I didn't want Mikel anywhere near the club! I thought he was an underwhelming 'yes man' recruit for the kroenkes. His handling of the Auba situation was the big turning point for me, the way he transformed the toxic culture, standards and the general perception of the club is truly remarkable. Win draw or lose i actually enjoy watching my team and i have a sense of pride whenever the players walk on to the pitch which is something i haven't felt in a very long time. Mikel is already a success in my eyes now go cap it off with a major trophy! Big shout out to the kroenkes for overseeing Mikel's vision and backing him to fullest
Even as a gooner, I reckon Mikel is a tough interview, but this is a beautiful job Rog

Never watched Rog before, but I completely agree with you.. Mikel is so smart with what he lets out ina interview he is def a tough interviewee, however you can tell Mikel gravitated towards Rog aswel asa result of all that great interviewer energy stuff! ..contributing to a perfect interview ! Everything about Mikel and Arsenal fully makes sense after watching this. #ArtetaBall is what Cruyff was for total football.. he didn’t invent it.. but he sure as will take his dream through the stratosphere.. and will not only influence the club he’s managing! They won’t talk about Pep and Xavi for nowhere near aslong as they’ll study the mind of Mikel Arteta! 🙇
That interviewing was f’in class, I was as engaged with you as I was mikel. First time coming across you. Brilliant
This interview was one of kind. Some of these interviewers should take lesson from this amazing gentleman ❤🎉🎉
Arteta is a book we all should study. I never believed we would get here back then when Wenger signed him from Everton. We love you Super Mikel Arteta. Win the league for us this season pls.

Best interviewer I have ever seen in my life.
My highlight, when Mikel said something along the lines of - If any player left it's because "I failed to bring out the best in them cos that's my job as a manager" - He's a gem. I rarely bother to watch Mikel's interviews but this one got me hooked thanks to the Interviewer

Clearly I’ve missed a trick. Never heard of Men in Blazers and Rog. This popped up on my home page as I am a life long Arsenal supporter. Simply a brilliant interview. Have now subscribed on You Tube and Spotify. Just a joy to listen to thoughtful well researched questions, put by someone whose own passion is worn on his sleeve (not sure about the sweatshirt, even though I expect it cost a lot). As for Mikel, it took a few false starts since Arsène left, but we have our Mr Arsenal, a person you need if you want to compete with the best.
I love your interviews man, and what a person to interview as well. Legends!

I loved Arteta since he was player , then as Head Coach though started by struggling but he relieved me after saying, "Trust The Process". I listened every Press conference every word spit by him you can sense how he genuinely loves the club that's we see the transformation.
That was a “recording” that I would like to call a “Crazy Chatman”! It started my day with a happy bang, smiles all around and my lab Chessie was a WIN man (well woman more like) for it. These are 2 professionals at the top of their game. What a treat!
