He had me with "Non Negotiable" !!!!! Bloke is Arsenal 'Through and Through' !! When you look at how he has changed the club from top to bottom since he came in, it absolutely baffles me how there are still "Arteta out" Doubters ??? Even if he doesn't win a trophy this man has put us on the right path and is an ARSENAL Legend for that alone !!!

Waited for the United Liverpool game to end. Man of culture.

Mourinho saw this coming in the 21 season after beating Arsenal 2-0 with Spurs. He said, "against a team that is probably going to be criticised because of the points and the position on the table are not good, but I have to say, very good team, very good coach. A team with different ways to play. A team that is able to change during the game. A team that is able to build with 4 or 5, with the centre backs or the midfield players dropping. A team with a lot of work".

your 'my chest is here, hit me guys' impression was top notch. Had to go back and listen to it again to know if you'd clipped the audio or performed an oscar worthy Arteta. Bravo good sir

Since the day Mikel walked through the door at Arsenal, he understood exactly what the club needed. We might not always agree with him, but it’s safe to say, that he has the clubs best interest at heart. My favorite moment was at the beginning of this season, when he was asked, how he reflected on last season and he said, he looked in the mirror and asked himself, if he’s still the right person for the job. To him, it’s not just about his personal success. He loves this club. And that’s why we as fans feel connected to him. He understands our love for Arsenal, because he loves the club just as much as we do.

this is 10 times better than any type of content you’ll see on AFTV

Great analysis. 👌🏽 One Arteta interview that stood out for me the most was when we lost 1-0 to Everton last year and in the post match press conference he said something fascinating like: “I want the boys to know I love them now more than I did 3 hours, a week or a month ago.” Just goes to show how much responsibility he is willing to take to ensure the team’s morale remains strong at all times. Top manager. 👏🏽

If anyone says Alex isn’t a nerd, I will call that person a LIAR.

I dont think ive ever love a manager more than ive loved this bloke

Another thing which I think is interesting..when in the summer before pre season of the 22/23 season odegaard was interviewed (I THINK it may have been optus sports not 100%) but he was saying the training the guys are doing is insane and when it comes off they'll be playing some next level football he said it might take up to 6 months or so to pull it off I remember him saying too..I'll try find the interview and I'll reply back to my own comment when updated

“Change the Culture” , “Non-negotiables” and “Ruthless and Dominant” He had me locked tf in, Super Mik Arteta.

This Arteta guy has more years of success to come for the Arsenal...

this man and the club went through so much and I'm so happy where we've been the past year and a half

What made the team grow fast is Acceptance Taking Responsibility By Accepting you aren't strong yet Having players who are ready to learn.. Having no players who think they know all Arteta is building a young squad that will be the PRIME arsenal.. some People especially pundits till date say he can't win with that young squad but with time that young squad will be back to back monsters in their prime

I've got FA football coaching badges, and I can tell you that even at youth level, tailoring training sessions to fix weaknesses in the team is incredibly challenging and difficult. It is not an easy job to do so I never really criticise Arteta as I know how it feels.

There's no other person on the planet better suited for the job than Arteta. And the reason is simple. He's an Arsenal fan. He's 110% passionate and committed to the club. Pep in the interview where he mentioned that when Arteta was still at City, he always celebrated goals and wins against every club except against Arsenal. Pep said it's because Mikel is an Arsenal fan at heart just like he is a Barcelona fan at heart and that if he were an assistant manager somewhere, and the opportunity comes for him to return to Barcelona to become Head Coach, he wouldn't hesitate. And so he always knew that Arteta would leave City one day to coach Arsenal.

You, Sir. Are a legend. I hope to make it to London someday to sit down and have a pint with you after a game. Incredible insights, and lucidity. You have an uncanny ability to make us follow your train of thought at the end of which, almost always, you have a solid insight or point to make. You stand out from all other content creators in the football space, as it feels like you are trying to add value and not just blabber on and create mindless mumble music to mentally masturbate to after the Arsenal games. It's your videos I keep waiting for after every game. Cheers, Alexander! Keep doing exactly what you're doing!

me and my best friend still reference his first interviews even now. it's like you said he's had a grand vision for a long time and he's been showing it bit by bit and guiding us along. I look at what the players do now and wonder how long Arteta has had these ideas. I look at the signings and listen to what he says and it feels like he knew all along

Very well said and agreed. I loved Arteta as a player, but had my doubts about him as manager until I heard his first interview. As you said, he described exactly what needed to be done and continues to execute on his mission to make Arsenal truly world class. He has remade the club culture from top to bottom and all that needs to happen now, imho, is for many of the fans to catch up with it, relax a bit and enjoy this amazing and beautiful ride. He truly is at the leading edge of progressive football, a Basque, modern Rinus Michels, if you will. I absolutely love his approach to football. On a side note, I just wish Klopp were staying at Liverpool longer, as the rivalry between Arteta, Klopp and Pep makes the league truly epic and would've made the coming years wondrous for fans of the beautiful game. As a fellow football nerd (since 1978), you just got a new subscriber. Thanks and be well !

another banger vid...this guy never misses.

