To get to the business end of the season, knowing that it's the chase for perfection results wise.
And if you do manage to do this, you get the chance to lift titles.
And I think when they can get that into their players, it becomes better as opposed to a manager.
I'm not saying this is what Arteta is.
But it's almost like from the outside, at least, it looks like he's firefighting instead of telling the players how exciting it is to be involved in what is an incredible opportunity to win a title.
Yeah, he does.
But the touchline stuff, it's 90 minutes of antics, isn't it?
I think how they are behind the scenes is more important to me personally.
I think that point itself is like a perfectly valid one.
But then there are players who are playing for Arsenal who've only been there this season.
There are players for Arsenal who haven't been tracking the club for the last 21 years.
And I always used to find this when, for example, it'd be like a tournament in England playing against Germany and someone says, oh, England haven't beaten Germany in 30 years.
And you're saying that to like 21-year-olds.
Like, why does it matter to them?
All they're doing is trying to achieve the goal that's in front of them.
So I understand Arsenal's history from that standpoint.
But as Zubi Mendy, for example, walks out at the Etihad on the weekend, he's not thinking about like the invincible seasons in 2004.
But what's that got to do with the performance on the pitch from the players?
I'll be honest with you.
So I retired in 2020.
