Funny I feel the same way about Steve’s opinions.

[Photosoflife]

Stevie has become a certified grumpy old man. Arteta is literally being straightforward about what is required to win the league. Which is near perfection. Particularly competing against City each season. If Stevie is so upset about the itty bitty particulars about what coaches like Arteta and Ten Hag are saying he should quit his job as a pundit and become a press officer for these clubs so these managers say every last word to his liking. Give it a rest Stevie. You’re increasingly coming across as extremely bitter and resentful.

89 points isn’t a premier league record for Arsenal

Where do ESPN get these guys from ???

[chrispeterson]

If Arteta had said the literal words that Stevie is suggesting he’d be jumping all over him for saying it before Arsenal had made any squad additions. Such a lazy, whiny pundit

[brightjoseph]

Please can someone tell pappi Steve that Arteta and Arsenal don't care if he wanna hear it or not. Arteta doesn't care about your opinion to speak his mind, so rest and focus on Liverpool.

Arsenal got 90 points in the 03/04 season. How a journalist can make a basic error like that from the get go is astonishing.

Tell Stevie to calm TF down. Why does someone talking sense enrage him so?

[Rulan-Zaha]

Someone in the studio must ensure that steve nicol is not drunk before coming to set. We want to hear respectable 'experts' talking, not idiotic remarks.

[teeone]

What's the point of Stevie if he doesn't want to discuss football. What does he want a manager to say to the press?

[danhouw]

Arteta literally answers a question about what he wants to do in the transfer market to improve on last season. Stevie’s response “SHUT UP, I don’t want to hear it!”
.. ok mate 😂

[bryancarter]

Invincibles had 90 points, (26 wins, 12 draws). Last time I checked 90 was more than 89.

[kwenatsotetsi]

If Arteta came out and said "we got enough to win the league" then he would have been mad at him for not adding more quality to the squad, Arteta just cant catch a break

[manweysabiedobam]

Stevie sometimes speaks garbage. What's the criticism for? That wasn't an excuse from MA, he's telling you what he thinks his team needs to do to stay in the contest with almighty Man city.

Old man shouting at cloud meme intensifies

[wrl-]

The ability to rotate makes sense...why would you not want squad depth...☝🏾🤔💯🔥

[ParthJhala]

Stevie, please manage a big club in 2024/25. Would watch every single game and press conference 😂

[victorazamesu]

Arteta doesn't care about your opinion either. Bitter Steve can cry all he wants.😂😂😂😂

[MarkChandler-fbfm]

Arteta and Arsenal had a lot of work to do when he took over. Got rid of a lot of average players on big wages. Now they have a good squad, its time to get rid of a few players and upgrade ones coming into the team. Rotation will help at the end of the season.

[mikehayes]

We need a freaking striker. It’s Mad we go year in ans year out without filling the most obvious positions on our team

[andrewcameron]

Stevie is just getting angry for the sake of being angry 🤣
