Those managers would have been trying to win the league or qualify for Europe instead of a shitty fa Cup

For 3 out of those 5 years Arsenal also qualified for Europe, champions league no less, while also pulling in the odd shitty cup

In the last five years Arsene Wenger won more trophies than maureen, poch, and klopp combined.

You have gone all Maureen counting community shields  Wink

Jose - League, FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League

Arsene - 3 FA Cups

I wonder if the spuds are having any second thoughts about marketing their new stadium as "the only place to watch Champions' League football in London this year".

A shitty FA Cup?

It's the bloody FA Cup!  It might not be the Prem or the CL but it's still a decent trophy to win.

Good game of football today and nice to see us turn up for the first half.

Brilliant equalizer from Lacazette - Leno gave me(and no doubt himself) a few uncomfortable moments, but Xhaka was excellent throughout.

Liverpool were poor, had a goal disallowed and you still only got a draw at home

I think that double defensive pivot makes Arsenal a much better team

Previously the big sides found it easy to get through central midfield and attack those centre backs. Not so easy now with two holders in front of the back 4

not quite there yet but pretty encouraging i would say

Enjoyable game and great to see the positivity and enthusiasm returning to the Emirates.

Some excellent  performances  - Torreira looks v good and Xhaka a different level to anything I've seen from him previously.

Shame for Liverpool though with the disallowed goal. ( I resisted the temptation to put a smiley there)

Torreira has made a very significant impact so far and to Tighty's point, the 2 in centre mid make a big difference, we've got plenty of good attacking players and Torreira and Xhaka both pass forward pretty well too. Emery's use of subs is so much better than Wenger too- it never looked like Wenger had the ability to adjust approach during a game - it often felt we were either in it or out of it for the whole 90.

Best thing about this start and decent improvement overall is that we don't have to listen to any aftertimed 'Arsenal fans should have been careful what they wished for blah blah etc'

Wenger In at AC Milan.

I hope he does really well for them and IG.

This is "fake news" according to the great man himself.

To be honest, I'm actually pleased if it turns out to be fake news. Somehow it never felt right, & I guess with IG soon-to-be-installed at AC Milan, that was the catalyst for the stories.

Somehow I'd prefer him to take up a more statesman-esque role in football, rather than in Club Management. Whatever he does, I'd wish him well though.

I'm delighted to see Rob Holding having a good run of games in the team and receiving well-deserved plaudits; I wouldn't be too surprised if he got a call-up for England soon.

He cost £2.5M a couple of years ago - I wonder what he'd be valued at today.
