I am waiting for the day an opposition player or even his own player clatters him as he ignores the technical area and wanders so close to the pitch. I would pay to watch that happen!

Normally I'd happily report this wishing of injury to a team member but for once I'm going to quietly suppose it is going to happen eventually.

How he's allowed to walk on the pitch all the time is absolutely ridiculous.

I wish KDB had punched him. I am glad a player finally showing his place. Been watching football for more than 2 decades now, never seen a manager do what he tries to do.

Well at least KDB shoved him, it's a start.

Great by KDB. That annoying plastic feker kicked the ball on purpose.

He certainly comes across like he’s not fully adjusted into the managerial mindset after retiring. Does all the petulant stuff you expect from players.

This guy is a jumped up little prick! He alone is almost enough to despise Arsenal, but then you remember Piers Morgan and the rest of their cretinous, arrogant fanbase.

As per usual Lego Pep, it was 100% Arsenal's fault for the defeat by gifting City 3 easy goals :rolleyes:

Keane pointed it out last year and ever since I dislike Arteta in interviews, never gives credit to the other team.

Let’s not forget that Lego Pep has been backed very heavily and they have spent almost as much as United over the last 4 seasons.

And that includes City selling them players on the cheap.

This is no underdog run.

It’s pretty obvious not even his own team can stand him, not a single person from his coaching team or players rushed to defend him against kdb. They probably all think he’s an overcompensating knob.

Always make me wonder what happened here. Very rare to see someone who negotiated hard for the extra year in the contract, just to voluntarily end up tearing up the remaining 2 year, and left the money for transfer away.

I know someone who works at arsenal around the players specifically. I get the gist that behind the scenes, you're completely right.

I'm glad he rediscovered his form at Fulham and his decision to break his contract was a classy move. But i cannot remember a player who put in less effort in every aspect of his game than Willian at Arsenal. He was lazy, off rythm, full of mistakes wether he started or subbed in. It was horrible and Arteta had nothing to do with it, he was way more patient with him than anyone else.

Why is he allowed to behave the way he does and constantly infringe on the players space? It’s very odd that there aren’t some rules against this.

Glad to see a player fed up with his bullshit

Could someone please tell me what that penalty was for.
Ederson came together into Nketiah, after the latter got the shot off. Not sure it's a foul though. It's just the momentum.

This kind of decision makes it hard to goalkeeping and defending.

Cracks are starting to show, won’t be long until “Arteta out” chants are heard at the Emirates again.
