Mikel Arteta HAS TO WIN THE PREMIER OR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE NEXT SEASON! | Arsenal Fan Show

And that's what Jesus don't do. I love Jesus, but he doesn't recognise those spaces in behind there. What, specifically to get into goal scoring positions or in general? No, to get into goal scoring positions. Ah, yeah, yeah, cool. That's what he doesn't do. I thought Jesus was being slandered incorrectly here. No, no, no, no, no, definitely not. I love Jesus and I backed that as well for the whole season. But my injuries, that's why I'm with S. I'm just as frustrated with Jesus as I am with Partey. But with that, yeah, I just thought that he was very... Big games, he stood up the most. Community Shields, he should have scored in that one there too. Gave John Stones and Ruben Diaz, like the tests that he's had when he's played... City at the Emirates as well. Got the assist for that one there too. And it's all come from a long ball. This, I want Ivan Toney because he will win goals and he can score goals. But Havertz is giving me the bare minimum in terms of us keeping our... Havertz is the best way to describe it. He is a floor raiser, not a ceiling raiser. His bare minimum will keep us still at a high level. He will still keep us at a high level. Whereas Ivan Toney and Ossieman, they raise the ceiling. When we're at our best with them, we can score four or five goals. With Havertz, he doesn't even need to score and Arsenal scoring against Man City and Liverpool and causing their defence... He's not a difference maker. You're saying because of brains and long legs? Kanate got sent off because of Havertz. He does press well. He does foul and all of them. As I said, I don't really want to praise a player for this, but these are attributes other people could do. Long legged, presence, feels human. Listen, all of us don't rate Havertz to that point, but he does have some good qualities. I get it. I get it. I hear it. I think it's a political one because at the end of the day, Mikel Arteta spent 65 million on a minute, so you need to know how he's going to tie into the team and stuff like that. So I don't think he's gone anywhere anytime soon. I think one of my issues with Arsenal, when we get away from the Jorginhos, the El Nenes, the Parteys, the big part players and we look at Declan Rice, there's a lot of guys who can play in a bunch of roles, but Declan Rice is the only ever present that's a central midfielder. Go on, Sammy. Question. So if you do get a Victor or Ivan, where's Havertz? Where does he go? The bench, man. Rotation. There's a lot of games to be played, isn't it? You could do your thing. You might even play centre mid sometimes. You're part of the squad, man. Until you show better, you're a squad guy, isn't it? 65 million for a squad guy is very crazy, but we're at where we're at. It's not true. I'm seeing Gattacutis on the bench. So you don't even play behind? You can, in certain games. Not when you're playing Liverpool, man. When it's a fight is when I would draw for Havertz, really. The Newcastle away, the chess match that was Liverpool. I don't really want to see you when it's just a footballing game. And of course, if we're naming Arsenal's strongest right now... So when he wants to brawl out, bring Havertz. Yeah, yeah. No, he's a fighter. Like Arteta said, he's someone that's always trying to defend the team or whatnot, man. I think you're being harsh, man. When we're playing against Lull Black... I am, absolutely. I think when we're playing... And he has popped up with some winners as well, for as much as he's a goal scorer. Champions League, he scored a couple there, too. Yeah, he is a Champions League winner. German international. So these big games again, he scored against Man City in the final. I mean, I'm telling you, he does have something to his game. It's not easy on the eye. This is where I can agree with S and DG and all the other Arsenal fans that are a bit sceptical about him. It's not easy on the eye. Because even a touch when, you know, for the penalty shout, that's a horrific touch. He should be doing much better in that situation. But the fact... It's kind of crazy because it does sound like we're praising the bare minimum. But to get into that situation... Let's be honest. We are praising the bare minimum. But Havertz is a delicate situation in itself. Yeah. To get into that situation, to understand where the space is and against these high level teams and to really cause himself a nuisance and get him behind it, even if it's something as little intangibles, raising up the crowd, pushing him behind, making him question about running behind. That will allow Uruguay to get more space. Eddie and Ketty are a much better finisher than Havertz, yeah? I'm sorry. We don't see none of that. He is, as I said, a floor raiser. Not a ceiling raiser. But our level... Last season without Jesus... Now I get what you mean by that. Last season without Jesus, we aren't doing what we did against Liverpool. We're not doing that. That's true. Unless Trossart goes up there and Trossart's not a physical target, man, to be doing all of that. You are right on that. I just accept Havertz for what he is. He's a utility man. I am praising you for the bare minimum of footballer we, in theory, on your CV should have. But we're at where we're at with him, man. If I'm honest, I want to see Fabio Vieira back, which I think has gone under the radar when we talk about injuries and stuff. And that's what I mean by Mikel Arteta. To go back to what we said in that, we know that we ain't got the finances of other clubs. And I do think the signings that have worked to those who haven't worked has been a lot better. But if we're looking at winning Premier League titles, we need a bit more. When you look at 20-odd million on Lokonga, 30-odd on Fabio Vieira, 65 million on Kai Havertz, my maths is terrible. But that's 100-odd million quid that might have got you Douglas Luiz, that might have got you Rafinha or Neto or even Mudrik at a point. I'm not saying that any of these guys would have worked out because hindsight's a wonderful thing. It's just resources could have been better deployed. It feels like we have a couple of players that can play everywhere and don't get twisted. You need multifunctional players. But what are they really? And I can't answer it. I'm asking