I cant read the article but I assume them showing Addlestone on the map with the Dial Square badge and saying 'one day return to Woolwich' means they're actually setting up there? That's not even in London...
Club badge should be a compass lol.

With Arteta at the helm, I think they've won 1, drawn 5 and lost 1.

Be interesting to see how their results pan out for the rest of the season.

Their overall development will hinge on the transfer windows, but they haven't done great in this area over recent seasons.

Tbh, they're sliding into middle table obscurity

The host of this week’s Sunday supplement didn’t believe it when that was said by one of the journos this morning. He had to check and was surprised. Just shows how the narrative around his appointment and their form has been handled. They’ve won one game. Yet because of how they’ve been written about people think they are doing well. It’s like their summer transfer window and we’ve seen the result of that.

Hopefully Burnley turn up and turn them over today. He could do with being under a bit of pressure.

Another draw; Won 1, Drawn 6, Lost 1

Next two games for them are Newcastle and Everton at home. Will be an excellent barometer of how good they are currently.

Doubt he'll be under 'real' pressure though. It would be crazy not to give him a summer transfer window.

Thoughts and prayers to Arse fans who sat down to watch that expecting City to provide some consolation on another dismal weekend for them.

Only Watford and Norwich have won fewer games.

Conversely, only Liverpool have lost fewer and City, Leicester and Wolves have lost the same.

But we'll focus on the first stat because it's completely mental how unable they are to decide games.

I’m not sure I fully understand why so many people, and I’m not talking biased goon loonies, are certain Arteta is going to be a resounding success and lead them to glory for many a year.

What are they basing this on exactly? They’ve showed an improvement in commitment since he took over, if not an improvement in results, but at virtually every other club this is passed off as a new manager bounce ( their form hasn’t actually warranted such a description imo )
Is it because he worked under Pep? Brian Kidd, Carlos Queiroz, Steve McClaren, all these managerial geniuses learned from Fergie to be fair...

A good number two is absolutely no indicator of how good they’ll be in the hot seat.

He’s not a little unproven, he’s completely unproven. He might end up being a complete disaster and never land a decent job again

All valid points but the fact that the owners aren't interested in spending big bucks in the transfer market, will be the main reason they fail.
