Yes. The other thing I picked up this week was that Arteta never once used injuries as a pre-emptive excuse. e.g in the pre-match presser:

on if he feels hard done by to have so many injuries:

This is the game, you know, obviously, we didn't want to be in that situation, but we are really lucky as well to have the squad that we have, to have the players that we have, to have the attitude that we have. When it comes down to reacting against a difficult situation and don't feel sorry for ourselves, face it. We are a team that we know how good we are as well and how difficult we can be for the opponent. And having that ruthless mentality in the team is something that I love.

Yet am I sure I noticed the usual idiots telling us off for complaining about injuries. That's why I don't give 2 tugs what non-Arsenal journos or pundits say. They relentlessly pursue a pre-determined agenda, no matter what.

I don't know if I really understand this anti-Arsenal agenda. From celebrations, to tactics and everything in between. It's obviously for clicks/views, because nothing else makes sense.

Maybe Arsenal supporters are more likely to take the bait? Man United are precious and City are probably "protected" for other reasons.

I don't mind Liverpool, but they seem to be somewhat beloved by most. Spurs are too easy a target. Chelsea is such a mess. I guess that just leaves us and people seem to love to try take us down a peg.

That's the only way to maintain your sanity, honestly. They want to wind you up for clicks, so just ignore them.
