Is the Arteta out campaign in full swing then?
Hopefully Utd can turn them over next week and they'll get the banners and signs ready.

Listening to them talk about Woolwich on SSN. They are so pro Arteta. Why?
I think its because of his association with Guardiola and his pretentious modern football.

And thats why ferguson was not the greatest ever coach. They had all the PL refs in their pockets. In europe Manutd failed more often than not with Ferguson. Even the one they won against Bayern in the last minute was all flukey.
Tune to 1:47:30.
You’re welcome.
The guy in the full training kit really looks like he was part of the staff that just got fired
They've already started the campaigning

Its a really weird season...
I think there a couple of things that are factoring into why we are ****e currently...
Mainly is that we are completely transparent in our tactics, pass out from the back and then hit it to the left side and try to find Auba. If that doesn't work long ball over the top from defence to try and find auba.
That's it, we have no other plan B.
If there is a risk we lose the ball in that buildup, we pass it back and start again. But it means if Auba is man marked there is nothing we can do except pass it around the back.
We are so incredibly linear it makes us easy to beat.
I am starting to wonder if the meta has changed again, bit like when Tika Taka was en-vogue and teams were decimating with it, then coaches like Mourinho learned to park the bus to beat it.
You then had Klopps Gegenpress, and quick Counters, and Peps building from the back. They are now being found out and teams know how to counter it.
We are trying high press, and building from the back and we are not really good at either, nor do we have the players to pull it off. So we are just getting slapped.
Leicester showed yesterday they can just let us have the ball, pass it around pointlessly and we wont create anything as they can force Auba out of the game. We should be then running at them and trying to beat the man. But we don't. Then all it takes is for one of our players to be out of position and its all over.
I just don't get how we have gone from having the most lethal attack and no ****ing defence. So now having zero attack, and a defence that is marginally better.
Last 10mins last night was painful, as Mustafi was just kicking crap long balls and gifting it back to the team. Which Nketiah was drawing fouls by trying to run around a bunch and win the ball back, similar to when he got his Red. Love the enthusiasm, but that aint helping.

It would be amazing if they do not qualify for Europe this year. Their owner has been reluctant to spend and must have been convinced by Arteta or someone else that dropping a huge lump sum to get in Partey would be THE difference. It was a roll of the dice and if they don't get European football then it could mean they are very reluctant to spend even at those levels going forward.
Won’t be getting the job because he’s black.
Nothing whatsoever to do with him being a talentless and feckless lunatic.
I can’t wait until we play them

They’re an absolute mess financially, a really bad season on the pitch would fuck these shit bags almost irreversibly
