00:00I don't like the way this is developing. I mean, as you said, I think the rivalries in

00:04the past, probably the easiest one is Arsenal and Manchester United to go back to. That

00:10was because Arsenal won the league, Manchester United won the league, and you've got champions

00:14against champions. I think with Arteta's team at the moment, if they win the league, then

00:22this rivalry will intensify. At the moment, it's kind of like Man City keeps swatting

00:28off an annoying fly at the moment because they keep winning the title. I'm looking at

00:32it purely as a footballing side of things. City play football. You don't see any of the

00:37dark arts, whereas Arsenal have footballers, but they employ a lot of dark arts, and I

00:41think that's where the rivalry becomes really great.
