Am going to write something about Arsenal to make everyone feel a bit better this morning.

I work with every major club and many of the top ones are shareholders in my business.

Right now, Arsenal on and off the field and the project we are building is the envy of world football. Agents calling constantly to get their players in to the club because every player wants to play for us, the brands wanting to work with us. Club is working on ideas to help the fans more and get more of us to see the team we love. Arsenal are feared. That is why you see the nonsense in media this country. It’s great. The owners are super committed and long term investors and not scared to invest for long term.

As for Mikel and the team and all the staff… Wow! This hurts right now and nothing is given in life or football, but we are on a path that will mean games like last night and how we are performing over the last two seasons will become just normal. I have never been more excited about where we are going. Enjoy it, it is going to be fun. Plus win at Wolves Saturday and you never know… walk tall today, our club oozes class and let’s stick together.

@HistorywHilbert @dcsandbrook 😂Well he's clearly not a friend of the show. Agree to disagree? We are all here for the rare archival recordings before the start of each show, no?
