Summary
There comes a point in every manager’s journey where the fans stop and say: “Have you taken us as far as you can?” It’s been over five years since Mikel Arteta was appointed Arsenal manager and in that time they’ve won just one FA Cup (plus a couple of Community Shields, for whoever counts those).
Marcus, Luke & Jim discuss whether it’s got to the point where Arteta needs to bring a trophy back to the Emirates or risk being left behind.
Plus, could Sir Alex Ferguson do better with the current Manchester United squad? And what are our favourite football books?
