Yeah, it's interesting because you're right, Arsenal two or three seasons ago were so exciting to watch in terms of that attacking verve.

And it's weird because it just feels, and he has been quite vocal about this, Arteta, saying that you can't win a Premier League playing that way.

He's identified that it's about the marginal gainset pieces, physicality, you know, being strong, hard to beat.

And it's proved the case.

They've won the title.

I do look at it now and think that

They are in such a strong position now, Arsenal, that they really have to take advantage of it.

I genuinely believe that.

I think they're so far down the line in terms of the road that their rivals have to travel.

They've got so much kind of work to be done, whereas Arsenal have got the bases right.

Of course, they've just won the Premier League.

But I do believe they can kick on.

You referenced that in terms of regularly being in the Champions League now.

When Arteta first arrived at Arsenal, they hadn't been in the Champions League for three seasons.

Now they will consistently now be in the last four of the Champions League.

I believe that.

Having said that, and I know a lot of people will make this point and it's a valid one, their run to the final was kind in terms of the teams that they were playing against.

They didn't meet any of the elite level teams.

And then you could also tag on there that

they played Manchester City as the elite level team in the Premier League three times.
