Respectful? He told Pep and Txiki he wasn’t leaving City and then met with Arsenal in secret at 2am at his house… only thing was, there were paparazzi there and the press broke the news the next day and that was the first Pep and Txiki had heard about it and they were supposedly furious.
And his touchline antics are pathetic. Kicking the ball away from the opposition, running at players in his technical area who are running up the wing with the ball to put them off, running after the fourth official all the time (yet rarely booked for it, especially compared to Pep), telling his players (usually the keeper) to fake injuries so he can have a time out on the touchline while he gets treatment, has his players running after the ref all the time, has his players holding their heads and faces all the time (often when not touched in the head or face), has his players diving like I’ve never seen from a team in the Prem before, has his players rolling around pretending to be injured when it’s them who have given a free kick away, has his players wasting time to an unbelievable degree so Arsenal games have all this added time at the end (50 seconds to take a corner, 30 seconds to take a throw-in, over a minute to take a goal kick)…
Arteta is a petulant little woman and this Arsenal team are the biggest bunch of cheating and timewasting bastards I’ve ever seen in English football and it all comes from Arteta.
