Something that we detest.

Look at the reaction when they renewed their deal or the reaction to Standard Chartered or even Tibet Water.

Compare that to having visit Rwanda on your shirt when the Tory government are trying to send asylum seekers there. Or taking hundreds of millions from Emirates so they can sportswash the image of the UAE.

Do you know what Axa do….

Actually forget it, I don’t want to say anymore on this.

You detest? And still take the money….

To be fair mate, City also dropped 5 points in their final two games last season when they'd already won it and had the CL final to come.

Shhhusssh it doesn’t fit his agenda of only Arsenal being able to challenge city

Totally, everyone is happy. You with winning a trophy, us for challenging for the title.

About what I'd expect from this mentally weak, small time shower of shit.

it’s what he does when he’s having a proper sulk, he’s an utter snide.  Amazing how he always has so many twisted round his little finger.

Constantly shows what he is on here, a snide c*nt. With the addition of being the epitome of the spinelessness of their fan base. Spends all his waking hours on a Liverpool forum first thing in the morning til last thing at night making stupid statements then licking arse, then when he's sulking throws out barbs and then licks arse. Needs fucking off as does NoBrain and the Scottish fella.

I think Arsenal should improve. Saliba and Gabriel are a brilliant centre back pairing. Rice and Odegaard are great pairing in midfield. Saka is still young. Havertz after a slow start looks to be fitting in well now. All young and more experienced now. Not sure about Arteta though is he a top level coach, and hate the diving and moaning. But I can see they are a good team.

Why do you segregate Arsenal being a good team from Arteta as a manager? Arsenal are a good team because of Arteta. If you watch our matches we go very long stretches where we dont concede chances let alone goals. We have the best defence in the league, which is something we never did before.  Arteta inherited a Bellerin-Mustafi-Luiz-Kolasinac backline which was utterly dreadful.

Arteta improves players too, people laughed at the Havertz and Ben White singing. No one really blinked when we signed Odegaard. All the players buy into Arteta's methods, no players walk back, they sprint back, no player is caught not putting the effort in. Which is a total contrast to the player power era of the club that fostered in the later Wenger era and Emery era - effort was optional during this time.

Ive always said. Arteta is the solution at Arsenal, not the problem. If we sacked Arteta, he would take 12 months off and replace Pep at Man City in a year. What would we do, join the managerial rate race and shit out an Allegri appointment?

Arteta's great crime - giving Arsenal fans expectations of winning the league and going 0-2 in title races against the City juggernaut. 49 points from 54 in our last 18 games gets you marginally short, it's a tough mountain to climb.

To all the cute comments about Ten Hag winning more than Arteta. Lets say Arne suffers from homesickness, and Liverpool have a straight choice between Ten Han Hag and Arteta You really think you taking Ten Hag?

We're not hiring an ex-Manchester United manager under any circumstances. The only one bigging up Ten Hag was TNB.

The "cute" comments were a response to one of your own's snide post on Ten Hag wining more in two years than Klopp. True, but it's a bit dense coming from an Arsenal fan.

You lot have to find some way to cope, but title challenges aren't trophies. Makes you sound like your neighbours: Spurs 2015/16 season review - We put the pressure on!

I never said anything about Ten Hag winning more in the last two years than Klopp. Ive always felt the domestic cups can be a distraction from poor league showing. Man United finished 8th with a negative goal difference. I think Ten Hag has been utterly dreadful for Man United, whilst he has won a League and FA Cup, he has not implemented any cohesive style of play that can achieve sustainable results. He has been their two years and he has not addressed any of the underlying issues that exist at Man United that have manifested in an 8th place finish and negative goal difference.

Ten Hag has bought poorly as well. Casemiro, Antony, Onana all look like poor buys & whilst United will take this FA Cup to round off a dreadful season, it does nothing to set the up for next year. I know this because Arteta won the FA Cup and finished 8th - it did nothing to turn anything around the next season. All it does is band aid the wounds for a few months.

If you told me Arsenal would win the FA Cup next season, and finish 8th with a negative goal difference, im not taking it. Wenger feasted on FA Cups, I think he won 3 in 4 seasons - but the bread and butter in the league was the same - poor showings and no chance of competing for the league.

Arsenal and Liverpool are both in the CL next season, and have a platform to compete for the title. United have neither.

