Arsenal Fan Show: HOW LONG will the process result in winning TITLES! FT @JayFergusonTV

People Deluded, I'm back again. Are we live? Of course we're live. People Deluded, I'm back again. It's another Arsenal talk. First things first. Jay, appreciative, man, to you being not only tuned in, but it's been an absolute madness trying to get to this point. I've been going through mad things. You've been a great sport, man. I appreciate that, man. I really do, man. Time's a commodity we all got to spend, so big up yourself, man, and apologies for the difficulties, bro. Nah, no worries, bro. I see you come through with the new intros as well, yeah? I'm trying, man. I'm trying. I'm trying. Shout out the editors, man. Before we continue, obviously you're an Arsenal fan. I saw you in the comments on one of the vids and I clicked on it and I was like, yeah, I like this guy's chat, man. We have to reason. Let people know where they can find you and all that good stuff as well, man. Yeah, man. Jay Ferguson TV on YouTube. I mean, and again, big up yourself for reaching out anyway because, you know, it's people like yourself, Curtis Shaw, your brothers that I've watched years back. You understand what I'm saying? And then it got to 2024. I was like, you know what? If them man can do it, I'm going to just try it, innit? Nah, keep going, man. Keep going, bro. Again, the platform, this is what I like, innit? I don't care if you've got 1,000 subscribers or one. If you talk legitimate football and I like your points, I don't even have to agree, but if I can see that you articulate, like I saw with yourself, the door is always open because that's what I champion on my channel, man. Obviously, this is the first time me asking you. What have you felt of Mikel Arteta at Arsenal so far, man, up until this point? You know what? It's been turbulent, bro, to say the least. And I always say with Arsenal, because we've had that level of success and I'm fortunate enough to be of that age where I'm around those times when we're winning titles, it's either Man United or Arsenal winning the league, right? Then, obviously, Wenger became almost like that dad figure for the majority of us because that's all we knew, right, for the best part of a couple of decades. So that transition period from Wenger to Emery, Lundberg, and now to the point where we are with Arteta, it's kind of like, is he the guy that's going to bring us back to those times? And I think that's where a lot of Arsenal fans, where we find ourselves because we've had nothing for so long, any glimmer of hope, we're championing this guy. And I think it may be, for me, I think, I still think he could be our Brendan Rodgers to what he was to Liverpool. Explain that, man, explain that, explain that, because that's something I've seen going around, man. I don't get it personally. It's not even to defend Arteta. I've just seen it and I think it's harsh. You know what it is? It goes like this, right? Liverpool were the exact same. Liverpool weren't much, right? Yeah, they got a couple of Champions Leagues, but in terms of Premier League, they weren't really doing much for a long period of time, right? Brendan came in, he had that Suarez, Sturridge, Sterling, Framphy. It was a mad thing. Everyone was enjoying their football. Everyone wanted to watch Liverpool play. You know what I mean? It was tearing up, tearing up teams. But ultimately, Brendan Rodgers did not get over the finishing line. Nearly, man. The title. And I see a lot of the similar traits. Because when Brendan came in, people were thinking, Brendan, Liverpool, that's a step up. It's the same with Arteta. This is his first job. Quality job to get as your first managerial job. It's crazy. And this is what I'm trying to say to you. When you think this guy has gone from ex-footballer, the Pep's number two, to now managing Arsenal Football Club. In a short period of time. No time at all. Do you know what I mean? So when I look at it, I'm thinking, he's definitely got the likes of me back, wanting to watch Arsenal. Because for the longest period of time, it was just a highlight thing. Let me see the results. We weren't inspiring to our own supporters, man. Do you see what I mean? So he's done a lot of the groundwork. Very much the similar stuff what Brendan did. He's got the level of football what people want to watch. He's got fans back on board. He's got fans wanting to wear merch again. All of these things. He's gave hope. But when I looked at last season, I was thinking, bro, how do you not win the title from there? Eight points clear at one period of time. And then I'm just looking and I'm thinking, this has got a lot of deja vu to Brendan Rodgers. Because he was the exact same. You're thinking, bro, look how far ahead you are. Look at the football you're playing. How do you not win the title? What did Liverpool do? Crash, bang, wallop, got clopping. Titles came. Champions League came. FA Cups. All the rest of it came. So for me, he has to get it done this season. While I'm looking, I'm thinking he's just the nearly man. You know what? You set this up in the best way. I think with this Arteta thing, you probably see it. I think there's very few people in the camp like us, or in general, that there's balance. You praise and critique wear fairly. Legitimate concerns, legitimate reasons for optimism. I think there's a lot of people, and