Arteta, ticks the boxes.
Young, driven and motivated. Was a great leader as a player. On record stating his attacking managerial philosophy. Been told he has an incredible footballing and coaching brain. Spent the last 2 years learning from Pep. Has a connection to the club.
✅
2002/03:
Pavel Nedved: 14 goals, 13 assists.
Thierry Henry: 32 goals, 28 assists.
Nedved wasn’t even the best player at Juventus meanwhile Henry was comfortably the best player in the world.
The Ballon d’Or literally means sweet fuck all. 😂👍🏼
Liverpool finished 8th in Klopp’s 1st season
United finished 6th in Mourinho’s 1st season
Tottenham finished 5th in Pochettino‘s 1st season
City finished 3rd, 15 points behind the leaders in Pep’s 1st season
Implementing new philosophies takes time.
Up The Arsenal. 🔴⚪️
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s G/A per year:
2011: 14 in 18 starts
2012: 25 in 28 starts
2013: 34 in 40 starts
2014: 24 in 31 starts
2015: 46 in 38 starts
2016: 38 in 37 starts
2017: 45 in 45 starts
2018: 34 in 35 starts
2019 so far: 1 in 1 start
Different clubs, same outcome.
Unpopular opinion: I still love Cesc Fábregas.
Can’t begrudge him for rejoining his boyhood club, also the best team in footballing history.
He was desperate to resign for Arsenal, but Wenger rejected him.
Gutting to see him sign for CFC, but what was he suppose to do, retire?
The realist tweet you’ll see today.
Directly contributing to 22 goals in the equivalent of 28 games in his first season in England in a team that finished in its lowest position in over 20 years.
What a player. Killa.
The idea that Alexandre Lacazette has flopped is hilarious. Was undergoing fitness conditioning so didnt finish games and got hit by injury - playing the equivalent to 28 games he got 17 goals 5 assists in our worst season under Wenger. Top class CF. 20+ goals this season easy.
Quite incredible just how well run & successful our academy has been in recent years.
Willock
Iwobi
Maitland-Niles
Nelson
Norton-Cuffy
Patino
Smith-Rowe
Saka
Nketiah
Balogun
Hutchinson
Nwaneri
Just to name a few..
Astonishing conveyor belt & pipeline of talent from Hale End.
30 points off the top.
13 points behind Spurs
Second straight year finishing outside the top 4.
14 years since a serious a sustained title challenge.
Couple of dead rubber wins against shite opposition and fans like you think everything is ok again.
You’re a parody.
Arsenal are not a football team. It's a theatre production. You pay £80 to go see a bit of comedy, tragedy and drama. Nothing about this club today says 'competitive football team'.
Lucas Torreira is unbelievable. He’s everywhere. His positional awareness is incredible. Constantly picking up interceptions. Bites in the challenges. First class distribution.
It better have been done..

Salah apparently just at doing gym work. Not even back on grass yet. If that’s the case, he is still at least 2 weeks away..
Jota is perfect for the next 3 fixtures.
Zinchenko was barely ever injured during his time at City. Now has already picked up 2 injuries in 5 weeks at Arsenal.
Partey missed 6 games in 5 years at Atletico. He has missed 32 in just 2 years at Arsenal.
I love Eddie Nketiah more than pretty much anyone, I think he is absolutely fantastic.
But this guy is a different beast.
What a impact he is going to provide upon his return.
This comeback is going to be so much greater than the setback. I am ready.
The World Cup is between 3 nations.
In order of quality; France, Spain, Brazil.
Both their starting 11’s and squad depth is insane and ahead of the rest.

Surely you’re not that deluded? You think Kane & Aubameyang are at incomparable levels?
Last 4 seasons:
Kane: 129 goals
Aubameyang: 131 goals
Different leagues or not, to laugh off comparisons with a player who literally has a better goal scoring record is fucking hilarious!
No English teenager has made more interceptions in Europe this season than Charlie Patino.
He also sits just one behind Jude Bellingham on goal involvements.
We have an absolute gem on our hands. 💎
Getting a big win away from home to either make a giant leap towards or actually win the Premier League is in the clubs DNA.
An opportunity for the players & manager to elevate & cement themselves as club legends.
If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. Let’s go.
How is this a dilemma?
- We are absolutely minted and don’t need to sell to raise funds.
- A good squad needs 3 strikers.
- The more homegrown, Hale End players we have in the squad, the better.
Keep him. Keep Eddie.
Going for 4 competitions next season.
Folarin Balogun has been a revelation in France this season, but every goal leaves Arsenal facing a bigger dilemma this summer. What do they do with the in-form striker?
