Why are Arsenal agreeing to be humiliated on All Or Nothing?
Arsenal have finished 8th in consecutive seasons, our lowest finish in the top division in over 25 years. So its safe to say that we currently are witnessing one of the worst squads in two decades. We have made a habit of paying talent to rip up their contracts, its now common practice for players to be verbally abused by their own fans, protests are planed against the ownership of the Kroenke Family, we have lost our status as being one of the most entertaining sides to watch, and for the first time since 1995 we will have zero European Football. With the current mess we are in, its hard enough watching live every week. What I dont need is a reminder in the form of a Documentary to be broadcast to the world. Yet thats what happening, with Arsenal confirming they are the next side to be involved in Amazons All or Nothing Series. Well thats exactly what we are doing. These projects rarely benefit those involved. The exception perhaps being Man City but thats because viewers were generally fascinated to see how Pep Guardiola works. The idea of a behind the scenes access to Mikel Arteta struggling to finish in the top 8 isnt fun. Its hard to believe the Spaniard is in favour of this. For a man who spoke about being our values back and not accepting a lack of standards, this makes him look weak. I just couldnt imagine Mr Wenger agreeing to something that simply humiliates the club by airing our dirty laundry to the public. It wont even be entertaining in a car crash point of view like the brilliant Sunderland Till I Die. Its actually a potent reflection of the Americans running of the club. He makes a decision purely based on making at the expense of whats best for the team. He then sits in the US while everyone else suffers. As we are being laughed at, hes got 10 million in the bank. Second only to City, thats the most any Football team has been paid by a streaming service for access. For that price, Amazon will be allowed to film without too many restrictions. So we get to see awkward team talks with our manager playing to the camera. Training ground rows will no longer be private. There will be cameos from AFTV. There will be a player picked on every episode. Probably Bellerin. Then, at a time he needs protecting from the spotlight, Saka will be one of the faces of the show. Being in round 2 of the Carabao Cup is humbling enough without Amazon filming it. Our peers used to call us The Arsenal because we had a reputation of doing things the right way. We acted with class. Mr Wenger suggested that we were in danger of losing our values. When supporting Daniel Eks bid to buy the club, Henry, Viera and Bergkamp spoke about us losing our DNA. We should be embarrassed how far we have fallen, mortified, upset. We should be having a meeting to ensure it never happens again. Instead we are inviting cameras into our house to film the carnage. On the week Man United sign Sancho, we make 10 million. Not based on our success on the pitch. No. Amazon are not paying us millions because we a good team. Its because Arsenal the brand sells no matter what. Thats Arsenal in 2021  Be Kind in The Comments  Dan
