Arsenal needed this loss to humble stubborn Arteta. So much of this could’ve been avoided if it wasn’t for his arrogance. I’m hoping this humbling doesn’t carry over into Sunday. :francis:
If it’s one thing I’ve learned about Arteta, is he is not easily humbled. He will do what he wants until it becomes so untenable he has to do something different/ gets massive push back. Injuries also force his hand.

He’s convinced most of the fanbase he’s a genius, which props to him he’s done good things, but he still has so much to prove he’s not where he or a lot ppl thinks he is as a manager

This is what endless expansion gets you.

Can't wait for them to run a worldwide tournament similar to Euro 2020, hosted just by a random collection of cities. :laff:

As much as I chuckle, by the same token major tournaments can't just be the playground of developed nations.

There needs to be a way to bridge these things

International players after hearing they're playing in a 2 month transcontinental World Cup after playing a 70 game season:

I assume its because its the 100th anniversary of the World Cup. FIFA saw that it was a success minus the final shenanigans at the Euros (60th anniversary) and decided to copy it.
