It just feels that Arteta became a clicks generating machine and the media is using it effectively, changing the image of the manager turning him to a hated villain of some kind. Was George Graham onto something? meh. In all cases we love you Mikel, keep pushing these buttons. Oh, also I will be using the word 'milquetoast' much more in my life now.

I love using milquetoast.

It is crazy that it seems like so often that what he says is stripped of context and shown in the worse way.

I think back to the League Cup ball, a reporter asks about it and he answers, but also reiterates that they need to adapt and it is not an excuse. You never hear about that point.

It is what it is, in the worst spots I can feel motivated to point out stuff like that but hard to beat a media that isn't interested in context an nuance.
