The English FA states, “It will have an effect on Arsenal’s title bid,” as it is ready to punish Mikel Arteta harshly.

The Football Association has demanded that Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta serve a touchline ban due to his uncontrollable outburst after the Newcastle Robbery at St James Park [Rubbish] during statements he made during Arsenal’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle United.

Anthony Gordon’s contentious goal gave Newcastle the victory, but the goal was upheld by three VAR replays that finally failed to overrule referee Stuart Attwell’s on-field ruling.

Arteta declared the verdict to be “an absolute disgrace” following the competition.

He exclaimed, “How the hell does this goal stand!” It is truly astounding to the point of humiliation. This objective’s continued existence is an absolute disgrace. It is not an objective due to a multitude of factors.

The FA has since filed a prosecution against the Spaniard for allegedly violating FA Rule E3.1 due to his remarks.

“I believe he is out of order,” O’Hara stated on talkSPORT. “We all know that referees can be a bit of a nuisance and that VAR has let teams down; however, the decision he is criticizing should have been made by [Wolves manager] Gary O’Neil, who has made a few errors.

“I have evaluated the Sky Sports footage from the time they analyzed and processed the decision that was rendered against Arteta in their match against Newcastle.

“The determination of whether the ball was out was uncertain, and Gabriel’s foul was not an obvious error; the outcome was a goal.”

“It took slightly longer than anticipated by a few minutes, which is vexing. Although repairing that would have accelerated the process, the decision they made was appropriate.

“Hashing the referees only increases the pressure on them and provides them with additional criticism at a time when they are already receiving enough of it.” Because he is out of control, I believe he ought to be forbidden.

Only two Premier League sides have ever received a points deduction prior to the league’s announcement regarding Everton on Friday

Shockwaves were sent around the Premier League on Friday as it was announced that Everton would receive a ten-point deduction after being found guilty of breaching Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.

The Toffees currently sit 14th in the table having accumulated 14 points after 12 games, meaning they would drop down to 19th following a deduction sitting, level on points with bottom-of-the-table Burnley.

All eyes are now on Manchester City’s ongoing FFP investigation. The Citizens were charged earlier this year after allegedly breaching the league’s financial rules over 100 times between 2009 and 2018.

The reigning Premier League champions have vehemently denied the charges with the investigation still ongoing. It remains to be seen what exactly the punishment would be if City were found guilty of breaches, with a points deduction an option.

So with that being said, football.london has taken a look at every other time a Premier League side has received a points deduction prior to Everton’s most recent case.

Middlesbrough

The first ever top-flight team to receive a points deduction during the Premier League era was Middlesbrough during the 1996/97 campaign. The Teesiders’ punishment wasn’t in any way financial-related, though.

They were docked three points, with the fixture ordered to be played at a later date, eventually getting relegated by two points that season.

Portsmouth

The other only Premier League side to receive a points deduction is Portsmouth, during the 2009/10 campaign. Pompey were docked a total of nine points after debts of £65million saw them enter administration.

Portsmouth were already at the bottom of the table before the punishment, eventually finishing 16 points off safety. They haven’t found their way back to the top-flight since, currently plying their trade in League One.
