Exactly and it’s only in the British media (mainly London based) that didn’t take to him, I never understood it. Anyone coming into a club (Arsenal) who have parted ways from a legendary manager will always find it a bit difficult to win everyone over. He’s at a club now that can really appreciate and embrace him


And this time next year he'll be poached.


I hope not!


I don't think he will leave if we are pushing for Top 4/6 or already in Europe. I think he will look at the reward if he is able to take us back to competing for the title.

He has the ability to shape the squad with his players this coming offseason and I think we can only get stronger for next season with another 4-5 players in, who are legitimate First team players. And depending on who they bring in, I think Bailey will likely be gone

It's good to see you have hope, but you are not going to be pushing top 4 and the likelihood of European football is still low, there are a lot of decent teams in the prem that have an outside chance of toppling one of the big 7. Money talks.

Don't think Arsenal fans will be laughing at Spurs fans for much longer if this continues. I thought they were trying to help Leicester go bottom of the league.

I still can't believe they kept Stellini as interim. I would have preferred Ryan Mason to this.

Absolute bunch of twats at this club, from the board to the players.

Very compelling game between United and Brighton in the FA Cup semis. 0-0 in extra time but a very even and tightly fought contest. Mitoma vs. Wan Bissaka has been a great duel on that flank.

One of the weirdest teams this season. Fantastic results some weeks and terrible results other weeks. Still European place though.

I'm shocked we won kicks. Not surprised De Gea didn't make a save.

I feel for you, but hope you are correct with your prediction on not winning a game. I'll happily take a victory on 14 May

It's good to see you have hope, but you are not going to be pushing top 4 and the likelihood of European football is still low, there are a lot of decent teams in the prem that have an outside chance of toppling one of the big 7. Money talks.


Whilst our owners have not splashed huge amounts of money, they are putting money into long term projects for the club (Training ground/Stadium upgrade/Youth players) and they are 5th on combined net worth amongst EPL owners.

I think they will spend more this summer than they have before (not Man City/Chelsea money), and with the addition of 4 or so starters, who knows. Co-Owner Wes Edens is an owner for the Milwaukee Bucks and has definitely spent money there when required

Daniel Levy, or whoever is in charge of these kinds of footballing decisions, needs to go as well. It's not that I particularly rate Mason as a coach at all, it's just anyone could see that all remnants of Conte's remaining staff needed to be purged for a fresh slate.

What a clownshow. It's like we're trying to outdo Chelsea for incompetence.

Big summer coming up for the club.
