An angry Mikel Arteta refused to discuss Arsenal's defeat to Tottenham on Thursday evening because he "doesn't want to get suspended for six months" for sharing his thoughts.
The Gunners were hammered 3-0 by Spurs thanks to a brace from Harry Kane and a strike from Son Heung-min. Arsenal remain in fourth, yet Tottenham are now just one point behind them. Both teams have two Premier League fixtures remaining.
"If I say what I think I am suspended six months [by the FA]," Arteta told Sky Sports at full-time, drawing comparisons with Jose Mourinho's famous and similar quotes. "I am allowed to give my interpretation of what I thought, but I do not like to lie. I cannot say what I think, I will be suspended. I am so proud of my players.