quite frankly, younger than me, 28 years of age, that have only seen really Mikel Arteta. This hasn't been anything close to as competitive. Definitely during the Emirates, isn't it? There's some people that are not necessarily convinced. I do believe what you're saying. I do think the conversation, you indirectly said it, now shifts of the rebuild. You've shown you can do that. You're great at that. Now it's can you win a title and stuff. So should he be sacked if he doesn't necessarily bring a Champs or a Prem this year, then? See, this is where it's complicated because there's not a ready-made replacement where you say, yeah, that's going to be the guy. Where at the time before, when we needed a manager, Pep was available. Arsenal didn't show the intent to go out and get him, so he ended up at Man City. There's not one guy who I could comfortably sit here and say, that guy will get us over the finishing line. So it's a tough one because on one hand, this is where I probably sound like a hypocrite because I'm saying, boy, if he doesn't win something, how much more do we go? But on the other hand, I'm saying, who do we bring in? But I'm looking at it and I'm saying to myself, I see a lot of fans, they're saying a title challenge and go far in the Champions League is good enough. For me, how I look at it, I'm thinking, how can it be good enough? When we're saying, and a lot of people say, oh, but we're against Man City, they're a machine. But last year, we didn't lose the Premier League because of Man City. We choked. There would be a big difference if we lost 10, 12 games, like usual, we were 15, 20 points behind. We were top of the table for 200 odd days, if I'm not mistaken. The most ever in history. Madness. Do you see what I mean? So when I look at that, I'm saying, we can't say, oh, it's Man City. No, no, no. Last year, it was definitely us. So then people are telling me the narrative of, okay, they're going to learn from this. You need to go through these emotions to come back stronger, to come back more streetwise, thicker skin, the know-how, right? So if they've gone through that trauma of last year, surely they're more conditioned to go ahead and win it this year, in theory, right? Especially after spending X, Y amount in the summer to enhance what they left off from last year. So I'm looking, I'm thinking, the towel should be here this year. And only if it's not, questions should be asked, but they're not going to be asked. And I'll tell you, and I was having the same conversation with one of my boys when I was trying to explain to him, because he's on the side of, nah, Tez, the guy, give him time, time, time, time. I'm like, certain Arsenal fans, they're moving. Like, you know, when you've got a girl, she's been through bare mad relationships. I can tell this is good. She's been through mad relationships. The guy and she ain't good at all. Her girl, her mum's telling her, you got to leave him, he's a waste of space, right? Then eventually she gets one you, who just says, good morning. How's your day going, midday? Just won't leave her alone in the Texas. Double checks in and all sorts. She starts to feel sexy again. You know, checks in on her birthday, just does normal stuff. And all of a sudden, he's a Superman to her. Her previous track record on men is terrible. Just appalling, yeah. And I feel like Arsenal, we've become conditioned to this, because we haven't won something for so long. Any little glimmer of hope, we're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, this is the guy. He has to be the guy. Because we don't know anything better. But I'm old, bro, I'm old school. I'm that invincible area. So I'm looking and I'm saying, bro, there's only so long you could keep on saying, title challenge, go far in the Champions League. At what point do we say to Arte, no, we need some silverware. Let's not even get into the fact that we keep on throwing away domestics competitions. Bro, this is why I knew you was a real one, you know. That's why I had to get this title. I've been unimpressed. I actually, like, I lean more to the camp of Arte Erindan out, but I don't believe in backing someone religiously. I don't think Arte has earned that right at the football club. So how long would you give him? Huh? It's the thing you said there in that, what is the fallout plan? And I don't think that should be a reason to say, keep Mikel Arte, just because we ain't got a plan B and things like that. But what is the fallout plan? Because we've committed all this money. You know, unlike Emre, whatever Arte are asking for, he's getting. It seems like definitely during the Emirates era, where the owners are concerned, where Arte is concerned and everybody else, like we're singing rightly or wrongly from the same hymn sheet. So then I'm like, when is the process going to process really? I think we're at that point, bro, where I'm more onto Mikel Arte, because I praise you for the rebuild, but money's been spent. It's like, you can't even blame the Cronkies anymore. Any penny you spend has to be verified. I know Kai Havertz is finding his form, but in the summer, and I'm just an ignorant fan, I don't know football like him. Was that the signing to get us closer to Pepple City? I'm sure you saw a couple months ago, Arte was saying we've got one of the Finnish squads in the league. If you said that in your first year, I