you, what is Kai Havertz? Is he a striker? Is he a ten? Is he a left-sided eight? What is Kai Havertz? And that's what I can't answer. Don't ask me. Don't say he's a mascot. It's hard. OK, the best way to say it in terms of... Manchester United had Jason Park for all of their big games. You're sounding dangerous, you know. Jason Park, he was a key player for them and played a lot of big games and had certain roles. I can see where it's going, but I'm praying. I'm staying with the team, man. I'm praying, I'm praying. He's brought in for certain situations and certain games. I think that's what Kai Havertz will be in the long term for Arsenal. He's not going to be starting every week in, week out. He's going to be brought in for certain games, certain substitute appearances, and that's exactly what we're going to need him for. Defensively, he's very good. Can we agree? He always passes back. No, no, he is not. He puts in a shift. He makes fouls. He gives us height. Yeah. These are things that, again... Aerial threat, great. Yeah, we're not. If I'm praising him for this, the bar is on the floor and the casting net for recruitment and people that can do that is higher. But we're at where we're at with Havertz and that's genuinely what I see. I see that as someone that is clearly fairly intelligent, makes intelligent movements and all the others, but ain't a difference maker. Kai Havertz, again, a year from now, I might say sorry for everything I've said, but in the same way Declan Rice came in, Timba in a way, even Raya to a degree, I can see what you're bringing. If you're not raising it, you're putting little paprika on our meal. Kai Havertz ain't really doing that. And for me, Kai Havertz is an expensive project when we've got numerous of them. We need to turn Jesus into a goal scorer. We need to take Zachary Martinelli to the next level. And there's plenty of examples throughout the whole team, if I'm completely honest with you lot. So it's a weird one. I did ask my subscribers to ask me some questions to ask to you lot, yeah. And they're coming up. We've got a couple of things to go through before I let you lot get out of it, but we can't speak about what we're speaking about and simply put, would you lot make it a celebration? Police, I've got nothing more to say on it. I've done the videos and that, it's crazy really. Can't celebrate victory. When you got nothing bad to say about Arsenal in terms of what we're doing on the pitch, you always find other ways. That's all it is. It does feel like the narrative was there. The script was written in terms, if Arsenal lose this game or don't win, they will talk about everything that happened on the pitch. The lack of desire, the lack of cohesion, missing all these chances. They like to talk about that when things go bad. When things go good, dominated this Liverpool team who limited them to one shot on target, which is the lowest that they've ever had, ever, ever. And they want to talk about celebrations against this Jurgen Klopp team. A team that's been spanking us as well. Exactly. They just want to give as much media time as possible to this farewell tour that Klopp is giving. That's all it is. I don't think it's the Arsenal hating thing, but go on. No, it's also Arsenal hating, but the more that they hate us, they have to find other ways to hate us. Like celebration. They've been yappering about us celebrating for like, what, two seasons now. It's getting boring. It's actually getting boring. But they bring it up again against Liverpool. Why? I wish I had an answer because Jurgen Klopp, and I'm not knocking it because this is what it was about. Klopp was running the whole pitch against Everton, hugging Arsenal. Klopp's been doing it from when they had Sakho and them kind of players in and around their team. So I don't understand it really and truly. It feels like there's one rule for others and the next rule for us. But as George Graham used to say, we're Arsenal, we need to be dealing with being hated. And as Odegaard said, if you can't celebrate, when can you? And even when they're getting at our photographer, that man has been part of this thing for 30 years. We all know football, it's a family thing. And it's not just the players, it's everyone in and around that you're sharing these moments with. Why, what on God's green earth is wrong with that? If another person, I'm going to be honest, if an English manager, if an English captain did that at an English club, they will say, that's a proper captain. That's a proper club. I'm not making it about all of that stuff, but it's not making sense to me. And to be honest, **** celebration police, isn't it? What can I say? You got a problem? Shove it. I can't add to it. Exactly. Declan Rice did it. It's a different story at the end of the day, because they're not going to do that because they're agents. They know him personally, blah, blah, blah, all of that. So it is what it is. And I don't mind it, DG, because this is the Arsenal I grew up on. This is Arsenal hated in the media, always spoken about. They hated Wenger. Why are you bringing this foreign manager in who's bringing all these foreign players? Weren't we the first team to ever play a non-British XI or a non-English XI? Maybe even a full black, a full, well, close to a full black. Yeah, exactly. X amount of players. Like, we're a club of the people, regardless of your race, religion and background. And we've been doing that. And as you said, and both of you, actually, it's just, they've got to find new ways to hate. I do think when you look at the media, it's like, if somebody says a lie enough times, the vast majority of people are going to believe. If I say enough times on GMTV, the sky is purple, you're actually a ******* idiot if you believe that. But some people are actually going to take that in. So it's absolute, absolute, absolute nonsense. Would you lot give Arteta a new deal? Yes, I'll let you go first. Go on. Okay, now let's see. Now it's getting interesting. Right, okay. He's got one more season with me. That's me. So if that, if it's a new deal for what? I don't know what, two years? Two, three year deal? Yeah, it'd have to be. That's fine. But in that time, we have got to win something substantial. I don't care if it's CL, PL, something. If he doesn't win anything in the next two seasons, I'm sorry, that's... Would an FA Cup