Anyone else notice that Mikel Arteta literally stands and shouts next to opponents taking throws when around his technical area. Even tried to get in the way of one of them.

Yes, and the 4th official casually walked toward him to ask him to move after the throw in was taken. I don’t understand how it’s acceptable, it’s so easy to enforce when there’s a big white box there to guide you
Over the past couple of years you could make an argument in law for Arteta getting sent off at least five times. He loves to get in the way and subtly delay play. But refs in the PL never deal with it even when the laws say it's an absolute red card. And we don't start on how often he's outside of his technical area.

Did you watch with the “new” floaty camera angle?
The coverage I watched showed much more of the field, players and benches for large chunks of the game - which was great TBH.
And it made it soooo obvious that Arteta is camped the wrong side of the line. Drove me nuts. Presents so poorly on the officials IMHO.

got dizzy watching this angle earlier in the season - not for me at all!
It's annoyingly sloppy, if I can manage it in my first game as fourth for a CC final I don't see why a professional can't.

Retired big bad baldy in all black!
I have been saying it for several years. He's not the only one, but he is certainly the worst offender.