would hear that, Arte. But you're a smart man. I rate you so much. I know that you know ball, and you've already been burnt in the league to know why you shouldn't do that. And it does, as much as I like our project, and I just think it can be a bit naive. Like if we're doing this youngster thing, then all the other variables have to be spot on, because ultimately the youngsters are going to go through their patches of form like you saw in December, and we're kind of clawing that back. And even that, the fact that we're still in the title challenge with what we did in December, tells you there's something there. But I think there should be a legitimate... You see, if you're at a job for a year, and you've done some good, but you've done some bad, you're going for your end-of-year performance where there's legitimate things, and they say, if you don't do X, Y, Z, now, next year, things can happen. I think in the next 12 months, if that is the case, Arsenal need to be assessing people who fit this remit, people that do what Arte is doing, and then moving forward with it, man. So I'd say next year, but I think genuine question marks now. Genuine. I think even last season, genuine question marks. Yeah, but that's the thing. So when people are bigging up the Cronkies now, I'm still not. Because it's as simple as this, right? I think the Cronkies are content with Arsenal being the plucky underdog. I think they like that. I think they like that narrative of, we could do it. The fact that there's hope, I think they're winning. I think if every year, Arsenal keep on turning up and finishing 3, 4, 5 points off the top, semifinals or wherever in the Champions League, I think for the Cronkies, I think they're content with that. Because Arsenal are backing the conversation. Do you see what I mean? Yeah, no, I agree. So when I look at the Cronkies, and I've said it in one of my videos, I was like, they've got the appetite when they want to. The exact same with the Denver Nuggets, there was the Joker, let's go and drop him the bag. What did they do? They won the NBA Finals last year. Yeah, you see all their other sports, what they're doing. Do you see what I mean? Same with the LA Rams. The guy paid billions in fines to bring them to LA, right? Gave Odell Beckham the bag, made a superstar team. What did he do? He won the Super Bowl. The same with his hockey. I know people say, oh, but he spent money on Declan Rice XYZ. When we're looking at the landscape of the Premier League, 105 million on Declan Rice is standard. We should be getting a couple of those per season. In reality, right? I think that's the scenario we're moving into. Definitely where the summer is concerned with a striker amongst other things. Because I'm looking and I'm saying, I don't think the pressure is coming from the board in terms of the expectation. And especially when you've got someone like the likes of Edu. Because if I'm super invested in my club, I'm going to be saying, how come we don't make money? At some point, if you're invested. Yeah, we're not really known for selling players. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Balligan was the first one really off the top of my quickly. Maybe Willett, that's gone for decent piece. Do you know what I mean? But it's like, how do Chelsea manage to get all of these academy guys out who we've never even seen play? Definitely need to learn from them. For 10, 12, 15 million, right? So I'm looking at it, I'm thinking, the pressure is not coming from the board. I think just the fact that he's going to go back to back years with a title sort of challenge there, back in the Champions League. I think that's credit in terms of Kroenke's viewpoint. And I think the fans, again, like I said, we've had so little. Just even the fact that we can walk around with a little bit of confidence again. I think a lot of fans, they're okay with that. And I think you're banging on the money, man. And I think that's where you need to, fans need to have balance. I agree with everything you said with the Kroenke's, but then I'm at the point now where I accept that. All right, cool. This is what you lot do, innit? You have a hands-off approach in certain sports. You get the people in charge. Cool, boom, do what you're doing. You've kind of done that at Arsenal. And this is where I'm even more at Arteta and they do, because I get it. The owner of any company, any failures or successes indirectly are with them. But if I move away from KSC, them man have given you peas. I praise you for the signings you've done. I praise you for the signings you haven't. And especially when you hear this FFP stuff and our Finn squad, Arteta's going to have to hold that really and truly because we're at that stage where I don't think it's right for me to sit here and say Kroenke out, Kroenke out, Kroenke out, because I think it is on Arteta and they do. And I think like the players on the football field, they're kind of showing their naivete, even how we've assembled the squad. We've got strikers who can do good things in the final third, but none of them are goal scorers. We haven't addressed central midfield. We keep saying the same things about depth. Now I know I'll give a man grace. You can't fix everything, but it feels like we're watching the same old movie at times and we're asking for a different ending. I praise Arteta for the rebuild, for the