Brilliant Piece, This Will AGE WELL! ESPECIALLY THE LAST BIT

I was convinced about Mikel when I watched our games in his first season. I immediately saw what he was trying to do. My friend almost tore my head off when I wouldn't join the #ArtetaOut bandwagon. Even if we don't win the league this season, I still want him as our manager for many years.

The jump in clarity of communication when we went from Emery to Arteta was enormous. That first interview won me over so fast and I think it was so important because we as fans were starving for a form of responsibility.

Perfect timing

Just wanna show my appreciation for ya vids mate, keeps me sane some days after a hard work day. Always an easy and enjoyable watch and you seem like a lovely bloke! Cheers for fanning the flames between game days matey!

This is your best video yet! It's Paddy's Day, I've been on it since 2pm on a cocktail of Guinness and Jameson. I've just puked my ring up but you've made the world make sense once again. Your analysis (with your co conspirators of course) of the club, players and games is second to none. To think I wasted years listening to the cock wombles on AFTV! We, as supporters, are blessed to have pundits like you representing our club. x

I absolutely love your videos and this might be my favourite. Like many Arsenal fns, I backed Arteta and of course we had our moments where we are (almost) done with him but everything he has said and done, he has meant. Now I would go to war for Arteta if he called Arsenal fans to fight.

Much better then AFTV

He doesn't get the credit he deserves. I don't know if he's disliked because he's always butting heads with the referees and being blunt with the media. He deserves as much praise as the media gives to Xabi Alonso.

Alex you’re fair to humble man, you really understanding your undertaking of the game

There is no doubt about the journey being the fun part. Its why watching the youngsters come through the academy is so fun. We get to see the growth, the maturation of a player. It is the same with team building. We have followed the growth and maturation of this team. We know that this team is NOWHERE near its peak, really. And they are learning in front of our eyes. We can see it all so clearly. Like you, I was always a supporter of Mikel, and like you there was a point where I was also running out of reasons to keep him in late 2020. So, what has happened since has been wonderful. He has already built one of the best sides I have seen in my 50 years as an Arsenal supporter, and I honestly believe there is so much more to come. Of course, trophies need to come, and within the next 15 months or so ideally. But if we just keep moving in a positive direction, I have no doubt that the trophies and accolades will arrive.

Arteta has borderline genius IQ we are so lucky he loves this club so much… he can see so many things others can’t, and can visualise improvements everywhere. Must be said - we are also lucky the board could see this too when he had the teething problems in year 1, they stuck with him, and that probably gave him extra loyalty appreciation and determination too. What a great time for Arsenal fans ❤😊👍

I love your videos, so in depth and time spent analysing and I am so glad to subscribe to you!

Those are some crazy hours. Top analysis as always 🎉

Amazing. Just amazing and well put together!

Wonderful video. True Arsenal fan. Great to hear

What a fantastic video 🎉 THANKS!!!! 🙏🏻

This is a good episode. Cheers

Love your content 😍✅, detail matter and you bro got it right

Just absolutely legendary content. Thank you Alex.

Quality videos my guy. COYG❤️🇨🇷

I understood mikel's identity while we were playing in europa 20/21 where he showed his dynamic approach. He didn't have the strong team in prem so he parked the bus. But once he got his players, he turned arsenal into a force to reckon with! To the extent we had 18 points jn europa league group stage and 16 points in league after playing a lot more games

Mr Moneypenny, you have shown your quality, Sir.

Absolutely fantastic! Really great content all the time and so funny!

spot on

"In any other context, that is stalking" 🤣🤣

I don’t know if am the only one but your solo videos hit the hardest ❤

Good content mate. Enjoyed it 👍

Ive waited this video from you so so long 😂 and u nailed it

Yes , Watch every single Arteta interview ever and you learn alot , i always remember when he first said "i want to play in the opponent's half" always stuck with me , till it final happened.

Well said Bro 👏 👌

I'm proud to say I never called for his head. Even in the darkest days I was just always convinced it was going somewhere.

