Anyone but Arteta. Imagine him sitting on a list of title winning managers.
What do you expect from someone who turns his back on national duty but you just know there will be a time in the future he'll want to play.
Pool have Spurs at home though and Arsenal have fixture congestion before the Spurs match whereas Spurs have a solid break before that game.
Spurs take the 3 points and they qualify for Europe, whilst stopping Arsenal from winning the title? Ange will go down as a Spurs fans’ favourite forever.
What's the issue with Arteta? Aside from that he manages Arsenal? He's not a poor manager by any stretch, may whinge, sure - as do most other managers - but it's not like he is on the level of someone like Nuno, Sean Dyche etc.
I only saw it this morning.
Carries on like a psycho on the sidelines, over the top with fourth officials, sore loser, sulky. I didn't rate him as a manager early on and think he was lucky not to get sacked but I was definitely wrong on that front, he's done very well and unlike last season the team appears to be more dominant in their performances.
I mean the 2 Arsenal match threads I was in all agreed that while we love Benjamin White shithousery this one a shit look and shouldn't have done it, but begs the question why is Estupinan swinging his arm and his hand that close to Whites face?
So you've gone the 'shouldn't have been near him' and 'all teams do it' arguments. It was the worse example of cheating seen for a while and players argue/push and shove all the time. Someone being near you doesn't excuse blatant cheating.I mean the 2 Arsenal match threads I was in all agreed that while we love Benjamin White shithousery this one a s**t look and shouldn't have done it, but begs the question why is Estupinan swinging his arm and his hand that close to Whites face?
People acting as if White is the first player to do something like this asking for mass bans and fines
Players get into push and shoves and then go down all the time. And we have seen worse dives that result in penalties that result in goals.
Weird, bias because I said a player shouldn't have done it?
A step below a top manager and managing a squad that is inferior to its competitors. Worse midfield that City. Worse attack than both Liverpool and City.
Quite a lot of whataboutery.Players get into push and shoves and then go down all the time. And we have seen worse dives that result in penalties that result in goals.
Biased?

And you think THIS is the worst we have seen in a while? How far back do we go? Grealish V West Ham in 2021 where he felt no contact and went down holding the opposite knee? Sterlings dives? Salahs dives? I mean we all s**t on Bruno but lets not act like every club doesn't have players who exaggerate contact.
Weird how when Jota dived to get the penalty V Newcastle the reply from Scouse fans was "you have to exaggerate the contact because the officials never see it"
Oh yeah agree with everything you’ve said. We are not the favourites at this stage despite our form.
I mean at the end of the day all it takes is a form drop or a key injury to any of the big names at Pool/City/Arse and your season is ****ed, the margins are so fine right now.
Yeah i can't quite follow his logic either
I mean Liverpool are playing without Allison and Konate, city are without Ederson Walker and Stones.
I think their defence is well above the rest and with Rice in front they win by conceding less than others.
Yeah of course. Last year we had a few too many injuries that cost us but having a clean bill of health especially with CL too, will give us a good chance. The fixture congestion and the difficulty of the fixtures too will potentially be our undoing.
Think you guys are so good defensively you could probably handle no Odegaard and Jorginho for a few games if the back spine stays fit. You guys are so strong you could probably west ham 3 games in a row from set pieces 1-0
If Arsenal lost Saliba or Saka, City lost Foden or Haaland, or Pool lost Salah or MacAllister those teams are ****ed.
