Mikel Arteta: Aston La Vista To The Title?

[SA Gunner]

This not celebrating stuff I consider nonsense. Mikel is a long term planner and probably had us in his sights a long time ago. He played the part during his time away and that could have just been to help his cause.

The question we should be asking ourselves is what happens when Pep retires or moves on. Has Arteta already planned for that stage, and how he fits into the picture?

I think it's legit tbh, I remember when clips surfaced where Pep and Wenger got into it and Arteta during that exchange was quiet and didn't get involved. We see right infront of our eyes how animated and hopped up Arteta really is.

I think we as a forum mocked it as some beta male reaction or something at the time, but it seems to be out of respect. For all the criticism I sent his way I never doubted intentions for the club tbh.

He's an ambitious man I am sure he has planned for City and Barcelona, nothing wrong with that especially if he's progressed the club by the time he leaves. He probably has more than 1 reign at the club as he's so young.

Pep and Wenger got into it ? Was that the league cup final defeat.

I can't even remember it mate,. Many clips like this trying to portray Arteta in a negative light were popping up when he was doing bad, this was one of them.

Wasn't even bad but obviously you know how internet is.

Each time we scored a goal during Mikel's first couple seasons.

Only first couple of seasons?

Something got deleted?

I can't see him going to City from Arsenal. He has built a title challenging young team, why the hell he would go to a club he hasn't played for as a captain, and has much worse reputation and history than Arsenal? Makes no sense.

I can see him going to Barcelona or PSG in the years to come, but I expect that taking quite a long while. He has a perfect thing going at Arsenal, one of the top clubs in the world. He can try to make EPL history, the best league in the world. He has tens of years in his management career left. He is 40 years old.

In the video it looks like Peps celebrations came to a premature stop when he turned around and saw Arteta firmly sat down and sulking. Lol

I don't really get the not celebrating against your former club as a sign of respect thing anyway.

If you or your side score you're going to be happy whether you show it or not. As long as you're not celebrating in a sticking your tongue out, disrespectful way, I don't see the harm.

You're drawing more attention to yourself by not celebrating anyway, so it's a bit on an ego thing I feel.

Pep is also only 52, he's 20 years off retirement himself.

I did a search for my posts containing "Arteta". Honestly impressed by my takes back in the day. I was worried since he hadn't managed us but never against him when he actually came here.

God tier stuff

Mustafi the fecking c unt. Makes my blood boil.

Bet Pep the freak felt betrayed in some way, when Arteta didn't celebrate with him when they scored v us.

When players score against their former team and they don’t celebrity, you don’t think that it’s meant as a sign of respect, but rather an ego thing?

Im not sure I’ve ever heard that view before, I’m curious.

Not celebrating doesn’t mean you aren’t happy to score/win, but that you don’t want to gloat when you have a positive history with your opposition. I always thought that was kind of a straightforward gesture.

Actually made use of his subs today. Who are you and what have you done to Mikel Arteta?

Good stuff, though. Anyone else felt that, despite both teams having good intensity for spells, they we're holding off a little bit?

Felt like we were getting the measure of each other and that this wasn't really the match to go full fire in your belly type of energy.

Yep, actually right from start didn't feel Saka, xhaka weren't 100% bothered. They weren't interested in most 50-50s.

I was surprised he went with Tomiyasu for White so early in the United game, didn't feel like something he'd usually do but was desperately needed. Supposed he's helped by having better options. In the past Cedric might've been the only alternative.
