Jonathan Wilson

What did you make of the Haaland versus Gabriel dynamic, Jonathan?

um but if you're talking about the incident in the second half then gabriel should have been sent off he's exceptionally lucky not to be sent off and that could have a decisive impact not not yeah there wasn't excessive force i mean this is a thing being used i don't know apparently there never is i know it doesn't matter yeah exactly it's like are these things red cards or not so apparently you can't put you can't put a scrunchie off off somebody's hair but you can

throw your head at somebody now.

It's just trying to keep up with all these things because for a long time it was like, oh, you can't raise your hand or you can't do this, you can't do that.

And always one of the things you were told you can't do is throw your head at another guy's head.

Probably, you know, with good reason.

I'm sorry, Jonathan, I don't know if you saw him post-match, but Holland was asked about that and he goes, he wasn't actually even asked why he didn't go down.

He just said it.

He said, you know, I think they said, if you'd gone down, would it have been?

And he said, oh, well, you know, maybe, but I'm never going to go down unless somebody, you know...

actually attacks me I'm never going to go down so it's a very old school vibe that not many players have that idea in their heads yeah well that's his that's his leads up thing isn't it he kind of you can't show pain whatever you do don't don't show pain he's a Yorkshireman

He's a Yorkshireman.

That's what they're going to say.

There's not a chance.

chance in hell Arsenal are going to sack Mikel Arteta for coming second and maybe get into a final of a Champions League clubs want a simple life they want as few problems as possible when they've got a manager who consistently has them in or around the top do you know what's worse than finishing second?

finishing third finishing fourth finishing eighth as they did in the season where he came in in the middle of and that's the fear that they have no idea what the next person is is it definitely going to be a steely eyed winner who will 100% get them over the line it could be just a Homer Simpson guy like Arnold Slott who comes in and everyone calms down and just gets one season out of this next man maybe it is Arnold Slott himself I don't know whether they should sack him is a different thing whether they will they definitely won't

There's no way Mikel Arteta will not be managing Arsenal.

Maybe.

Yeah, that'd be nice to see.

But we'll leave it on that note.
