From Jim Johnson:
It just dawned on me.
Non-playing club captains (Vermaelan, Arteta, Mertesecker) and a who’s-been-here-the-longest appointment policy to injury-in-play armband wearing is just Arsene’s way of saying “I’m the boss.”
How could I not see this?
No wonder PV4, MK5, TA6 and TH14 have never been encouraged back…
