  3. How well do you think you'll do?

    Do you see an immediate return to the top 4?

    Or do you think it more likely that you'll be scrabbling around chasing Everton and Burnley for Europe League spots for the next decade, mate?

  4. He plays more like Dwayne Dibley.

    Anyway, respect to Man Utd for that warm tribute to Wenger before the game. <applause> They didn't need to do that and it was testament to the battles Wenger has had with Utd down the years which has produced some of the most exciting moments in the premier league

    It was classy that, the last of the breed those two.

    You’ll never see another top flight manager in this country having over 20 years in the hot seat.

  8. Hm.

    Not so sure about that, mate.

    Sure, there were some moments, but that was mainly due to the needle that existed between Viera and Keane.

    That was ages ago, though.

  9. Mid table, yeah?

    Personally, I think you'll do better than that.

    You need to have a little more faith in your club, Pix.

    Not wumming, just saying.

    Yep, the two greatest Premier League managers. And some absolute belters between the two teams down the years. Like you say, we won't see another manager going two decades at the same club again. And it's the end of an era at Arsenal, both for Wenger and his style of management. I think the next man to come in will be more of a coach, with the other aspects of the club left to others to run.

    Moments of both teams pipping the other to the league title. I can understand why you wouldn't understand what that feels like though :)

    You’ll probably go through 2 or 3 managers in a short period of time, similar to what’s happened at United.

    It depends on who we appoint. I don't see the club taking a huge gamble on somebody like Rodgers, Howe, Vieira etc. I think they will want to appoint somebody for the long term and give them the time to reshape the club. The smart money atm is on Enrique or Allegri.

    Enrique picked Peps side for 3 years, I’m not convinced

    Allegri would be a much better choice imo.

    Yep, I'd much rather we got Allegri. Proper tactician that one, he'd probably get another 30% out of the existing squad without adding to it.

  16. When was the last time that happened, Pix?
