Switches me off to the club even more than I already was. And football in general. I really can't think of a single person at that club, or any, to be admired. Can you?

Tell me, who is it the kids are supposed to be looking up to today? Is there one name from all of them?
What's ridiculous about sacking someone who is surplus to requirements right now? Or do you think the club should just pay the mascot for doing sweet FA? I mean they pay millions out to Ozil for doing sweet FA.

Do I admire anybody at the club? Well I admire Arteta for taking on the mess of a job and doing a pretty good job of it so far. I admire the likes of Auba, Saka and Ceballos for putting in good quality performances on a regular basis. I admire Maitland-Niles for his improvement.

The kids should be looking up to players like Saka, he's a great role model for young aspiring kids who want to make it at Arsenal and break into the National team No?
