3 takeaways from Arsenal: All or Nothing episodes 1-3

The long-anticipated debut of All or Nothing: Arsenal was released this week. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the series since it was announced that Amazon would be documenting the club’s 2021/22 campaign.

The first three episodes of the series were released which cover the start of the season up until the December loss at Goodison Park and there is a lot to discuss so far.

3 takeaways from Arsenal: All or Nothing episodes 1-3

Here are my top three takeaways.

1. Inside Access

One of the most exciting things about the series was going to be the inside look at the club, players, and, most importantly, Mikel Arteta. The direct views of Arteta’s team talks and how he interacts with the team and especially the higher-ups was a very interesting inside look into how the club is run and structured.

One of the standout moments was a conversation between Josh Kroenke and Arteta after the third defeat to begin the season. The reassurances from Josh that Mikel would turn it around pained a pretty clear picture of how the Spaniard is viewed in the eyes of his superiors.

Seeing how the team interacts and prepares for matches was very cool to see as well. The image of Arteta hugging team photographer Stuart MacFarlane after the North London Derby was pretty touching at the time, but with the newly added context of MacFarlane’s rousing team talk before the match, it makes the moment even more special.
