    There’s a lot more behind the scenes YouTube content as well now post-Wenger. Just have to move with the times I guess, I’m sure Amazon probably would have funded one of our signings this summer so it’s all just part of the game now I think. We were so far behind the curve commercially 10 years ago.

    Seriously though, you can’t have watched the Spurs one and not thought “fuck me I’m glad that’s not us”

    I didn't watch it and thought that anyway, stuff like this is embarrassing.

    So todays the day, started watching the first episode

    So far, doesn’t tell you a lot apart from Saka boasting to Balogun that he got mobbed by a load of people when he went into Waitrose for a meal deal

    I’ll give Arteta credit, he isn’t quite the passive aggressive prick who is cold with the players that I took him for. I think his team talks fall on deaf ears but he does seem genuinely supportive of his players.

    Same with Josh Kroenke, the guy is a complete Wally but at the same time he does at least seem to be involved on a day to day basis and has a personal relationship with both the coach and the players.

    Those three losses does seem to largely come down to Covid issues and having makeshift line ups where the players don’t seem to know who is responsible for what (which is partly poor tactically on Arteta’s part and partly players not really communicating with each other - Mari and Xhaka exchanging words with each other about how the offside line is meant to hold to deal with Lukaku)

    Episode 4 - Arteta really showing his bizarre passive aggressive tendencies in regards to Auba. Telling Mark Gonella that he keeps a book of all these player indiscretions, how it was handled so he has something to refer back to.

    So in Arteta’s mind it was punishment for being late to training and being late to training six months earlier. There is no impetus from anyone else to enforce this action other than Arteta, but he gets the team in and says “we have decided” etc as if it was anything other than a unilateral decision.

    He really needs to go, even if we get in the players we need….he can’t be trusted he’s severely mentally unstable.

    If Arteta cant progress this season after 3 plus years and probably more than £400m spent then he really needs to F-off anyways

    Agree with this. Top 4 or bust this year.

    So...you're grumbling that the manager is unilaterally in charge of squad discipline. Isn't that part of the role of manager?

    The issue is not whether he takes on decisions unilaterally is that he does so and pretends it has been decided as part of a consensus. If you’re going to take a decision like that, own it

    There was more to it than that. They don't go into detail but there were obviously a series of things where Auba wasn't toeing the line.
    For whatever reason the relationship between manager and player broke down. Arteta couldn't back down and retain authority.
    Only option was to get rid.

    I do think Arteta's team talks are weird, but the players seem to respond to them so whatevz.
