"The journey continues" - Mikel signs extension until 2025

The boys aren't going to let him hear the last of it. Smh.

Daz

Someone needs to tell him he's Ken-ough!

flobaba

I fantasize nightly of a huge rift developing between him and Pep. A massive unquenchable hatred between the two managers. I believe it would be the marker of us starting to surpass them.

And I'd quite enjoy the accompanying narrative as well I bet. They'd all hate us so much. I would absolutely love it!

KingslandBarge

was the theme to pretend he's waiting for the missus to finish getting ready? Gaffer looks top for any age.

lorddulaarsenal

Details man.

Confirms Nelson is a left sided player

HomeSteak

lorddulaarsenal You think? Or was it just for that match? I mean if he is a left sided player...then what a fuck up it was giving him another contract. That would mean we went another summer without buying a Saka sub and of course, with Nelson being always injured and with Martinelli, Trossard, ESR all playing there...it means Nelson will never play for us lol. Not that he played that much before...but still.

banduan

Nelson not playing for us is down to him getting crocked every bloody time.

Nelson can play on both wings albeit left might be his preference

KingslandBarge

Haven't fact checked, but slowly curing multiple season stretch of trauma. No excuses for different stages of development either, they have ripped up blueprint several times over the last three seasons and thrown a lot of money around.

This is not a surprise.

Bar Man City, from day 1 (when we beat Utd on Jan 1st 2020) Arteta at Emirates has set up his teams so well against our top 6 rivals both tactically and mentally.

Never complacent or lacklustre. Maybe yesterday first half was the worst I’ve seen it against a top 6 rival at home not named Man City under Arteta.

Clrnc

KingslandBarge Think one of the United game was not under Arteta.

Commentator mentioned if we won yesterday if would only be the 2nd time we won 3 consecutive games agianst United at home.

Clrnc Think one of the United game was not under Arteta.

Definitely was. We beat them 2-0 in either his first or second home game in charge, Granit Xhaka scored from distance - from memory, De Gea should have done better, think Pepe scored the other one.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

RocktheCasbah
You are both right.

Think one of those results was under Emery. Arteta drew 0-0 at Emirates I think with Man Utd in 2020/2021

Edit : we did beat Man Utd 3-1 in April 2022 when we were going for top 4 when Xhaka scored that belter and Bruno missed that pen

So he has beaten them 4 times at Emirates

RocktheCasbah

So, the Xhaka goal I was thinking of was under Emery as you alluded to Sicario, and we also beat United 2-0 on New Year's day 2020. Check it out, Sokratis scored!

We’ve got the best manager in the world. No doubt in my mind

Sicario2 - Tier 1

I love Arteta (although I do criticise him from time to time ) but I wouldn’t even say he’s in the top 3. He needs to win a major honour before he can even come into the conversation.

1) Pep
2) Klopp
3) Ancelloti

lorddulaarsenal

It’s just a matter of time - Arteta is still a colt

I noticed how hard Saliba, Gabriel and White were all running to try and get back for the 5v1 🥹 they were all sprinting at full pelt. Thank god they didn't score that.

Qwiss

Panda it was a let off but TBH we deserved that because the way they ended up with 3 on 1 was pure fluke.
