@CM_Maestro The issue is he’s competing against pep guardiola who has financial backing from a state.

It’s a shame that Arsenal fans don’t see the bigger picture with the issues Mikel Arteta brings to the club. All they see is temporary first place

@TheHandofRod It’s what happens when you over inflate revenue. City don’t have the global fan base they claim to be operating at. Maybe the sheikh should use the money they pump into the business to subsidise the same 60k fans who go to these matches!

Only talk about attendances when: ⚽️ Your club has been to Wembley +30 times in a 15 year period ⚽️ You had 28k average attendance in div 2 ⚽️ You took 2 billion to York away 😎👍⚽️

@DominicMcGregor The team with revenue on par or better than Madrid, Barca, Man Utd etc but can’t fill a stadium. Maybe the figures they announce every year pertaining to matchday and commercial revenue has been inflated? maybe city aren’t a worldwide football team like they make out to be?

They played their 3 weeks ago in the carabao cup final. They will play their again in 3 weeks in the FA cup final. It would cost over £1,000 for someone to attend all these games and get the train to and from London (if it’s running) There’s 2 options to address this. 1) Have the semi final in a neutral non London venue. 2) Invest in our countries infrastructure to bring reduce train tickets to people. Other countries get it - most have discounted tickets for nationals 🇩🇪 Germany — €63/month Deutschlandticket. 13 million subscribers. Just extended to 2030. 🇦🇹 Austria — €1,300/year for every train, tram and bus in the country. 🇭🇺 Hungary — €49/month nationwide. 90% off for students. We’ve made travelling to your own capital a luxury good. Those empty red seats aren’t a football problem. They’re a national productivity problem. Every empty seat is a Mancunian priced out of watching their own team in their own country’s cup final at their own national stadium.

@talkSPORT Ultimate choke with the second most injuries to deal with this season. The team with the most injuries is currently battling relegation for context!

😬 "Arsenal are not performing!" 😱 "They could actually lose the league on goal difference!" Tony Cascarino questions whether Arsenal fans could turn on Mikel Arteta if he fails to win the league!

@lxstlosty “Players ain’t good enough” but then says sack the manager who doesn’t sign all the players 😂

We had a generational Lee judges watchalong and none even realise lol

@TalkingBallTM Endrick

🚨 🔴⚪️ Considering Arsenal’s need for a physical No.9, the profile feels key this summer. As much as I really like Julián Álvarez + Junior Kroupi, they’re not quite what we need right now. So… who should Arsenal go for up top? 👇

@markgoldbridge Pretty disrespectful if in the so called best most competitive league in the world you’d expect Arsenal to smash Newcastle like they are a bottom half ligue 1 side.

Not out of character at all lol! I want Arsenal to win the league but if you think playing for 1-0 wins at home is a good tactic when City are going to pump teams. It ain't a nice feeling losing a title on goal difference. You have been Warned

@HoltChris Not enough worldwide fans to fill the stadium. Not all fans come from Manchester mate!

I say it all the time but I hate this. City’s fans are mostly working class from Manchester, they were at Wembley a few weeks ago, they’re there every year, they go deep into CL every year. There’s only so much anyone can afford. The issue here is FA Cup semi finals at Wembley

@NorthBankNadim That’s with Henry,Wiltord, Vieira, Pires, Ljunberg, Bergkamp, and Kanu

In 4 fewer games. But sure, Arteta out. Idiots.

@ThatsFootballTV @markgoldbridge Newcastle beat City 2-1 and lost 2-1 to City. Arsenal gained +2 goals against Newcastle after winning 2-1 and 1-0.

"This title's going to come down to goal difference, and you've WASTED 90 minutes winning 1-0!" 🤯 @markgoldbridge's brutal assessment of Mikel Arteta's approach this late into the season! #AFC

@procore72 @jamesallcott @G2Amenyah @JamesB_afc @DiffKnock Yeh so the fans need to step up and stop being entitled. He can’t come out in the media and say his team are physically depleted. If he did then the opposition will definitely know they can hurt Arsenal.

@Rayquelme21 @jamesallcott @G2Amenyah @JamesB_afc @DiffKnock this "cry for help" adds more pressure to the players and further rallies/galvanizes the opposition

“My biggest problem is I don’t connect with his message anymore” @G2Amenyah, @JamesB_afc and @DiffKnock discuss Mikel Arteta’s communication and messaging 🗣️

@masterplaymaker @1_2spaces Masterplaymaker and glockeres. Your knowledge on football is like Gyokeres first touch!

@1_2spaces “If the players were fit” - We have overall the squad with the highest floor in the league. A full squad of players good enough to beat these teams. Players would be more fit if Arteta knew how to rotate and trust players throughout a season.

Excuses lined up by Arteta stans for the next few weeks 1. Remember where we were when Arteta came 2. Pep can spend whatever; Guehi, Semenyo 3. If the players were fit 4. Financial doping, 115; we are organic club 5. Once we get superstar attackers, midfield depth, xyz

@AaronBSM You obviously don’t understand how natural/organic progression works. City is state owned and have cut corners so they could buy their trophies in a short space of time. Arsenal don’t have that luxury and have to become creative and get recruitment right in order to compete.

“All we need is a few more signings and clear some of the deadwood and we’ll be there” Arteta lovers - 2022/2023/2024/2025/2026. A lot of this fan base don’t actually want to win and will praise and fawn over mediocrity and disappointment year after year 😂

@TeeStride @SebMadeInChina Pep £2billion spent btw 😂

@SebMadeInChina With €1.1Billion? Yes. Pipe down, wake up, smell the coffee, and stop being a cuck for a failed gaffer at the expense of my football club, hoe.

He spent approximately €1.1Billion to do this. The worst manager to ever grace the game and its far from ever being close.

@TheArsenalFan1w Just shows that injuries and poor recruitment has let him down!

This stat is so, so, so bad What it shows is that nothing Arteta does actually leads to anything. He can pretend to be elite all he wants when the season is young - when it actually counts, he will never be that guy to deliver Any serious club sacks him. But this is Arsenal.

@LoweMeJack Arsenal can go 6 points clear by the time City play their next prem game!

We are now officially 2nd in the Premier League 11 days later

@Armzinnho So pep’s not a decent manager?

4 straight games without a win, and 1 win in 6. Any decent manager goes 12 points clear and there's no title race.

@blvkray Instead of saying the boys have 5 games to show attacking football and score plenty of goals to win games. He focuses on relying on city to drop points. If both teams win all their games it will go down to goal difference. Still in arsenals hands!

As an arsenal hater, I feel sorry for him

@Ar_senalXtra_ @LiquidAy Recruitment isn’t his job. He has a say and that’s it. If you think it’s his job you are basically saying Berta, Edu etc are getting paid to do nothing?!?!

@LiquidAy These are all attacking signings in his tenure

⚽ Arsenal attacking recruitment under Mikel Arteta (last 6 years) Willian-Chelsea Sterling-Chelsea Kai Havertz-Chelsea Madueke-Chelsea Jesus- Man City Trosaard-Brighton Marquinous-St. Gallen Gyokeres-Sporting When I realised Mikel Arteta didn’t really have a clear plan for Arsenal’s attack was when he signed Raheem Sterling 😭 Honestly, this manager spent years as an assistant under Pep Guardiola and still didn’t seem to learn how to properly build an elite attacking unit.
