State of the club megathread
Arsenal, eh?
There's no two ways about it, we've been shit. And by shit I mean the worst run of form since 1977. We haven't been on a winless run this long for forty-two years. We've got a rookie manager in charge, an incompetent board and a squad that shits its pants whenever it has to do something else other pass the ball back to Leno.
So we're all a bit frustrated. We understand. However, those frustrations lead to /new getting clogged up. As such, we'd like to invite you all to share your hot takes, frustrations, rants and overall anger and despair at the situation around the club in this thread.
Thanks.