suffice? We have 14 of them. I'm tired. Yeah, we need 15, but... Nah, we don't need 15. We need one CL. Do you know what I mean? Like, we need some sort of European pedigree at this point. That's true. And the thing is though, I feel like Arteta, like, this team here that he's built here, I don't think that it will ever happen again with somebody else. And with what he has and what he's built, he's got to achieve something. Do you know what I mean? It can't be FA Cups and Community Shields. It's got to be something. English Super Cup, English Super Cup. Okay. Yeah. It's got to be something, like... Otherwise, the talent that we've got, it will walk away. Yeah, the Salibas, well, Saka will probably be the last and Declan Rice as well. But yeah, the Salibas, the Martinellis, the Gabriels, the people that have no real allegiance to Arsenal Football Club, regardless of the pictures they grew up with wearing Arsenal kits. It's their job at the end of the day, innit? You could be at the best company in the world if the industry trailblazer wants you and you can learn a lot and earn more and all that stuff, you're going to keep it moving. It's a difficult one where Arteta's concerned, man, because I do think now the conversation, it's a thing where it's one love for the rebuild, now it's moving towards winning a title. And I think it is a delicate one where there is no right or wrong, really. I do think Arteta will get a new deal. I probably would give him one. But at the same time, if someone could present me with someone that is liking to Arteta, that can take this project to another level, that is a bit more street smart. And ultimately a more better manager. Right now, as much as I like Arteta, keep it moving. In the same way, if there was someone twice as good as Saka, this is the life, innit? I support Arsenal. I don't necessarily support these guys to a certain point. So it's a techie one. Nah, I support Saka MC, sorry. I love Saka, but I support my club, innit? Like, Saka's going to cut one, this. Where he goes, I go, sorry. Listen, I thought that when I re-left, man. My heart's gone cold, man. This is it, though. Yeah, I agree with you, DG. I 100% give him a contract. And the reason being, it's not because he's achieved amazing things off the pitch. He deserves it in that sense. No, it's the direction... It's continuity, isn't it? Exactly. It's how he's got off to as well. Barcelona link won't go away. Exactly. So if you give him a new contract and he starts poorly, has a poor half of the season next, you can still sack him. You can still get rid of him in that sense, if it doesn't look like it's going in the right direction. If you don't give him a new contract, even in terms of recruitment, he's been a massive factor in terms of recruitment for us. Declan Wright... What I'm saying is wax lyrical. Exactly. Using his five-day part in the lotion, then, man, it's crazy. You need to have a clear direction in terms of your... I heard it, man. He's so slight. Don't listen to him. You have to have a clear direction in terms of your... I'm silly, man. They ignore me, man. I can't, man. It's too funny. But a clear direction, a clear path in terms of where you are going. And we're having a manager there. Like, look at Liverpool right now. They're losing. They're a massive club. Losing Jurgen Klopp. You hear a man like say, I don't know what's going to happen in terms of next year. Yeah, I don't know what's going to happen. And the people above Klopp as well. Exactly. So you kind of need to have that going on and then pull the trigger if it's not going right. I hear it, yeah. Anyway, give me something. That's all I'm asking for, that's it. I mean, you bring me an FA Cup, Arte, I'll be quote-unquote happy. But I do think it's about major trophies. And I did say in August in my videos that the gloves would kind of be off this season because I feel last season was the best and worst thing to happen to this fan base in line with our project. Obviously, because you've aroused imagination. You've enticed people to what we can do. We've accelerated it and then how it ended. And I'm going to sound like a broken record, but I think next season is where nobody really cares about the project anymore. It's can you deliver? But then again, go on, go on. No, it's true. Like, I think this is his what? Second full season? Yeah, I just count it as four years, really. Next year's your fifth, innit? Yeah, no, next year, that's his... We're going to have to pull the trigger if nothing happens next season. Like, it's what more can we do? How many more years can we give you? And if you can't deliver now, then when are you going to deliver? And I don't have the time. I don't have 30 years. I'm not taking a walking stick to the Emirates to wait for a title. And then you also have to look at what's happening with Man City. I mean, they've been going through a bit of a transition anyway, but they're going to go past the Kevin De Bruyne. They're going to have to move on. They're doing it effortlessly. Like, it's like, how they do it. Every time I see Fab bring up news about a City player coming from like the streets of Brazil. How do you find these people? That's taken years of stability though. That's been taken. They've all sang from the same hymn sheet in all aspects of that football club and given Pep everything. That's taken a lot. That's taken a lot of time to get there and a lot of money. However, you may think that how that's been generated and that. But they have taken a lot to get there and we are still, well, I know it's not early in terms of that, but compared to City, they've got years on us in terms of that. So we have done a lot of catching. Light years, actually, if we're honest. Light years. We've had a lot of catching up to do. The fact that we are at the table now. Okay, now that's good. That's why I think DG's right. Last year kind of raised our expectations to a level which is really at the top and really at the peak of it. Whereas are we quite ready for our team in terms of the project? And that's when, you know, when you guys were speaking about earlier that we haven't covered in every position. I think it's been almost impossible to do that in one summer window and get a £100 million striker. Someone that's going to be up that level. To get another winger who's going to be at a £50 to £60 million level