I think we've been enlightened by Pep's comments. I don't think he'd leave and I think that most City fans would doubt his commitment, so I think the majority of City fans wouldn't want him as 1st choice, for sure.
Looks like you're stuck with him - which isn't a bad thing for you. Best manager you've had since peak Wenger. Let's see how long it lasts.
I'll settle for Vinny K returning come the fateful day we waive Pep goodbye.
Agreed.
Arteta will, at some point, want to prove his credentials at a level that deals with world class players. Not gonna happen at the Arse.
He'll, constantly, get the smaller budgets to work with or not get the targets he wants and it'll piss him off.
The Arse won't change.
Completely forgot he'd won the fa Cup. I'm not sure he needs to win stuff to keep his stock high though. Just needs to keep improving the team.He has already won the FA Cup. And if he doesn't win anything in the next three years. He would have fallen short of expectations and his current high stock will dwindle.
Forgot about the fa Cup.He's already won two?
As i explained yes it would be big only if you lost. That is how it works when you are the home team in a 4th round FA cup tie and defending champs. Arsenal fans didn’t create that extra burden on home team and defending champs it’s football that is how it works home team has more pressure to win. Even if we won it would have no actual direct impact on league. I would take a point in league if we guys play you on road, but at home i want to beat you different expectations based on who the home team is? See no hypocrisy it’s called logicI’m sure it would have been some big statement match had you won.
We made a similar mistake a few years ago thinking defeats by Chelsea wouldn’t matter and come the big one, we’d be fine. Your speaking like there’s no chance Arsenal could have an off day and lose totally forgetting what this city team have done over the last few yearsYeah but my question was did you think United were hanging on to a fortuitous point by the skin of their teeth? I frankly was surprised the match stayed even till 90th minute. The point being that we will play better at Emirates and this FA cup tie doesn’t really do much other than give you guys a place in next round. It isn’t some big statement match. If i was Arteta I wouldn’t of played Partey, Ode, or Saka. Saka for some bizarre reason played against Oxford in previous round has not had a blow after a very active WC, i think it is a mistake
It isnt mate. The guy it came from is part of the management team. I know who but cant name names for obvious reasons. Im not doubting Fodens ability and loyalty. Its not about that.Utter tosh
It was nothing to do with his playing time.Whether Phil is involved,its quite clear that there is some disharmony behind the scenes.
I have no info.....but if i was a betting man,i'd say there are half a dozen not happy with their playing time and/or the position/system they are being asked to perform.
What issue?
Agreed.

I am not actually doing that. I factor in bad days when i look at fixtures other than you guys we have had most of our toughest fixtures. Here is the thing i think you guys will drop points to. I think if both sides play close to full potential City wins. But while Arsenal seems to be in sync i don’t get that sense when i watch this years City in comparison to other versions of your teams. I got say it you guys look tired and complacent, i could be wrong it could be early season rut; not expert on your team one reason i joined here to get insight on you guys from your fansWe

He's not wrong, is he...?
Smaller budgets? Have you seen what arsenal have spent on transfers v us over the last few years?Agreed.

Was there an orchestra in the background when Pep gave that interview?
Gundog said we had lost our hunger, so you may not be too far off.I am not actually doing that.

Everything changes…
Absolutely the more you win the deeper you go in competitions the more it takes a toll and there needs to be a reset at some point. After a number of titles a certain group can get tired and need new blood. People seem to think just because a team has got more talent, or more money they always win. That isn’t how football works, eventually no matter how great teams are they can’t win everything every yearGundog said we had lost our hunger, so you may not be too far off.
I think we should have a major change of personnel in the summer, but there is no sign of that yet. Look forward should be the watchword.
All great teams decline eventually and the club must take courage and act.
£150m bid for Bellingham would be a good start.
Lol do you think Murdyk and Enzo are worth 230 million. Boehly doesn’t understand transfer system. He has never had to sell a 100 million pound bust he is paying 400k to, do not worry it is coming. They are headed for disaster, Stan has way more money than Boehly. Because Chelsea is being stupid does not mean other big clubs will follow. The debt he is saddling their club with is astronomicalIf the Chelsea owner suddenly decided he backed the wrong horse and came to you guys, sure.
But the Arse ain't gonna compete with Boely's deep pockets, 'bruh'.
No. Fucking. Way...
Agreed, they have people connected with very deep pockets and global connections...Emirates connection for oneEverything changes…
