Thierry has admited that he watches other players in football in order to add to his own game.
This is what he said...
"It might surprise you but I do watch games even in the Championship.
"I'm not afraid and scared to say that sometimes I look at other players.
"For example I can look at Paul D!ckov, the way he moves because he's always moving everywhere.
"For another type of game, I watch Davies, to see what he does to annoy players - not in a bad way - but just looking to see him in a situation.
"I put it in my brain and maybe it'll pop out without me knowing.
"When I watch the game, I watch how the players are moving. I'm not following the ball."
"I am passionate. I love the game. I watch a lot of games on TV.
"I do sometimes love to speak to Arsene about games involving other teams or us.
"We talk about how people are playing. I do think to be a great boss you have to be a good man-manager.
"You have to know what to do on the training pitch obviously but managing the players is the most difficult thing I think from what I've seen."
The Skipper said: "It's like when you used to see Ajax, they had this tradition of passing the ball and that's what Arsene has brought here.
"We did win some ugly games like the FA Cup final against Man Un!ted - if that was a boxing match they would have stopped the game.
"But I still think that now we have an identity and people now recognise Arsenal by the way we play.
"Everybody has their own way. I don't know if 'boring, boring Arsenal' was fair. They won some stuff too, even playing like that.
"But now we are winning stuff, playing like this. Arsene has changed the view people have of the club.
"When I walk in London or even abroad, people come up and say: 'I'm not an Arsenal fan but I love to see you play'. That's because of Arsene."
The striker said: "I don't know if he can live without football. Thankfully for us that's just him. This is his life.
"When you go through all your active life, every morning training, every Saturday and Wednesday a game, you don't want to stop.".
TH14 has also revealed of his admiration for the Mickey Mousers...
"A kid asked me on Wednesday if I would have liked to play for another team. Straight away I said Liverpool."
"First of all, I would have loved to play with Steven Gerrard and second I like the club and their fans. There’s something about Anfield that you can’t explain."
"I love it when you step out of the dressing-room and you see the Kop, the scarves, and [hear people] singing You’ll Never Walk Alone. Just that, that would do it for me."
"Obviously it can never happen because I love Arsenal too much. There can never be a possibility of playing anywhere else in England."
Those last two lines are music to my ears!!!
Le Boss has insisted that he will mark his decade in charge not by looking back, but by looking forward.
