Arteta has taken Arsenal to new heights; he has turned the Gunners from a side that simply honoured Premier League fixtures to one that has a voice in the title fight.
Arsenal’s performance so far under the Spaniard appears to be a foreshadowing of the club’s ultimate triumph under the Spaniard. This thought makes it unbearable for Gooners to consider their boss leaving.
Interestingly, Arteta has confessed that after Arsenal’s title loss to Manchester City, he considered leaving the club.
“The first few weeks were very tough because I went through it,” the Spaniard said via the Guardian.
“The first thing you have to do is look in the mirror and understand, Ok, is there something you should have done better, differently?’ And if that’s the case, learn from it.
“And then judge yourself: ‘Are you still the right person to drive the club, the team, forward in the way that you want, and do you have that energy and that belief that you want to do it?’
“I think it took a big reflection, but the answer is yes, and I feel with a lot of energy and positivity. But I don’t like losing, and it takes me a while, and that was a tough moment,” he added.
Anyway, there’s no doubt Mikel Arteta is staying at Arsenal; next season, he can guide the Gunners to PL glory and finally end their long wait for PL glory.

It must’ve taken a lot of energy to bark orders from technical areas, but getting millions of pound sterlings each year has surely motivated him
Cynical 🤨
Will your Tesco manager be much cheaper?
Who’s my Tesco manager
Very unlike you GAI
Does it sound negative
Exactly what I was talking about earlier on another article. MA is now just talking for the sake of it. Saying he wasn’t sure he was good enough after ending 2nd, then convincing himself he is good enough. Like a episode of Bold and the Beautiful 🤣 bit sad.
The one comment on the BBC article had me rolling on the floor….”I often reflect and ask myself if I’m good enough and decide that I definitely am and then tell everyone about it.”
I thought he answered a question put to him in a candid and humble way.
I’m glad he chose Arsenal over his thoughts. And what it would be like for these young chaps who believe in his methods and the way he changed the work of the team as the whole. Wish all the best in the next season.
As if he is doing us a favor. It’s unwarranted and undeserved worship like this that start anti vs pro wars.
Only a psychologically sound person can understand this guy and the way he views life, all others who don’t understand will eventually understand when we start to attain greater heights but until then it’s still some sort of Ted Lasso series to them.
Hugely stretching a point of realty to argue that having normal human self doubts is the same actually seriously considering stepping down as our manager,I would say.
And pray tell us how do you know how he views life? Does he have a philosophy book we are not aware about?
Given how he has over come the hurdles of making us the Arsenal we are today it’s obvious he has a psychological way of approaching things which is quite different from many other managers plus the never ending praises the players working for him shower on him and the fact that they are confident he is the man they need for their career development as an individual and as a team goes to show something really special about him if you care to take note anyway.
Well said Vamos.A mture post.
Why would a manager even mention this? Perhaps we should kneel and give thanks he stayed?
I think most managers and players hate to lose, kinda baked in at this level one would think.
No one person is above the club, let’s keep that in mind. Sure I enjoy players and managers, but always Arsenal first. Hate to see Arteta go, but if so then on with the show.
We have started to rise after Wenger finally, we will do so again.
If what is being reported in this article is correct, then respect to Arteta. Yes we should have won the league from the position we got ourselves into, thanks to Arteta but everybody knows in their heart ( including Arteta) it was his decisions that lost us the league. With everything that is being put into the club, success should be the yardstick and Arteta has to repay the faith and humongous amount of financial support that is being given too him. I hope for his sake, he has learned from his mistakes.
I don’t think it’s a fair statement to say Arteta cost us the league. Many have mentioned the injuries to Tomiyasu and Saliba contributed to our loss of form in the run in ? Was Arteta responsible for these injuries? I’m not so sure. Perhaps it’s a bit fair to say his decisions were a contributing factor, but certainly not the only factor
No, it is fair, it is his decisions how he deals with the minuses and the plusses. He has proved he deals with plusses well. The great managers deal with the minuses, Arteta has repeatedly shown, he cant deal with setback.
And its funny, Arteta looked at his faults but some people try to find excuses for him, every turn. Excuses win you nothing!!!!!!
Its amazing how people say it was his decisions, as if he has control over injuries.
Just before the start of the new campaign, the commanding general confesses to the troops that his mind was not in it, he was unsure of himself…having second thoughts.
Not a good sign.
That could explain why he was allowed to spend so lavishly, over the top, on average midfielders. And not even a striker.
Now Jesus is injured; Heaven help us!
Can’t see what the fuss is about and Reggie makes valid arguments
Arteta is a professional….having been mentored by The Greatest coach of recent times….but even the greatest show Cracks endured in this Hotbed of the highest level of English soccer…come now Supporters…Support…Hail The coach!!!
I’d be surprised if he seriously considered stepping down. I think he is saying that he’s the type of man who would fall on his sword if it was in the player’s and club’s best interests
He should keep his thoughts and feelings to himself in my view because it almost certainly will be construed as a weakness in some quarters, possibly by the squad and owners themselves.
I know it sounds noble and honest but it never pays to open up your heart to the press. Just keep quiet and get on with the job. Btw I have yet to see a manager fall on his sword, they get sacked or move on to a more lucrative job, either way they end up rich. Cynical? Maybe, but true.
Why didn’t we won the league in 2023?? Why did we just bottled it? do we have to blame mikel on this? in any answer we have a tendency of sleeping when we’re in the final 5, 6 games wheather we have injuries or not.
And still we have an area to work it out. That’s striking position. when will we have a complete striker like Haaland or Kane and may be Mbape? There are so many players in Europe who are like the trio. why can’t we go for them and we want to win and win? arsenal need to be serious if they want to win us the league.
Arsenal at the moment need a super striker gabby is unreliable sometimes.