systems, for the, you know, all the things you're doing. But now the conversation is league titles. And I do agree, you know, it's difficult with City and Liverpool, but I do feel at the same time, there's many variables that we don't arrest on and on the field, you know, because we lost last season because of our own. We are not at the top and kind of flying off our own back. We can be our own best friends and worst enemies at times. And that's, and I hear exactly what you're saying. So for me, like you said, it's not a Kroenke out thing, but for me, it becomes, that becomes a conversation if we keep on going through this same cycle of, oh, we nearly did it. We nearly did it. At some point you got to say, unless you're getting rid of this guy, it has to be you guys will go because someone who's really invested is not going to stand for that. So for me, Kroenke, the fact that they've freed up the checkbook in terms of Rice, Kai Havertz and all the rest of it, right? They've bought themselves time and credit in the bank. Yeah, definitely. Cause I just said, I'm not onto them. Like there was a time every Arsenal fan was onto them. Yeah, because I'm looking at that. And even when I'm looking at Liverpool as a sort of a gauge, more so than Liverpool, more so than Man City, I'm saying, okay, everyone always talks about Haaland, Haaland, Haaland, Haaland. Right? How come we have a manager who's meant to be Team Project Youth, but we can't see any of these young guys being played? That's a question I wish I had an answer for. You know what I mean? Because you think, all right, money is not always going to be available, but I'm looking at games, I'm thinking, you know, Saka's been dreadful. Like obviously he's picked up form in the last few games, but I'm talking prior to Dubai. Yeah, before this little run of form behind us. Prior to Dubai, I'm looking at Saka and I'm thinking, surely there has to be a young academy guy who we could throw on for the last 15 minutes just to see. Because let's remember, this is exactly how Saka got there. And Smith-Rowe, and Eddie and Ketty, or two or three, half of them that are around there. And even that, you put them in the shop window as well, if they're not good enough, you might get some reasons. And that's what you have to do. So it's not always money, money, money, money, because Liverpool, you know, they've got Trent, they've got Robbo playing at left back. You know, these are Trent Academy. Robbo is like a unknown guy who's come from Hull. He went from Hull. He weren't a sexy signing. They used to have Van Alden and that. Mane, people look down their nose at Southampton. That's my problem with Arte. It's the talent ID. That's his problem. And that's where I agree, because I think it can be hit and miss. Sometimes it's like, we're trying to be a bit too clever. Like I know Havertz is kind of finding some form and hindsight is a wonderful thing. He's not finding form. No, no, no, no, no, bro. In line with Kai Havertz. Do I want to see this? Do I think it's good enough? Do I wish we was having this conversation? No, but accepting Kai for what he is and where we're at now, and I can't change it, I would say he is. And that's where I think we're trying to be a bit too complicated. Where you said with the youth thing, and just in general, my biggest thing for Arsenal is, we need to remember that it's Arsenal FC, not Arteka. I don't want a man to make mistakes here, do good things, and then he goes to another club where there's more pressure and say, oh, that didn't bang over there. Over these sides, I'm going to do this and see where we're going. But where the youth is concerned, I think it's just a creme de la creme thing. I think unless you're on the Saka team coming from the academy, I don't think he's on it. I think he can work with a Saliba, work with a Saka, a Smith-Rowe, and all of these kinds of guys. But I don't think it's going to be the Arsene Wenger charity minutes. But I agree with you because he can put them in a shop window, we can plug gaps, and we can manoeuvre. And I think the talent ID's been hit and miss because for every Jesus, I actually think Zinchenko's been alright for all his faults, Rice and a couple of others, there's been a bag of L's, man. We signed Bear goalies, we've had Marie. And obviously I'm using this without context because there was some stopgap signings. But I do think the talent ID could be better. And I do hope we get a striker in the summer, personally, man. Yeah, no, no, for sure. Because I don't even think it needs to be the extreme of how Wenger used to do it in terms of youth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It don't have to be that. Where you knew Colin Karp, you knew it's going to be about eight academy guys playing, right? But I'm looking and I'm saying to myself, all right, if you've got someone like Ethan, and how do you pronounce his name? Ethan Dunwary. Yeah, he's 16. I think he'll come through though. I think he's a bit like the Saka thing. Like that man will always come through. It's the upwards I want to see Arteta do a team. I'm just thinking though, because we was thinking who is Saka when he first came in, right? Our left back guy, overlap. Okay, just a new Ashley Cole. Who's this young guy? He came through at a time where it was like, Ljungberg is saying, boy, I'm under pressure. There's no money there. Let me