Former Premier League referee Graham Scott says Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is the hardest person to deal with on the touchline. Coverage across outlets highlights Scott’s view that Arteta consistently pushes rules and makes officials’ jobs difficult.
Metro reports Scott describes Arteta as “hard work” and says he “push[es] all the limits all of the time.” It also notes Arteta has picked up yellow cards this season, including a second booking during Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Everton last month, which contributes to a potential one-match domestic touchline ban if he receives another yellow. Metro additionally includes Arteta’s post-match claim that other managers commit similar offences without being punished.
Yahoo Sports and The Mirror both foreground the same basic thrust: Scott’s assessment of Arteta as a top “nightmare” or “most difficult” manager for matchday officials. While their phrasing differs, the common focus remains Scott’s reputation-based critique rather than new, independent evidence.
