If you could work with one manager on a vid, who would it be? BILLY SAYS: “Jose Mourinho! I’ve heard if you catch him on the wrong day, it’s a nightmare! But if you catch him on a good day, he’s unbelievable! He’s someone I’d definitely want to work with!” JEZ SAYS: “Pep Guardiola, Zinedine Zidane or Mourinho for me!” Billy, do you still think Alexis Sanchez should be made Arsenal captain? BILLY SAYS: “100% – he’s a leader! I love the way he plays, so even when he’s not on the ball I still watch him. He’s always talking, instructing, bringing his team together, pushing them forward. I stand by it! I think he’d be an unbelievable captain and it may keep him at the club!” JEZ SAYS: “You…

ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE has a serious hoodoo to overcome at The Emirates this season! The ARSENAL new boy doesn’t just have the pressure of firing The Gunners to a title challenge in 2017-18!

SPEED MACHINE RAJIV SAYS: “The fastest player at the club is definitely myself. Come on, I am quick! Maybe Kasey Palmer is almost as fast as me, though.” STRONG MAN RAJIV SAYS: “Oh, Sean Scannell is the strongest. He can bench a lot in the gym! When he has the ball you can hardly get it off him!” MEGA BRAIN RAJIV SAYS: “I would have to say midfielder Jonathan Hogg. When he talks he sounds really clever, so I think he’s probably the smartest.” GOLDEN OLDIE RAJIV SAYS: “Dean Whitehead.
