Don’t get too upbeat my friend !Were ahead of schedule in our development. We are still a very young team with more room for improvement. We will get better organically as Saka, Saliba, Martinelli, Odegaard, ect continue to level up, as well as future signings. However because we are ahead of schedule in the rebuild, some Arsenal fans still say things like 'happy with top 4', and thats great and all, but that cant be the mentality of the club and manager. And based on Arteta's behavior, it isnt.
Where will 'playing nice' get us? I fully support Arteta's antics as his behavior is indicative of a manager who not only doesn't likes to lose, but doesn't like to not win.
The fact Arteta is getting all this negative press is evidence he and Arsenal are being taken more seriously. I still remember the later Wenger years, where he lost his competitive edge - can you split Wengers tenure at Arsenal from 97-08 to 08-18, with the later years being an era were rival managers praised him but never took him seriously as a threat. In the early era he and Ferguson hated each other with a passion.
Arteta is building a new Arsenal. One that cant/wont be pushed over, an Arsenal that aims to fear no one, and for this reason Arteta is going to clash with rival managers a lot more.
I'm not sure you can rely on getting better organically. You do have a young, talented squad but development doesn't always go upwards.Were ahead of schedule in our development.

Tarquins about to pay around 85m for Mudryk, that will put them on a net spend of 525m over the past 5 years putting them in second place just 20m behind the Rags. City are 10th on 213m but we’ll be the ones who the media say we are ruining football, cunts.
We have won a lot of prize money and copped for the most TV revenue in that period, you’ve let players go for sure, 80m for that donkey Pepe and others who you have lost considerable money. The point is your spending nearly as much as the Rags but along with the Chavs and Dippers you won’t be criticised whereas all we hear about is how we outspend everyone even now and we are ruining the game. I bet you won’t get the same shit we get off the media, it’s a fucking joke.I don't really understand the Net Spend argument. Surely it's got to be taken in context overall with how the club is run? We made a £45m loss last season, most of which can be accounted by having no European football for the first time in 20 years or so. We cut the wage bill and let players go to allow us more wiggle room to spend a bit more.

There’s nothing wrong with spending money; net spend or gross.I don't really understand the Net Spend argument. Surely it's got to be taken in context overall with how the club is run?

Na, amongst others we get your boring old fart Alan Smith as cocom who always supports our opponents.Hopefully you get more ex players in the media to help with that then.
Their owners are not mozlems so no they are immune, Alan Davies has said nought bought dem yankees not needing to piss off to the Nevada desert or stick to playing with their kindWe have won a lot of prize money and copped for the most TV revenue in that period, you’ve let players go for sure, 80m for that donkey Pepe and others who you have lost considerable money.
