Arteta is the man. Anyone who wanted him out is not a real arsenal fan. *A fan as of 1999

[@harryrob8221]

He is a very intelligent and tactically astute manager, but definitely not indispensable. As long as possible, he should be given the opportunity to achieve greatness. But as soon as he loses his touch, he should be replaced.

I didn't want Mikel anywhere near the club! I thought he was an underwhelming 'yes man' recruit for the kroenkes. His handling of the Auba situation was the big turning point for me, the way he transformed the toxic culture, standards and the general perception of the club is truly remarkable. Win draw or lose i actually enjoy watching my team and i have a sense of pride whenever the players walk on to the pitch which is something i haven't felt in a very long time. Mikel is already a success in my eyes now go cap it off with a major trophy! Big shout out to the kroenkes for overseeing Mikel's vision and backing him to fullest

Arsenal have always had class, have always been at the top tier, and led so many positive innovations in football. Michael has continued that tradition. I'm sure success is coming. If it doesn't, it's an absolute blast competing well with the best. Winning is the bonus. Nice one Roger.

[@mikegold440]

Never watched Rog before, but I completely agree with you.. Mikel is so smart with what he lets out ina interview he is def a tough interviewee, however you can tell Mikel gravitated towards Rog aswel asa result of all that great interviewer energy stuff! ..contributing to a perfect interview ! Everything about Mikel and Arsenal fully makes sense after watching this. #ArtetaBall is what Cruyff was for total football.. he didn’t invent it.. but he sure as will take his dream through the stratosphere.. and will not only influence the club he’s managing! They won’t talk about Pep and Xavi for nowhere near aslong as they’ll study the mind of Mikel Arteta! 🙇

[@shegelee]

Arteta is a book we all should study. I never believed we would get here back then when Wenger signed him from Everton. We love you Super Mikel Arteta. Win the league for us this season pls.

[@deslynham3170]

Arteta is a book for plastic fans and for people who want to pursue a career in failure. Are you going to the Chelsea game tomorrow?

[@Ohisapparel]

What exactly is your point? Don't be bluntly cruel with your words! Stamford Bridge is Arsenal's home in recent years. Recent history has it so!

[@Mazi-uo7lu]

My highlight, when Mikel said something along the lines of - If any player left it's because "I failed to bring out the best in them cos that's my job as a manager" - He's a gem. I rarely bother to watch Mikel's interviews but this one got me hooked thanks to the Interviewer

Clearly I’ve missed a trick. Never heard of Men in Blazers and Rog. This popped up on my home page as I am a life long Arsenal supporter. Simply a brilliant interview. Have now subscribed on You Tube and Spotify. Just a joy to listen to thoughtful well researched questions, put by someone whose own passion is worn on his sleeve (not sure about the sweatshirt, even though I expect it cost a lot). As for Mikel, it took a few false starts since Arsène left, but we have our Mr Arsenal, a person you need if you want to compete with the best.

It's difficult to listen to Mikel Arteta and not love him! Transforming the Arsenal culture so smoothly through conscious daily efforts. Nothing impressed as much as his transformation of Granit Xhaka from fans' rebel to one of fans' favorite! That's how genuine managers roll. Mikel Arteta is an amazing man with a personality that is difficult to "unlove".
