Running the clock down when you are winning is different from running the clock down in the first minute of the game, when it is 0-0.
Newcastle did that against all of the top 6 last season.

I agree. Newcastle were doing everything they could in order to stop the flow of the game. I had no idea Eddie Howe would stoop to that level, but maybe it was just a one off? New season and all that.
But Arteta has no excuse for his utterly appalling shenanigans. He's been at Arsenal longer that Howe has been at Newcastle, and he was tutored by Pep, so why the constant negativity?
In all the years I've been watching football I have never seen so much blatant time-wasting going on by a professional club. You could see it was a deliberate tactic from him.
An ex-bandmate of mine is a season ticket holder, and he said he was ashamed of their behaviour ("taking it to a new dimension" were his precise words regarding Arsenal's ludicrous time-wasting).
You like to think that sporting officials in this country would clamp down on this sort of behaviour, but then you remember this is the Premier league and pgmol we're talking about.

Ah right so Goofys push on the liner WAS abuse yet at the time it was passed of as a playful shove!
There you go, the daft twats at the Premier League outing themselves for turning a blind eye to everything rag.

Yep. They can't be kicking up a stink when they do it themselves.
Only two teams in the league go out not to time waste from the start in my opinion. That's us and the dippers. Even when we play eachother both sides want the ball in play and get down to business.
When the other top 4 clubs play against eachother as in Rags, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea ect It's shit and boring as fuck.

If you look at the stats for time in play, it has got worse throughout the league. Fans are being cheated and action is needed.

Newcastle may be annoying and waste time but I don’t mind when they do it against United as they’re such cheating cunts.
The irony of Rags complaining about other teams ‘cheating‘ is not lost on most.
