Welcome Micky Arteta. I hope that they will pull the trigger at last and announce it on Monday/Tuesday. I think everybody are tired of this shambles by now.

Ramsey Out.
Darren talk s**t not reliable at all about transfers**** like this really pisses me off. We stood by Ramsey through thick and thin, and he potentially might shaft us by running down his contract. Why can't he just sign an extension on improved terms and we sell him getting us the maximum fee possible? He owes us that much at least.
To be fair he renewed before on the same terms which was honorable.**** like this really pisses me off.

Give that one away at Christmas & get a Great Dane called Vieira.Feels like my dog has died.
Think I'll get a puppy and call it Arteta.

Have a feeling, that we will have the best defensive record in the league next season. Can't wait.
People need to chill out. We've essentially hit rock bottom this season, the only way is up. Even if this new manager doesn't work out at least it shows the board is trying to be proactive and making positive changes to prevent the club from becoming stale.

I agree with your sentiment, mate. I just worry that there wasn't a ****ing peep for years and then the moment some empty seats started showing up, Wenger is gone.
I believe the decision was money motivated, rather than motivated by success.
That one year surely got him some experience, especially in things we who are not working in the football world underestimate, like administrative things for example (I am not talking about club administration, but any manager is surely involved in administrative ongoings concerning his team).
It's like in any other field of work; the higher you rise the more tasks and responsibility your are given, the more focused and aware you have to be as well as working more comprehensive. The lower your joblevel the more you can concentrate on your prime tasks, e.g. in this context coaching your team.
Now I don't think that one year at Barca B made him into the coach he is or transformed his philosophy. But it gave a) him the chance to see if it works and actually "experiment on a living thing", a team; and b) it gave Barcelona the chance to see what he was about, if he had what it takes, etc.
So that year surely didn't make "Guardiola the manager", but it rather gave Barca the chance to assess him.
And that's my main gripe with Arteta. The assessment centre, the test run, which Barca B was for Guardiola, would be Arsenal for Arteta.
I'm not saying I don't want him 'cause he's bad, I don't know that - I can't. But I, and in my opinion no one, can either know if he's actually any good. And I don't want Arsenal to be the test run to see if Mikel Arteta is a good manager or not. That just doesn't run well with me when there's lots of other options of various profile out there.
