The speakers on the training ground to replicate the Anfield atmosphere was cringeworthy too, but the way he handled Aubameyang was top class. He does some odd things at times but he's doing them for the right reasons, Arsenal are lucky to have him but equally he's lucky to have Arsenal because they've stuck by him.
Well he's doing something right atm cos they're top.
He has spent loads at Arsenal. probably around £250m
However he bought all the right players and bought them young so, they are sellable assets. So, if it went wrong they could get something back for them. And the Youth setup has come through with some gems all at the same time which is very useful.

Good manager, but not cheap.
he has also bought a lot of dross over his time at Arsenal.

I thought Arteta had generally done well in the transfer market? White, Saliba, Odegaard, Partey etc. Whereas the manager before him was busy spending £80m on Pepe!
The player I think Arsenal would do well to sign in January is Eze. He’d be cheaper than Mudryk at £80m and he’s proven in the Premiership. And he’d provide cover across the attack for them. Not to mention the obvious benefit to us!
Was quite shocked at Newcastle who had only seen on highlights previously where seemed 70’s Brazil - more like 90’s Wimbledon last night. You have to have set tactics to drop clutching your head every 5mins even if not practiced?! If that was a WC game would’ve been 15mins added time. Hope Arteta does have some good relaxation techniques…

I had a quick look at all his signings, didn't know quite a number. Reviewing it after what you said, was thrown by £23m Magalhaes being who we call Gabriel, and a couple more similarly. I concede!

Deary, me. That is fu cking awful. The sort of sh it a facilitator comes out with when you’re on the world’s worst works away day, in the conference room of a disappointing hotel in Stevenage.
What was going through his head when he came up with that? I reckon the players would have got his point without him spinning round and waving an illuminated light bulb in their faces. He could have blinded someone. If Pat Rice was still there in his shorts, he’d have talked him out of it. That’s the sort of sh it I’d expect from Tony Adams, Joey Barton, or Phil Brown.

Cos Eddie Howe has blonde hair and a child's face everybody forgets that his Bournemouth team were absolute fcking shthouses.
I actually thought he was very naive the other night. His touchline behaviour fed through to the team who lost their composure a little as well.
He's doing an incredible job there though. The amount of crap he has cleared out has been incredible. Even harder to do when you have w*nkers like Piers Morgan sounding off to their millions of followers because you didn't sign a striker. He came in for dogs abuse when he got rid of Aubameyang and let Lacazette run down his deal, but he stuck to his beliefs and now has two of the best wide forwards in the league, the best creative midfielder bar De Bruyne and spent his money wisely on a striker with a decent home grown back up.
Obviously Paul Merson is on TV saying he needs to go out and spend loads on the latest flavour of the month though

On your first line, he did something similar at Anfield the season before last, got involved with Klopp on the touchline, backfired badly they lost 4-0.
Have the FA/PL still got respect on their 'mission statement'?
If so I think it got forgotten, for the umpteenth time and by numerous figures, with Arteta's behavior last night.
I couldn't believe Dan Burn was allowed to chase a referee down the pitch throwing his arm at him and calling him every name under the sun either - and that was one of decisions madley got right.
They need to get back to the captain being the only one who can talk to the referee, and the crowding and intimidating him which is now just absolutely commonplace in every premier League game I watch, needs to bring multiple yellows.

I know everyone refers to the old chestnut of comparing respect for officials in rugby vs. football - but having only captains approach the ref is surely the easiest win, to start with?
Playing Sunday League you'd get some refs who wouldn't stand for any foul and abusive language (they'd warn everyone before kick off) and would book you straightaway for that. Mystifying really why it goes totally unchecked in the professional game.

Sadly, Madley lost control of most aspects of that game on Monday. I thought it was a big ask for him to do it so soon after he'd had an eccentric day out at Palace v Fulham. Ball in play 43 minutes, Newcastle timewasting from the off - adds two and five minutes. Goes through five minutes of booking everybody for everything, then realises he's going to end up with nine-a-side so tries to stop but then the next three tackles were all yellow cards so he just looked wildly inconsistent. The dissent he put up with without booking people was nuts, crowds of players pursuing him around the pitch.
Conte sprinting down the entire side everytime Chelsea scored used to annoy me . Then sure enough he did the same thing at Spurs until he realized they are not qualifying for Europe then demands more money what a tool. Arteta has the making of a brilliant coach but his behaviour yesterday was pretty pathetic .Eddie Howe came off looking calm and collected until he had enough of the b.s. Newcastle did act the wan*ers a lot though doing their best PNE and throwin a lot of dirty tackles in so I can see why Arteta was angry . Just like Haaland in the second time around getting the crap kicked out of him , Arsenal are going to be stopped come hell or high water IMO
And the Newcastle players were 'in the face' of the referee, who really needed first to warn about it and then, assuming they took notice, dish out some yellow cards.

Not surprisingly I agree with that.
Said it before, absolutely pointless bringing in yellow/red cards for the technical area and then hardly ever using them.

Reason being verbal abuse can lead to physical abuse at grassroots, so you HAVE to stamp on it.
Referees are not going to get assaulted at the professional level so they are told to put up with it.
Totally disagree with that approach, but as Clive's example illustrates, its obvious what the policy is when you see most verbal dissent/abuse totally ignored.
