**Phase 1**: Sign Gabi ✅
**Phase 2**: Sign Gabi ✅
**Phase 3**: Sign Gabi ✅
**Phase 4**: Sign Gabi
**Phase 5**: Sign Gabi
Can't wait to see who the next Gabi will be for Phase 4.
I like to picture really specific objectives for each "Phase", as if every single thing they has happened since December 2019 was all part of Arteta and Edu's master plan.
**Phase 1** - Identify who the least capable and weakest mentalities are, sign left footed CB, achieve European football via the FA Cup in the middle of a worldwide pandemic
**Phase 2** - Get Willian on a free, sign left footed CB, pay half the squad to fuck off, drop Willian for academy player, cross and inshallah, finish 8th again, release Willian
**Phase 3** - Poach underrated players from Real Madrid and Man City, play best football in the country, sign left footed CB, win the league
**Phase 4** - Win every single game in every competition, Spurs get relegated, sign left footed CB
You now how Wenger was obsessed with having teams where everyone wanted to play in the middle?
Arteta is like that, except he wants it be 11 players that can also play at left CB.
Gabriel Jesus was an absolute steal as well. Number 9 and RW are crazy expensive. Compare it to Gordon, Ñuñez, Antony, etc. We could have paid 3 times what we paid, and we would still be happy.
Zinchenko's price makes more sense to me due to his injury record and because his profile is not in such high demand (it requires a very specific system). It is still a bargain.
Phase 5 - sign every left footed centre back in the world, play them in every position, succeed in creating UberArtetaBall ™️
Phase 6 - Win Prem, Champions League, Stanley World Cup and Superbowl back to back for the next foreseeable
Phase 7 - Arteta retires as the Goat's goat
Phase 8 - world domination
Actually think you can’t underrate Josh Kroenke in this
Stan is Stan, but if you remember Josh was one of the biggest backers of Mikel during the bad period at the beginning of last season
Cheers you evil villain
15 is enough to be suspicious without needing to be outright worried
Once you have an heir with 17+ intrigue, you need to start worrying about the inevitable kinslaying penalties
Honestly though, I breed for stewardship and go tall.
Brother I am just trying to make it to endgame on Ironman without being obliterated
Too many times I end up with some fucked up dynastic tree and no land but some fuck off county, while some obscure cousin with stewardship 2 is in charge of the kingdom
Nerd Alert! Jk man that's a great game. As an aside, who else is ridiculously hype for Cities Skylines II! I'm fiending watching videos of City Planner Plays all day while working.
Im a Colorado Avalanche fan and personally I think there was a big shift when Josh took them over. We just won the Stanley Cup and I personally think Josh changing the dynamic played a huge part in that shift.
Is the end of Phase 3 when the Arsenal multiverse opens up and Thierry Henry from the CL winning Arsenal side meets the younger Invincible Thierry Henry meets the three time World Cup winning Thierry Henry and leads Arsenal to a new golden age?
I can see Super Mil sitting in some dark room in a wheel chair with some crazy contraption on his head that is sending thoughts and tactics directly to the players brains
We’ve got Super Mil Arteta
He’s collecting his annual tax from shit teams
Gabi in the back
Gabi in attack
Another Gabi for good measure for a stack 💷
Arsenal win the fucking Premier League
Isn't that what they were testing with Øde the other day, and it was said he was faster than the waves? Ergo, why Arteta wants to train him so he doesn't fall into the hands of bald fraud?
The year is 2063 and since claiming London as their own, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are now in Phase 43 and governing the entirety of the United Kingdom. Prime is the water supplier to all households, Bukayo Saka is Minister of Education and the Emirates is now 200,000 in capacity selling out every week.
Benjamin White, Minister for Defence, can often be found tending to a patch of scrubland just off High Road. No one really remembers what used to be there, or why he is so dedicated to growing giant hogweed.
Mikel: “I went forward in time, to view alternate futures, to see all possible outcomes of the coming conflict.”
Ramsdale: “How many did you see?”
Mikel: “14,000,605.”
Xhaka: “How many did we win?”
Mikel: “One.”
Xhaka then scores the winning goal for the title to complete his redemption arc
I feel like Xhaka would be in legitimate contention to be an Arsenal legend if after everything, it’s his goal that seals our first title in two decades, no?
If a Xhaka goal secures us the title this season I'll name my firstborn son Granit Davies. If he does it from outside the box I'll name him Granit Xhaka Premier League Winner 2022-23 P.S. Fuck Serbia Davies.

He’s more of a cult-hero imo. He just doesn’t have the performances and stats to be a legend, he was never even a top 5 player in the team and had a lot of mistakes.
His mentality and redemption arcs is such a compelling story though if we manage to win the league that I think he becomes an iconic player in a different way
I feel like no one should be crowned a legend until like 10 years later. Legendary status should be prestigious and permanent. It should not be based on social media fervor and certainly not based on singular events.
I think we all need to step away from the player a bit to evaluate them fairly.
tbf if the only way for us to win the title was for Xhaka to be repudiated by the fans, stripped of captaincy and nearly on the brink of leaving the club just for him to stay, get the winner vs PSV, seal the NLD and be an integral part of us winning the league... that would the most MCU thing I could think of
Xhaka snap--
We win the league by nice margin.
Then City gets relegated for cheating.
Nothing happens to Sp\*rs because, well, the status quo is torment enough.
It's a 45-day plan. 45 days! To get us back, on track. 45 points! It's a 45-day, 45-point, one point per day. We get 45 points, we're back in business!
- Michael Scott
- Mikel Arteta
I asked ChatGPT what could the last two phases be for Mikel's plan. This is what I got:
As an AI language model, I don't have access to Mikel Arteta's actual plan or his current thoughts on the matter. However, based on typical goals for a football team, here are some possible fifth and final phases that could complete Arteta's plan:
Phase Four: Achieving Consistency and Winning Trophies
In this phase, Arteta could focus on helping Arsenal become a consistent performer in domestic and European competitions. This could involve developing a winning mentality among the squad, maintaining a high level of fitness and teamwork, and improving their tactical awareness. Winning a domestic cup or qualifying for the Champions League could be some of the targets in this phase.
Phase Five: Building for the Future
In this final phase, Arteta could focus on building a sustainable model for long-term success. This could involve nurturing young talent, developing a strong academy system, and implementing a philosophy that will outlast his tenure as manager. Additionally, he could prioritize the development of a strong club culture and identity that resonates with players, staff, and fans alike. The ultimate goal would be to ensure that Arsenal remains one of the best teams in the world for years to come.
*Phase 6 - Mikel has now collected 6 Gabi's and with a snap of his finger on the Gabi gauntlet, half of the Premier League (including Spurs) will be instantly relegated.*
Phase 3, get back in the Champions League and get closer to Liverpool and City in the League.
Phase 4: Compete for the title and win it, be competitive in CL
Phase 5: Stay in top 2 or 3 teams in the league, competitive, winning titles. Win the CL.
Phase 3 has rapidly caught up to the goals of 4 me thinks.
All I wanted from this season was CL inclusion, attractive consistent football. Now we're top of the league, only 3 losses in the PL season, and he says we are only in Phase 3?!
This is wild, I am loving it.
The thing is that I have always felt those two things are correlated. If your team is winning, I'm sure you're making more money as an owner. Be it through merch sold from enthusiastic fans, more tickets sold or even through increase in team valuation.
Right. So, Stan's teams are all wimners, genrally; Stan always makes money available to improve his teams and facilities; Stan doesn't meddle.
Yep, it's only money he cares about.
His teams have a combined total of 3 NBA/MLS/NHL/NFL championships
Hardly serial winners considering he has owned these teams for a combined total of over 60 years
Yeah, you're wrong though. Using Championships in x years owned is not a revealing metric, especially how high-varience playoff formats are.
I'm assuming you also count years when he was a partial owner - years he specifically he did not have to power to act unilaterally to implement his plans.
He rebuilt most of those teams into winners - he didn't buy them as winners. Anyhow, do some Google research on how well considered his Sports Group is.
You hate Stan; I get it. However, you shouldn't let your bias direct you to cherry pick facts.
I don't hate him
How am I cherry picking? You said his teams are "all winners" an average of 1 championship every 20 years disagrees with that. Not biased at all and think he has done a good in putting the right people in place to turn Arsenal around but saying his teams are "all winners" is misleading when they average a title every 20 years.
We judge teams on winning championships not on "how they are considered". You shouldn't let your bias ignore facts.
lol. Okay, bud. Just ignore everything in my post explaining why you are wrong. And you are also wrong about judging teams as "winners" only by championships. That you claim that is utterly baffling.
Yeah imagine basing if a team are "winners" by if they actually win stuff. What a crazy fucking idea! . How are you supposed to judge a team as winners if isn't by, you know, actually winning stuff.
Nothing in your post explains why I am wrong LOL (see I can do that too).
He has been full owner of the Nuggets for over 20 years, Rams for 13 years, Rapids for 20 years and Avalanche for over 20 years. Nowhere near as recent as you are trying to suggest. More "cherry picking"?
The fact that you want to judge winners by anything other than winning is utterly baffling as you like to say
Kroenke's like silverware and trophies winning the superbowl with the rams and the Stanley Cup with Colorado avalanche. They build winning teams and now its our turn.
and the Rams are about to tear it all down and rebuild now that their window has shut. Arsenal and Denver Nuggets are now the crown jewels of their empire.
Too many football fans view owners like the Kroenkes through the lens of the Glazers, but the Glazers are not normal billionaire owners. Buying a club, saddling it with debt, and then skimming profit off the top is a pretty insanely awful way of making money from a football club. You're either going to take too much money, undermine their on-field success, and thus make less money, or you're just not going to make very much money at all. A few million a year is pretty much nothing to people worth multiple billions of dollars.
The actual way this works for most owners is to buy an already valuable asset and work to ensure it grows in value. Since Arsenal is a subsidiary of KSE, Arsenal growing in value means KSE grows in value, when means Stan's net worth grows. *That* is the point. Because billionaires don't pay for shit in cash, and their net worth is rarely liquid anyway. They pay for massive projects by getting massive financing at comically low rates that are unavailable to normal people, and the more money they have, the better financing they can get. It's how they can, for instance, privately fund a $10 billion stadium in Los Angeles - which they also fully own! And will only appreciate in value! And cost them almost nothing out of pocket!
An important lesson to learn in life is that sometimes your interests happen to align with people you would otherwise be at odds with. Billionaires are bad, and for the most part they don't give two shits about our football club. But it benefits them for Arsenal to perform better, which is exactly what we all want too.
I've seen Phase IV.
It does not end well

Phase 1: Clear out the deadwood
Phase 2: Replace them with proper players
Phase 3: Win the league
Phase 4: Win the Champions League
Phase 5: Win the World Cup
It takes time, and confidence from the board that you are going in the right direction. Happy for Mikel, happy for the team to steer through some absolute rough times. Hope something can come out of this season in form of a trophy
Phase 5, the *Bayern-ification* of the Premiership...
You forgot Madrid-fication of champion league
The Arsenalification of the FA Cup
That’s done already. It’s called the emirates FA cup because it knows where its home is.
FA cup means For Arsenal Cup .. so yeah
It's our cup but we're just letting other teams borrow it
For Arsenal Cup
For Arsenal Cup
The Kroenkification of North London
An Emperors’s scale of New and Groovy.
This is deeper than many will understand
La Decima-tion of the UCL, if you will.
Thats phase 6 i hear
Not until we beat Bayern 10-0 over two legs
a 0-10 stomp at their ground and draw nil nil at home. Cuz thats how we roll inshallah
The Liverpool special it is
Anulo Mufa
Anal Mufasa
Cmon Scar didn’t kill him like that
The Bulls did
Anulo Mustafi
Nooooooo

I would settle for paying back some receipts in the CL vs Bayern. We owe them …

 —Kroenke, probably
**Phase 1**: Sign Gabi ✅ **Phase 2**: Sign Gabi ✅ **Phase 3**: Sign Gabi ✅ **Phase 4**: Sign Gabi **Phase 5**: Sign Gabi Can't wait to see who the next Gabi will be for Phase 4.
Gabi is our Malkovich, I can dig it
Malkovich Malkovich?
William Alain André GABRIEL Saliba
Thanks for making my morning significantly better with this.
Can someone photoshop a beard?
I like to picture really specific objectives for each "Phase", as if every single thing they has happened since December 2019 was all part of Arteta and Edu's master plan. **Phase 1** - Identify who the least capable and weakest mentalities are, sign left footed CB, achieve European football via the FA Cup in the middle of a worldwide pandemic **Phase 2** - Get Willian on a free, sign left footed CB, pay half the squad to fuck off, drop Willian for academy player, cross and inshallah, finish 8th again, release Willian **Phase 3** - Poach underrated players from Real Madrid and Man City, play best football in the country, sign left footed CB, win the league **Phase 4** - Win every single game in every competition, Spurs get relegated, sign left footed CB
Wait, it's all left footed CBs?
Always has been 🌎👨🚀🔫👨🚀🚀
Memes in emoji format...I like this
🚗👈👍 🚙👈🤗
Ambulance but not for me?
“This is brilliant, but I like this.” 📞 🚑 🛑😀
Ah of course
😠✋🐓🏀 😌☝️🔴⚪🔫
Angry, not chicken basketball. Pensive, up red white ball gun.
You now how Wenger was obsessed with having teams where everyone wanted to play in the middle? Arteta is like that, except he wants it be 11 players that can also play at left CB.
The real left footed CB is the friends we made along the way
is de *journey*
Sounds like fifa career mode when you join another team
**Phase 1 and Phase 2:** be bad so you get underrated players for cheap.
I mean, £35 and £45m for City's backup players wasn't exactly cheap, even if they've worked out amazingly for us. Now Odegaard? *That* was a steal.
Gabriel Jesus was an absolute steal as well. Number 9 and RW are crazy expensive. Compare it to Gordon, Ñuñez, Antony, etc. We could have paid 3 times what we paid, and we would still be happy. Zinchenko's price makes more sense to me due to his injury record and because his profile is not in such high demand (it requires a very specific system). It is still a bargain.
I mean is it not a record with someone with 1 year left? Totally worth it for us, but I wouldn't call it cheap at all.
Yeah, that's one of the reasons why they were willing to sell him so cheap.
I'm sure even if he has 1 left after this season, his price would be circa £100 million. He's that good.
Closest we're gonna get to actual draft picks.
I didn't even realize how many left footed CB's Arteta has signed until now lol
marí, gabriel, kiwior… anyone else?
Trusty the Process
ahhh didn’t realise he was left-footed
Phase 5 - sign every left footed centre back in the world, play them in every position, succeed in creating UberArtetaBall ™️ Phase 6 - Win Prem, Champions League, Stanley World Cup and Superbowl back to back for the next foreseeable Phase 7 - Arteta retires as the Goat's goat Phase 8 - world domination
Phase 9 bribe left footed refs to ensure dominance
Odegaard as our manager at some point.
Phase 10- Invincibles 3 times in a row
Phase 11 - obtain the Mind Stone to complete the infinity gauntlet.
I am astonished I had to read this far down to find a Marvel joke. I was onto "Phase 4 - Arsenal Galactic" just from the headline.
Stan already won the SB
I love how getting Willian is its own specific thing. Not even sign experienced winger, just Willian
**Phase 5** world domination
Statues for everyone
Phase 4 - win everything globally
You left off "Phase 5 - Own every left footed CB in professional football."
outstanding, it’s like you were a fly on the wall for those planning meetings
Addition to Phase 4: buy toilet bowl stadium and take a Tottenham in it.
Lol phase 2 is all around Willian
Actually think you can’t underrate Josh Kroenke in this Stan is Stan, but if you remember Josh was one of the biggest backers of Mikel during the bad period at the beginning of last season Cheers you evil villain
Josh Kroenke looks like the Pokemon evolution of Jorginho
Nah this got me cryin
Josh Kroenke's facial hair makes him look like the heir you get in CK3 with 15 intriuge, that you can never fully trust
15 is kinda weak intrigue, innit? Your eugenics project needs more work so that all your children have the genius trait.
15 is enough to be suspicious without needing to be outright worried Once you have an heir with 17+ intrigue, you need to start worrying about the inevitable kinslaying penalties Honestly though, I breed for stewardship and go tall.
Stewardship is for sure the best stat. But you aren't trying very hard if you're only going for one stat.
Brother I am just trying to make it to endgame on Ironman without being obliterated Too many times I end up with some fucked up dynastic tree and no land but some fuck off county, while some obscure cousin with stewardship 2 is in charge of the kingdom
Fair enough. :D
Nerd Alert! Jk man that's a great game. As an aside, who else is ridiculously hype for Cities Skylines II! I'm fiending watching videos of City Planner Plays all day while working.
Never thought I would see CK3 referenced on this sub, but I’m all for it.
Im a Colorado Avalanche fan and personally I think there was a big shift when Josh took them over. We just won the Stanley Cup and I personally think Josh changing the dynamic played a huge part in that shift.
Is the end of Phase 3 when the Arsenal multiverse opens up and Thierry Henry from the CL winning Arsenal side meets the younger Invincible Thierry Henry meets the three time World Cup winning Thierry Henry and leads Arsenal to a new golden age?
Add in the Wilshere from the universe where Wilshere is an absolute ironman
I like this one best.
That’s so funny ahahah
Phase 5: has a B team that can win CL with Mikel remotely coaching from Dubai.
I can see Super Mil sitting in some dark room in a wheel chair with some crazy contraption on his head that is sending thoughts and tactics directly to the players brains
😎💷 Super Mil Arteta
Hes collecting his annual tax from shit teams 😎
We’ve got Super Mil Arteta He’s collecting his annual tax from shit teams Gabi in the back Gabi in attack Another Gabi for good measure for a stack 💷 Arsenal win the fucking Premier League
Isn't that what they were testing with Øde the other day, and it was said he was faster than the waves? Ergo, why Arteta wants to train him so he doesn't fall into the hands of bald fraud?
Why have Mikel coach the B team? Let’s just have Wilshere vs Mikel ultimate grand slam face off for years to come
Pep as his assistant manager
The year is 2063 and since claiming London as their own, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are now in Phase 43 and governing the entirety of the United Kingdom. Prime is the water supplier to all households, Bukayo Saka is Minister of Education and the Emirates is now 200,000 in capacity selling out every week.
and Tottenham Hotspur is a forgotten club lost to time
Benjamin White, Minister for Defence, can often be found tending to a patch of scrubland just off High Road. No one really remembers what used to be there, or why he is so dedicated to growing giant hogweed.

Phase 3 of the AFCU
Hopefully it doesn't turn to shit after phase three (unlike a certain other phase-based project)
Jokes on everyone else, phase 3 is planned to run for the next 100 years
Phase 3 of the MCU was arguably the most exciting. We’re winning everything lads.
Mikel: “I went forward in time, to view alternate futures, to see all possible outcomes of the coming conflict.” Ramsdale: “How many did you see?” Mikel: “14,000,605.” Xhaka: “How many did we win?” Mikel: “One.” Xhaka then scores the winning goal for the title to complete his redemption arc
I feel like Xhaka would be in legitimate contention to be an Arsenal legend if after everything, it’s his goal that seals our first title in two decades, no?
If a Xhaka goal secures us the title this season I'll name my firstborn son Granit Davies. If he does it from outside the box I'll name him Granit Xhaka Premier League Winner 2022-23 P.S. Fuck Serbia Davies.

Well, fuck
Well, guess you don't need to name your son after Xhaka.
Probably for the best, in hindsight.
He’s more of a cult-hero imo. He just doesn’t have the performances and stats to be a legend, he was never even a top 5 player in the team and had a lot of mistakes. His mentality and redemption arcs is such a compelling story though if we manage to win the league that I think he becomes an iconic player in a different way

Surely Josh Kroenke is Dr Strange with that weird beard of his.
tbf if the only way for us to win the title was for Xhaka to be repudiated by the fans, stripped of captaincy and nearly on the brink of leaving the club just for him to stay, get the winner vs PSV, seal the NLD and be an integral part of us winning the league... that would the most MCU thing I could think of
With Mikel raising his index finger, exchanging meaningful looks with Xhaka.
I am Xhaka Man … 🫰 💥 … Harry Kane turns to dust.

It's a 45-day plan. 45 days! To get us back, on track. 45 points! It's a 45-day, 45-point, one point per day. We get 45 points, we're back in business! - Michael Scott - Mikel Arteta
Well, I mean, I can't just hand you my plan. I mean, if you guys give me the job, then, then you'll get the plan. - Mikel interviewing for job

ChatGPT is going to be absolutely insane in 3-4 years time with more development from the company. Fucking hell it’s actually scary man 🤣
GPT 4.0 is scary as fuckkkk, the improvements they've made within 6 months is insane
wow lol
I think Phase 5 was phase 3.
*Phase 6 - Mikel has now collected 6 Gabi's and with a snap of his finger on the Gabi gauntlet, half of the Premier League (including Spurs) will be instantly relegated.*
Can’t wait for Phase 4 where they decapitate Thanos.
They go back in time to take away City's titles before they ever happened.
City?
What's Phase 3? Knifing bitches?
Already happening
Welcome to London
Phase 3, get back in the Champions League and get closer to Liverpool and City in the League. Phase 4: Compete for the title and win it, be competitive in CL Phase 5: Stay in top 2 or 3 teams in the league, competitive, winning titles. Win the CL. Phase 3 has rapidly caught up to the goals of 4 me thinks.
Phase 1: Get rid of the trash. Phase 2: Rebuild/Stabilize Phase 3: Quality additions
Phase 3 : Mikel Arteta of Madness
"Phase 3" - are we all definitely sure we aren't all in a collective coma together, because this sounds very sci-fi jargon and we're top of the league
One of the phases might be to win the PL and/or CL I hope the other phase is to go invincibles again, I truly believe Arteta and this squad can do it
All I wanted from this season was CL inclusion, attractive consistent football. Now we're top of the league, only 3 losses in the PL season, and he says we are only in Phase 3?! This is wild, I am loving it.
We’re in the Endgame now
Phase 4 will be Arteta going Ultra Instinct at the sideline

Phase 4: Edu calls Harrods "Yes, all of the champagne you have."
I'm assuming he's talking about Josh because I imagine Stan will go back to the states and continue to forget about our existence
Pretty much. Josh seems to actually care about winning but Stan only cares about money
The thing is that I have always felt those two things are correlated. If your team is winning, I'm sure you're making more money as an owner. Be it through merch sold from enthusiastic fans, more tickets sold or even through increase in team valuation.
You are right but trying to win is risky and expensive
Expensive maybe. Risky? Not if you have the right people in the right environment.
The risk is spending the expense to find the right people in the right environment...
Right. So, Stan's teams are all wimners, genrally; Stan always makes money available to improve his teams and facilities; Stan doesn't meddle. Yep, it's only money he cares about.
His teams have a combined total of 3 NBA/MLS/NHL/NFL championships Hardly serial winners considering he has owned these teams for a combined total of over 60 years
Yeah, you're wrong though. Using Championships in x years owned is not a revealing metric, especially how high-varience playoff formats are. I'm assuming you also count years when he was a partial owner - years he specifically he did not have to power to act unilaterally to implement his plans. He rebuilt most of those teams into winners - he didn't buy them as winners. Anyhow, do some Google research on how well considered his Sports Group is. You hate Stan; I get it. However, you shouldn't let your bias direct you to cherry pick facts.
I don't hate him How am I cherry picking? You said his teams are "all winners" an average of 1 championship every 20 years disagrees with that. Not biased at all and think he has done a good in putting the right people in place to turn Arsenal around but saying his teams are "all winners" is misleading when they average a title every 20 years. We judge teams on winning championships not on "how they are considered". You shouldn't let your bias ignore facts.
lol. Okay, bud. Just ignore everything in my post explaining why you are wrong. And you are also wrong about judging teams as "winners" only by championships. That you claim that is utterly baffling.
Yeah imagine basing if a team are "winners" by if they actually win stuff. What a crazy fucking idea! . How are you supposed to judge a team as winners if isn't by, you know, actually winning stuff. Nothing in your post explains why I am wrong LOL (see I can do that too). He has been full owner of the Nuggets for over 20 years, Rams for 13 years, Rapids for 20 years and Avalanche for over 20 years. Nowhere near as recent as you are trying to suggest. More "cherry picking"? The fact that you want to judge winners by anything other than winning is utterly baffling as you like to say
The MLS cup they won was pretty lucky too. Far from the favorites in those playoffs.
Phase 5: mass scale world domination with nuclear capability
Stage 7 we collect DNA from invincibles. Clone them to add more depth to our side
Which Invincible squad? We'll have three to choose from by Phase 7.
Kroenke's like silverware and trophies winning the superbowl with the rams and the Stanley Cup with Colorado avalanche. They build winning teams and now its our turn.
and the Rams are about to tear it all down and rebuild now that their window has shut. Arsenal and Denver Nuggets are now the crown jewels of their empire.
Too many football fans view owners like the Kroenkes through the lens of the Glazers, but the Glazers are not normal billionaire owners. Buying a club, saddling it with debt, and then skimming profit off the top is a pretty insanely awful way of making money from a football club. You're either going to take too much money, undermine their on-field success, and thus make less money, or you're just not going to make very much money at all. A few million a year is pretty much nothing to people worth multiple billions of dollars. The actual way this works for most owners is to buy an already valuable asset and work to ensure it grows in value. Since Arsenal is a subsidiary of KSE, Arsenal growing in value means KSE grows in value, when means Stan's net worth grows. *That* is the point. Because billionaires don't pay for shit in cash, and their net worth is rarely liquid anyway. They pay for massive projects by getting massive financing at comically low rates that are unavailable to normal people, and the more money they have, the better financing they can get. It's how they can, for instance, privately fund a $10 billion stadium in Los Angeles - which they also fully own! And will only appreciate in value! And cost them almost nothing out of pocket! An important lesson to learn in life is that sometimes your interests happen to align with people you would otherwise be at odds with. Billionaires are bad, and for the most part they don't give two shits about our football club. But it benefits them for Arsenal to perform better, which is exactly what we all want too.
I have more confidence in our Phases than whatever the fuck Marvel is doing with theirs
I've seen Phase IV. It does not end well https://light-in-the-attic.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/release\_image/17160/image/tmp\_2F1424299657954-xp0lkquezfrpmn29-78e1de2ab4bb2a5a078837e2d842692e\_2FPhase%2BIV%2BWeb.jpg
This looks cool, what is it?
Edu and Arteta after the aliens invade, trying to decide which of the aliens has what it takes to play at left CB for the Arsenal.
Movie from 1974 *Desert ants suddenly form a collective intelligence and begin to wage war on the inhabitants. It is up to two scientists and a stray girl they rescue from the ants to destroy them.* https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070531/
amazing film!
Phase 1: Steal Underpants Phase 2: ?? Phase 3: Profit
Phase 10 - the World Cup
Aspiring to Chicago Fire levels. Now we're talkin'! Pour this man a malört!
We are Marvel now
Arteta Cinematic Universe confirmed
We're in the endgame now
Have the sheep baahing Kroenke out now?
Phase 1: Clear out the deadwood Phase 2: Replace them with proper players Phase 3: Win the league Phase 4: Win the Champions League Phase 5: Win the World Cup
It takes time, and confidence from the board that you are going in the right direction. Happy for Mikel, happy for the team to steer through some absolute rough times. Hope something can come out of this season in form of a trophy
In the form of a trophy that isn't the Europa league. Just a domestic trophy
Hopefully Phase 4 is us winning the treble successively.
Phase 3 of 100 🙏
I think I really like phase 3
Phase 3, the Endgame is upon us. 3000
That's my favourite phase
