They're in a bit more danger than people think they are.

This is years of mismanagement, it will take time to fix it and the Premier League waits for no club. They are burdened with some of the most insane contracts the league has ever seen, Willian is on hundreds of thousands a week and is ****e, Ozil is on the same and is currently playing with the kids.

They have players that I personally wouldn't want anywhere near our bench, let alone in our 11, their captain is as **** midtable as they come.

A new manager can't come in and sign players, they need to sell them all - at a profit and that's not going to happen.

I think they're midtable now, not relegation fodder, but nowhere near being a top club anymore.

btw - using my fortune teller abilities, I'm going to make the prediction that before Rafa is sacked as Arsenal manager, he will be pelted with abuse from every single Arsenal fan with a following, screamed at when getting of the team bus and treated like a piece of ****. T

They're horrible ****s the Arsenal fans when they want to be, not all, but a large portion.

Dya think Rafa would go there btw?

Mans a self admitted control freak, loves to be in charge of the club.

I dunno, think he'd hate it there to be honest. The rate in which yes men are hired by the top clubs is increasing, like how big corporations hire managers who like to tow the party line and just run the place as they are expected.

Im not sure he’d go there to be honest. He’d be on a hiding to nothing as expectation will be sky high.
 
Arsenal fans are no different to us t

Rafa has the balls to go there... He doesn't get any credit for taking the job at Newcastle and staying to prove he can operate at the bottom of the table too... He stayed when he could've jumped ship and proved he can be successful in he championship also..

I don't think arsenal will go for him though because stavelys told him he's coming to Newcastle
 
They'd absolutely hate Rafa there, first cos of the Chelsea history, second cos they want stylish attacking football and they ain't gonna get that with Rafa.

So not Rafa, but still I'd be amazed if Arteta is still in charge in the middle of January.

I think he'll take the job.

I just think they'll hate him fast and it will turn extremely toxic. Rafa can survive when the fans are behind him, but he often puts up his shell when the stands get angsty.

Real Madrid, Chelsea and Napoli for examples.

Their circumstances are so bad they might well go fur rafa imo
 
Even Alan Pardew said that despite all the **** going on at the club, when he was pottering around Newcastle the fans were perfectly amicable, he never felt it was a nasty environment. I remember him saying that in an interview not too long ago

Sure we can be stubborn impatient ****s, but what happens in football stays there for the most part.

****ing Wenger was pelted with insults everywhere he went, he doesn't even go to the stadium anymore.
 
I think you're underestimating the toxicity of the Arsenal fans mate, they're horrific.


I think they'd take him right now I've heard some saying so. I think Arsenal fans are just seeing their club go backwards much like Newcastle fans have and are piping up because of it... Newcastle fans her the same levelled at them, but in reality they've got reason to be displeased.

They ****ed up chasing wenger out and funnily enough Newcastle fans paid the sane price for chasing Robson out.

Yes, much as I hate him the True Geordie said as much on his podcast years ago when Wenger was first chased out.

You chase out a manager who is top class, elder statesman of the game because you think he's past it and the next inexperienced fella has nothing to build on, nothing revolutionary to add. It's gonna be a trainwreck.

Newcastle tho still take the cake, dumping Robson, ****ting themselves and hiring Graeme Souness. It's one of the most laughably idiotic decisions a football club has ever made in the top flight.

Agree mate and newcastle fans try to just deny it didn't happen.. It wasn't everyone like Bruce for example, but it was happening and by a large amount of them...

They approached him a year ago when Emery was sacked. As he had only just started the project in Dalian, he turned it down. There's a live video of it, I think it was Sky sports when he was asked to be their analytic expert that night. He also spoke about what he would do to improve Arsenal.

As I said a few weeks ago, they spoke to his reps again, but the sticking point is his buy out fee. Rafa is interested, but it depends on whether they can lower the fee. With Tuchel becoming available, he is now a genuine candidate due to him being a free agent and that's what it boils down to, the fee. If Rafa was a free agent, he would be in a top job right now.
