"CLEAR & OBVIOUS!" 😠 A deflated Mikel Arteta repeats the same phrase with the Arsenal boss secretly fuming with decisions in defeat at Villa Park 🥵 🔗

@Arsenal Exactly. There wasn’t a clear and obvious reason to overturn the on field decision of handball.

@sr_collings @Arsenal He’ll learn that you can’t go against the northern cartel

@Arsenal Arteta has never admitted to losing a match bc they were outplayed. It’s seeped through the fan base they are incapable of accepting defeat. It’s a bizarre cult

@Arsenal The funny thing is how he's been asked about incident that went wrong against Arsenal just for them to hold him up for stating the obvious

@sr_collings @Arsenal

@Arsenal The referee rules it out on the pitch and nothing clear and obvious was found to overturn his correct decision. Probably a pen on Jesus.

@sr_collings @Arsenal As simple as that. We will always stand on the truth no matter what.

Arteta never hides behind ref decisions. Your clip and headlines conveniently misrepresent Arteta's messages during the entire press conference: ⦿ “We lacked the accuracy” ⦾ on tackle and handball: “Clear and obvious” ⦿ “So many big opportunities we didn’t finish” ⦿ “We started to rush decisions, play the ball in behind too early, and from areas where you aren’t going to hurt them and you get exposed afterwards” ⦿ on clear and obvious: “I don't want to talk about it anymore sorry” ⦿ on fatigue: “I don't think that's the case” ⦿ about watching from stands: “It was what it was” ⦿ on wind for misplaced balls: “I don't know” ⦿ “I have responsibility, I have to take it”

@Arsenal What sort of Orwellian 1984 reality are we living in where managers aren't allowed to speak their minds? Actively controlling and morphing the narrative, and those who control the narrative, in fact, control reality.

@Arsenal he is pathetic- always blaming this or that…
