You’d need to reach Bunnell levels of stupidity to want him sacked.
Still baffled why VAR didn't bail the Polish fella out for the first goal. That was GBH compared to Trossard's goal that was disallowed earlier in the season.
He’s had a remarkable year, Wes. I don’t think any of us would have predicted 2nd following that Newcastle capitulation last season. There’s no shame in losing out to the oil cheats; it’s hardly been a level playing field.Quote:

Denying we capitulated is peak stupidity. You are like Ty, just as ugly... and wear Arsenal y-fronts covered in cumstains.
You wanted him sacked when he was just over a year into the job, Bunnell. And you were wrong. Then you said we would capitulate after we lost to City at home and we won our next 7 league games. Again you were wrong. Then we lost to them away and you said we had capitulated again, followed by us beating Chelsea and Newcastle away which few expected. Again you were wrong.Quote:

And no one said we were great, we're the 2nd best team in the league, we know this because the table tells us this. We're also 2nd best to the best team in Europe and we're the youngest team in the league which is an achievement and gives us reason to be optimistic for the future.
Meanwhile you sit around pulling your scrawny little cock every time we lose a game because you use it as an opportunity to come on here and tell everyone who right you were. Pathetic.
Loser mentality at this club since we moved to the Emirates. at least that late 2000's team gave it a go.Quote:

Also everyone will be pleased we are back in Europe. I am not, unless the club take it seriously this summer. I think this year had been mainly a bit of a fluke. Everyone can blame city's billions, we spend plenty ourselves and we lost it it was in our hands and we beat ourselves.
I'm still more pissed off about the EL exit than finishing 2nd to the oil cheatsQuote:

He just needed to add the flair then.Quote:

I'd be wrong if we kept winning and winning, and didn't drop 9 out of 12 points like we did and you ignore. And lose at home to Brighton in a trashing... Like we did and you ignore. Sad man it's you who is wrong.
The difference between you & me is you're happy with such trivial garbage that history won't remember (a good performance away at Newcastle... Oooh how great) and I'll only be happy when we are the great trophy winning Arsenal of old.
I like the football we are playing at the moment and with some refinements we could potentially be great. That's why I'm happy for Arteta to stay but stop acting like he's the second coming of Christ.
His management is very much team motivational, inspirational "let's play great football boys" and it's great when it works but he has absolutely zero Plan B. He isn't great at adapting the play when it's not working. He's got a lot to prove. Will you continue to be happy with zero trophies? It's been 3 years and we just BLOWN our chance at the BIG one. BLOWN IT AWAY. Man City are better than us, always have said that, but we shouldn't have CAPITULATED like we did. Destiny was in OUR hands not City's. We didn't even have the distraction of other cups 'cos we got knocked out of them all like soft a*se losers. So how long you gonna w*nk yourself off at a young team at the expense of trophies? I need to see trophies in the next couple of years or Arteta can go... but he can stay for now because this team can play decent football and with CL next year we can really strengthen so let's see where it goes.
I'm somewhere in the middle. I said he had to get top 4 this season and he's done that with a very young and relatively inexperienced side. Next year they should have the tools, knowledge and City getting at least a 20 point deduction, to win it.Quote:

This is typical delusional Bunnell - I have never said he was the second coming of Christ or even a great manager, nor have I said I will be happy with him if we don't win any trophies (you are aware he has won one already are you?).Quote:

That's it. I'm looking forward to next season.
BTW I think you'll find - and it's just an opinion, of course - that we may have lost the league because Saliba was injured. Which is a criticism of the team, of course. We just didn't have the depth to make up for his loss.
With you on all of thatQuote:
