Maybe what he wanted to express here is more along the lines of "we have to play like we believe we are the biggest club in England"?

Arteta: Arsenal are biggest club in England
New Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes he’s taken over “the biggest football club in England” in a statement that will shock Manchester United supporters.
That moniker has traditionally been applied to either United or Liverpool in English football, but Arteta made the claim ahead of his first home match in charge of the Gunners, speaking to Sky Sports:
Of course he doesn't believe that. He's using it to build the confidence of the team.
Probably going back to the 1930's and Herbert Chapman's time.Oh wow..
The level of disillusionment, trying to win the fans.
At what point in football history Arsenal is the biggest club in England?
Wow..12:45

How would that work? If anything they'll think he is either a liar or a moron.
Arsenal have been brilliant against Chelsea - just in time to play us which is typical!
They’ve been good in every department, defended well, recovered the ball well, good shape, worked hard.
Obvious limitation at the moment is the quality of the players!
That entire back line needs replacing. It’s a big task.You can be the fanciest Dan there is, you can’t legislate for dreadful players.

I thought they were shit
granted I only watched the second half
thought Chelsea turned the screw and were good value for the win
Way too soon to judge any manager. By the end of January we'll know if he's cut out for Arsenal
He was unlucky today, can't legislate for Leno doing what he did. For the first 30 they were battering us.
Expected given their energy levels, aren't use to high intensity. But the fact that Arteta has come in and Arsenal have probably produced their two standout performances of the season (from hearing the radio reports) bodes well.They controlled the game in the first half but worked really hard. Despite dominating the ball in reality they created next to nothing and scored from a set piece. They were terrible in the second half.
Is that how we do it though? Because if it is, Ole should be worshipped by everyone here.. We would probably be 2nd if we hadnt fecked up so many times..He was unlucky today, can't legislate for Leno doing what he did. For the first 30 they were battering us.
We'll demolish them on their own turf. I'm pretty confident.
