How about 7 years ago when we lost 6-0? Were you not watching then?Quote:

Thirdly, you're pretty much the only halfwit, dough chinned spastic that tries to defend this appalling Arteta side. It's truly an appalling side with no glimpse of something better being built. Wenger got better performances with CHAMAKH in the side.
You strike me as someone who potentially was an ardent Wenger out type. I say that because there are quite a few delusional mugs who just can't seem to cope with the fact that we have gotten worse since Wenger has gone.
This Arteta side, Retard, is missing its two best CBs, its best DM and both of its strikers. And Saka looks seriously out of form. You may have noticed that COVID seems to be running through the team. I would suggest we give him more than two games to pass judgement. You may also have noticed that we are buying younger players, because we can’t afford the sorts of players that Uncle Roman’s money allows you to buy. Younger players need time to bed in and mature. More time than two games.Quote:

When we got pasted under Wenger the players seemed to quit a little bit more as each goal went in. At least under Arteta they seem to play hard for him, there are no Ozils and Ramseys strolling around oblivious to their defensive responsibilities.
Let’s see where we are at the end of the season.

Neither of the two managers who have followed him (especially this clown) were good enough, but much of where we are now must be laid at Wenger's door, and at the door of those who allowed him to stay because he was prepared to make excuses for the lack of investment and live on his past glories instead of recognising that he was yesterday's man.
I was Wenger out. I saw the trend and I didn't like it. However, I'll be damned if I just accept Arteta and Emery and their abysmal showings just because "at least it's not Wenger."Quote:

No doubt a downwards spiral was happening under Wenger, but it's been 3 seasons and 7 transfer windows since he's left. At some point we have to forget Wenger and realise we left with an absolute bunch of clowns in charge.
I mean it's completely remarkable. You're making excuses such as players missing and Covid as if last season we didn't ever play our full strength squad and get pasted. You are truly beyond delusional.Quote:

"But at least the players play hard for Arteta" Jeez, I absolutely can't with this brain dead fool.
The problem for Arteta is that the more outlandish his excuses get the faster he’ll need to get results post Manchester City ie
Playing Brentford first up in their new stadium
Covid even though all players are double vaccinated
Injuries even though Partey and Gabriel were injured pre season
And now this gem…
Priti Patel because Odegaard don’t have his visa.
:shrug:
I think most people accepted the first 3 games would be difficult but it’s the lack of preparation and total disorganisation on the pitch that’s annoying….
He’s on some very thin ice imo
We could be heading into the NLD with just one win :o
The last 24 games of last season we had top 4 form. But 2 games in to this season with Covid running through the team and almost half our first 11 missing you want to sack the manager.Quote:

I thought the 6-0 at Chelsea was worse. We had major injury problems at the Munichs place and at least we scored and looked threatening for much of the first half, as I recall.Quote:
