaves Arsenal when Arteta becomes manager. Freddie critical of Arteta on sky. Its all making sense now.

Didn't recognise that Rangers kit at all but I remember very well that Kolo at CB started vs them and Celtic that summer.

What a season we were in for...

 

[Hunta]

Biggest game of his short stint here as coach?

I think it is.

I think it is.

Think his FA cup final was bigger as it was our only chance at European football.

This game is relatively easy, we should be fine for sure.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Yeah the FA cup semi and final were both much bigger than this. But I'd still say Mikel needs to go if he fails to win tonight, because that's appalling.

 

[Riou]

I guess, this is bigger than any FA Cup game for Arteta...the prise for winning the Europa is not only the trophy but also Champions League football, while the former just gets you a trophy and Europa League.

So if you look at it like that, then this game is bigger.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Realistically I don't think Arteta's job in going to be under threat this season.

If we go out to Slavia Prague tonight though it just adds additional pressure over the summer and the start of next season ( Where is job will be under more realistic threat you feel)

It's kind of why I'm against giving up on the league and just giving kids run outs. It's not even really about where we finish in the table. Arteta needs to alleviate a bit of pressure. Win 4-5 on the bounce in the PL against weaker sides and it just releases a bit of pressure and might enable more fans to be a tad more positive going into next season. Stringing 4-5 wins together is something we've struggled badly with this season. Now would be a good time to change that up.

In fairness i'd rather go out tonight than lose in the final.

Your confidence in Arteta is startling......

 

[Breezy ®]

If we go out tonight I don’t see how Mikel can stay.

Could be shown the door with no European football?

 

[Pyres7]

I mean we're only in the EL quarter finals so the FA cup final was a bigger game.

For Arteta this is a massive game though. Surely even his biggest supporters can't defend a mid table finish and getting knocked out to Slavia Prague in the EL quarters?

Yes but we're still three good results away from that game. It's a weird one to quantify anyway.