and really complete everywhere in our squad. Whereas it feels like we're going to be close to that at the end of this season. But yeah, I'm glad that we've kept, we've maintained in here and let's sustain that. And that in terms of keep the belief or put within the fan base. Yes, there's going to be people saying, well, you haven't won us that. That's fine. That's the standards that we want to get to at Arsenal. I think Arteta wants us to be like that. In fact, in terms of we need to win something now. Because that's when the players will feel that. And that's the environment we've created at Arsenal. Thanks to Arteta. And also, yeah, thanks to a lot of the players that we're praising right now. So if we keep him next summer, I'm sure we've already got plans in motion in going in for that in terms of what strikers we're going to look at, what wingers, what midfielders. Then there we go. Full steam ahead. Man City are going to have to replace Kevin De Bruyne. They are amazing at doing that. But losing a player of that quality, we know firsthand that you can't necessarily bounce back from that. Kevin De Bruyne's don't grow on trees. If they manage to find the next one, then that's, yeah, it is what it is. But it's going to be very hard for them to do that. They're going to have to try and go through that similar transition period. Kind of what they did to allow Liverpool to win the league in the season they did. And us to take advantage of it. Our squad, we're still, what, the third or fourth youngest squad in the league? We are there. Who else? Man City and Liverpool, they're not doing it with two 22-year-olds out wide. We've still built that. We're here for the long term. We're here to challenge, compete, and win for a long period, I do believe. So yeah, whether that's Arteta at the helm, he's put us in that position. If he's in that position, great. If he's not, that's fine. He's put us in such a strong position as a club. That's what I mean. One love for the rebuild. And now that conversation is now becoming a Premier League. I don't know. I know Mikel Arteta and the players, because you hear it with the incoming players. You hear Mikel Arteta say it. You hear the existing players say it. They all want to win stuff. I just don't know beyond Mikel Arteta if they're dying to win a Premier League. Because they might say, well, we finished second last year. We finished top three this year. You've got Klopp and Pep. Next season we go along. And I don't think that's necessarily wrong because there is something to be said in terms of stability. Arteta is a highly sought-after manager. My biggest thing is, I don't want Mikel Arteta. I've got nothing but respect for Mikel Arteta. It takes big balls to take that Arsenal job in the time he did. And we've come a long way. I just don't want it to be in vain, in the sense of it's like a young player. If a young player was here, if Saka was here and developing, and he got to a certain level, and then he's moved on to win trophies, I don't want Mikel Arteta to go somewhere else and say, you know what? I did that at Arsenal. So I'm going to do this elsewhere and get different results. But that sets up my final question for you lot better, man. Because somebody said, are Arsenal fans too harsh on Arteta? Context, we've gone from hoping for wins against big clubs to now expecting wins. But yes, Arteta has failed to deliver in the Cups. Before the winter break, people were calling for the sack. Now they sing his name. Shows how football fans are very volatile. But yeah, what do you lot make of that? Oh, Arsenal fans are reactionary. Don't listen to Arsenal fans. Unless you have sense, don't listen to them. But the thing is, though, with Arteta, it's like, he's still very inconsistent. Like, we don't have, we don't have, like, pace with him yet. Because we have a section of time where we're winning games, we look solid, we look great. And then, why? And it always comes in threes. We always lose three games before we bounce back again. Like, that has got to stop. That's got to end. And I get why people are calling for the sack. Because our European, like, record is not looking great with Arteta. And even the domestic cups, it's not looking great. The only time really when he won was the FA Cup that Emery's, you know, Emery built that up. He just finished it. And it's like, we need to see you be able to take us, what, to the quarters or the semis or something to at least show the fans that you can actually take us to become a title winning or trophy winning team. One of the big boys at the big boy table. Exactly. I get why people are like, Arteta, I haven't got time anymore. I'm done. We are a successful club. We expect success. We have expectations. So he needs to start, you know, doing something. So with the Champions League there, if, like, we have to set pace because I'm not in the mood for us to go out, what, the quarters when we have a genuine, like, chance to make it further. You would say that's a successful point of a return to the Champions League than, like, the quarters. True. Yes, it is. But me, I want stuff. So, yeah. Yeah, but do you think Arsenal can win it? Because if you don't, then surely you can't, like, beat us. Why can't we win it? I believe we can. I think we can. I want to be like you lot. I want to be wrong. I want the Champions League, but are we serious here? Champions League. Do you want to, again, I'll tell you the reason why DG is Chelsea. Yeah. Well, we don't get them man's kind of luck. I'd love to win it like them, but we don't get that kind of luck, man. We can't win it on a slimy thing. There's only two teams. There's only two teams that can accept us, like, accept defeat. I'll still be gutted and it still has to take circumstances, but I'd say going ahead. Man City and Real Madrid. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Them man are in it, so how can we win it? There's circumstances. Out of all these teams, I think we move to Barcelona. I reckon we do them at the Camp Nou and obviously at our place. Bayern Munich, save. Dortmund, we could do a thing. Porto, I mean, like you said, Sammy, Arteta in the knockout rounds for me in Europe's been a bit shaky in the Europa. Inter, oof. Lazio, I'm not sure because it's the away games that scare me. Soccer Dad, I think we're moving to them. PSG, City, Napoli. Thankfully, it's two legs. That's what you've got to say. Yeah, but it's the away legs that F us, man. The away legs don't even matter with you. Yeah, but if you've got to lose 3-0 in the away leg and then you score two in the home leg, which what we used to do in the Champs and we say, oh, if only we started that leg better. Listen, I'm not being pessimistic for no reason. It's just Champions League is a different ball game. And I don't believe we can win the Prem and I've got more optimism for that than this. This is the pinnacle of club football. This is a serious thing. I know some Arsenal fans, not you two, were saying, you know, we don't fear anyone in Europe a few weeks ago, but there's certain naiveties we show. Definitely, I've got fear in terms of that. But again, Tottenham Hotspur made a Champions League final. There's no excuse. If we face, I mean, they did it against Manchester City. We need to be greens in that, man. I hear you. But getting to there first is the main thing, because the last three, that was my first Arsenal memory. It is the luck of the draw. But then at some point in the Champions League, there's none of that. You're bucking someone that's good. To be fair, you look at Benfica, I think they got to the semis. Inter obviously got to the final, so it can be done. But that's the street smartness. Are we the most street smart team in the league? Are we one of the most street smart teams in the league? I feel like we are now. I feel like we probably are, to be honest. We've definitely got this. I feel like the fact that we bottled the PL, I think that took a lot for the players to understand that this is not... We can't play these games anymore. We can't go into whatever we go into with the mindset that we had before. It's different now. We're working with different attitudes now. Like, even Saka. Saka is becoming a villain, man. He's becoming a villain. Like, I'm awake. We're all awake now. Exactly. You are right. You know, you have Jesus, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Rice. Everybody's got transferable experience. I mean, Declan Rice won the European trophy last season. So you are right. And I do believe in life. You're better off learning from your own experiences. Arteta, I've got a lot of time for you. I think it's been embarrassing in the Europa League. It was embarrassing against Sporting Discipline over two legs. Embarrassing against Villarreal. I'm sure we went out to Olympiacos and there might have been another one. Olympiacos. Exactly. And it's all kind of effed in the first legs, whether it's home or away. So if I feel that way about the Europa, Europa's here. Champs is up there. So these are the things I want to see arrested. And there is a lot of transferable experience. And as you kind of said, with the league, you know, whether you're young or old, these players must have known how it felt when the league was mathematically impossible. That feeling of disappointment, like you've got the pain of discipline in life and you've got the pain of regret. Discipline hurts, but you can do something about it in the present moment. Regret, we can't go back in time. So I'm scared, man. Again, with the Champions League, you can draw and win. Yeah. With the Premier League, you can't draw. You can't draw. A draw is as good as a defeat at this stage in the season. That's why I believe in the Champions League. Yes, we need things to fall our way. Injuries in terms of players coming back when you're facing these big teams as well in terms of their injury situation and what they're chasing after in terms of, you know, Real Madrid, they're Real Madrid. It's a bit different with them. But Bayern Munich, the situation there in their league, Tuchel has to win that. Tuchel... To be fair, we might be able to do something against them over two legs with Tommy Tuchel and Dier and these lot, man. You could get Spurs off of them, man. I'm seeing Man United shoot three goals past them. It's the more mentality thing, I believe, in the Champs than anything. Yeah, tactics. No, it is. It's the mentality game with the Champions League because the idea of Champions League is the best team in the world wins. It's not, oh, whoever can make it, make it. If you believe you're the best, come. But then Chelsea. Chelsea's two Champions Leagues have come whilst they've been fourth and fifth. They were sweating, man. But they did believe though, back to what Sammy said, they must have believed to some point, man. But the thing is though, Chelsea players, they have that mentality because they're a successful team anyway. They will believe their own fault, their own falseness. They're like, oh, I'm good. I play for Chelsea. It doesn't matter. The club's history on its own does enough. They got too many black guys now, boys. Calm. The Liverpool game gives me confidence. That was, guys, you know how much pressure was on us? Liverpool didn't have the pressure in that game. Yeah, no, 100%. We know the headlines that are written. We know what's said about the manager. We know how content creators are going to react. Like, we know what the world is saying. The world thought we was going to eat an L and rightly so to a degree because Liverpool have had our number. So, and I think beyond any of that, we needed to prove that we could be ourselves, that we could go onto that pitch with levels with them. We can have a game plan, react to any setbacks and ultimately just win the game. I feel one person that talks a lot of sense is actually Jorginho. We actually listened to what he says in the pre-game press conferences and stuff. He's actually saying this. So, I hope everybody's really and truly taken in. And we know we've got more of a bit of fight and desire and hunger and street smartness and a never say never attitude, but we'll have to see, man. Champions League's a different ball game and Porto is... I mean, last Portuguese team played... We'll be there. I hope you're right, Sammy, but you also said Martinelli weren't good. I don't know, man, if we can take you in like that. As I said, I dare anyone to find any information that... I'm going to go into the archives, man. I'm going to go into the archives. Go, please, go and find it. You're not going to find anything. I tried to tell the world about Martinelli when his film was there, man. People were telling me Tross Art should be started ahead