just bust him. Let me try a ting. And I think especially like games like when we had PSV in the last group stages of like Champions League. The dead rubber ones, where you see a century. Bro, come on. Don't bring these kids all the way from GCSEs, college or wherever to come and chill on the bench in Holland. They're all gassing the girls that they're making their debut today. Bro, do you see what I'm trying to say? I know they was in their DMC, you know what? You know what? Tune in, you know, I'm going to be playing, you know, Champions League. Man went all the way to Holland to chill on the bench. You see a man on the bench, Vex. Vex? Of course, I would be Vex as well because you think you're through. I would as well, man. Because it's a dead rubber game as well, really. Like the PSV and, who did we beat 6-0? West Ham. I don't disagree with Venga. Arteta not bringing them on. But that's where I'm looking like Arteta. Like, come on, man. Show them that the pathway is here. Because honestly, what Coles of Jubilee and Walters, their contracts are running down. I'm not saying they should leave. But if Arsenal are getting better and more competitive and fighting for leagues, we already know that's less chances for you. If everybody's fit, you're not getting a chance. And the gaffer doesn't exactly want to give you a chance. I'm keeping it moving. Personally, in the summer, I'm doing what I need to do to be a professional footballer. And that's what we do a terrible job at. We don't maintain the illusion of this person's elite. Like, Arsenal, we always make it obvious. We don't want this guy. Or, we have no interest in really particularly playing him. I think that's where we've got to do a better job. Because I'm looking and I'm thinking, is Cedric going to be here next year? I hope not. Is Elneny going to be here next year? I hope not. So I'm looking and I'm thinking, instead of throwing those guys on for 10, 20 minutes when you're winning 3-4-5-0, throwing the youth, so at least a club mid-table, like a Palace, a Fulham, are going to be looking at this guy and thinking, oh, okay. He looks like something. Maybe we go and drop a 15, 20 million on them in summer. Do you see what I mean? But yeah, no, to your point, a striker, a midfielder and a winger is needed for me for this summer. I think everybody's with that. And then, obviously, it's about whatever else I'll take at once. I don't know how anyone else feels, but I just feel, and again, I know injuries happen, but it just feels a bit silly if we're trying to fight for a league and, you know, Tom Iassu, I love the guy, picks up knocks. Thomas Partey, forever in the physio room. Zinchenko, Jesus, have been picking up knocks. You know, Timber allow him, it's a big injury, but we've got several players, even Jorginho, and Nelson, and Smithfield, they're picking up knocks. It's like, either have enough depth so these men are irrelevant, or maybe get rid. I'm not saying sell everyone, but it's not the strongest of foundations to build upon, really and truly. I've got a couple of questions before I let you cut, yeah? First thing I want to ask you, I need to get your thoughts on Arsenal v Newcastle. Like, four goals, clean sheet, didn't get a clean sheet, four goals though, three points, we're living. Yeah. Yeah, that was a good game of football and I thought we was going to win that game ahead of time. I know there was a lot of people saying, oh, that's a tough game, eight o'clock after the poor loss. I knew it because I've seen all of these same patterns with Arsenal. Arsenal always thrive when they're in their own little comfortable zone and their own little bubble. Giving them a knockout game in Champions League, abroad, with European refs, do you know what I mean? They haven't got the mental capacity for that. So for me, that Newcastle game, I didn't think it was going to be like fours and I thought we would win like 2-1, maybe a 3-1. 3-1 is my prediction, yeah, I thought we would definitely win because that's just Arsenal's pattern. They're back in their comfort zone of playing at the Emirates, in the Premier League, they know how to go about that. And that's always my thing for Arsenal. It's, why do we always look so inept when there's just any level of pressure put towards us? Why do you think that is? Why do you think that is? If that is, they're under our tech, because I can't lie, I think we've kind of improved at that, but I can't sit here and say that when, like what you said with Porto. They say football is a reflection of the manager. Why is that, if that is the case under our tech? I think it is a reflection of the manager because it's the exact same way how he always comes out and he's saying, oh, we've got a thin squad or they're young players. That's by design. Yeah. That's by design, so that comes parcel and parcel with it. But I also think it does come down to the element of just prehistoric history of Arsenal. Because, yeah, we've got to a Champions League final, but we've never won it. I hope you didn't say that, man. But go on. We've never won it. We was in the Europa League for what, four or five years? We never won it. Just pain. Do you see what I mean? So my thing is this, it's sort of in the DNA of, and even when you look at Arsenal sort of pundits when they're talking about Arsenal, they always go, this is the type of game Arsenal normally struggle