Just listened to Arteta talking bollox as usual.
If the game had a manager like Bielsa at every level then football wouldn't be quite the joke it is today.
23 Sep 2024 08:21:54
Arteta is one of the most unlikeable Managers in the game.
23 Sep 2024 10:18:38
Arteta comes across as extremely firecely competitive willing to do ANYTHING to win. I admire his desire
Arsenal fans lurve him. most opposing fans dislike him . he should not be and likely isn't at all bothered by what others think.
Tell yer what though I wish Leeds had Arsenals brilliant effectiveness and desire on set plays and corners .
23 Sep 2024 11:19:05
He's a quality manager, though.
23 Sep 2024 11:49:33
He’s another Marmite job. You love him or hate him. We’d all love him if he was ours tho.
23 Sep 2024 11:55:58
Dill
It's never happening but I would lurve Arteta as Leeds manager ( in the future)
23 Sep 2024 12:24:54
Bang on, Brighty. And of course, Baz.
23 Sep 2024 13:07:48
Agree on the set piece and corners Baz, but he does have better players than ours to execute them.
23 Sep 2024 14:52:17
Yes agreed LUFCfeath the Gunners ofc have better players technically to execute them
BUT its their DESIRE and BELIEF first and foremost that impresses ;
a desire that simply does not exist within our players . but should.

I am not a big fan of his "spoiling" and all his dark arts etc. All were on show last night with bells on; he is however a good manager / coach and he really has made Arsenal a good side. You genuinely can see them progressing each season.
I really prefer Arteta to Pep though; how Pep wasn't red carded for his "attack" on the chair is beyond me. What an example to kids. not.
Got me thinking, my distain for most of the teams I don't like, is largely born out of who is managing them at any given time. For now, I really don't like Everton [and that's beyond SD], Southampton [Really cocky manager]. Presently finding myself routing for Spurs, Villa and Forest!

Arteta just leaves me cold and I know twitter is like a sewer for spreading excrement and you have to take most of it with a pinch of salt but even so there does seem to be a lot of rumours of him being named on the Epstein Island list of well known individuals allegedly getting up to unspeakable acts and effectively selling their soul to get to the top. I hope for his sake it isn't true.
{Ed001's Note - the rumours don't seem to be true. I checked it out when someone said about it, his name is not on the real list, just on one put out on something like reddit. I am not sure whether it was an attempt at a joke or what, but it had a few odd people on the list, none of whom seem to have been involved or at least were not on the actual genuine list.}

Just realised I do the very same thing Ani, probably why I want us to thrash the blunts more than any other team in the Championship this season, well of course I want us to beat everyone, but think Mark Robbins for instance has done an amazing job with Coventry he always punches well above and nearly always has to sell his best players at the end of every season.
24 Sep 2024 00:38:36
Whilst Mark Robins impresses . blooming dislike Coventry .
Leeds gratifyingly have a very good H2H record against Coventry . yay
but still its the 1987 FACup semi final when 2nd division Leeds were underdogs agaist 1st division Coventry
and Leeds should have been 4 nil up after 20 mins that still lingers in the Baz vault of grudges ??
We need to thrash them on Saturday!
24 Sep 2024 08:06:36
I feel much the same Baz…I hated the 1981 replay defeat as well, to the point I made special mention in my diary at the time. We still had a few left over from the best era in that team…Gray, Cherry etc
I hope you’re right about Saturday, bearing in mind our recent record against them is not great, even at home.
24 Sep 2024 15:07:52
Good post Ani.
24 Sep 2024 15:14:13
there's a Baz Vault of Grudges?
Noooooooooo!
You wouldn't think it from your posts.
24 Sep 2024 16:35:37
Yes indeedy Cuppa
And you be number 2456 in da vault ?.
24 Sep 2024 19:36:46
Sorry guys I’ve tried to bate baz into having a bet with me saying loser leaves the site for good but sadly good old bazzza bottled it.
24 Sep 2024 22:08:36