of him. There's levels. We've got Tross Art, but there's serious levels that Tross Art's good, but there's levels. But before I let you lot go on... Anyway. Anyways, before I let you lot go on, West Ham on the weekend. How you lot feeling about West Ham, man? They've had our number. Two games. You've got to step into it with confidence now. Come on, like... Yeah, it's a must win. It is definitely a must win, but off the back of that, Arsenal fans, we do have to feel the confidence going into it in this team. I'm sure a lot of us doubted us to have the capability to beat Liverpool. I predicted 3-1 in my watch alone. Hey, now, fair play. I predicted a draw, but you have to take belief. It has to mean something that does go into your next game. Doesn't mean we're going to divine right, go and win, but you have to have the belief in to do so. These players are professional now. Even when our defeat to West Ham, again, that is unfortunate. And yes, we criticise the players, but to have that many chances and not even score a goal is ridiculous. That's one of them games. David Moyes seems to have our number at times, man. The League Cup, we were horrific. The game in the League, we should have won. Yeah. We did enough to win without putting the ball in the back of the net, and that's why you don't win the game. So did we do enough to win then? Because I think Arsenal, we're crossing over into that territory now. We want to win League titles and stuff. I agree with you, T, but I just, I think we need to like, it's either you did it or you don't now. There's no waffling about positives for no reason, and doing the negative thing for no reason. It's do the thing. Because as much as I don't believe we was outplayed by Newcastle, by Aston Villa, by West Ham in the League, but we didn't get the result. And all that matters in me is the points on the board, how many draws, wins, and Ls, and where you rank, man. This is why me, I don't look at the league tape until May, as I told you a lot earlier. But I hope we win. I hope Tommy Aston plays left-back as well, man. Big ups to him though. If, and if we win, if we were to win the League, or if we lose the League, we don't, I won't look back at what we've done before, before the new year. It's what we do now. Like last year, we don't speak about Southampton in the first away game. We speak about Southampton in the home game. That's why- People don't speak about Brentford at home either. Exactly. That's it. Because we think about these are the business, and this is the running. This is where we need to do it. So yeah, yeah, we need to beat West Ham. Continue that run. I need us to go on a run until we face City, to be honest, guys. Like- When is that? Nah, we need to be on a run until international break, if I'm being honest. For what? Till March? City's after that. City's after the international break. City's after that, so- So I think you're right. We've got no choice, really, then. Yeah, I think you're right, S. Like, we need to go on a run until the international break. West Ham, Burning, Porto, Newcastle, Sheffield United, Brentford, then Porto again. Then you've got Chelsea. That Chelsea game could be moved, depending on what happens against Aston Villa. Then it's the big one. But these games are coming thick and fast, and as Arteta said, we've got one of the thinnest squads. And on paper, it's one thing, as you both know, and in real life, in football, we don't know what the dynamics are being said. So I literally think I can't- Me personally, I can't process all of this, and definitely City. That's my priority, and then that. Because we're getting to that stage now, where these kind of teams that are fighting for their lives, whether they get relegated or not, they're going to start pulling off some shockers. But in an ideal world, we have to take maximum points until City. And that's it. And City will look to go on a run. They've got a difficult march. If they manage to work their way through that, then, boy, fair play to them. I hope they stay in the FA Cup as long as possible as well, man. Same in Liverpool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need them all to play games. Liverpool obviously got the cup final. I'll be cheering them on because they're playing Chelsea. But we're in two competitions now. Like, obviously, what? It's a game a week, two games a week, three games every 10 days. Assuming nobody gets injured and we get our players back, things could be rosy. It feels like we're in that halfway moment now, where it's either going to get lit or it's going to get ----. Who told me to be a football fan, man? I love this sport. The way it can play with your emotions is crazy. All right, before I let you get out of here, go on, go on. I don't want to cut no more. At half-time, I said I hate football. At full-time, I said I love it. There's that sucker punch in it, really. And that's the thing that needs to eradicate. We beat Liverpool. And you're going to concede this football, but that goal shouldn't have happened. And them kind of things there, that's an element of Arsenal. No matter how good we are defensively, and we've come up heaps and bounds, we need to now stop doing that. All right, so my last question for you, look, then, score predictions for Arsenal West Ham. I'm going to be optimistic. It's a 2-0 Arsenal. Jesus and Martinelli to bag. Assuming Jesus is there. Why is there laughing? All right, cool. When Jesus scores, remember he told you. Anyway, I'm saying 3-0. Oh, you're laughing at me. You think we're going to tamp up West Ham 3-0? Yeah. I was going to go 3-0. I'm going to change that. Oh, Bo, you lot are butt-talking. Bo, you lot slightly get gas when Arsenal do a madness, isn't it? You lot are slightly getting gas when Arsenal do a madness, isn't it? It's not even that. It's the fact that we've lost twice. Twice in the season. And rice came from West Ham. You think that guy's happy about it? No. David Moyes, Arteta's old gaffer as well. This is enough for a win. We lost twice. Nah, this is not going to happen again. I'm shook. Because, again, I like Zinchenko. But Zinchenko up against Kudas doesn't fill me with any joy. I need Tommy Yassi to play left-back like Zinni did all right against Liverpool. But this is where I need the Tommy Yassis and people of that ilk. And I agree with you. It's likely that Zinni starts