“Imagine one selected day struck out of your life and think how different its course would’ve been. Think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you but for the formation of the first link on that memorable day.”
- Charles Dickens

Lord I see what you’re doing for others.🙏

If they can sort it out and get back to winning games, why not? The gap is not so wide that they can’t have a say in it. They just have to lock in and believe. The sooner they do that, the better. I don’t believe titles are won in October and I would genuinely love an actual race. Let’s go!

Best league in the world.

They always take the bait.
We’ll see what happens at the end of the season. There will be twists and turns and WE WILL BE THERE!😁

You can disagree and make your point without making a false diagnosis of someone having a mental illness or implying it. It’s a debate and a conversation. I try to maintain respect even if I disagree with people’s opinions. I agree to disagree. This conversation ended for me.

You’re looking at them in the premier league without acknowledging the clubs they managed. Benfica is not better than Newcastle so he’s working with what he has. Mik has all the tools but keeps bottling it. If I have a great tool but don’t know how to get the best out of it, what does that make me?

Brighton have a very good record against him. So does West Ham, United and City. Remember the 5-0 slapping at the Etihad in 22/23 bottle job season where they closed the gap and mopped the floor with us?🤣
I don’t hate Arteta. I think he’s put in conversations he doesn’t belong in.

Sally, When The Wine Runs Out @skybornepegasus.bsky.social · 19h

You can go and watch both legs of the game and compare it to ours when we played that PSG team.
The fact that he did that with Sevilla and Villa Real makes it is even more impressive. Can’t wait for us to play Villa this season. He’s going to get something out of that game AGAIN!

Sally, When The Wine Runs Out @skybornepegasus.bsky.social · 19h

I don’t get this looking down on a competition that we’ve never won thing. Genuinely. He had one season. How many European finals has Arteta gotten us to? You do realise that Emery took Villa from relegation fodder to Champions League 1/4 finals. He would’ve gone further if he didn’t have a crisis.

Now let me tell you managers in world football who are above Arteta.
Luis Enrique, Pep, Emery, Conte, Mourinho, Kompany, Inzaghi, Ranieri, Ancelotti, Iraola, Glasner, Alonso. I can go on. He is a transition manager.

Sally, When The Wine Runs Out @skybornepegasus.bsky.social · 19h

This points thing is something that Arteta has tried to make relevant but it isn’t. If points were relevant then Man City 100 points season is better than Arsenal Invincible season. You see where this is going?
I don’t think he is better than Simeone or Ancelotti. Arteta is not even top 20 manager.

Sally, When The Wine Runs Out @skybornepegasus.bsky.social · 19h

He’s not won anything in England but I believe he will. I think he would’ve won that FA cup and more if he wasn’t sacked. However, he has won many things in Europe.

Madueke is someone who has also done that this season. So if a winger is running up and down the wing for a full 90 but doesn’t register a G/A, they’re getting an average rating. If a number 9 is not shooting, same. At least hit the post, do something and be instinctual. Hence 14 getting 4/10.

Sally, When The Wine Runs Out @skybornepegasus.bsky.social · 19h

I still don’t see him as man of the match because his performance was not as good as Timber’s.
In most of our games, I highly rate these 3 players: Rice, Timber, Gabriel because they go above and beyond. They have the most consistent work rate. Almost always a guaranteed 8/10 or 9/10.

Sally, When The Wine Runs Out @skybornepegasus.bsky.social · 19h

did their primary assignment. That’s why Timber is my Man of the match. Not only was he solid defensively, he was excellent going forward and he didn’t get bullied.
Saliba is a senior player in that back line but he was off it. Mosquera is new but did well. Eze scored the winner but

I hear it. Your appraisal of the performances is slightly different to mine in the sense that working hard and running around is weighted more. For me, everyone has to run because it’s not golf. That’s the bare minimum. For each position, I look at the primary function of the player and see if they

I give him credit for a lot of other things. I don’t subscribe to the whole “he is the one and only” “best thing ever to happen to arsenal” “omg we are so lucky to have him” “he has taken us so far”. We weren’t relegated and he got us promoted. Still 1 FA cup by the way. In 6 years 😂

Sally, When The Wine Runs Out @skybornepegasus.bsky.social · 19h

What I’ll give him credit for is the improvement of these players: Gabriel, Raya, Partey and Rice. I also credit him for adapting this season because he has done things that I never thought he would do e.g Eze in the 10. MLS over Calafiori against Athletico Madrid. Ending that 41-23-36 midfield.

Sally, When The Wine Runs Out @skybornepegasus.bsky.social · 19h

What time and what players didn’t Emery get?
Of course the team will get better after 6 years. It’s not rocket science. It can’t rain forever. I think he is included in conversations he shouldn’t be in. There are at least 10 managers better than Arteta in the league.

If I’m crazy and you took the time to type this out to engage with my reply, what does that make you?
Try to make a point or disagree without insults. It’s very possible to do that.

That FA cup game we lost to United on penalties with Onana in goal. They were wearing the cursed white kit 😂
Ødegaard missed a penalty in the game, United we’re down to 10 men and we still couldn’t score. When I saw Havertz to take the penalty I knew he would miss!🤣
They can’t even hurt me anymore

You won’t answer the questions because you know the answers so instead you say this. 😂
Welcome to the world where people might not share the same opinions as yours. Mind the gap.

Keep othering folks who don’t see things as you do. There’s nothing special about what he’s doing at the moment. At the end of the day, the club’s bigger than him so one day his internship here will end. Congratulations in advance for finishing 2nd again. Keep believing he’s the second coming of Pep

Sally, When The Wine Runs Out @skybornepegasus.bsky.social · 21h

Also, I never said there is no growth in any area under Arteta. However, unlike you, I do not see him as a messiah and I’ll not put him in conversations he does not belong just because he’s manager of Arsenal football club and prior to that he sat next to Pep for 3 years.

Sally, When The Wine Runs Out @skybornepegasus.bsky.social · 21h

And who are you to tell fans to go support other clubs? Is it because you think you’re more of a fan than those who don’t see things the same way as you?
Classic Arsenal fan believing that we are favourites to win the title over City and Liverpool. Pundits say that to blast Mikel when he fails.
