Add me to the camp that find Arteta intensely irritating. Arsenal's fans won't care a jot, and why should they, but it's at best poor sportsmanship and he's the main reason why I hope City beat you to the title, despite the fact that I always root against the sugar daddy clubs.
Ironically, even though he is instrumental in the rise of this team, I also believe that he is the biggest threat to them not winning the title this season. It feels like he has created a very intense pressure cooker environment there, and his composure often seems to be on a knife edge. He behaved quite badly in the Newcastle draw and similarly so yesterday, and this is with everything going well. When those setbacks do happen I can see his attitude starting to have a negative effect on the team.