and then Tommy Yassi will come on for him at half-time. I'm not even sure if Zinni's going to be fit, you know, guys. This is it as well. Yeah, you're right. We don't even know if Zinni's about. It all depends how he's recovered. I'm sure he's having his scan. What, it's Tuesday today? The club probably know. They probably know now how the extent of the injury. That's another guy that's got to go in summer. Again, I don't think we'll sell him. I don't mind Zinni as a third choice. That's harsh, man. Zinni can bake off in the squad, man. Yeah, he can be a squad player. What, you don't raise Zinni? No, I do. Of course I do. He changed our system, you know. S is ruthless, you know. Any injury-prone player, get out. I don't want you in my physio room. That's what S is saying. I don't want you in my physio room. I'm the physio that gets you back in good time. That's what I do. But my problem is that the consistency of injuries happens so frequently. It's like, what's happening here? Let me take this to VAR because maybe Zinchenko's being given a harsh... Take it to VAR. I dare you. Let's see. Let's... Come on, Zinchenko, don't let me down. In fact, I always say it to be fair. He does get away with a bit. Like, he gets these one week, two weeks, and no one backs an eyelid. All right, let's focus on Jesser. Jesser and Arsenal, yeah? Disclosure. Yeah, just Arsenal. Go on. Oh, would you look at that. 11-6. Would you look at that? Anyway... Calf, calf, calf. That calf, man. Him and Tommy, I see his calf. What is it with them, man? I don't know, man. I don't know what they're doing with our fullbacks, man. It's because of what they're expected to do. It's because of their role. See how Arteta wants this inverted fullback business. They are expected to... They're runners now. They need to run. They need to pace. They need to do a lot of accelerating, decelerating. And your calf muscle takes a load of stress when that happens. So it's no surprise, really. Cover a lot of ground in fullbacks. Exactly. They cover too much ground. And the distance that they have to do... Maybe their bodies just aren't able to... Some of them aren't athletes enough. I don't think Zinchenko is an athlete like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why we don't have a physical specimen like Timber and that, man. You see what Michael Owen said? That you could become a footballer if you run. You just run. It's true. The game's gone mad. But yeah. I can't lie. It's ended on a bit of a downer. But this has been a lovely video with you lot, man. Let people know where they can find you lot. Zinchenko, I'm sorry, my guy. You get back, man. He's one of my guilty pleasures at Arsenal. He's terrible defensively, but I like him. I love Zinchenko. No, don't say that crap now, man. Nah, actually, you can't do that. You said you wanted to. Don't do that. No, but actually, so what? I can't love a player? You need to say sorry to certain players as well in this team, man. But we keep going over the same thing. Yeah, he was an Arsenal fan. Listen, I love fullbacks. I'm a Sunday League fullback, yeah? We're all field wingers and central midfielders and strikers. So when I see Achilles, I'm going to be shameless. Like, apart from Kyrgios. Shout to him, though, man. He's awesome. Poor Kyrgios, man. Where's the strength? I don't know where this hate comes from. I like Kyrgios, but he's not taking it. Nah, nah, you do the S now. I like Kyrgios. No, you don't. Take it back. You might rate Kyrgios. I rate Kyrgios. We can see the receipts. I always say give Kyrgios time. It's just, you don't look like you've got that real confidence that you truly, truly, truly believe... He's a pure centre-back, that's why. Huh? He's a pure centre-back, that's why. Whether you're centre-back or left-back, you should still be able to look over your shoulder, follow runners. Arsenal fans were saying he's very good in terms of recovery. Big him up for the Liverpool game. And he had a strong run in the last season. As I said, I like Kyrgios. But I think he's got that Lokongo thing in that I need to see that ruthless self-belief and that I am here. Like, even when we... What did we win? He hasn't got the minutes. He needs the minutes. Yeah, but how's the minutes going to come? How are you going to get that? Tommy Yasu didn't get minutes at the start. He got one, two minutes and he took it. Like, if you're not going to push for a start, make sure Arteta has confidence that he can deploy you. And you look at several times, you know, when he's playing with his boot against Brentford, when he's ducking our headers against Sporting Lisbon, when he's hooked at half-time against Fulham, when he's getting terrorised against PSV. What was it? Was it Luton where he's a bit underwhelming? I like you, but you need to help me to help you. I will spread the propaganda in videos, you know. Hey, we've got Boris to help me help you over here. This is what I'm saying, like... Go and coach him full-back, master. Go and tell him. I can't tell. He's a big, big Polish international. If I was him, I would not listen to me. If I'm watching this video, I'll say, shut up, you YouTube pussy. You can't tell me nothing. That's what I would say if I was Kirill. I can't teach him that, in part. He's all right, man. There's very few players I don't really rate in the Arsenal team. Cedric's probably the only one I look at and I think, you're not good. Like, even now and then, you're good for eight games across a 38-game season, but you shouldn't be here. I'm probably there with Eddie now. I rate Eddie, but let's get our money. I'm also on the... You need to go somewhere. You just get our money for him. Like, Eddie is cool, man. You've scored hat-tricks, number 14, won an FA Cup, done your thing, getting 100 bags a week, IC3 and that. Shout out to him, but we need a striker. You're damaged goods, and you could even argue. If you bring in another striker, if you've got Jesus, if you've got Trosser, if you've got Havertz, probably not so much Martinelli, but there's like four men that could play ahead of you next season. So, you need to go and settle down roots now, man. Elsewhere. Well, I've got one more thing I want to ask you both, yeah. If you had to sell one player, and it can't... Don't say Eddie or like, man like that. You have to sell one player in this Arsenal team. Who are you