The aim for a manager, should be to build a quality team to compete at the big boys table - CL and competing for your domestic league. Managers who win cups to paper over the cracks of a dreadful league campaign that yields no CL qualification, and not a threat. Wenger was not a threat despite winning three FA Cups in 4 years.

This is why I find all the Arteta v Ten Hag debates amusing. And like I said, its people just trying to be cute.

I know. As I stated in my post, your guy did:

In the time Ten hag has been here hes won more than Klopp.

There's no debate. You're on an LFC forum. We smashed his clowns 7-0. None of us would have him.

And as a pleasant change, I agree with everything else that you posted.

Never heard either of them sing to be honest. I’ve heard a lot of screaming in pain, whinging and abusing referees from Arsenal players but never singing, given as they’ve not had the opportunity to sing at a trophy lift.

I don't think anyone was suggesting eth was better than arteta. Just pure bantz.

I will ask though, if there were managers top trumps would eth beat arteta in any category?

Fair point. I was thinking more of his attributes rather than achievements. Better buys/sells. Tactics, substitutions, man management, handling the press.
eth hasn't come across as good at any of those.

It is half in jest but if you look at his buys and talent he brought through for that side and then the way they played, it is a good legacy.

Hes a better domestic cup manager, their record in the domestic cups has been sensational. 2 fa cup finals and a league cup final. Especially when you think how bad they are.

In CL they finished 4th in one of the weakest groups. In the league they finished 8th, their lowest ever in the premier league, 29 points behind us, after finishing 13 points below us last season. Weve beaten them the last 3 times weve played them, they play awful football and most of their signings are shocking. By all metrics he should be sacked as they seem to be going backwards all the time. I just hope this cup win gives him another season. Massive papering over the cracks.

I think theyll sack him, but dont want to do it straight after winning a cup final which they probably never thought they had any chance of winning.

Ferguson's time apart. They have always been a cup team?
Again though, what has he bought to the table that has got them winning cups, specifically over Arteta.
Can't even really say an easy run this season as they had to beat us and City. Maybe you can be gracious and say games against them are usually a coin flip for us and they were at home. But still.  Though Coventry shouldn't have been a tough game I guess.
Maybe , if I allow a category on my top trumps for game raising t*at. Though , even that is quite a skill.

I think last season they got lucky with home draws against lower league teams all the way to the final.

This season the only thing you can say is that their season ended so early and they had all eggs in fa cup basket for months so they could put everything into it while Liverpool had the league and europe and city have been on the piss and were so complacent in the lead up to the game, and during it. Credit to them they won the cup, but while its better than nothing, for the big clubs it’s something to win while on the way to bigger things, thats not the case with united. Great moment and it goes in the record, but just like when we won it with Arteta and finished 8th, its not success unless its a springboard to a higher standard, which it was for Arteta, cant see ETH emulating him. Hes spent similar money and got worse.

Also yes, cup team/pub team. Hard to tell.

Dear Arsenal fans,

Losing the League to Abu Dhabi by a point or two within a short space of time WILL fuck with your head, heart and everything else in between.

Best is to step back a bit, label them for what they are (fucking cheats) and rest up until the new season.

Cheers

[Hestoic]

For all the money spent, Arteta has won less in 5 years, than Seven Hag in 2 years ...

I dislike Arteta but I don't think this is a worthwhile argument. He should have 2 PL titles.

So true. The best way to describe it for me was when I was letting my Arsenal work colleague (genuinely nice guy) have both barrels that they should have beaten City when they had the chance and stop treating the draw like some sort of moral victory / sign of progression. And like on here, I warned him that they were going to lose the league by those exact two points.

This went on for a few days until I realised I was being an over emotional cnut. I stopped talking to him about football altogether for a few weeks. Later when we touched upon the subject more calmly he mentioned that he understood. Liverpool fans are basically going through PTSD! Spot on.

We've all got PTSD. Liverpool fans overcoming theirs and Arsenal fans building up theirs.

Yep, that will all add to the PTSD. The "we could have won... If X player didn't betray us" moments. Oh what could have been. It will eat them up inside. 

Don't forget we managed to keep Klopp for 8 seasons. That in itself is a miracle. Arteta won't be sticking around once he's the top candidate to replace Pep (post the 115 charges magically disappearing obviously) when Pep decides to move on in 2 or 3 seasons. More PTSD.
