Richard Keys has once again taken aim at Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners have been slapped with an FA charge for failing to control their players during an FA Cup victory away to Oxford United.

Arsenal players surrounded referee David Coote after his refusal to award the Premier League outfit a penalty in their 3-0 win earlier this week.

This the second time this month that the North Londoners have found themselves in hot water over the past week, following a separate charge relating to their conduct in the 0-0 draw with Newcastle United last week.

Keys slammed Arteta – who earns £159,000-a-week as their manager [The Sun] – and now taken aim at the Spanish coach once again, claiming that these offences reflect him.

Keys, who hosts on BeIN Sport, said on Twitter:

The former Sky Sports presenter has had it out for Arteta for most of the last 12 months, it has to be said.

Yes, the Arsenal boss is a passionate figure on the sidelines and no doubt that the more experience he gets, the more composed he may become.

But whatever the matter, Keys is invariably against the former Manchester City assistant.

And therefore you have to ask, is this his real opinion or the latest excuse he has in which to stick the boot into the 40-year-old?
