The Emirates tonight has been everything Mikel Arteta has wanted from this crowd for years. He's spent his entire tenure trying to weaponise the fanbase and this was the high point of that mission. The bus welcome, the tifo, the noise, the energy. Properly hostile.
If you’re calling for Arteta to be sacked while we’re in second and ahead of the decisive leg of our Champions League semi final, hold that thought…
Now go stand in front of a mirror and repeat it. Then think about how stupid you look.
The entitlement is 🤯
Not only is it a stupid take but if you love the club as much as you claim to, why would you want to create division & a potentially more difficult environment for us to succeed in?
Nothing will (or should) happen re the manager now so it’s just noise for the sake of noise.
🔴 Inter Milan lost 3-0 tonight
🔴 PSG drew last night
🔴 Barcelona scraped a 1-0 win last night
If you thought the CL semi finalists were gonna go all out on this weeks domestic games then I don’t know what to tell you
Tonight was poor but it means absolutely nothing
#ARSCRY
Ødegaard out for 3 months.
Saka out for 3 months.
Jesus & Havertz out for the season.
Now Gabriel out for the season.
There is no manager in world football that thrives in that scenario.
If Arteta got sacked today, Real Madrid, Barca, PSG, even PL teams like Utd and Chelsea would be knocking on his door.
But sure, let’s listen to some YouTube morons who couldn’t kick a ball to save their life tell you that it’s #ArtetaOut and he’s not a good manager. Mental.
We’re not allowed to celebrate winning games.
We can’t mimic celebrations after being provoked.
We can’t post match comps or promos.
Jover can’t stand up during a corner without being insufferable.
We can’t announce contract extensions without it being cringe.
We’re massive.
So we had a rough week as a club. If you’ve followed the game for a while and shake off the entitlement, you’ll know that it happens. The fake outrage online and desperation to create a crisis people can profit from online is quite frankly embarrassing. Criticism is fine, abuse is not.
We’ve seen our top goalscorer this season scapegoated and abused by people who’d never have the b*llocks to say it to his face. Meanwhile being second in the league, in the CL & in a semi-final is being portrayed as a disaster of a season. Give your heads a wobble.
You’re not Arsenal supporters.
Arsenal’s last 11 games:
DWWWWDWDWWW
Goals Scored: 29
Goals Conceded: 8
If you’re angry or want Arteta out when we’re in this kind of run of results, you are most likely going to be miserable for the rest of your lives 👍🏼
