Let's take the word deserve out of it. Arsenal lost because they failed to convert their chances. Simples. End of. Let's all move on.

It's like saying a team should have won because despite missing open goals and having the lack of technical skill to put the ball into the back of the net that because they could that somehow they have some form of moral superiority in being the winner. Sounds ridiculous dont it?

Arteta is saying that on another day they would have converted their chances or those chances should have been converted. But they didn't therefore deserve has nothing to do with it.

Havertz missing a chance within the 6 yd box doesn't mean you deserved to win.

This provokes another question, as fans we assume that the team with the higher possession and the better chances somehow deserves to win a football game. Why is that?

This is absurd in my opinion.

The objective of a football game is to score more goals than the other team!

No one ever bothers to challenge this. Why does Arteta think his team deserved to win. More chances? More Possession? XG?

There's also this forgotten classic, his villainous role in the classic Bernard & the Genie.

I know the original article gave a nod to the Johnny English series but they were really down to the captivating ads that Atkinson did in the early 1990s.

So let's celebrate Atkinson's career by giving a mention to these gems also:

Of course he will always be remembered for one role and that is Blackadder. Iconic.
