Amongst the many reasons for intensely disliking Arteta, his clear decision to tell his players to go down with ‘cramp’, or some other feigned injury, is truly reprehensible.
The intent is to disrupt play, to create a version of the NFL ‘timeout’, where his players can have a drink and then get new instructions while the feigned injury is ‘treated’.
Well guess what you gooners, karma came back to maul you in the 98th minute.
I’m not sure whether anything can be done about his players dropping like flies, but it is definitely not good for the game.