Good vid, sensible assessment 👍

Unbiased analysis. Well done

Arguably the 3rd best manager in the premier league this season and last season, pep and klopp been in the job many years compared to arteta.. I didn't want him at arsenal and wondering how last season arsenal were brilliant but this season looked rubbish, putting party right back etc and no attacking or pressing but arsenal fell short because run out of gas last season and maybe just maybe arteta had a plan to save energy for the second half of the season this year. But for he's first job and hats off arteta has made a massive difference to arsenal so has my respect

My friend their isn’t a video you haven’t done that is truly stunning analysis truly when I see u upload it’s like a grandma going to church like the things you say and you are going places seriously

brilliant analysis

Arteta was convincing from day 1. He clearly laid out a plan and expectations for the club. The process has worked as evident in the development and improvement of the team each season. He's delivered everything he promised regarding building the culture he wanted, reconnecting the fans to the club and bringing this club back to winning trophies. The latter will happen. We are on course for major trophies. All we need is just time to play out

Stunnin video 🙏

Arteta reminds me of Captain America. An ancient man at the wrong time with valor and honour.

Shedded tears after the Porto game. COYG!

Love you bro

Gotta love when Tdk Alex uses his study of theatre to impersonate our favorite football icons 🎉

Loved that

great video today

Just when I thought my love for this club and all it represents had reached its limit!!

What does the different Knock sound like? I guess it sounds like Arteta confirming with his knuckles if the premier League trophy is actually gold. 🏆😂

Mate, i hope u’ll have the opportunity to talk with mikel in the near future.

If we ever win any big silverware or not under Arteta - we gotta Give him that he put us back where we belong: At the top! And also Give a big thanks to the board and Kroenke for backning him and givning us financial room to spend!!🎉

3:35 it was fair overall we where playing a style of football that our then current players could not actually play. I remember it as that was the cause for so many playing from the back mistakes, which was the only reason i wanted him to go as. as we all know managers are stubborn and do not change

Bro, that Athletic video, they scratched the surface.

Areta would be proud/pleased. 👌🏿👌🏿👍🏿👍🏿

These two will come good for us during this title race & UCL charge

I magine if I count also the hours I have watched your videos together with artetas videos? :D

Great impression! And I’m Spanglish so I know

As a fellow Kronke sports team fan of the Colorado Avalanche I started following the gunners. The hate for the kronkes is very common, but to me it seems they do care about winning and do it with different tactics then others are used to and its fun to watch!

this channel is so devoted to arteta, i hope he doesn't dissapoint us all

What best is Arteta have been planned all these before he retired as a footballer. He want to gain experience he went to City and all in his head is to managing his beloved club one day. Dreaming what he can do for the club. Thats why when he been criticised he calm, he smile and patient. Only a good husband can do that for his annoying wife. Bc he loves Arsenal.

I love your videos

Thanks for summising 240 hours of Mikel so consisely

4 years ago, we were competing for 4th -> looking back down the years on KZfaq makes you appreciate the progress. I think Man City will win it again this year, but Arsenal are coming.

They good times are back!

I see nothing bad in drawing Arsenal with Bayern as long as we want to win the champions league, we should be ready to meet with any club in the world and win them. Good luck to my darling club Arsenal 😘💘

DIFF KNOCK!

Oh.. The Internet doesn't do apologies, and luckily for you Carling doesn't do YT Subscribers I am afraid but this will make your day. Kai Havertz admitted he was doing an agreed 9. you was right, I protested this but was wrong... I am here to be a gentleman and inform you such. Fair play on that Great call.

Honest question, who else wanted Mikel before Emery? I can say I was one those people, don't ask me why though lol.

A potential GOAT…I wouldn’t bet against it

Need more subs ong

Arterta non-negotiable attitude transformed us. He was ruthless in getting rid of Aubameyang. He was our captain but he was not fit as a leader. He was busy enjoying a flamboyant London lifestyle. The only reason we made Auba captain was because he was our only star striker, and we knew we couldn't sign anyone better at that time.

Pod cast The 3 Arsenal Amigos. Only one is any use. I wonder which one that could be.

❤

All we needed to see was Mikel when he was at city and the disgust in face watching what Arsenal became

I didn’t think he needed explaining. But okay.

Just saw Arsenal line up against Brighton

With Arteta... Have we successfully gained an Aire to Wenger's legacy in a manner befitting long term concrete foundations for this kind of football, that may even Emulate some of Wenger' later years success! (Statement not question) that would make the rest of the league really salty

2024. 2025. 2026. 2027 Pep. Arteta. Arteta. Arteta Klopp. Pep. Others Arteta. Others Others

I’m interested to hear what you think of the very negative “Arsenal fan” content providers who are spouting the most vile crap and appear to want the Arsenal to lose. Just wondering

For some reason, I don’t think the media gives Mikel enough credit for what he has done. He is always Pep’s apprentice in the media and we have to thank Pep for what Mikel has achieved.
