3 days less prep time, and they spend it reenacting The Wicker Man. Even if they manage to cheese and grind a result out, they're never living this down.
Hopefully we can say on Sunday that it was a funeral pyre.

He really goes out of his way to make their club a giant meme, doesn’t he?

They need to do a little Footloose fight dancing to ensure victory

Self fulfilling prophecy. They will burn to the ground.

That article makes it sound like he did this fire stunt before sporting.
>Before the midweek tie against Sporting, Arteta asked his side to play with “pure fire” – though ultimately, they limped to the semi-finals with a 0-0 draw.
>”No fear, pure fire. That’s it,” he said before the game.
>”Pure fire, that’s what I want to see from the players, the people, myself.”
>And to bring the metaphor to life, the [Arsenal](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/teams/arsenal) manager lit a fire at the training ground while delivering his rousing speech to his players.
So either – He did this to hype them up for a match they came out and drew 0-0 and this stupid fire idea was a non-factor. Or he made this metaphor, drew midweek and then still wouldn’t let it go and doubled down by lighting an actual fire. Amazing work.

I don’t know what’s Arteta’s relationship with light, but all I know is that it isn’t really working out

Meanwhile, Pep calmly lights a cigar.
All the confidence (and fire) we need.
Sunday can’t come quick enough, boys.
‘Stay thirsty, my friends.’

Imagine losing to this though…
I hope the players realize that they basically left themselves no margin for error and basically need to win every single game from here on out especially the one against arsenal

He should light the bylines on fire so they have to learn to win without corners.

Build a bonfire, build a bonfire,
Put Arsenal on the top,
Put Arteta in the middle,
And burn the fucking lot.

Am I dense or did no one read the article that says it wasn’t him who lit the fire?
