One of the arguments in support of Super League that "Nottingham Forest can spend 25 million on a player meanwhile Inter or Milan or whatever can not spend that much" just reeks of elitism, I mean the PL marketed its product and ensured good equity, why should they be criticised
You bring the league down to North London and you’ll be forever remembered as the manager who broke the torrid cycle of almost 2 decades and uplifted THE ARSENAL from the depths of hell.
November 2021, Conte accepts the challenge🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

So lets break it down, because you’ve subjectively classed the top 6 in overall manner instead of depicting the top 6 during 99-07.
Care to include Leeds:
3rd 99/00
4th 00/01
5th 01/02
Uefa cup/UCL SF during that period.
4 goals in 5 away games. Stick to Nba
20 - Mikel Arteta suffered his 20th defeat as Arsenal manager in the Premier League, in what was his 60th game - while Arsène Wenger didn’t register his 20th defeat with the Gunners in the competition until his 116th game. Gulf.
Wenger was more than established and built his name in France. Implemented the dietary methods at Nancy, moved on to Monaco won the league, also built a sustainable youth project, Final ECWC 92’ &UCL semis 94’. Approaches from Bayern in 94’
What has arteta done in football?
Against the reigning UCL winners, Riquelmé was unanimously the best performer on the day. The ball mastery and manipulation was a sight to behold. Also his accuracy in set pieces was pinpoint and troubled Casillas throughout the game.

You’ve literally contradicted yourself. Again i can play your nba esque artificial stats game. Case in point:
Villa 03/04 finished top 6
Henry scored 2 away goals - which included one of his notorious quick fk, since you haven’t got eyes to watch games ofc.
Ngl it’s funny seeing fans say loaning Saliba back to France was a master stroke, they tried to force him to Steve Bruce’s Newcastle and he refused for Marseille himself
Completed multiple dribbles, bamboozling Madrid and adopted Makelele. Created a number of chances, the range of passing was clear to see. Case in point the beautiful crossed field pass assist 5min in. Robbed off 2/3 assists in the game, especially towards the end.
Thierry Henry about Saliba : « They didn’t let him make one mistake. He was gone before doing a single mistake. He didn’t have the chance to fight for his spot ».
No lies
From a footballing stand point and taking my fan hat off, Ozil coming to a dysfunctional institution completely hampered his legacy. Should’ve gone City Bayern or Juve
After costing us a pen and game(NLD) ends in a Desmond,

in his wisdom thought, in fact the attackers were at fault for misfiring. The lack of self awareness from this don is mad. Worst part is he keeps getting away with it.
Auba at one stage had man thinking yh if you ain’t 1 shot 1 kill striker, you’re washed. He set the standards soo high which ended up him being a victim of his own success. Pure elite goal scoring ability.
They still try run the Suarez>Neymar agenda all because of a stat pad sesh in the business end of the season. Ney was the alpha during that period where Messi was injured. Unfortunately some won’t remember as you’ve got 2008 kids running FT.
“Aggression channelled in the proper direction”
Winning the ball back after losing it, not strolling around and feeling sorry for himself and left victimised by the referee’ decisions. Winner mentality
Isak technically speaking is much better than Mbappe. It ain’t close icl
Henry Mbappe comparisons is stereotypical & lazy analysis. Completely different players
