What Mourinho Saw in Arteta When Arsenal Were 15th
6 December 2020: Arsenal are 15th, Mikel Arteta is being written off, and José Mourinho's Spurs have just beaten them. Then Mourinho walks over to the Sky Sports camera and says: "Arsenal will be Arsenal again." What did he see that the pundits missed? The shape, the build-up, and the part of a team you can't buy, with Roy Keane, Graeme Souness, Gary Neville, Jürgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Mourinho's own words. Plus the case against: six years of digs, and autumn numbers that looked mid-table. Six years to the day, Spurs host the champions again this Sunday. On Wednesday, Mourinho brings Real Madrid to the Emirates. If you'd heard him say it in December 2020, with Arsenal 15th, would you have believed him? Yes or no?
