Quote from: Hillbilly on October 25, 2022, 07:43:00 AMIt's always puzzled me, is his surname one of those coincidences where a name will pop up in different place e.g. Lee in Ireland and Hong Kong. Or does he have a random British ancestor (or Emerys here have a random Basque ancestor)?It's from southern France originally. My aunt did the whole family tree thing a few years back and we had 'relatives' in France, Spain (specifically Basque and Catalan) and loads on Corsica, was 10-12 generations back though.

And he's got a point to prove, he's got the fire. Dead chuffed.
And those ungrateful tarquins at Arsenal lost a very good manager that laid the foundations for Arteta's success. When I thought he had been a failure I had not realised how close he had got them to the top 4 and the final etc.

He's really likeable, always happy to have a joke with the press. There's a clip where he answered a reporters phone when it rang during a conference.I really respect that he continued to conduct all interviews in English even though he was being mocked a bit, and has continued to try to improve. So long as he can get a few results fairly quickly I think fans will love him.

He reminds me a bit of Ranieri, and you're right, I think we'll love him.Chuffed with his.He's going to beat those Red tramps in his first game isn't he. Brilliant.
I don't profess to follow Arsenal intently, but he seemed to have a lot of problems the year he left. Ozil was being a bellend for a start.
He was also succeeding Wenger, a club legend. That kind of role is virtually impossible from the start.
