Great documentary about Arsenal but...
11 August 2022
To see behind the scenes is always fascinating and although I've always thought highly of Arteta as a footballer I was so pleased to see how he is as a manager and a family man. To see that Saka is not just a talented football player, but at the end of the day a young man with all that entails makes me sympathise with what happened in the penalty shootout (I blame Southgate). However I was shocked to see that no mention was made of the fact that racists attacks following his unsuccessful penalty almost all came from outside the UK and it was only a handful of idiots in England who were identified. English football is a meritocracy and only the best can play for the top teams. Consequently the best of the best play in the English Premier League wherever they were born. As a result players in Arsenal are from everywhere and are loved by all supporters. By the way contrary to what the documentary implied most Arsenal supporters are white so it's surprising that most supporters interviewed and featured were not white!? Anyway I still think it's a superb documentary even though it's a bit misleading. Still it is the CURRENT YEAR.
