Me too and I felt dirty about it.I wanted Arsenal to win the league this season.
There, I said it.
Yep. He's a chairman. Since when do chairmen take responsibility?The only way for Daniel Levy to take any responsibility is for him to be the new manager.
Hard to say, the game has evolved a lot since then and there’s less time and room for fancy moves these days. Teams are much better organized.Globally footballers are shitter now than they were 20+ odd years ago. You can name 5/6 genuenly great current players. Back then there were loads, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Figo, Zidane, Del Piero, Totti, Batistuta, Klivert, Raul etc etc
yeah but even the defenders were better Nesta, Canavaro, Cafu, Robbie Carlos, Thuram, Desalliy etc.Hard to say, the game has evolved a lot since then and there’s less time and room for fancy moves these days. Teams are much better organized.
- Hojbjerg is our best midfielder, probably even once Bentancur is back from injury.
Controversially I actually think the opposite is true. My view is they the general standard is improved so the "best" players don't stand out as dramatically as before.Globally footballers are shitter now than they were 20+ odd years ago.

I'll go further and suggest that fitness and physicality has even further taken over from technique and self expression. Other than Messi, the purported best players in the world are more optimised athletes, like Mbappe, Ronaldo, Bale, Haaland etc. You used to get loads of genuinely breathtaking footballers, like Kaka, Baggio, Laudrup, Hoddle, Gullit, etc etc.Globally footballers are shitter now than they were 20+ odd years ago.

I honestly think the fans will flick a switch once Levy is gone. It's all pent up frustration from the last 10 years. Very powerful for any new manager that's there when the change happens. Will be reminiscent when of when Newcastle ridded themselves of Ashley.
- We’re spending enough money to compete for top four, that isn’t the problem.
- Hojbjerg is our best midfielder, probably even once Bentancur is back from injury.
- Romero really isn’t that good. Too rash and unpredictable to be a top defender in most systems.
- Our fans are toxic and it plays a noticeable part in our struggles.
Not quite. For all Levy's scattergun approach to football, we've never been deliberatly asset stripped and sent into the Championship. Ashley held Newcastle fans in contempt.I honestly think the fans will flick a switch once Levy is gone. It's all pent up frustration from the last 10 years.
