“I’ll NEVER make an apology!” – which ex-Arsenal star says he was “actually p***ed off” with how he was handled earlier than leaving”
“It’s not irrelevant as a result of the basics of soccer by no means actually change; management, self-discipline, concern. Do groups concern enjoying Arsenal? No.”
Mikel Arteta hasn’t been spared Collymore’s wrath both.
Management and totally different optics wanted for Arsenal
