Mark Chapman

Hyvin nopeasti ja lopulta, olen huomannut ettei sinä ole tutustunut koko Southamptonin fanbaseen, mutta olit puhunut klubista. Jos tämä, ja sanon, että tämä on iso jos, jos tämä olisi jatkuva johtajalle johtajalle, joka olisi siirtänyt tämän klubin ympärille, luuletko fanit, että se olisi jatkuva dilemma?

This is the Monday Night Club with Mark Chapman on the Football Daily Podcast.

Täällä on vain... Oikeastaan, missä olet Andros? Missä maailmassa olet tällä hetkellä? Olet aina yhdessä kansainvälisessä paikassa. Olen Thailandissa, Kanchanaburiissa. Hyvä. Missä olet viimeisenä? Meillä on kolme peliä jälkeen. Meillä on viisi johtajaa tämän viikon jälkeen ja neljä peliä. Oikeastaan. Voitko minä jatkaa kysyä teidän kokemuksenne? Ei, puhutaan Kanchanaburiista ja kaupungista.

Oh dear. Well, we'll leave that. We'll return to that subject on another Monday Night Club, maybe. We have to start with Sunday's game at the Etihad. Manchester City now three points behind Arsenal. Win at Burnley on Wednesday, and they will go top of the table. They will be level on points. They'll either have the same goal difference or a better goal difference, but they will have scored more, and therefore that will take them to the top of the table.

Let's do it from an Arsenal perspective, first of all. Because we had this email from Peter Gorey, and I think this is a really, really good email, because it also plays into the golf, so I quite like that. But Andros, he says, Hi all. It occurs to me that Arsenal are in a similar position to Rory McIlroy after 72 holes of last year's Masters. Famously, his caddie Harry Diamond said to Rory...

After he bogeyed the 18th and then it meant a playoff with Justin Rose, Diamond said to Rory, we'd have taken this at the start of the week. Similarly, I believe every Arsenal fan would have taken the current situation at the start of the season. Is that fair? You're wincing, but I quite like that comparison.

Vaikeasti, ettei Andros, jatketaan nyt Peterin e-mailin, ajattele, että sopimus voisi antaa arsofansille enemmän toivoa kuin loppu. Tietysti lopputulokset eivät anna heille toivoa, mutta heillä on aika paljon positiivista siitä, miten he sopivat.

But some of the psychology around this. Let me give you one stat here, Rory, which is absolutely astonishing. Since Mikael Arteta took charge of Arsenal in 2019, City have won the Premier League four times.

Mutta tuon ajan Arsla on mennyt enemmän päivän päällä. Kun sanoit neljä kertaa, pysyit ja ajattelin, että se pitäisi olla tavoite. Ei, 500 päivää. Se on dramaattinen vaikutus. Se on se, mitä se olisi ollut. He ovat olleet päällä Arslaa 537 päivää verrattuna kaupungin 453 päivään.

I've just given a perfectly valid and accurate start, and he's tried to come up with his own that sounds like he's made up. You don't always have to trump people. All right, I apologise. It's a very good start, Chappers, and it does illustrate a point. I suppose it's...

They've been miles off. The winners have finished on average 12 points clear of them. Yeah, but I would flip that and think of an Arsenal player, well, maybe this is the year where they do lose a close race. Yeah, but it's less about what, that stat is less about Arsenal psychologically and more focused on, right, City will feel that they've got them now.

Ja se näyttää niin, että kun he tiedättävät, mitä he tekevät kaksi rauhassa, he uskovat, että heillä on ne. Minusta kokeilut olivat vain, koska se on todella...

On that, as you brought that up. The discussion last night, Andros, was Wayne Rooney's point was, if he had been bought for 60 million and wasn't in a title decider, in inverted commas, that would affect his confidence without a shadow of a doubt. And he also wondered what it would do

Team's confidence, actually, in the sense of why is our expensive striker not playing? Now the flip of that

is a whole load of reaction from Arsenal fans that I've got in front of me. I'm a huge fan of Jokeres. He could never put in half the performance that Havertz does. The difference in the level of hold-up play between Havertz and Jokeres is crazy. Havertz will save our season. Victor Jokeres wouldn't have even been in that position. Jokeres could never find himself in the positions that Havertz finds himself in. Jokeres has charged at the goalkeeper all season and never got a goal out of it. Havertz did it once today and scored."

There are quite a lot of people comparing, and Jonathan Northcroft has done this in the Times Andros,
