Klinsmann brought it here the tit.

At least he had the grace to acknowledge his well-earned reputation (and presumably also how well it was likely to go over with English fans of other clubs).

It's weird how in basketball selling the charge is just part of it, but in soccer it's the worst sort of bad form. I think it has to do with the fact that you need significant contact for it to be a charge rather than a block in basketball - people get annoyed with refs for giving ticky-tack fouls against defenders, and I think they'd get even more annoyed if players started dropping to the court like they'd been shot to earn reach-in fouls against the defender.

Proper greasy little gremlin him isn’t he. No mention of the fact that Ceballos wasn’t touched, just bleating about an offside. Can’t stand this absolute cone layer.

He is hanging to the Arsenal job by a thread and that shows in his interviews...if he doesn't win the europa league is out for sure.

Abramovich would have sacked him three times over by now.

Twice - once for bringing home nothing but a lousy FA Cup last season, and once for falling irrevocably out of the CL places this season. Of course, Abramovich wouldn't be caught dead sending Arteta out there with that joke they have the temerity to call a squad either.

I'm deeply ambivalent - I don't think Arteta is the problem, but I'm not sold that he's part of the solution either. Sacking him isn't likely to change anything, but I think his survival or removal will boil down to internal politics. Can the directors and personnel side manage to throw him under the bus to save their own skins, or does he have enough clout to see them off? If he does see them off, will the incoming team be obliged or choose to keep him around, or will they want their own guy?
 

How he should look at this is did he ever do this when he was playing the game? No, he didn’t, so he shouldn’t stick up for an utter fake that does it, even if he is in his team. He should instead be saying, “Oi Ceballos! I said No!”.

I think he needs to have a huge squad overhaul this summer and be given the money from sales along with £100mil.

Sadly (lol) for him Kroenke will only pay for players on the drip and could well not open the purse strings too much.

I can see them struggling next season without real funds to spend.
