The Liverpool one, I understand to an extent because it was a mistake that meant a goal that should have stood, didn't.

Arsenal are just straight out complaining about a subjective decision from a referee, which refereeing decisions have always been!
The common theme is deflection. When their team fails to perform, Liverpool's media managers have always found ways to create controversy to mask their team's poor on-field performances. It takes the pressure off the manager and players, and unites their supporters in their inherent hatred for opposition players, officials etc.
What we're seeing with Arsenal is just the same. The club doesn't want the press and pundits to focus on the failings of their expensive but unimpressive goalkeeper, so they have chosen to create and amplify a grievance against the officials and PMGOL.

Arteta is such an embarrassment. You can clearly see Gabriel tried to the head the ball and missed. I think his rant was worse than Klopps who had clear reason to be disappointed. He’s such an absolute melt. Cant wait to see arsenal collapse again!

What has Gary Neville done/said to make him a target for Arsenal fans? Up until Saturday he was becoming an Arsenal fanboy.

I think he's realised that he was twerking too hard for them in the early stages of this season and is trying a bit of course-correction.

Maybe because during the game against Newcastle he said Arsenal had already shown grit in the comeback against Spurs this season, and it triggered PTSD in the goons when they realized that never happened after Neville was told to correct himself.

He said the goal was fine and that Gabriel wasn’t fouled.
Ah I see. Gave an opinion they didn’t like. I expect Arsenal to release a club statement saying they stand with their fans and that the quality of football analysis needs to improve blah blah blah.

The lot of them are pathetic.

Daily Telegraph is pulling no punches....

Arsenal statement ‘embarrassing’ as Mikel Arteta behaviour called ‘worst in the Premier League’​

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...nt-embarrassing-mikel-arteta-worst-behaviour/
(Well worth reading the rest of the article.)
So glad this is finally being picked up on.

Nail on the head from the guy in the interview "nothing more than an infantile moan"

I expect (hope) that they start handing out bans to managers acting like spoilt brats on the touch line.

I thought Liverpool were bad enough but at least they had a case for grizzling. Arsenal have nothing at all to whinge about. Nothing was overlooked and the decisions went against them. Grow up and get on with it.

His ego made him do it. 'Keeper isn't a position that lends itself well to direct competition between two No 1s. They rarely get niggly injuries and never get subbed on the 60th minute so there isn't the rotational rhythm that applies to outfield players, which is why pretty much no manager does it. But Arteta thinks he's got some secret formula to make it work.
He's trying to be too clever.

Liverpool had a legitimate gripe. Arsenal's happens in games up and down the country every week and nobody releases a statement for it.

The Mercedes Neil Warnock!

ha. Harsh on warnock though. Much better bloke than that tool
Colin has some self awareness. Makes him endearing; the guy you love to hate. He also looks like my nan. Arteta has none of these qualities. He’s a school snitch with weird, Jake Humphreys reading Andrew Tate vibes. He’d never have a story as fun as Neil’s bowling tale.

Listening to the radio and 48 hours on and they’re still frothing about the goal on Saturday.

Beautiful.
