I am here only because I’m required to be in this press conference
With the team backing Arteta, what’s to stop the team from doing what Nike did for Michael Jordan and pay the fines on his behalf?
Would probably lead to a point deduction based on what I’ve seen.
“Comments bring the game into disrepute” no, the abhorrent refereeing decisions did that.
“Didn’t use his arm as a weapon” …
That’s what we assumed. I hope he does it again when the referees fuck up again. I also hope all teams do it. Nothing will ever change if they are not challenged to make things better
“How dare you tell me I’m doing a terrible job!”
“But you are doing a terrible job boss.”
“Yes but that’s not the point”
We fought the law and the law won
I’ve very reviewed artetas comments and to me there’s not enough in them to warrant a fine.
Fight the good fight Mikel! ALL THE WAY
And De Zerbi?
It’s a fucking joke how protected referees are
And yet they don’t charge the pgmol for incorrect/corrupt decisions. Good for Arteta standing up to them.
The way refs rally around and go to bat for each other in the face of incompetence reminds me of American cops
That’s a fantastic descriptor, honestly.
Has Bruno been charged?
