I've been reading the Liverpool comments and other sites recently. We certainly aren't flavour of the month. It seems Arteta isn't respected by many teams because of his over-the-top antics and his hair (since when has hair dictated how good you are? ) .
I think Conti, Wenger/ Fergie, Mourinho etc etc were equally as vocal and I don't remember that being a problem.
Hey ho we will just have to drown out the noise, keep calm and carry on.
Or perhaps it's because he was voted the most handsome manager in the PL ?.

It’s seems everyone feels the need to put people/ things in a box. Insults like Lego man Stoke City are a) bollox and b) tribal c) lazy and moronic
I always thought Conte had a lovely wave of natural hair personally ? although Jim did call Slot Baldy so maybe it’s a thing COYG.

Very few people bother putting down and slagging off people they don't feel threatened by Sally, it's actually a compliment to Arteta that so many people are now so negatively obsessed with him.
Very few people get over emotional about managers of mid table or relegation fighting clubs, it's almost always the managers of the teams that frighten them most that get the most abuse.

To be fair - you listed a load of winners and they earned that right. Arteta hasn’t really done anything. Wenger changed the game, won trophies and transformed our club….

I think Arteta has transformed Arsenal SY.

I totaly agree with that comment too Sally, he may not have yet and may never actually take us to the ultimate highs the game has to offer but compared to where we were on and off the field before he took over we are totally unrecognisable. Even our home grown youth players are now coming in at a crazy early age and delivering at a very high level on a regular basis. It's easy to forget just how far he has brought the club sometimes.

Has he brought a new style f football not seen at the club: elevated our global brand, changed training, diets, new stadium or won the league? Transformed the youth set up? He ‘s not even won the same as Wenger in his Shyte years”
He’s had a billion pounds thrown at him - he hasn’t got us back to playing at the level Wenger got us playing. Transformed is a big word and his change is small in my world. Sorry but he’s not yet fit to be mentioned with Fergie, Jose, Klopp, Pep or Wenger. To me that’s disrespectful to this great managers that truly did great things and probably only in Fergie and Wenger transformed a club.
I’m glad you are happy with the changes he has made - Wenger took over a failing Arsenal and what did he do in the first two seasons?
{Ed025's Note - SY you have to rein it back a bit now mate, we get it...you dont rate or like Arteta and of course opinions are fine but its getting a bit monotonous now, you have been a good poster for a long while now and im sure you dont enjoy being so negative my friend but lets not try and bring the moral of the site down please..

Sy read the other pages, there’s enough anti Arsenal stuff to go around without one of our own sticking the knife in all day every day. Relax enjoy that despite in August when the fixtures came out the instant narrative was wow Arsenal have a tough start we are just two points off the top. Labouring the same point isn’t enlightening. MA may or may not be who you think he is but he’s a Gooner and loves the club and I like him for that! The louder the outside noise the better we are doing VTH ? ?☀️☀️.

Hi Sussex, the only reason I mentioned 'Baldy' was because the OP felt the need to call Arteta 'Lego head'. I didn't start the name calling, but felt the need to bring the post down to their low-level of intelligence in the hope they may understand the point I was making a little bit better.

I know Jim and they deserved it . Not linking you with that level of posting far from it. Anyway enough Pool talk ( although I’m guilty of posting too much) out my system now - meant no offence Jim COYG.
