Could Mikel Arteta be the new Sir Alex?

Just lost two on the trot so I doubt it. Going well and now a slump, you're so unpredictable.

 

On that basis he will be the second coming of Fergie indeed if he wins the two home games, abit of a knee jerk post

 

I don't think so because losing to strugglers isn't a good omen.

 

A bad start and I feel we'll be looking for another manger. A good start and he get's longer, we need to look and win trophies not just hang around hoping to make the top six.

 

I don't think that's the aim in all honesty. The spending certainly doesn't correlate with that.

 

I do actually want to win a trophy actually make a fist of a cup run not just hang on the tails of the other clubs but be amongst them and beat them, to dream? Let's hope this season is our return. Fed up of being second class.

 

Is this on amazon now?

 

We can only hope...well I guess expectation would be fair considering the outlay.

I think we’ll have a fair old crack at the cups this season. Got a bigger squad for it now with the introductions of Saliba and Vieira.

I suspect we’re not done yet in the window.

 

Well looky looky two wins and we actually look confident and gave scored some decent goals with some decent movement. Do I dare to dream?

 

Sir Alex could definitely swear better. I can’t take Arteta seriously when he loses his temper.

 

unlikely, fergie took over at a time of transition, Liverpool being taken down by the departure of Dalglish, goners might have taken over but had their own issues, and can tell a lot by who the mancs were in title fights with for the first six seasons they were title contenders

Leeds (relegated after some success and up and down these days)
Blackburn (one-off, never likely to sustain, spent more time out of the top flight than they'd like)
Newcastle (didn't convert to any success, got relegated but have got back to where they were)

once Roman roubles were pumped into chelski fergie had it less his own way, point is that fairy tale was possible a couple of decades ago but domination over weaker opponents as fergie enjoyed for a decade or so not likely to be repeated in a hurry

even Klopp came in, rattled chequebook Pep's cage with 19/20 and a couple of close run title battles, but ultimately Arteta will do well to repeat the more sensible comparison of Wenger and what he did
