Arteta has won 53% of his league games this season. That’s normally 3rd or 4th place pace. 
 

They’ve won 2 of their last 7 games and are 13 points behind 1st place. Manager of the year material in my opinion.

I know tons of Arsenal fans and 0% of them want Arteta gone.  The only people who want him gone are twitter trolls and click bait merchants.  I do listen to some AFTV, pretty much just Forever Arsenal (which Turkish is on and he doesn’t want Arteta fired, he just wants the club to spend money on attackers) and some of James B tactical stuff.   Charles Watts is by far the best YouTube channel for Arsenal.

I think the mood has turned quite a bit after PSV and RM results. Post Kookaburra Cup loss to Newcastle was pretty negative on Arteta. Agreed, that the main talking point is anger at not signing attackers in January. And coming into the season shorthanded in attack to begin with.

And neither are 80% of the fans on AFTV. They want him gone after next season if he doesn’t win big silverware.

yeah and those guys are the dumbest fucking assholes on the planet. 

at this point all i can do is wish all of arsenal’s injuries on liverpool for next season, and when y’all finish 10th, then we can talk.

it’s telling that the arsenal fans are openly impressed with the job that slot has done, while the liverpool fans are unimpressed with what arteta has done with a bunch of teenagers, fourth stringers, and guys aged 29 playing positions they’ve never played before. homerism and a lack of objectivity on display.

eddie howe is where he needs to be. i hope he doesn’t go looking for a “better” job anytime soon. he could be very successful at newcastle for a long time if he decides he wants to set up shop and not aspire to something better.

They have a very athletic team. That midfield is tough as nails. I don’t see any team being able to afford Isak which gives them a very formidable front line the next couple seasons. Good young talent on the backline with Botman coming back from injury. They need a goalie and a starting CB and could be a dark horse to win the league next season (if Isak stays fit).

this, big time. they’re an imposing matchup physically/athletically. they’ve obviously recruited to a certain style of player, and if they can spend their Isak money wisely (a la liverpool with coutinho) then they could be set up to succeed for years to come. i’d like to see that club be competitive for top 4-6 every year again.

I don’t think there is any Isak money because they aren’t selling him for less than £125mn (he has 3 years left on his contract). Under PSR no team can afford that.

i’d love to see him stay there, i’m just cynical about players of his talent staying at a club like newcastle. he’s exactly what arsenal needs, but that’s a total pipe dream. i hope he stays there, i just don’t see it.

They seem well on there way to CL; so I think he’ll stay. Winning the Carabao and seeing the crazy fan support had to help boatloads as well. Never heard him wanting out (like we did with Suarez at Liverpool).

that parade/celebration they had was awesome. i couldn’t believe it had been 70-something years since they had won a major trophy. you could see what it means to the community. i always like it better when newcastle is good.

Guilty. I enjoy watching a few of them. Turkish in particular.

Not a lot of drama this year.

By April, we knew the winner and the 3 teams relegated.

true. only thing left is the race for europe. villa, newscastle, and forest fighting off traditional powers in city and chelsea. liverpool, arsenal, ipswich, leicester, and Southampton are all set.

personally, i'll be watching because while i don't have any particular dislike for spurs or united, it would be pretty cool for everton to top them in the table.

Yeah, AFTV are clowns raging for clicks/views; they’re no more indicative of the Arsenal fanbase than the Cloak Room is of the UT fanbase.

There’s also a disappointment of “damn, 115 FC couldn’t have slipped up the past two years?!” The year they finally do we weren’t able to capitalize. Yes, we’ve had too many draws, but no one who isn’t solely out for clicks seriously wants Arteta out. Add some key pieces in the summer, hope for better injury luck, and go again next year.

Hat tip to you guys, though. IIRC no club has in the PL era has increased its point total four consecutive years, which is we would have to have pulled off and then some given y’all are likely to finish ~ 94 points. Hell of a season, and Salah just keeps getting better. The way you guys attack relentlessly is something I wish we did more of.

gabriel- out

havertz- out

jesus- out

calafiore- out

tomiyasu- out

saka- missed 3.5 months

ben white- missed 3+ months 

odegaard- missed 2+ months

nwaneri- missed 5 matches 

merino- missed 9 matches  

zinchenko- missed 1+ months 

tierney- not sure how he’s still alive 

 

arsenal: 2nd on the table, just demolished real madrid to make the champions league semifinals 

 

shaggy epl fans: “i’m not impressed by arteta’s performance, and arsenal doesn’t even have an injury crisis, our team won 50 matches in a row with a way worse injury crisis. arsenal and arteta are mid.”

If Spurs win the Europa league and get an auto bid to next years champions league, does that count as one of the EPLs 5 spots, or would it still be top 5 + Spurs?

Or ManU

 

ESPN has a breakdown. The TL;DR - if Either win Europa then it's 5+1.

What's wild is that England can in theory get up to 11 European teams (unlikely):

UCL - 1-5, Arsenal (win UCL & fall out of top 5), Spurs/ManU (Win Europa)
Europa - 6,7 + Chelsea winning Conf League
Conf League - 8
