Liverpool supporter just visiting to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a peaceful and healthy New Year.

If we can't win the league then you guys should go and grab it.

I know Arsene is not universally supported but he has been a top manager for so long and he fully deserves respect for the way he wants the game to be played.

You guys will miss him once he is gone but at least he will be leaving you in great shape.

Jurgen has had this season to get used to the EPL and we will be back soon enough to be serious challengers so make the most of it whilst you can.

All the best.

Morning Tommy,
Thank you kind Sir, wishing you and your family all the best for Christmas and the New Year.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Dec 2015 12:46:00
Ps Tommy,
Look after Klipperty, we will have him off you end of next season :-)

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Dec 2015 14:09:51
Sorry but Jurgen is going nowhere for at least one the next 7 years whilst he puts a new dynasty in place at Anfield.

You can have your pick of LVG Jose Rafa and Pep. They are all available now or shortly. Clearly one of those guys is head and shoulders ahead of the others but will he wait or will he take second best and go to Manchester or Chelski?

I understand that Arsene is due to move aside after next season. If you win the league this year and are strong next season will that change?

Anyway whilst you enjoy yourselves right now we are as happy as punch just looking forward to when Jurgen begins to get the team he wants.

It just goes to show that getting the right manager in place is the most important thing for a club to do. Hopefully Manchester United and Chelski will make bad appointments.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Dec 2015 15:29:54
I think irrespective of where we finish next season, Arsene will definitely leave.
If we are Champions, this season or next, it will bring to his fruition of leaving Arsenal Football Club in a "good" place.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Dec 2015 16:01:14
Arsene is in the very select band of managers who can choose when he has had enough.

Most managers are shown the door sooner or later. Arsene has overseen the move to a new home kept the club's finances under control built a formidable side and always made his teams play the right way.

He is a worthy successor to the likes of Chapman Mee and Graham.

Merry Christmas Eds, we don't always see eye to eye, but that's what makes the site the best site, by far, on the internet.
Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas.

Just a quick question is it true Leandro Damiao is out of contract? sure he was suppose to be one of the hottest prospects in Brazil a few years ago. Is there any interest anywhere? or has he just wasted his talent.

also is kevin prince boateng. available too? I always liked him even though he is lazy.

answers please? be much apreciated.

{Ed002's Note - They are both unattached. Why are you asking all of this on the Arsenal page.}

Merry Christmas to you all.

Oh, a joke.

LVG is obviously struggling to cope with the pressure he's under and the British press who let's face it are like a pack of wild dogs once they sense anything remotely weakened.
He has to realise the style of football he serves up has to bring big success to be accepted in any shape or form and poor results coupled with awful football can't last long at any club let alone a big club like utd.
I know he's being paid vast amounts of money and he's had fantastic backing from his board both financially and in being given a virtual free hand to do what he wants but if utd struggle against Stoke i hope they act quickly as its not nice to see someone slowly torn apart bit by bit.

I know he is having a 'mare', what with his style of play, the fact Manchester United are playing pants and he has 'Mourinho's shadow' hovering over him, but I think the media should show him a little bit of respect.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Dec 2015 09:16:39
I don't see he's ever been disrespectful to anyone else or done anything wrong other than be bad at his job.
I also think the worrying trend of player power is playing its part, the management game is getting more and more difficult with less and less time and power than ever and the player power becoming a new fashion especially at the bigger clubs.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Dec 2015 09:59:18
I think the biggest problem is the fact a managerial post is just a merry go round.

Statistically, in his first 55 games, LVG has managed more prem points than Fergie managed in the same period.

Stat's don't always tell the true story, but its just the way football is nowadays.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Dec 2015 20:15:57
True Dags I think we will get used to very short tenure's by managers and players in the future.
