Mikel Arteta seems to be amused at Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs sacking

Watch the video beneath as these questions on trophies are put to Arteta, with the Spanish tactician probably not taking the bait because it gave the impression to be a line of questioning designed to place the Arsenal supervisor below the highlight for not profitable a trophy for the final 5 years…

When requested if profitable trophies was a very powerful factor, Arteta rightly identified that it’s clearly not all the time, as Postecoglou didn’t hold his job at Tottenham.

For all of the speak of trophies, it’s necessary to keep in mind that Arsenal have been fantastically constant in the previous few years, ending second place thrice in a row.

There’s no trophy for that, but it surely’s arguably tougher to do than ending seventeenth and profitable the Europa League as Tottenham did.

Will probably be fascinating to see what the temper is like between these two managers after they meet on the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Postecoglou doesn’t have an excellent document towards Arteta, having drawn 2-2 in his first North London Derby, earlier than shedding the next three matches they’d towards one another.