with. That's always been the narrative from when I was in school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. ever been able to shape that. And I think it does come down to Arsenal just that nice club. It's a nice club. We had a long-term manager in Wenger, right? We've got owners who are not like Abramovich, who are just like cutthroat, you're out of here. Because when you have that type of leadership, it also creates certain type of fans. Look at the start of the season. You had Man City fans booing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right about that. You're right, you're right. And that wasn't always the case on the city when they had Danny Mills and all them kind of... No one cared about Man City back in the day with Dikov and them man there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big up them, but remember the humble beginners them man. You know what I mean? But now you go off and be a Man City fan and booing at halftime. Yeah. Especially after you just not too long go on a treble. Right. It's expectation. Yeah. Because that's what we're conditioned to know. And I think it's just in the heritage of Arsenal where we're not conditioned for high pressure situations, but we're not. And that's what kills me. And the only change that's going to come is when you start getting cutthroat. When you're like, oh what, no title? No domestic? P45? But people don't like that because we like that narrative of we're Arsenal, we're Arsenal, we're clean cut, we don't move like this, and the saying is true, good guys finish last, bro. It is true. But that's where I think, you know, as much as I like Arteta, I think there needs to be an element of ruthlessness because for me, I rate you. I think you're one of the best managers in the Prem. I think you've done good things. But if I'm saying this about you, then in the same way kind of what you alluded to with Pep, if Pep's doing shaky things, obviously he's not in the same realm, but I'm going to ask questions. And for me, you can't have it both ways. You can't say the manager and the players are this, we're going to do that. And then they expect, or when things go wrong, it goes on the floor. It's either, you know, you praise people, or you hold it. It don't make sense. It's like some fans, and there's a lot of agendas, but I'm speaking for the clean-hearted Arsenal fans. It's like some people like to have their cake and eat it, and I think that's dead. I do think it's difficult and very difficult to judge it on trophies, but at the end of the day, Arteta himself says we want silverware. If you listen to these players, they're not indirectly saying we're going to win the league, but Arteta, Odegaard, they're all talking about it, really, and for me, it feels like, obviously, you know, Chelsea, I hate them, but they're not going to lie down for long. United, they're not going to lie down for long. City are going to have to live post-pep, and they're still going to be up there, but they're not going to have a generational coach. It feels like we're ahead of our little thing that we're doing, and if we can just leverage this, we can pick up one, two trophies before things change, because as you know, the Prem's only going to get more competitive. You know, Newcastle got new money. Probably, like, in two weeks, there could be another bid for another club. It's adapt or survive, and you're right, because I do think we've got a bit more grip, but I think there's too much nicety and cutthroatness. I do think Arteta is showing elements of it, you know, when Tierney went, when Aubameyang went, rightly or wrongly with Ramsdale, but yeah. but I don't think it's that same level of... Yeah, no, no, it's not the ruthlessness required to win a Prem The consistency. You know what I mean? He's not consistently ruthless. I more look at Arteta as a case of, you know, I think he likes the environment where he could control, and I think he signs players like that. So, when the beginning of January, when everyone was talking about Ivan Toni, I was like, you're crazy. We're not getting Ivan Toni. Because he doesn't want those type of individuals. He wants those nice guys. He wants that. And why do you think it's Project Youth? You can guide them and mould them in the way you want without the back check. Because we've had years of these established pros. I'm just pleased to be here. When you're young, 18, 19, 21, 22, and you're playing for Arsenal, you're pleased to be here. But we need some of those guys who's like, nah, nah, nah, nah, that don't make sense. We need some of those characters who you might get into a bust up with. Look at Arsenal's history, right, of when we were super successful. When you look at that sort of British back to back. We won a league title at Spurs and man want to fight each other. That was my childhood. This is what I'm trying to say. I'm from the same, I'm from Keown. Elbow and man at Old Trafford. This is it. Lauren moving Brazy and that. This is it. So when I'm looking at our previous success, you have to have some of that element in the sort of lineage of your team. You can't just have youngsters, Saka, Manele and all the dependencies on those guys. And I know, you know, you've got the likes of Georgina who's been in a couple bits of form recently. The experienced players can't really be relied on like that. You can't rely on those guys. The