What a load of unreconstructed cobblers that was.
He's had over 12 months now and there is absolutely no sign of a personality, an ethos, a style, even.
Our results reflect the way we play: mediocre, mediocre, mediocre.
He won't get us relegated, I grant you, but then neither would Fat Sam, and his appointment would at least have been amusing. And cheap.
In short, I am unhappy with the current manager. There you have it.
Carry on.
Have you warmed to any of our players, Sir C? I find Lacazette a likeable sort and he looks great in the Club Suit. Guendouzi also appears to be developing into a good player. Only 20 years old too.Quote:

He was making a number of very silly faces yesterday that I felt were wholly incompatible with his role as Manager of Arsenal Football Club. Also, he still can't speak anything resembling English. And he looks rodenty.Quote:

I don't think the manager cam thing was the greatest idea ever tbh.Quote:

Only quibble I would have with yesterday was bringing on Henrik - seemed odd given we allowed him to leave today.Quote:

Well, I seem to be one of the few that actually rate Mikki so I had no issue with it, until I found out he was leaving :-|Quote:

I'm a fan too - would rather have kept him at least til January. Don't know how much these transfers are about trimming wages, but least it guarantees more time for Nelson and hopefully Saka in the CC and EuropaQuote:

First half of last season he created a lot - also created a lot of goals/chances in GermanyQuote:
