I don't trust anything an Arsenal or PSG supporter has to say about him.

Arsenal finished 5th (one point off Spurs and two points off Chelsea) and were Europa League Runners Up in a year which that club completely cannibalized itself. Other clubs' supporters were beginning to watch AFTV as comedic relief to point and laugh at how ridiculous and deluded they were. They wanted Arteta's head on a stick and now they are all eating crow.

..and PSG is PSG. No one cares.

I, for one, am ecstatic with the appointment. Finally a manager that doesn't have any question marks when it comes to his quality.
