So far my take

Perhaps because Arsene is a very good performer with the meeja whereas AVB does not really have much of a personality in front of the camera or at the press conferences. As you say he suffers in that respect in comparison with Arry who would always give the journos some stupid little quote or quip to satisfy them.

Much more relevant than his ability to charm the meeja is the Portugese's ability to organise and inspire the Spuds players.

And until he, and they, earn a few victories the jury is out.

If you think back to Ramos it took no more than 2-3 games to go from a disappointing start to the season to his P45

I think the meeja's fascination with Spuds is because of the certainty that no matter ho well or poorly things are going thee will be some inexplicable and violent lurch on the roller coaster - especially with your current chairman at the wheel - always newsworthy

All we gotta do is win a couple of games. Todays news tomorrows chip wrapper.

All to play for - interesting game against QPR - another manager under pressure

Thing is Nic, all managers are under pressure, such is the prem, the only manager that dont seem to get it from the Meeja is Arsene, however theres plenty of noises from ex players in papers.

A results game Baz and if Arsene had two points from his opening three fixtures the doomers would be in full spate.

Very funny on a*se boards on Saturday with the closing of the transfer window - hysteria from the "spend some farkin money" crew

Come Sunday afternoon nothing - you could hear a pin drop - though not at Anfield

The point is however Baz AVB is not Arsene, very different track record

Yes, his won some trophies recently!!

Well then he should have no problems then;

Mind you didn't Ramos win trophies - at Seville and with Spuds?

And while Lought might think it was crap Arry picked up the FA Cup for Pompey - given the club's lack of cash that was a top, top, top achievement imo.

Didn't GeorgeG manage a Milk Cup win ?

Didn't really do them any favours did it in the sack race ?

If I was a manager I would be a bit careful about trophies - as Carlo Ancelotti

Yep, who needs em Nic, bet theres shedloads of Goons our there thanking god that have not won anything or look like competing with the big boys for the prem title and thanking their lucky stars that they take part each year in Champs League with no chance of winning it, nope, all Goons are just like you aint they!!

If you are in the CL Dave you have a chance of winning it - look at the bizarre run of Chelsea last season

Yes if I ever had any doubts about Arsenal's chance to win the CL trophy they evaporated when I watched the sixth club in England somehow manage to pick it up. Watching that I was tempted to put a thousand on England to win the World Cup ( I resisted)

Mind you you also have to qualify for the competition, whether it is the CL or the World Cup

yep the season he won the fa cup most clubs was taken it lightly. it was the few season when the fa cup was devaulued.

how comes hes never been to a final before in 50 years of being a manager. oh he got us to a semi final our only hard game and look what happend there.

oh and the other season we lost to portsmouth

Getting a bit desperate this int it Lought - abusing Portsmouth's 2008 FA Cup win ?

As I recall you went to Trafford Park and got stuffed by ManYoo - Pompey went there and won

I suppose in the world of the paranoid tottingham fan Manyoo tried against Spuds but rolled over against Pompey.

Other than the Milk Cup/Capital One/ Whatver Cup I dont recall Manyoo going easy in any domestic or Euro competition
