And if we're talking the psychology of this, this would be a real, real blow to the Arsenal project that they didn't get this done when it seemed so possible.

And yeah, when you talk about Bournemouth, the team that you know I've watched an awful lot of, and every time I watch Bournemouth, they draw.

Usually with loads of goals.

Yeah, losing to them.

And this is the other thing, is that Arsenal's approach has been, you know, very much based around set pieces in a fairly...

let's say, mechanical style of play, I'm always of the mind that creativity, ability to express yourself in midfield and attack are what makes the best teams in football.

And, you know, as an Englishman, and you too, as Irishman, are very aware of this, the sight of your players

brave boys playing against superior technical players passing the ball around and to the frustration of your team at tournaments and that appears to be something that Arsenal are going through at the moment it's just they can't find the inspiration and at this time of the season inspiration is what gets the job done and Guardiola

is capable of that inspiration.

Arteta has yet to prove that.

You're speaking here to somebody who got himself into terrible trouble for criticising North London forever.

I'm still getting the Instagram messages now from Arsenal fans.

So here we go.

Yeah, I mean, yeah.

OK, Arsenal.

I'll tell you one thing.

I'm on Arsenal's mailing list, yeah, for their email account.

And I keep getting these weird email titles from them.

So I'll read you a couple of them.

Raring to go again.