selling? Put disclaimer... What? Say names, then. Like, we can't say... Okay, out of the ones who are playing, like, the top players. Like, you can use some rotation, man, like a Trosser. Not say Eddie, everyone... Oh, yeah, Trosser, then, safe. Are you really... Pick him up, safe. I'm not selling his goalie, but I'm not selling them, man. Trosser, safe. I'd sell Jesus. Out of the first team, I'd sell him. Same, same, same. Jesus. So what? Same. You lot would sell Gabriel Jesus before Trosser? That's crazy. Yeah. Because I... Because Trosser's available, bro. Trosser's a role player. Trosser is a role player. So Jesus was that at City? He was. He ain't available enough to be a role player. Jesus has done what we want our players to do. He's won the big boy trophy, the Prem and that. And he still hasn't done any incorporation to Arsenal. Because he's by himself. He isn't. Jesus puts his body on the line for this team. How many times... Did you not hear him before? Did you not hear the Nottingham Forest game, where Arteta said he's carrying a lot? Remember when he said that I'm not a goal... Yeah, no, you're taking his stuff out of context. That's someone incredibly self-aware. That's a self-aware individual. We all should be self-aware. Are you really going to say that? Yeah, no, he's self-aware. He knows his strengths. He knows his weaknesses. Ramsdale said he can't concentrate. Zinchenko said I need to improve defensively. But we're drawing out Jesus. Come on, man. My thing's not with ability. Availability. That's my issue with Jesus. That ability... Yeah, but all the ---- ones in this team are always about like... Ballers, come on, man. You look harsh, man. You know what, you got me there. You got me there. But out of all the proper players, Trossart. Not because I don't like him. It's I ain't selling Saliba. I ain't getting rid of... Who else is there? I ain't selling Saka. Declan Rice is not going. Martinelli is not going. Jesus is not going. We buy another striker, Yulshan. Trossart is what it is. Like, if I can get out of it and say, have Art, it's cool. But like, Trossart is what it is. Half the Hale boys can go apart from Smith Rowe. Even him, if I asked Arteta to be ruthless, then to be honest, Smith Rowe and Ketty and Nelson, it's not looking good, man. It's not looking good. But I'd say Trossart, Sammy. Who's yours? Oh, wait, you lot done the Jesus to me. All right, you can't say Jesus. Both of you, you can't say Jesus. No, no, no, that's not the point. All right, we know you lot. First thing is Jesus. Say your next one. Thank you so much. All right, Gabriel Jesus, I promise you, they're going to be breading you when you're back. You know, listen, Gabriel Jesus, I'm going to say it. You're not going to get injured from now. From the point of you returning to next season, there's no more injuries. You know what? Amen. I want to hear that. If that happens, G, all right, yo, I'm seeing you at the parade. I'm buying you whatever you want. Whatever, G. Hey, make sure you got the Henny in that, man. Exactly. Oh, just hit me up. They'll tell me. If that happens, Jesus, when he comes back, stay speak, because we're winning something, if that happens. All right, and I just want you lot to know, don't celebrate it. When he does get a brace against West Ham, don't celebrate. Don't celebrate. First, it was Martinelli, then it's Jesus. No one said anything about Martinelli for the 500th time. Yes, you got to be careful, you know, because I've seen DG on Twitter recently. I have been trolling the hell out of Liverpool. You know what's funny? Let him find it. When I find it, I'm bringing, you know, straight after the stream, I'm going to rise up with seats. I've got a lot of Jesus propaganda, man. No, you're good. You're good. She's pissed, because I can't believe all of this with Jesus. All of the defending this lady has done for certain players, and Jesus is getting hung out to dry, man. He's not getting hung out to dry. As I said, it's not about the quality. You said you would sell him. It's about availability for the 500th time. You said you would sell him. Lack of availability. OK, but if he's back for the remaining end of the season, what? Jesus is a Spartan, man. He will be here. He will be here against Porto. He'll be here against West Ham. At the end of the day, I want to be proven wrong, OK? I want to be proven wrong. If Jesus stays fit to the end of the season, that's fantastic. Not only for Arsenal, but for the fans. God's watching, man. How can you get rid of Jesus? This is crazy. This is God. When judgment day comes, remember I was with it. But anyways, let people know where they can find both of you, man. Your socials, your everything, man. Everything, everything, everything. It's a pleasure, DG. Thank you again. I really enjoyed that. Tariq talks on X on YouTube as well. Check me out on there, guys. I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to doing this again. And if Jesus is here, DG, any undead. Come on. And Sammy's gone somewhere. I don't know what's happened there. Sorry, sorry. My housemate is just covered into the house, so I wanted to... Yeah, no, let people know where they can find you. So, what's it? What's it called? Find me on Gold Diggers. Don't be shy now, man. Thank you. That's my Twitter. There. Where is it? There. I don't talk about football. I don't talk about these players. This propaganda about Montanelli and Jesus. I don't talk. But anyway, yeah. Find me on Gold Diggers UK. Big up Gold Diggers as well. Normally, she's interviewing, what was it, Mo Farah and all of these crazy people. I'm surprised she has time for us commoners on YouTube. But yeah, people, all their infos are in the description. Let me let them get out of here. And when Jesus gets a brace, we'll reconvene this conversation. But you two, God bless you both. Appreciate it for you lot giving up your evening with the guy. So yeah, people, comment, like, subscribe. Let us know your thoughts and everything. Safe. I don't know why that bubble thing keeps coming up. Why does that keep coming up? The first time I heard it, I didn't know where it was. I thought, oh, was it me? Did I press it? I think you put your hands up or something. Are you on your MacBook? You don't do anything with me. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. Sorry about the bubbles, on that note, people. Safe.
