Arsenal fans have the utmost respect for Klopp. They don’t even see him as an enemy or rival, they see him as a brethren in the struggle against a common enemy, the people who have robbed them both of titles and honors, Pep and City.
But insecure Liverpool fans keep pushing agendas against Arteta because of their insecurities about Arteta winning more titles than Klopp.
If Liverpool fans don’t desist from this attack on Arteta that has been going on for seasons, Arsenal fans will launch the dirtiest agenda ever known to man against Klopp soon.
Arsenal win at Sunderland. Get called boring.
Chelsea go there and lose.
Arsenal win at Forest. Get called boring.
City go there and lose.
Chelsea draw at home to Hull.
Arsenal beat them. Get called boring.
See how it works yet?
🚨 Arteta regarding the Timber / Isak penalty
“I have a massive library of clips of pulls and tugs of other teams too, we can get into that”
I fucking love my gaffer man 😭
I grew up on Mourinho and Ferguson doing this to Wenger repeatedly and losing my head every single time so for Arteta completely reverse trend and make us the piss boilers has given me more joy than Wengerball ever did.
I get Chelsea fans from that era now.
Everyone moaned when the top six was so far ahead of the rest… the gap is far too big and it was impossible for the other teams to compete.
Now, the Premier League has never ever been more competitive. Anyone can beat anyone. Tactically it’s never been better. Every game is competitive. It’s the best the league has ever been.
Oh but now it’s not entertaining?
Bottom line is, people love to moan.
This is the best the Premier League has ever been. Get Manchester City out of here and next season will be even better.
Ken Friar is Arsenal.
In 1946, a 12-year-old local boy kicked a ball under manager George Allison’s car outside Highbury. Allison was impressed by his enthusiasm and gave him a matchday messenger job. That kid started full-time in the box office in 1950 and never left.
Without Ken Friar, Arsenal would not be the same today.
He rose through the ranks to become club secretary, then managing director in 1983. For nearly two decades he ran the day-to-day club, negotiated contracts, protected Highbury’s character, and kept Arsenal’s values intact through changing times.
When the club needed a new home, he stepped away from the MD role to drive the Emirates Stadium project with Danny Fiszman — delivering one of the most complex builds in football history on time and on budget.
He described Arsene Wenger as like a younger brother and said he didn’t think they could have built the Emirates without the success and stability Wenger brought.
In 2020, after more than 70 years, he stepped down from the board and was named life president.
There’s a bridge named after him outside the Emirates and a statue of that boy chasing the ball.
Ken Friar didn’t score the goals or lift the trophies. He was the constant — the living memory, the steady hand, and the quiet guardian of everything Arsenal is supposed to stand for.
He spent 80 years of his life at Arsenal Football Club. From 1946 to today.
Ken Friar, thank you.
