No doubt we are in a dark hole right at the moment, but I don't see what sacking him achieves. It just brings more instability, ditching a project that we've been trying to get going and throwing the club into more disarray. Any manager coming in will just face the same set of problems, which is a badly unbalanced squad, full of show ponies and deadwood on stupid wages.

We'll release a load of players this summer and free up some of those wages (Ozil being the prime example) I think Arteta needs time to shape this squad how he wants it, which means a least another couple of transfer windows. But, he may not have the luxury of being afforded the time to do this because we are in a hole

All of the things you point out are taking us on a headlong trajectory to a relegation battle. So he needs to start grinding out results whichever way he can and start getting some points on the board. Realistically I think he's got a couple of months to start turning it around, and by that I mean taking us away from the relegation zone. If he can do that, then the club will give him time. If we're still hovering around the drop zone come the end of Feb/March then they might have to pull the trigger.

you were saying this before arteta started handing out monster contracts to the likes of luiz, willian and aubamayang
 
geez, hate them sort of reds. I did that in a friendly 7 a side (you go to play the ball and and naturally as you stretch your foot is a little higher) and i'm the cleanest player on the pitch normally.

Not a red for me.

Arsenal should break their back to get Nuno Esperito Santo from Wolves (I know he’s got the better side now but prestige still counts for something) and **** the greasy loser Arteta off ASAP.

They’d never attract somebody like Allegri, so forget about the top managers like him.

Arteta is going nowhere, no matter how much time he gets, because he looks pathetic, he looks weak, and he’s deluded... just like Ole.

He was my choice after Wenger left.

It would still take him a while to sort this mess out. But if Arteta isn't arresting this decline in the next couple of months, then he'd be a great shout for the club to go out to try and get. Whether he'd come is another matter altogether though.

Not sure who'd willingly take on this **** show at the moment.

What happened to the FA's diving panel? So many blatant dives getting rewarded by VAR, contact doesn't necessarily impede play and it's not hard to spot who is trying to buy a penalty/red card. Salah would probably be on a ban if they followed their rules correctly giving retroactive yellows for simulation. Trying to get someone sent off should also be a red imo, if I were the ref in that Pepe incident last week I would've sent both ****s off, one for violent conduct the other for simulating he'd suffered a head injury.

No one will do anything though, not unless it looks like it could cost the FA some £££, if I were a ST holder for a club that had gone down after a season with numerous incorrect VAR decisions, I'd consider trying to get my fellow ST holders to start a class action suit against the FA for failing in their duty.
