I thought West Ham actually won a European trophy?

To be fair, Arsenal have won two European trophies.

Blue tick wankers do it on purpose to rage bait, they should just be ignored tbh.

For me, I’d certainly leave Arteta continue his work and see how Berta has replaced Edu, whether they can improve a bit in recruitment. That change (or better to say Edu’s departure mid-season) has gone a bit under the radar.

They do need a few more bits and pieces in the transfer market, but that of course always goes in hand with how you use what you have at disposal. They don’t necessarily win the league by simply buying a big lump of a striker like Osimhen and that’s it, I’m not one of those.

Definitely a midfielder (and since Rice is, in this phase of his career, becoming more of an all action #8, they do need a controller) and possibly a forward or two. Certainly a central option of some kind and possibly another player for new quality (Martinelli is still good to very good, but has become a bit predictable).

Some real positives from the likes of Timber, Skelly, Nwaneri.

Arteta has a deal until 2027 and then in a year’s time at the latest, they will probably decide whether it’s time to continue together or there are new, different motivations from one or both camps.

This is nothing recent, see the various reported Rodgeresque gimmics (YNWA playing loudly in training, pickpockets at team diner, etc.).

We can assume this is only the ones we know of, but I can’t imagine any Arsenal player being too impressed.

I haven’t heard about Klopp doing anything like this. (Maybe an unfair comparison, since Klopp is unique)

Everything he does is like a bad class project in a freshman level “leadership” class in university.

If they get beat by Newcastle next week, and they’ve already lost to them three times this season, all it then takes is City to beat Bournemouth and they’d go into the last day of the season in 4th.

We should have beaten them today, even with the number of good chances they missed, but I can’t believe that it’s been three years since we last beat them in the league. That brings up the bad memories of pre-Klopp years. That said, I’ll take drawing against them if it means we’ll win the league.

We’re making these types of banners about opposition managers now? I don’t know, with this and the booing of Trent… this isn’t exactly what I was hoping for in the last couple of games of a league winning season. We’re coming across as a bunch of entitled arseholes honestly.

Did you see the one with the lightbulb? Fuck me :rofl:

Almost entirely, our banners support our team and revere our legends and history. Occasionally, like this, something else sneaks in. My personal view is that it’s fine. File under acceptable banter. Arteta has been very outspoken lately, and if a couple of fans make a banner and have a little pop, fine.

There is a line though. For example, if the bulk of how you define yourselves as fans is by being against your rivals, and not for your own team - and Everton, I’m looking at you - then you need to give your head a wobble and support your own.

A little pop at Arteta? Fine by me.

Another reason to dislike the Arse:

Problem I have with this is, you can be very hostile to Israeli governments attacks on Gaza as I am but can we stick to that why does everything have to have a theory.

The guy deserves the sack for trying to look more intelligent than he is.

My view is to stop it you need to work with Israelis who oppose it and there are plenty. His kind of approach achieves nothing

Forget for a minute their toxic fan base and Lego man. The arse should have won a couple of titles under the Cheaty Dome, if a level playing field was in operation.

The real enemy should be obvious to all.
