Top 5 premier league material records after 200 games.
Gardiola 146 points
Mourinho 137 points
Klopp. 127 points
Furguson 122 points
Arteta. 118 points
Just 4 points behind Sir Alex and 9 behind Jurgen not too shabby although a long way behind Jose and Pep admittedly, yet still ahead of all others apparently. Makes you think ? doesn't it?

It’s all relative - how many trophies did Fergie, Jose, Klopp and Pep win?
You don’t get an open bus tour for points. He’s blown Wenger out the water but how many cups did Wenger win in that time frame?
We know Arteta has done well and if you are 2nd twice then you will get a lot of points. However - standards to win are even higher and the question is : can he deliver a title winning side or just second?
Who cares about the number of points - count the trophies mate. His stubbornness stopped us bagging a trophy and caused an implosion this season which injuries also didn’t help.
Keane said today:
“We have been praising Arsenal the last few years saying they have done well and made progress, but the next step is always the hardest one. This idea over the last few years that they have made real progress - second, second bleh. ”
"If you are playing for Arsenal, what good is second to you? If you are talking about winning league titles, don’t compare them to United, but the next step - getting over the line - is the hardest. ”
How about thinking - can he manage a title winning side, manage egos, out tactic opposition and be brave to win more games Vs draws? He’s shown he can’t to me - how about you?

Hi Sy my jury is very much still out, while yours has been very much "off with his head " for a very long time now, so there for until along with you I find Arteta guilty as charged as being incapable of winning a title or you are proven to have committed a miscarriage of justice there is no common ground between us on Arsenal and Arteta. As for qouting Roy Keane as your latest witness in a very very long list of witnesses for the prosecution ????? who's next Peirs Morgan? Or maybe even Peirs Corbyn ????.
Anyway moving ontp somewhere where common ground genuinely is possible between us, I hope all is really good with you and yours mate ?.
