It happens all the time. Players very rarely have an intent to cause damage, but a mistimed challenge with no intent is very often a red card.

Today's blog is about the manager, the title win, and how he experienced it. Have a read.

Being a football manager is a ridiculously difficult job, and I don’t think we talk about that enough. To be a Premier League winning football manager means you’re doing something that only a tiny percentage of those who operate at the elite level can do, and have done. That’s where Mikel Arteta is now.

What’s fascinating to me about this is that he is someone who, in his pursuit of success – whether it’s a win in the next game, or the big trophies each season – has done his best to control as much as possible. His preparation is second to none, we know his attention to detail is off the charts, even when we don’t necessarily see it ourselves. His quote about how he wanted Arsenal to be the best at everything, every aspect of the game, told you so much about him and how he operates. He’s also keenly aware that there are things you cannot control, external forces that are so often random and which can knock off course. Hence his desire to have jurisdiction over as much as he can.

And yet, he experienced this in the same way so many of us did. Those who sat and watched the Bournemouth game, fair play to you. You have balls of steel. I just couldn’t do it, even if I found myself in a position where I couldn’t avoid most of the first half. However you did it though, we had no control. Mikel Arteta had no control. Football, the great leveler.

Today's blog. 👇

I loved the pictures and the videos and the stories of the scenes around the stadium on Tuesday evening. Not just because it was Arsenal fans celebrating an Arsenal victory, but I heard so many friends, and otherwise, talk about how wonderfully it represented the diversity of the area and how the club was fundamental to that. People of every stripe congregated to share something special, something positive, something to celebrate.

At a time when it feels like large gatherings of people are often built on divisiveness and hate, this was all about love. Love of the team, love of the club, love of the achievement, love of fellow fans regardless of what they look like, who they worship, where they come from, who they love, or anything else. Fuck knows we need more of that, and while I recognise Arsenal winning the title in this context, in these particular set of circumstances is rare and hard to replicate, I don't think that fundamental connection on a human level should feel as difficult to find as it so often does.
