Nah, I'm pretty sure it's the antics.
Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch

It definitely is the windmilling.
Definitely the antics. I'm actually ok to see the Arse at the top over Liverpool, City or Chelsea but my god Arteta really behaves like a cnut.
The fact the technical area means nothing to him and it doesn’t get picked up is what bothers me, he can dance and swing his arms around all he wants. That applies to any manager
I'm developing a sort of begrudging respect for him, genuinely never thought he'd be anything more than a fraud.
He's an annoying wanker though.
Yeah, the one good thing about the obscene cash in football is all clubs can offer high wages now. For example, Saka getting paid 250,000 at Arsenal is probably enough to keep him from going to City, PSG etc. You'll always get the Pogbas where 250,000 isn't enough, but truth is you don't even want those players in your squad (except for insanely talented players like Mbappe and Haaland).
The big issues for Arsenal will be to 1) continue challenging, and 2) to keep Arteta (assuming this isn't a one season wonder).
Yup. Pretty much the "It's not United, I just hate Ferguson" vibe.
I love how half a good season is suddenly the reason he's thought of as a gobshite, conveniently forgetting the badgering of the VAR and all the other touchline bollocks of last year.
Can't think of a more boring manager. He is to Pep is what Elizabeth Holmes to Steve Jobs. A copycat with barely half the talent and dislikeable for his antics.
If Arteta wins the league with Arenal, it's a better achievement than any of Peps league titles.
At least pep can occasionally be funny with his…
Two, two, twooooooooo.
Happy new year.

Aye. Arsenal fans are now trying to spin it as ‘rival fans only dislike him because he’s doing well’ no, we don’t like him because he’s an insufferable cnut and has been for the last 3 years even when doing utter shite.
He's disliked because he's a dull whinging knobhead. No one dislikes him more now because they're doing well 
he was mocked relentlessly for his behaviour when he was doing poorly.
he was mocked relentlessly for his behaviour when he was doing poorly.I missed the days when everyone in Redcafe said Arteta is a fraud/shit. Once Arteta lose a few games or if he doesn't win the league this season then it will be back.
Pretty sure your own fans said that, or at least hated him more than here. We mostly just dismissed him as he was never a threat.
I do not care for City. At least they're Mancs.
I am happily ABA as I live Daaaahn Saaarf in exile and the history; Liverpool then Arsenal for me.
Everyone I speak with gassing up Mr. Playmobil is forgetting this is just halfway due to the WC; IF Arsenal can maintain pace and this gap or extend it during their run in February in the PL then congrats, they'll probably have just enough and they are playing solid football...
BUT.. and it's a humongous BUT..
They don't call the last odd games Squeaky Bum Time for nothing;
Pressure can do incredible things.
Just look at those matches last season with Top 4 seemingly locked off and they essentially crumbled.
I wouldn't bet against something similiar happening if City keep pace with them going into April..

I reckon the majority of Arsenal fans were saying the same before this season.. or have you conveniently forgotten?
What about all the Arsenal fans that were calling him shit and begging for him to be sacked not long ago
Okay sir.. Thank you for clearing that up for us...
If the club had listened to your own fans he’d have been out the door long ago. Arsenal fans have given him more stick than anyone.
Yep all Arsenal fans were behind Arteta right? There were no calls for Arteta out ever.
There were no T-Shirts made saying Arteta out by your fan base.
It is ok. That's why they are only the "fans" and not the management of the club.
So why you so bothered what the opposition fans think of your manager when your own fans never backed him
Who said I am bothered? I missed those days.
I will be bothered/more worried if all fans from other clubs wish Arteta stayed as Arsenal head coach/manager forever.

Conte isn't comparable. He's much more theatrical (more of an actual character).
No doubt, but we're not talking about "hate" here, just that Lego Pep is annoying.
I maintain that he is annoying.
(But obviously, the main reason anyone has a problem with him is the fact that he's about to win the league with Arsenal.)
I can't stand him
I always liked Mourinho, something of the lovable scrote about him and a surprisingly graceful loser
He’s a tool but I think if they win the league he may deserve the ‘Lego Pep’ tag dropped.
2nd real test of the season. 2nd loss.
Jesus, he looks like he's aged 20 years in 2 hours
You'd never have guessed he'd played for Everton for 7 years.
Arsenal rocked up today seemingly under the impression Lampard was still managing Everton and thought it would be a gentle stroll to three points.
Three defeats out of three for Arteta at Goodison Park since he became a manager.

This is a Library!!! This is a Library!!!!
It’s a pity they snuck that win against us a fortnight ago as we all suspected this wobble would come and it would’ve been fantastic to have been within touching distance when it did.
It might be dramatic to suggest so but I suspect they may freefall now the infallibility factor is gone. Their squad is defunct of experienced leaders and they’re the type of players they’ll need now. Arteta himself isn’t exactly well versed in coping with pressure either, mind.

You absolutely fecking love to see it 
That fecking VAR decision not to give us a Penalty for that foul against palace has literally cost us a fecking title challenge, fuming.
They're still on course for 100 + points so a little bit premature. Man. City of course couldn't beat Everton a few weeks back.
That said they have plenty of tricky aways still to negotiate. Us, Man. City, Liverpool, Newcastle and even West Ham towards end of season won't be easy.
Their aim will be to win all their remaining home games and not to lose the Man. City home match and they'll still be in a very good position to win the league if that occurs.
Have a look how many away games you won in 10/11 as a nice little guide to that.
Wenger's record at Goodison by contrast was solid. Clearly Arteta can't get his players to perform in the big arenas like Old Trafford.
Don't forget that Arsenal still have to go to St James and Anfield.
