    They get a lot of shit… But “Panic on the streets of London” Is a fucking epic banner by the City lot.

  2. Must is a daft word. It’s not the end of the world if he doesn’t. It’s not even the end of his career.

    Plus he had his chance. The conversation about what Arteta needs to do needed to be had weeks ago when winning the title could have been sewn up without City breathing down their necks.

  3. I don’t know man. We played a good game today. Havertz finishes either one of the two big chances he missed and its a different coversation. Its a personnel issue. It has been a personnel issue for years now. You can blame Arteta for buying these players, because its mad that we’re in a 4th successive title race and we’re still talking about our strikers being not clinical.

    Arsenal have shown time and time again that they are not good enough to handle the pressure that comes with competing for major silverware.

    Getting beaten to a title by City is never a catastrophe. But, the football Arteta preaches is so boring. Even if they are successful it would still be the most underwhelming win ever so what’s the point with that guy. He rebuilt the car so well done for that. Now they need to find a real driver. Someone with balls preferably. And someone who doesn’t hate strikers.

    why is everyone saying they’ve lost the title, if man city win their game in hand they’re level on points? GD is similar too.

    I think Arsenal fans should be happy they even challenge for titles and should stop whinging all the time

  8. Arsenal bottle it again. People get shot down for stating the truth, but we’ve told time and time again what their mentality is like

    He has two big titles which can win and can and probably will show how everyone is wrong.

    Sometimes trying to prove to others wrong bur accidentally proving them right is what we unfortunately face in life, it is what it is.

    Arsenals DNA is bottling trophies, there is nothing wrong here, only Wenger managed to break that early 2000s

    Idk. This is Arsenal under Arteta. Fast starts and slow finishes. They get themselves into the title contention conversation early and then fade. I actually thought this year they might squeak across cause City just hasn’t been themselves and no one else was a real threat but it’s not looking good.

    Bro focused on buying a million defenders midfielders and is wondering why they can’t score

    Is it better to be a nearly man or a nowhere near man? I’m not sure, would say Man United fans take multiple seconds and nearly winning the league over what they’ve had in recent years? I’d say yes, challenging is better than not even if you don’t win its better to at least come close but at the end of the day, if leaves without winning he won’t be remembered for nearly winning, he would be remembered for bottling it.

    All banter aside, Arsenal play twice before City play after Burnley, they could go back 6 points clear and the pressure swings back on City, and City do have a much harder run in on paper.

    Play actual football like today for the rest of the season and more people would actually hear him out. I dont mind becoming an arsonist if I have to, if he needs more fires lit

    We’re gonna be the English Atletico if we stick with him but at least Simeone won some leagues

  18. It’s kinda not up to him at this point. Newcastle, west ham, and Fulham with atleti sprinkled in? Hard to see them getting 9 points in their current form. They could arteta ball 1-0 wins but then they may get fucked on GD. I expect city to put like 4 on burnley mid week

    I disagree. City have built their team by being able to pay the biggest wages, get the best manager in world football, rack up 115 charges. Why aren’t Chelsea or United asked the same questions? Because to go through a full rebuild and beat City over 38 games is practically impossible and they aren’t close. The only reason the attention is focussed on Arteta is because media networks have been threatened with lawsuits if the talk about the sportswashing that City had to use to get in this position to begin with.
