"People are describing that ‘you guys changed our life’. I mean, what does that mean?"
A treat to sit down with Mikel Arteta and hear what goes on inside his world.
On olive trees, ideas, curiosity, club culture and healing the poison in his veins

"External critics formed a caricature they choose not to see beyond. Arteta is not a manager they care to try to understand."
But he has got Arsenal, and Arsenal have got him.
Free to read - the roots of Arteta's passion for his club.

What a night. What a day. What a 22 years.
As Arsène once said, "happiness and suffering are linked to the time you've had to wait".
Free to read: a piece on the end of an eternal wait to get back to the summit.

Disco time.
And after 20 years, the Europa phase, clambering back up to compete at the top table, and shaking off their European imposter syndrome, they deserve to dance.
Some words on Arsenal working like hell and enjoying the moment.

Ahead of the Steel City derby in the @SkyBetChamp today.
A throwback to this bizarre photo from 1993. Here, Meadowhead neighbours John Pemberton (United) & Roland Nilsson (Wednesday) pose in their respective club shirts across the garden fence.
The #90s were so great. #shushw

"Being someone in a suit who handles big meetings and internal politics, but also can talk on a level to players and represent the club values, is a mix that not everybody can pull off."
Some words on Edu, how he was at Arsenal and what needs replacing.

A weird day. We look at Edu implications, Newcastle frustrations, and Inter around the corner.

A short story. This little lad, Lorenzo, aged 7, chose to make this sign today. He took it to the game. Ethan’s dad spotted the sign and called the boy over at the end of the game. He made sure Lorenzo got his wish. Lovely! #AFC

Arsenal seem to be playing to the rules of Murphy's Law at the moment. Injuries, decisions, weird red cards, if things can go wrong...
Arteta is trying to get on with it but they could do with catching a break.
Some words after yesterday's draw. #AFC

This was an incredible rivalry, match and story to cover at the time and a lot of fun to revisit in great depth 20 years on with some of the characters involved.
It’s an oral history of THAT #MUFC v #AFC clash, “Pizzagate”, “the Battle of the Buffet” 🍕

Awww this is fab. Myles Lewis Skelly's mum pulls the best shocked/elated/proud face when he comes on in the Champions League.
A mother's love ❤️
