Stay humble but never forget who you are.

Bring Cesc home.

By the end of next week, Arsenal could be out of the Champions League and just three points ahead of City, who would still have a game in hand. Or they could be in a Champions League semi-final and nine points clear at the top of the Premier League. Fine margins 😮‍💨

2012. Arsenal went to Milan in the UCL Round of 16 and lost 4-0. Mikel Arteta was in that lineup. Second leg at the Emirates, Arsenal came out of the blocks like they had something for us. They did have something for us. Heartbreak. Another nearly. Imagine holding a 4-goal deficit and you’re up in the 7th minute with a lead. 1-0. The Emirates came to life. Fans sang their larynxes out. Rosicky followed with the second. Van Persie followed from the spot. 3-0. Half time. Milan led 4-3 on aggregate. Arsenal had managed to reduce that deficit to one and they had 45 minutes to play for one goal to have a fighting chance. That goal never came. It was a drab, slow, slurry second half performance. Milan progressed 4-3. With Arsenal, there’s nothing I haven’t seen. There’s nothing that can shock me anymore. Probably winning the UCL will be shocking to me. Pleasantly. Those are the games that make you grow a thick skin and probably understand just how far the current team may have come. I really doubt Arsenal will lose 4-0 on any European ground today. Never say never, but the possibilities are slimmer these days.

LETS ALL LAUGH AT ARSENAL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mental as it sounds, potentially reaching a Champions League semi final on Wednesday doesn’t feel like it’ll pick the team & fanbase up

Arteta is on the verge of making back-to-back Champions League semi-finals for the first time in Arsenal history m, and in just a few years he’s given Arsenal something they hadn’t truly had in a long time, belief. Not just hope, but actual belief that they belong at the very top again. Because before him, Arsenal had become… comfortable. Top 4 was the goal, not the starting point. Big games felt like survival missions, not statements. But Arteta changed that. Now when Arsenal step onto the pitch, especially at Emirates, there’s an expectation to Win, not just compete. And that’s the biggest shift, mentality and identity. You can criticize him for certain things, overthinking in big moments, being too rigid at times, or even how some title races slipped and those are fair conversations. But zoom out a bit, and you see the real picture, he rebuilt a broken structure. From recruitment to tactics to culture, everything now has a clear direction. This is a team that presses as one, attacks with structure, and controls games territorially. They’re not just talented. they’re coached. You can see patterns, relationships, understanding between players. He’s also changed how Arsenal are perceived globally again. For the first time in years, they’re genuinely in conversations with Europe’s Best team, not as a historic club living off the past, but as a current powerhouse. So yes, you can blame him for this moments… but you can’t deny what he’s built. Because Arteta didn’t just improve Arsenal, he reset their standard.

Believe to feel alive

He needed that loss. He needed this city win. Get me to next Sunday now.
