Is it even worth responding to these clowns?
Arsenal derangement syndrome.

Smart move by Arteta. As already mentioned Fergie was the master of this.
Spot on.
Fergie even took it so far as to not enter ManU into the FA Cup in 2000.
He was the first manager I remember to deliberately field weakened sides in the League & FA Cups.
As mentioned above, when it came to international call-ups, he took the absolute pi55.
Seems those with ADS have very short memories.

Oh look at Martin Kewon (Lurka) jumping to the defence of Arsenal.
Guarantee that if these players fell on hard times and weren’t footballers they would happily take help from their country, but when it comes to representing their country, they feign injury to gain some sort of advantage in their quest for success because they can’t get over the line without it
Now 11 players returned to Arsenal. All likely to be out training on Thursday already being reported. As Tuchel says “it’s just disappointing”
Arteta does this all the time, utter disgrace. He should concentrate on the billion pound squad he assembled playing to win football
