Mikel Arteta says that Arsenal held a vote among the squad in which the players endorsed the choice of Martin Odegaard as captain:

“By a mile — by a hundred miles — everybody chose the same person, which is Martin Odegaard.”

Big Tone spelling it out......would be hard for any reasonable fan to disagree

In true legohead fashion he's bigged up Ohdeargod for the weekend....most likely with the inevitable results.
I seen this doing the rounds on social media and the amount of cùnts slagging TA off and saying they don't respect the opinion of an alco :banghead:
That's what you're dealing with when it comes to the modern day 'fan' in which Arteta is beyond reproach and how dare any fan question why he made the invisible man captain :shock:



Those c.unts need a real good kicking imo - why does our club attract so many braindead w*nkers who cant think for themselves ?? :oops: :oops:

Exactly the type of lack of leadership nonsense that TA6 referred to - hasnt got the balls to stand up and change the captaincy himself, instead he turns it into a popularity contest where players know that voting to change captain could lead to disharmony in the camp, so we get a "vote" where the verdict was loaded before they started :roll: A real leader would have pulled ohdeargod to one side and told him that they were changing the captain to take the pressure off him and make it seem that you are doing him a favour :roll:

Being a proper leader isnt about popularity, it is about courage and respect - something the cone boy and his disappearing captain know fcuk all about :roll:

I don't ever listen to TalkShyte, but it is being reported in Numerous Media outlets that Mr Arsenal (TA) was a guest on there Yesterday or this morning and has said publicly that Declan Rice should be Captain of Arsenal. :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

I just looked at the comments under the Hayters TV edition of the Arteta Pre-game Presser and 90% of them are Clueless... They just follow and believe whatever Arteta says... They either don't know anything about Arsenal AND Football or are Tourists...
