Absolutely pathetic. Why the hell did we give Arteta a contract before the season even finished? This will be his 12th League loss of the season, after spending £250m in 2yrs. That would normally get an Arsenal manager the sack not a bloody new deal.

Those who listen to Jamie Carragher baffle me. I struggle to see a single reason he still has a job. Pep had every resource imaginable, with a club accused of the kind of cheating & systemic corruption that has never been seen in English football before. Like Jürgen Klopp, he lasted 10 years in the Premier League, he was done, he couldn't do it anymore. All that financial power & his 'advantages', the PL's too, the decline of European clubs, he won 1 Champions League from 10 tries. Meanwhile Sir Alex won two - despite the ban on English clubs, the strength of Europe the entire time he was in charge etc. He dominated England for three decades. He turned Manchester United into an gargantuan juggernaut, rebuilt on the fly & took down challenger. He couldn't buy whoever he wanted & replace players as he pleased either. He made it work with what he had. Oh, and I didn't even get into what he achieved in Scotland before he even arrived at Old Trafford, the likes of which Pep could never do because he needs every single tool to be perfect to succeed. So no, we don't 'insist' that Sir Alex is ahead.. he just is.
