Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hit back at Gary Neville after the Manchester United legend claimed the Gunners’ recent statement was “dangerous”. Arteta insists the club have stuck to their values despite the much-criticised press release following Saturday’s loss to Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Arsenal came out in defence of their manager by releasing a statement on Sunday. Arteta was fuming after the defeat at St James’ Park, insisting Newcastle’s winner should not have counted for many reasons.<\/p>\n

VAR reviewed the incident but did not feel they had enough evidence to rule the goal out. Less than 24 hours later, Arsenal said “They wholeheartedly support Mikel Arteta\u2019s post-match comments after yet more unacceptable refereeing and VAR errors on Saturday evening.”<\/p>\n

The statement went on to say that the “PGMOL urgently needs to address the standard of officiating and focus on action which moves us all on from retrospective analysis, attempted explanations and apologies.” Neville has been one of the biggest critics of the statement since it was released.<\/p>\n

He said on Sky Sports on Monday: “I think the Arsenal statement is quite dangerous. I think all clubs have signed up to a new behavioural charter at the start of the season.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not saying that referees shouldn\u2019t be put under pressure that Mikel Arteta or other managers shouldn\u2019t feel aggrieved at the end of matches. What I am saying is that the clubs themselves should definitely behave better in these circumstances.”<\/p>\n

Those comments were put directly to Arteta at his press conference on Tuesday morning. And the Spaniard has stuck to his guns, insisting the club have done nothing wrong and they have only carried out their duties.<\/p>\n

Arteta said: “Again we have a duty to express how we feel with all the evidence that we have and the history of what’s happened. I think we have to really expand for our people our values and who we are.<\/p>\n
