I think it will be a while before my team Arsenal will be back to where it was, but hopefully we can do it with Arteta! Pretty hard to catch up with Liverpool this season.

That isn't even up for consideration, With Unai Emery Arsenal became a team which didn't know it's typical formation/style/tactics, a pragmatic and opposition based manager. Which the team simply wasn't good enough to implement. Arteta is a possession/total football based manager of the Wenger variety, hopefully he can bring back some success. No joke though, Arsenal is in a relegation battle.

Now, we can't even beat Brighton, shocking. No joke though, we are in a relegation battle. I cannot believe it. What team do you support?

I vaguely remember something about Hamburg beating Juventus in the European Cup, such a great team. Then again, who hasn't beat Juventus, hahaha. Yes, I don't know much about German Football but I'm surprised that Hamburg is in the next division, wouldn't expect that from a team with such a history, then again, Leeds United has been stuck in the Championship for a decade.

That`s one of the big problems the HSV has.....the big history. They always said "Hey, we are the HSV, we`ll never relegate" etc. We had 18!! coaches since 2010, sometimes 3 different coaches in one season and almost the same numbers of sporting directors (like Frank Arnesen. He brought us all the youngsters from Chelsea) Almost a decade of bad managment and chaos.

Man, I did a bit or research, that is some amount of managers, I feel like that is the modern course of football, unfortunately. Still one of the biggest teams in Germany though. They'll be back again though, take Eintracht for instance, they won the German Cup last year, and virtually no one expected it. Anything can happen in football!

Hopefully the gunners can get a result against Man Utd, we have literally no defenders though, hahaha.

Well, Arsenal are really terrible at the moment, I don't think it comes down to the managers, make no mistake about it Emery was a good manager. It's the players, the players aren't good enough. Its not so much a question of how much money is to be spent on players, its a question of who they are buying, don't buy for the sake of buying, buy because the player is right. I don't think Arsenal will qualify for the Europa league this year, although I may be wrong. I think Arsenal need to put everything into the Europa League, and hope they can win it and get Champions League, but we tried that last year and guess how that ended. Really I do think Arteta will need a few seasons to bring in the right players and get his total football style down. I like Arteta though, he was a great player. The whole Klopp thing annoys me, because we could have got Klopp before Liverpool, but we decided to stick with Wenger, which I'm as much to blame as anyone, because I wanted Wenger to stay, but I never knew that Klopp was capable of doing what he was doing. But hey, maybe after he's done with Liverpool, he could try the gunners?

I picked a German team to support, just because I guess, I'm an Eintracht Frankfurt fan now, German equivalent of Arsenal.