ones we have at this moment anyways. Do you know what I mean? And so when I'm saying I want like midfielder, I want winger, they need to come with that type of characteristics. It needs to be something different. From what we've currently got. It can't just be another guy who just nice, goes underneath the radar, clean cut. No, that's why I wanted Ivan Toni. Because I wanted someone who's got that strong. I'm here to win football games. That's what Craig Bellamy says and I live by that. I wasn't against Toni. I wanted Ivan Toni because he's got that mandom attitude of bro. Even when he talks he's like I believe I'm going to score every game. I'll strike. I'm not trying to do Jesus dirty because I **** with you but you say goals are not my strong point. There's levels. I lost it when I heard that. Do you know what? The wickedest thing we're hearing that is like when I saw it on social media I got vexed but then when I looked at what he's saying it shows self-awareness but for me it left me feeling a bit of a way where Ramsdale says he can't concentrate when Zidjenko says defending is not a strong point. It's a bit mad. Collectively it's a bit mad. I'm being ignorant but it's mad. It's the conditioning. Yeah. That's how you're only comfortable to say that. You should be keeping that to yourself really. That's what I'm saying. There's things that you think and then there's things that you say bro. And we all need to know this and we all have this within ourselves because it's like now we're talking here if you get like a job interview call right now your whole dialect's going to change. Yeah. Because we're aware of who we're speaking to. As a professional football player you can't sit there and say I find it hard to concentrate. Because many fans aren't even going to read what you're saying. They're just going to see the little segment and you're done. And run with it. Yeah. And to be fair I don't agree with that because you shouldn't be ignorant. You should have the comprehension skills but at the same time you know human nature. You know what's going on. You know that even interview platform that you're only going to do that. So be self-aware man. My last question for you then. Where do you think the title goes then? Unfortunately I think City bro. But maybe there's some optimism for me. For me like I said it's just the DNA of pressure. I just can't see I can't see it. I don't know whether to laugh or cry man. Bro I can't I can't see it. And you know you know the wickedest thing is it's almost you've got to stumble across and maybe get that first one. Like somehow or some way we just need to stumble across that line even if it's on goal difference or wherever it is we just need to stumble and just get that feeling. Once you got that feeling then it's lit after that. Then you can build you can build from that. Right now how I look at our team I'll be more geared to say maybe Liverpool oversee you know. Why? Because of the clock cutting thing? I don't even think it's for the the clock thing. I just think that Liverpool got different ways to beat people more so than Arsenal and Man City. I think Arsenal when we're playing free-flowing football we look the best in the Premier League. We're kind teams apart you know the back the centre-back pairing of Gabriel and Saliba looks good. I mean when we're clicking we look good. My question is and you saw against Porto when we have to go to a plan B our plan B never looks good. And I said it in one of my videos Arsenal don't have a middle ground. It's either banging or what on earth was that? And that's the thing bro because for me I think games like Porto because a couple of times in my videos across the season I sit there and say I know this is the game and we'll talk about it but honestly people I think games like this are decided in August. And I say that with the Porto game I know it's very different to Newcastle and I don't necessarily rank high but you're better up front than necessarily in the left eight. Jorginho can play ball Jorginho and Rice play together it's a functional unit. You know Kyrgios can look better on the ball because you're not demanding him to you know contribute and build up play. Benjamin White's back to being a traditional guy. I think you know the Porto game I believe in what you're saying in that you know it's a mental block I think you know they're very street smart the refs got into it they were very compact and rigid but I think a big part of it is because of how we're playing we commit to playing one way and the personnel don't actually play in the best way like I don't think Havertz is necessarily a great replacement for Xhaka even though he's quote unquote found his feet and this is where I feel like it does feel for me with Arteta and Edou for as much praise or criticism I give them it's like you're standing in the rain with no jacket and now it's raining you're complaining like it's your fault like your mummy might have said bring a jacket Mandem might have said it's raining if you went out there you have to hold that and that's why I think you know we need to be a lot harsher with balance with Arteta and Edou me personally I just can't look Liverpool's injuries might be shagging it but they do need to drop points for us to do it bro yeah cause I'm cause I'm on the fence between C and Liverpool cause watching C over the last few games they