150 - Fewest games to 150 wins by managers in the @premierleague:
Pep Guardiola (204)
José Mourinho (231)
Jürgen Klopp (237)
Alex Ferguson (247)
Mikel Arteta (249)
Relentless.
Arteta is a demon. As soon as he got a UCL level squad, he finished above Klopp 2x in a row and took 4/6 points B2B, he's the only manager in EPL history to finish above Pep 2x (in a row), and sent Pep packing in his final season. + all the other records. Monster
I’ll say it again, Martyn Ziegler should be held in the highest esteem for the work he’s done over the last couple of weeks. The textbook definition of what journalism is all about.
It shouldn’t be forgotten that he was key in breaking the failed Super League breakaway too. 👏
They think they can gaslight us when after 6 years of VAR we get 1 season with a minor positive outcome from VAR after 5 seasons of hugely negative ones.
They think we forgot how they implemented special rules for Arsenal last season and ruined our season with the most absurd red cards that we never saw again.
They think we forgot how they “forgot to drew lines” for a clear offside on a title race.
They think we forgot about the accumulation of ridiculous calls and constantly being in the negative end of the VAR repercussions.
The ONLY PL team to be on that negative side in 5 out of 6 seasons, but they want to convince us we won through VAR when the effect in our season was completely minor.
Not with me!
Top 5 Premier League clubs by transfer spending since Mikel Arteta became Arsenal manager in December 2019
1. Chelsea: €2.15bn
2. Manchester City: €1.273bn
3. Manchester United: €1.247bn
4. Tottenham: €1.144bn
5. Arsenal (CHAMPIONS): €1.138bn
I don’t want to speak.
In the league:
– 3 of Arsenal's 5 losses this season happened in the 8 games Saliba didn't start;
– Arsenal picked up 12/24 points in those games (including that 1-0 win against Brighton where we got hammered);
– With Saliba, Arsenal picked up 2.43 points per game.
It’s an unpopular view but Arsenal’s title is the story of considerable overperformance against wealthier opposition - City’s higher wage bill is the equivalent of more than five Sakas
It wasn’t always pretty but it is maximising everything you’ve got

50 + 50 - Aged 24 years and 255 days today, Bukayo Saka is the second youngest player in Premier League history to register both 50+ goals and 50+ assists, behind only Wayne Rooney (24 years, 84 days). Production.
Gabriel and Saliba are amongst the best pairs in Premier League history, with 53 clean sheets in 116 games. Only Rio and Vidic have more (70 in 138 games), and like them, they have shown years of consistency at the highest level. A trophy for #Arsenal truly cements their legacy.
3 minutes comp that directly cost us 3 league titles.
The fact this is only 1% of the game changing decisions that have gone against us during Arteta’s era too is absurd.
