With inside access comes interviews with everyone involved at Arsenal. There are a lot of big personalities at the club and seeing players like Nuno Tavares, Kieran Tierney, and Bukayo Saka get their moments to talk was pretty cool. Seeing a different side of Aaron Ramsdale was the most interesting to me. The guy is passionate and that reflects on the pitch, but it takes another level of competitor to be p*ssed off after conceding when you win 3-1. He’s got a serious mindset.

Tierney didn’t have all that much to say in his time on screen but he says in the doc that he likes to make the little he says, count. He opens up about the dark time in his life when he first moved to the club and was very vulnerable about mental health and friends who have struggled through it. It was cool to see that side of him and talk about something that he’s dealt with during his time at the club.

Arteta is the main focus of the documentary, getting his insight and how he interacts with players and how they speak about him, it is no wonder why he has been stuck by. He is shown to be a leader who inspires confidence and belief. His team talks can come off a bit cheesy, but that is kind of the nature of that sort of thing. He is a very passionate guy that cares for his players and wants them to succeed, and I can’t help but root for him.
