‘Asked if he has sympathy for Liverpool, Arteta replied:

“For sure, you know at the end you want to get what you deserve. You want to minimise errors that you cannot control away from the work and the job that you do on a daily basis.

“Everybody is trying to have a really clean and honest game but in the end you have to earn the right to win it and play in the conditions that the rules allow. When that doesn’t happen it’s extremely frustrating.

“When they explain all the processes of what they’re trying to do it sounds really logical, but in the heat but when you’re talking about millimetres and interpretation of other things like the frames of the camera it’s very, very different. It’s a shame that it’s happening but at the moment we haven’t got the right answers I think.”’

And for what it’s worth, Klopp also maintained that he didn’t think it was an intentional mistake.

  2. Reminder that this will happen to your team, and you guys will scream about it nonstop.

  3. I completely agree and think he’s being quoted out of context. But to be fair, even now every time Liverpool plays and doesn’t win, this sub has people commenting “rEpLaY!”, when Klopp’s quote was also taken out of context. Hell, I’ve seen Arsenal fans say it. Rival fans misquoting managers and players to be dicks for the sake of it is unfortunately not new.

  4. Football tribalism is why PGMOL continue being corrupt and non transparent

  6. Most football pages on Instagram and other social media pages feed off of people fighting in the comments… Idk where it will take everyone but it’s nice some people are just sensible in the sea of stupidity

  7. I think the biggest issue with Arteta is that was his response when there was a genuine mistake happened – a legitimate goal was ruled out because of poor communication.

    Arteta has kicked off about a controversial decision that he disagrees with – but nobody can actually say with 100% certainty if any of the decisions are actually wrong or just very tight

    If the decision in the Newcastle game had been for an Arsenal goal then Arteta would be saying it’s hard to make these decisions and that’s the way it goes. Nobody in their right mind can argue that a legitimate goal should be ruled out incorrectly for offside
