Imagine if Mourinho (or probably any other manager said this). Arteta is basically accusing his players of refusing to train unless the sun is out. Sounds like he has no control of the players to me.

You can definitely see what he's trying to do there though...

Arteta only said it yesterday and Aubameyang said he's been in hospital for a few days. I mean, we're fine ones to preach about managers' treatment of players but... fucking hell. He was literally in hospital and Arteta was out there saying he wasn't training because it wasn't nice out.

Aubameyang was admitted to hospital on Tuesday (my wife has been treating him). She said his room was filled with people in Arsenal attire including club doctor and physio so 100% Arteta knew by Wednesday that he had Malaria. It’s quite possible Arteta was just making an off the cuff comment to avoid questioning.

He’s fine by the way in case anyone’s worried about the poor soul.

Bad news guys, just watched this and although I haven't kept a close eye on Arsenal lately I'm pretty sure they just won the league..

Arteta said: “You cannot deny the history, and that history is attached to results. It’s attached to a certain way of doing things, to certain values, to representing those in the right manner, to having the amount of support and love that we have around the world. And that’s not a coincidence, that’s been earned over years and years.”

I think there are far more people around the world who do not support them - actually hate them and their values and their dodgy history. That too has been earned over years and years.

By the way, aren't there a couple of golden tickets available for the CL in the new format, based on coefficients.
Presumably Arteta would refuse to accept one, given he also said "a role in any competition “has to be earned” on the pitch". Unless he means it's ok if the role was earned on the pitch ...over the last 5 years or so.
They did lose a europa final a couple of years ago, so perhaps are somehow more worthy than the 8 sides that are currently above them in the league?

I hope you’ve been hosing your missus down each time she comes home.
