Hey Jonathan. A moment of calm retrospection in a sea of vitriol, recrimination and anger (online at least). I think there’s a real ‘want it now’ attitude out there. Witness some of the hysterical musings in the Athletic comments (where I note you, amongst others, are fearless). But people like you and I are dubbed blinkered and misguided and part of the cult of Arteta. Sad but true. I have had my wobbles this last couple of weeks it’s true but I always come back to the distance we’ve come and the fact that, when all is said and done, there’s just our beloved Arsenal. Thanks mate

Thanks so much Ben! I know, I was laughing last night at A Handbrake Off where they were arguing with each other a bit and basically venting with frustration.

I think you and I said it before, but there are things that need fixing, there are things that Arteta could change and in his learning journey I'm really interested to see what happens, how he'll evolve. But for me he is our Tribe right, lets not throw our toys from our privileged prams just yet eh? :)

As for The Athletic, I reckon the comments have been getting harsher in general in the way they always seem to do. Nothing more righteous that a keyboard warrior 🤣
