Arsene's gone, p. Arsene's failings are irrelevant. We're discussing Emery's failings.
Do you think our football is acceptable? Put it another way: is this what you want to see from an Arsenal team?

Apologies, no. I did get the Chelsea thing wrong. However, we were humiliated by them, won nothing and finished outside the CL places. None of which is a substantive improvement on Wenger's last few seasons, when we did actually win a few FA Cups if you remember.
So yes. The last few seasons under Wenger were substantively better than the era you people have ushered in by clamouring for his departure. Own it.
So our league places were going backwards, we had an ageing team.... we finished higher last season, got to a major final and have got rid of a lot of the deadwood AW seemed to inflict on us. That is why I'm very happy to give him to the end of this season.
We should have our first choice defence available in a week or so, who knows where we will be then.
You wanted him out within a few weeks of him turning up
Sky showed a comparison of Unai's first 44 games v Arsene's last 44. Quite similar, overall. Emery has a few more points and better record against top six but has conceded more goals. Scored about the same.
We appear to have replaced the 'dead wood' with worse players, though. And we look even worse this season than we did last. And our league placing only declined over two years. The season before that we finished 2nd - plus 3 FA Cups in AW's last five seasons.
Face facts: there's no way Emery will ever get us near a record as good as AW could achieve even in his latter years.
