"When I arrived, they told me we would play Stoke City. I knew of their reputation, of their style. I went to the library. I found the videos. Not of the current team, no. The foundation. The source. I watched, for two weeks, only the throws of Rory Delap. Every throw. The position of the hips, the rotation of the torso, the release of the ball. The trajectory. I watched the movement of the players, not the ones who received the ball, but the ones who moved away, the ones who created the space. I had to understand the philosophy. The soul of the team. Even if the player is no longer there, the ideas remain. The DNA is a ghost that haunts the club."
@jonnyupt Massive odds on before the season started to win the league - shorter odds than Leeds and Birmingham. 15 points behind and no cup finals let alone trophies. If artetas not to blame, who is?
@jonnyupt Have to disagree here gaffer. Arguably our most important player, probably just behind Kane and Rice. Without him we wouldn't stand a chance defensively, especially against the better sides.
@jonnyupt No angle of the ball down the line. Canโt disallow goals on maybes. It had a Newcastle win all over it based on the game. Var not the reason arsenal lost gaffer
