Whatever happens for us gunners now. thank arteta, the coaching staff and our hugely talented squad of players, who have given us our ARSENAL back. and if they keep this trajectory going, we are in for plenty of good times ahead. the road is less bumpy and scenery becoming more beautiful. COME ON YOU GUNNERS/ VTH. ONE TEAM THE ARSENAL/ ONE ❤️. ARSENAL TILL I DIE. ?⚪️ p. s never forget you could have been a chicken on a beach ball fan, and life would be real ??.
{Ed014's Note - I’d also add that we must be a very attractive option for the best younger players in the transfer market too come the summer.

Morning Ed 014. hope alls well for you and the missus, and life is treating you kind. yes mate I think arsenal will be a huge attraction for new signings. it’s good to be a gooner. ✌?&??.
{Ed014's Note - morning Gabi yes all good mate and hopefully likewise with you and yours.
It is a fantastic time to be a gunner mate and Arteta has done an incredible job in turning us around from where we were when he joined.
So many doubted him and that includes me.
I edit other pages and it amazes me that other fans think he’s arrogant/cocky etc.
I never get that impression and that’s not because I’ve got red tinted glasses.
I guess it just shows he’s getting things right if he erks others so much. ?♂️

I am one of those people who wanted Arteta gone after two 8th place finishes, how wrong I was and how happy I am that no one with any powe at Arsenal listened to me, wise people.
Arteta has learned his trade on the job and has learned from his own mistakes gets far more right than he gets wrong with each season that passes, we are extremely fortunate to have a manager, club and squad who want everything we want ourselves and are becoming more and more capable of achieving our collective dreams. 10/ 10 for Arteta this season in my opinion as anything else would be nit picking.

I trusted the process, I wanted to give Mikel a chance. I did change my mind in a couple occasions though
Well said john.

Hi Mark unquestionably Arteta has got better and better and better as time has gone on, the difference last season to the season before was huge but this season he's stepped up several levels again in my opinion. I am now of the opinion that I will back his decisions 100% even if they are not what I would do myself, as I have come to the conclusion he actually might know better than me, shock horror, who knew ?????????.

Arteta asked us to trust the process, and I have from the start. he had a hell of a lot of deadwood to get rid of and crappy culture to re-address, and it was always going to take some time. (which thankfully he has been granted) . I trusted him for the simple fact. he played for us. (the arsenal in his heart) . under wenger and was pep’s assistant. and over the course of roughly 9 years of mentoring under two of the very best coaches in world football… (pep even insisted we should stick with Mikel) . and if you can’t learn anything in that time from two such greats… you may as well get your coat… keep trusting that process. he will lead us back to the promised land. The Arsenal are back for good, mixing it with the best. ?⚪️❤️.

Last season Arteta learned the lesson and value of playing a settled best available 11 in all premier league games the benefits paid off handsomely but unfortunately the team ran out of steam, he learned from this but didn't throw out the baby with the bathwater and rested players where necessary this season rather than through trying to keep everyone happy, the result has been genuine competition for places rather than rotation rotation rotation for the sake of tinkering or player pleasing. And we now have an awesomely competive yet united squad with strength in depth we haven't seen anything like for years where all players are playing to keep or regain a place in the starting 11. Martinelli is currently not in that starting 11 but will become a much better player for having to fight to regain his place in the long run, things haven't looked so good at The Arsenal for a very long time.

I was a regular critic of Mikel, but he has proved me and the other doubters wrong. He sets the bar high because he truly believes that as a Club we should strive for that. The quality of the squad is there for all to see, the atmosphere in the stadium is absolutely bangin. Lastly without being to disrespectful to the other clubs there, s not a fixture in the season where I don't think we can get 3pts

Great post Bill mate, this is where we all wanted us to be, only one team can be champions each season no matter how well 3 or 4 teams play, only one can ever finish top. If we keep doing what we are doing our time at the top will come, this season, next season or at some point in the near future and it won't be long before someone else gets to be top for a bit. It's all about genuinely being in the race and crossing the line first is the icing on the icing on the cake rather than the cake itself. Absolutely having to win and be number one to be happy and enjoy the season is a game played by losers 99% of the time as any fan of any club knows all to well ?.
