Arteta is the reason Arsenal bottled the title.

Nah mate ... ultimately titles are won and lost ON the pitch ... yes the manager sets up the team, dictates tactics and makes the substitutions ... but you still need the leaders on the pitch ...

Give you one example ... we were coming into the run in back in 2016 with the Spuds hot on our arse ... we were away at United and went a goal down ... if we had lost that game I truly believe the shift in momentum might have cost us the title ... but who stepped up and headed us level from a corner? Captain Fantastic, Wes Morgan ... leading by example - as he did all season ...

And clubs are relegated for the same reason

It's a combination of both training staff and playing staff that gets the job done.

The main thing Arsenal fans should be concerened about is that Arteta's antics have a detrimental effect on the team and therefore results, as a player if you look over to the sideline and your manager is losing the plot, and in press conferences, the players will respond in kind.

Arteta is the reason Arsenal bottled the title because he's a little bitch that can't control his emotions and it then goes to his players.

<laugh>

Some ****in punditry that
 
And money first and foremost... the so called big clubs fans won't like thinking there isn't something special about them though.

Not necessarily mate ... you can win a Premier League title with a whole squad costing less than half what Liverpool paid for their title winning goalie ...

I believe it's already been done once before <whistle>

You spend money it's impossible to win anything without spending money.

Definitely had the other two factors in abundance.

...all relative mate ... our title winning team cost just short of £20 million ...

EDIT: Stand corrected- was our team that started at Man City that cost £20m whilst their's was £200 (we won 3-1) ... apparently our usual starting line-up that season was circa £28.8m ...

You just hate everything Arsenal, soooo
Only since Arteta turned up, he epitomises everything I hate about modern football. I'm embarrassed and annoyed everytime I see Paqueta throw himself on the floor, I don't think I could watch if all 11 of our players did it at every opportunity like players under Arteta do.
