Damn mosquitoes at the emirates
he’s cracking up, he’s cracking up
Lego Peps cracking up
Lego Peps cracking up
Easily the most unlikable manager in the league
His Pep impression in post match interviews is cringy as feck

I think that's the point though. Pep does it too, I'm guessing it's supposed to show the players how much he cares so they care as well. In any case it gets tiresome fast.
I Really don't want City or Liverpool to win again, but my god i'm not sure I can put up with Arteta winning it either. He is deplorable.
He’s allowed to do as he pleases, week after week. A total cnut.
I guess it will have to be us then!
Shearer rightfully tearing into Arteta and his post match interview.
Never stays in his technical area and the cnut is never called on it.
Need to beat Citeh and really go for the throat at the Melterates.
The league isn't won after 17 games.
Didn’t say it was? Funnily enough I don’t think they’ll win it myself, it’ll be between the two Manchester clubs as the season goes on
Amazing what a few wins against some of the worst sides in the league will do for your confidence (yes I know we lost to Forest but that doesn't mean they're any good). You'll end up a minimum of 10-12 points off of the top imo.
City will end up going on a run and doing the job but I think Arsenal will be close.

Tell us how you really feel Lego
Only reason why we have a run of wins v poor sides is because we played harder games earlier on in the season? It’s not like we’re only beating these weak sides, only Arsenal have won more games than us and we’ve matched Arsenals record over the last 15 games. It’s a team that hasn’t conceded a goal when Varane and Casemiro have been on the pitch together. Only three teams have scored v Varane this season, It’s like 8 clean sheets in last 9 home games
Theres hopes and dreams and there’s ignoring what’s happening on the pitch. As I said earlier on in the season. It was a God send that we were winning through Ten Hags setting in phase because, if you believe in him, we’ll get better as the season goes on simply by adapting to his methods.
Well here we are.
You won't come near winning the league imo. You've clearly improved but you don't have the goals in you to win it. Using your logic Newcastle have a very good shot. One defeat this season (in a game they were unlucky to lose), 32 scored (five more than United) and only 11 conceded (best defense in the league). Their form runs back to the second half of last season as well.
Lego Pep looking like he’s feeling the pressure a bit. No need for the level of upset about two easy (correct) decisions from the officials.
Arteta definitely needs to calm down. He always transmits his energy to the players on the pitch and that’s generally advantageous for us. But in this game and the Liverpool game last season, I think it definitely had an adverse effect.
Though, how VAR didn’t give a penalty for the foul against Gabriel I’ll never know. That is the definition of clear and obvious.

Can’t have this cnut winning a league. The man’s a complete wanker.
I know a lot of managers can be wankers but this guy really is a thoroughly unlikeable whingebag. Imagine having the audacity to call that handball decision scandalous.
Agree with you that we won't come near winning the League, 3rd is our ceiling for me. However our current good form includes a lot of very good sides in it. I think its a bit ingenious to say a 'few wins against the worse sides' when that run has included Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool with a good performance against Chelsea too, also includes a well performing Fulham side and a draw with Newcastle. As was stated, we had to play a lot of the big teams early but our good form is much more than beating the worst sides (which funnily enough has been one of our biggest issues in the past years). Remains to be seen if we can keep this up and I fear the Glazers may hamstring ETH in this window in terms of a striker.
I think City will win it but Arsenal are in with a huge shout.
He isnt nervous. He is animated and plays with the team.
You dont have to like him, but to suggest he doesn't know what he is doing or that he isn't turning into a top manager is utter denial
Yeah he has turned into the most annoying manager in the league now. Which is some feat, given that Klopp is still around.
His antics on the touchline are cringeworthy. It's like he's sat down and watched Klopp and Pep and picked out the absolute worst bits to emulate.
He is still young. He needs to learn when and what to show on the touchline. He got emotions oustide his body right now.
I got to say that I'm getting irritated that refs are letting him go utside his box so often. Some managers aren't even allowed 2 cm outside and here we have somebody who is constantly oustide screaming and pointing.
Lets hope Tottenham can take something from them. Come on Conte.
How does he not get sent off or charged/banned etc. when he does it nearly every game?
He's an absolute tit on the touchline and I love it.
If I saw another manager doing it I'd be pissed off.
Christ I love football.

Exactly. We all thought Fergie was a tit, we all thought Mourinho was the tits tit, most on here think Klopp is a bit of a tit, that Pep is a tit, that Conte is a moaning tit etc.
Basically everyone is a tit, until he's your tit.
I actually had to scroll past the Arteta video on my twitter timeline this morning it was that cringe.Exactly. We all thought Fergie was a tit, we all thought Mourinho was the tits tit, most on here think Klopp is a bit of a tit, that Pep is a tit, that Conte is a moaning tit etc.

Don't find him comparable to Conte/Klopp at all TBH.
Fair enough. Some do, some don't. Some get sick of Conte moaning all the time about players and transfers. One thing he is over the others is very inexperienced. Perhaps it's something he'll learn to deal with better through time.
Clearly doing a good job this season - and his personality is a part of that, but I can't see having a breakdown on the touchline during a 0-0 draw with Newcastle in January being a good thing.
I wouldn't class that as a breakdown. As others have said, he's animated like that every game. I couldn't disagree with others that perhaps he needs at the very least spoken to or perhaps reprimanded in some way.
Even I find Arteta cringy at times.
But equally, and people will say we're complaining, but 3 years ago we used to get absolutely no decisions go our way at all, and a big reason was we had no backbone, and we never ever complained (I mean the manager and the players). They just sat back and let it happen.
So.. I have no real issue with what Mikel is doing, because unfortunately it seems to have been a way to help improve this.

Some full back needs to go out of their way to shoulder barge the cnut next time he's on the edge as they're running past. That'll teach him.
