Mikel Arteta: Winner 🤴

[Batman]

Surely utd wouldn't do this BS we doing currently if they were in our position that how bad we are recently

I can't see them being outplayed by Wolves twice in a season. This might be the worst run since ESR and Saka saved him all things considered.

I remember laughing when people said Pochettinos Sp**s team is our ceiling.......

It seem it heading this way only thing left is CL final loss.

Good team but look like won't be remembered with trophies i can't see other manager change them they just making basic errors

Away to Sp**s and it will be their cup final. In just 3 days. We've used up our 'lives'. Next few games I'm not looking forward to.

 

[Rasputin]

this is looking like the biggest shat the bed in history

I actually reckon we'll beat them and hope will be back at a high level. Sp**s are bigger bottlers than us.

The FA and league cup double shouldn’t be enough to keep his job.
A month ago does any Arsenal fan genuinely think it’s okay if we only win the Fa and league cup? Absolutely not. So it shouldn’t be the case now because he’s bottling it.

Completely agree. I don't care about either of the domestic cups. I said since before the season began that he had to win the league or CL, preferably both.

When it became clear that the league was essentially being handed to us by Liverpool's collapse and City's horrendous start (and they still aren't very good, we're just bottling) then winning the league became an absolute non negotiable and I still think we should make the final of the CL at a minimum.

Even if he won the CL, I don't think that bottling the league would be acceptable though it would of course soften the blow. He cannot be allowed to end the year with neither and remain in a job. Alternatives will be available and should be pursued.

I think if we lose the cl with the league gone he will walk.

Don’t forget City playing the day before us. The pressure if City win their game will be ridiculous and we’re not coping with it.
My heart is saying we’re still top and 5 points clear, my heads saying we’ve blown it - realistically City are 2 points behind and we still have Sp**s, Chelsea and away to City.
It’s not looking good.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

The worst part about him is he'll watch the season and still think what we need is a kick off coach???

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Crapao cup and FA won't be enough to satisfy fans but the expectation is league title. It'll be still nice to win them.

But honestly our performance not giving me hope we beat city or reach fa cup final

 

[Gooner Zig]

It'll be jokes when we beat Sp**s and Chelsea in consecutive weeks.

Wouldn't put it past these bunch of bums.

He could win the FA, the Carling, AND the UCL... if he bottles the league, he has to go imo. You don't bottle the league when we could've been as many as 12 points clear just a few weeks ago in mid January. Not to a team who likely will barely get 80 points. That's criminal. That's worth firing imo, specially after 3 successive 2nd place finishes. I've said it before, I'll say it again, I'd rather finish 4th or 5th or even 6th than finish 2nd again.

Imo mentally I already know where this heading man city always have more experience than us if we give them first place then they not giving it back they'll likely get it in match day 30 and won't look back

 

[DUFFMAN]

His youth and inexperience is now showing up.

Tell me any manger who has won the PL aged 43 when it was their first job?

 

[Batman]

You say that but we're actually one of the worst teams in the league at taking throw ins and he's flirting with that long throw coach before fixing how bad we are at basic ones anywhere on the pitch.

There’s no way we can bottle the league and get knocked out the CL and the club tries to put a positive spin on winning the bloody domestic cups. Wenger was hounded out the club for “ only “ winning the FA cup on a fraction of the budget Arteta has been allowed to spend, while playing far more attractive football than the gobshite we’re forced to endure this season.
If City do overtake us in the league in the coming weeks the club should already be sounding out potential replacements - Alonso, Enrique, etc. Start acting like a proper big club.

I hate the fact that today has given me real doubts about us doing that. I genuinely can see us losing to a guy who can't stay employed for 20 matches to gift the Spuds their first win of 2026 and then dropping points to a Palmer penalty or something against Briefcase ******. We've been quite poor in the big domestic fixtures other than pumping Villa and the Spuds and now even the bankers are not bankers. I hope I'm wrong but I see this spiraling. We might finish third.

The definitely can try but I hope they won't. I hope that they really look at what has gone on and recognize it for what it is. As @2Smokeyy has said, and I've been feeling and others on social media are now starting to say, there is a whiff of burnout about this group that suggests that even if they limp to the title, it's only downhill from here and there needs to be some fresh ideas from the manager as well as a refresh of the attackers in particular to avoid going backwards.

We've probably bottled the PL trophy again now, he's got to go. He probably wasn't ready to be a head PL manager of a major club. He's tactics are completely different to how we played before his time, he's way too defensive.

I definitely don't want to finish below second but other than that I agree with you.
