He predicted us to win the league...has done for 3 years now.

Clearly being told by his employer to push the title race narrative, which is completely normal and happens every year

Quite clearly being told to push narrative of the title race by sky.

He's had us as his league winners 2 or 3 years in a row now.

Exactly! The games going how we want it not how they want it

I think Arteta is the happiest man in the stadium right now.

Full control, we don't need to do anything crazy. And we will be frustrating Chelsea, and also Gary Neville which is a bonus.

Thank you! Sooooooo obvious that we want the game to play out this way.

What did they do though. We're in 2nd gear and Chelsea have to play the cards before we do.
I'd like us to play higher up the pitch but it's hardly a surprise we are playing this way.

They also have a goal post right wing. I'm not worried

All any player or manager has to do to be taken seriously is talk about the decisions that were bad but went in their favour as well.

I don't understand why none of them can see that!

Should we loan in Smith Rowe to cover Merino and get him the premier league medal he deserves? All this was kick started by that Chelsea win on Boxing day many years ago and he was a huge part of it...

Is it time James badly injures himself again, for the greater good? #arsecastextra

here’s how I’d go against Kairat:

Kepa
Salmon-Salmon-Salmon-an actual Salmon
Mikel Arteta - Ray Parlour
Salmon
Sagoe Jr-Havertz-Saka

I've changed my mind on this 😂
