"The journey continues" - Mikel signs extension until 2025

Ah yeah, he mentioned how very big the gap between us and the top teams still is in that BBC interview as well. Well maybe he has something to do with that.

One bit of the interview I found that made me lol is the following:

Question: "Club found it hard to get top four since Wenger"

Arteta wrote:
"The standard of this club has to be to win. The moment we don’t look at that with a time-frame of when we are going to do that, we are not going to get there. So my aim is to win trophies and my plan is to win here and what we have to to before that to get to that level."

Where is this supposed time frame then? The original talk of us winning thr CL in 3 years? Because I haven't seen any talk of time frames of when we should expect to be getting top 4 let alone winning things.

All I hear is how we have achieved so much this year already regardless of whethwe we end up in CL or not, and how we showed we are a serious club by offering him a new contract after 3 straight defeats.

I’m excited going in to the summer window. Have a feeling we’ll make some major moves

Yet you weren't enthused enough to find a stream to watch the game today?

I will say Dules, you have been a constant positive around here.

I hope you are right are we have a huge summer. I think that most of our target should be within reach even without CL, so let’s see what is in store.

Arteta has until the beginning of the WC for me.

How we bottled top 4 is unforgivable.

ohboy

It is not going to happen obviously, but I would cut bait with Arteta right now.

We actually are in a decent position, in Europe, with seemingly a bit of money to spend. Potter would be a great choice from this springboard, rather get him now than halfway through next year.

Arteta will be under a lot of pressure from the start of next year which is not ideal.

We gave him a new contract. It’s almost like the owners have no clue.

Oh wait..

The Thur - Sun turnaround will fuck us like it did in 20/21. EL is a lot harder than 2 years ago because all the real shit teams will be in Conference League.

This year was the best chance to get top 4.

We will regret this season in years to come.

Are we ever going to finish above Spurs again? Them with Conte will be a real force next year. We should have got Conte when he was available.

No because everything for this season was pretty much done n dusted. It’s our potential that excites me. Next season is the telling one. We’re talking the talk and it’ll be crunch time.

Indeed a versatile option hardly tested out even when we were in multiple competitions

Emotional hedge? Yep tend to make money off them darned spuds

We need a new poll now that the season has finished and everyone can adopt its conclusions.

For me, things have confirmed once again what we always knew: This guy is a fraud. I cannot even use the term 'coach' for him, that would be flattering that clown.

I was sitting almost right behind Arteta today, about 3 rows away and after the match he was fist pumping and waving to fans like we did well this season.

I think he genuinely believe he is the solution

😆 😆 😆

I dunno why, but hearing your account of the day cracked me up.

Glad you got to attend a game with multiple goals.

That was for the cameras.

Listen to his post match interview, he says he is still gutted from Monday night and they he is a winner and doesn’t like to lose.

And his post match interview that's broadcasted to millions of people isn't for the cameras?

They are two different things.

In the presser he was was asked direct questions and felt he gave honest responses. What did you want him to do in the stadium? Not interact with the crowd?

Don't really give a fuck, I just think it's weird you think that he acted for the cameras directly after the game, yet feel he's honest in a post-match interview, in 2022, where even the dumbest players are coached to say only the things that fans want to hear, let alone Arteta, who's a master of PR talk.

Agreed. I trust you're hurting like the rest of us tonight. Auba scored 11 goals in 16 appearances with his season closing as we speak. Be real, deep down do you feel his inclusion would have helped us seize that chance?
