Arteta also said our goal came from a long ball

I think he said if you have a 1 goal lead you are always vulnerable to a long ball, set piece etc, I don't think he was describing the move as such.

“It’s just one long ball, a second ball and then someone put it in the goal from an incredible angle,” Arteta lamented. “It’s difficult to control it.”

John Fleck’s late strike stuns Arsenal to gain Sheffield United a point

Sheffield United denied Arsenal a home victory in the Premier League when John Fleck’s 83rd-minute goal earned the visitors a 1-1 draw

By no means the only instance where Arteta seemed to be suffering from Wenger Vision on Saturday.

We had no chances in the second half, he felt. The most revealing example, though, was after 20 mins(ish?) in the first half, when he clearly suggested to the ref that we were time-wasting. Because, obviously, we had come for a 0-0. Playing 2 up top. Having had the better of the opening exchanges. And having had a right go away from home all season.

But, massive Arsenal and all that.

I don’t think I like him very much.

I didn’t mind. It shows how far we’ve come that they don’t even bother to say ‘what a good result for little Sheffield United’ anymore.

We don't need any kind of endorsement from MoTD. Happy for us to keep quietly going about our business climbing up the league.

No Penalty .... that’s my VARdict

JOC puts leg out to tackle, then withdraws it before any contact. Arsenal player then nudges into his thigh and takes a dive. Clear simulation for me.....not only MOTD pundits but Sunday’s SKY pundits (including Christmas Kamara) incorrectly judge it a pen, in my view. Let’s see what Dermot Gallagher says on RefWatch in the morning....

It was that blatant a mistake - it's not even covered on Ref Watch

I liked him as a player Arteta but he wasn't half chatting some utter bollocks in his post match interview. I think even that Arsenal youtuber HughWhizzy correctly called Arteta out on some of his comments. It was like Arteta was in denial that the Blades had done well at all.

I clearly saw Luiz telling the ball boys to slow down returning the ball around the 50 minute mark. It is what it is.

Arteta is a moaner, he was the same as a player running to the ref at every opportunity. He had the nerve to appeal Aubmaneyang's ankle breaker tackle,saying the player was sad at getting a card, poor guy.
Instead of admitting it was a red and Aubmaneyang was happy that the player wasn't injured.

Arteta sounded like a right sour mardy cunt
