‘All game’: Richard Keys lays into £170k-a-week Arsenal man at Chelsea and demands action NOW

Richard Keys has continued his onslaught of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta today, once again complaining about the Gunners boss.

Keys has been at Arteta on occasion this season for what he sees as the Spaniard being allowed to get away with certain touchline behaviours. The former Sky Sports presenter has pointed it before, and he was at it again when Arsenal played Chelsea today.

Taking to Twitter, Keys demanded answers from the powers that be and called on action to be taken against Arteta right now.

At the moment, there doesn’t seem to be anything being done. Arteta is clearly in comms with the officials and right now, it seems they have no issue with him doing as he pleases.

However, Keys might well see something come of it if he keeps banging the drum. The presenter is seemingly intent on hammering Arteta whenever he gets chance. Quite why, remains unclear.

For Arsenal and Arteta – who earns a reported £170k-a-week at the club, it will be water off a duck’s back. They sit top of the Premier League table and just keep on winning massive games. Arteta, then, will simply sit back and take the critics.

TBR’s View: Richard Keys does have a point on Arteta really

It might seem petty, but Keys does have a valid point of view here. Arteta is out of the technical area more than any other coach and nothing ever seems to be done about it.

Of course, the refs might be aware of it and there might have been some conversations somewhere along the line.

But sooner or later, Arteta will surely be pulled up. Sometimes he is on the pitch, not just outside of the technical box he is meant to remain in.

As it stands, Keys will need to keep waging his mini war. But eventually, you feel he might get his way.
