🚨 Mikel Arteta agrees new Arsenal contract. #AFC boss into last year of deal but all sides aimed to extend since talks started in spring; improved terms now in place for 44yo & coaching staff also in process of renewing @TheAthleticFC post @SamiMokbel_BBC https://t.co/eYtlzKBPY3
This was the day I realised that rest of the world had truly lost their fuckin minds.
They wrote books criticising us for playing defensive football
-While 2-1 up
- With 10 men for a whole half
- Away to then current champions Man City
Arteta already has so many poignant and great quotes in his coaching career.
We got lucky he was still available and willing the second time around. He’s going to be seen as levels soon in the coaching realm.
A further note in this piece is on the tribalism, which, from an unofficial, and I think sadly, in some cases, an official capacity, is a major block for improvement of officiating of the sport.
Point-scoring online seems to be more preferred than hoping for better standards.
@sensible_gunner I call them the Arsenal rules. Very specific momentum reffing. Prem refs the best at it.
Because the majority watch with disdain it’s ignored.
Premier league is actually crazy dawg, you have the Big 6 to worry about then the B brothers then St James Park, Stadium of Light and Hill Dickinson on a Monday Night.
More than half the premier league table is formidable. The other half remain dangerous and capable.
Yet people and media continue to downplay the difficulty of the premier league.