don't look great they're getting their one nil's and Wormuth one could've went left but I didn't he needs to start going like that but that's the difference with those two it's C we know what they want to do only it's dominate the ball rip teams apart they haven't really been playing like that for the majority of the season but especially now with De Bruyne back what they do have is someone who are just smashing from 25 yards or what do they do they start spamming diagonals to Haaland and they win that way and one's gonna pay off innit yeah you know what I mean with Arsenal it's like ok if we're not ripping teams apart what do we do and when we even when we look at the beginning of this run of these like sort of five games the first couple games of that run these were coming from set plays Penuys you know what I mean and then we open up my question is why are we not just establishing that from game after game or just going after teams you know what I mean so I'm looking at it and I'm thinking Ote has seen it from last year and he tried to put the handbrake on a bit from last year of being let's rip teams apart first 15-20 minutes three goals and then switch on you know what I mean so I think he's trying to get this balance but I don't think he recruited well for that balance because we was able we were ripping teams apart playing with a jacker and I'm just thinking bro all we had to do is just drop in a direct jacker replacement and we would've yeah someone who does what he does but better or at the minimum same level and we're gone then you could've bought your Havertz and done your Havertz thinking that's what you want I'm never gonna be having Havertz for me bro because it's I know people saying how about you scored on a weekend bro for 65 million and you're playing up top for Arsenal in the Premier League in a six yard box I expect you to score that goal I mean he's better with his right foot man his last two finishes look like they've gone with that right foot but then look what happened when he had time and had to think about what he needed to do he put it wide yeah yeah yeah but that's what I'm saying with you bro I accept Havertz for what he is you know any other player bro that's the only way I can I accept you in it like there's some things I think you do very well I think his movement's good I think he's intelligent I think he presses well again players should be able to do this I'm not supporting Havertz players should be doing this but this is what I think you do I think there's one two games where like Newcastle like Liverpool you can operate up front but when it comes to scoring for a bit of stardust for dictating tempo of the game you can't do that and I think we needed a midfielder that can that's what I'm saying I accept Havertz for what he is like I'm at the point now I can't get at Havertz I have to as much as I back Arteta you brought him in I like Gabriel Jesus but if you've got a striker that says he can't score goals and don't score goals you brought him in if we're crying about Zinchenko defensively or saying we can't create because Zinchenko's not there you brought him in you brought the system so this is why I think Arteta has to also face the music for all the praise but I just think there's too many vested interests where it comes to the guy but I do feel he's still gonna get a new contract if I'm honest No I think so and do you not find that the irony of what would you say his best signing has been today Arteta there's a few you know it could be party it could be Gabriel it could be Odegaard I'd say one of them three you know I'm probably missing out someone would you count Saliba even though he didn't buy him all the ones you mentioned and Rice right is yeah Declan as well obviously yeah is the buck your players all of those players you just mentioned is when we've actually gone out and forage for them instead of saying oh man see don't want you no more I'm gonna come and get you oh Chelsea don't want you no more I'm gonna come get you don't want you know you're right so that's how I'm looking at with Arteta so Jinschenko and JJ's pep knew what he was doing he sold us a dud he cleaned up the car and he put on oil trader said great runner that's what he did he doing that saying that to both of them I love them both but you're right man he knew do you know I'm thinking you're trying to beat this team but they're willing to sell you two players make that make sense at first I was hoping that Pep's just doing his little bro a favor but then you're right there's no favor in this Pep's a winner you're right he's always injured this guy doesn't score goals yeah he's link up play sensational but he don't score goals take him I live without him yeah yeah what am I gonna do I'm gonna move okay there bear defender I'm gonna go and buy Holland bear striker there you go now look at this run are they playing no this is it and that's my biggest issue because has always been injury prone but no one says anything I love Jesus as a footballer but I think if you're gonna play for Arsenal unless you wake up and you can score goals we need to take away the reliance from you scoring but but before I let you go let people know once again where they can find you it's been a fantastic stream you have to get this going more often my boy yeah bro yeah man Jay Fox and TV on YouTube hit me up man Tik Tok as well Jay
