Am I more justified now to say that I disagree with this Jatz?

Not to me...someone else might feel more sympathetic towards it though haha

So you think Lampard deserves it?

It will be interesting to see if Frank Lampard has learnt his lesson after his Chelsea stints and becomes a career mid table manager or if he takes the first job from a big club again.

Yes. I said that when they announced it.

Ok, was just checking in case any of the events since then might have changed your mind but all good.

Wouldn't have been opposed to Iraola or Le Bris winning this but happy for Mikel

Arteta deserves it, he had a huge amount of pressure to deliver a big trophy and he did it.

For me Iraola, Andrews, Emery and Arteta all have claims. I'd probably give it to Iraola.

Arteta's set piece coach deserves it more than him.

Arsenal supporters: Bruno shouldn’t have won POTS from 3rd.

Also Arsenal supporters: Arteta not winning MOTS from 1st would have been fine.

I don't think the manager who wins the league should automatically win MOTS.

Le Bris has taken a promoted side straight to Europe. Unheard of.
Iraola lost half his XI to bigger clubs and made Europe for the first time in the clubs history. Remarkable.

Both would've been worthy winners.

As for Bruno - I simply think there were players who had better seasons than him.

• Haaland had more goal contributions, doesn't get talked about because it was a below par season by his elite standards, which is crazy to say. 35 G/A in 35 appearances.
• Semenyo was unreal at Bournemouth and then seamlessly slotted into a title challenging City side, was arguably their best player from the moment he joined.
• Rice was an absolute midfield monster all season in a title winning side. Played at 8, played at 6, played at right back, bossed it every time he stepped on the pitch. Will be in the Ballon d'Or conversation if we win the UCL or if England win the World Cup.
• Raya has elevated himself to being one of the best keepers in the world. 19 clean sheets, plenty of match winning saves, he is up there with the best now.
• Gabriel was a general in a side that conceded 27 goals in 38 games. Scored a few big goals too, 7 G/A from centre half.

There are players who put up bigger numbers than him, and had a bigger impact than him IMO.
