Mikel Arteta compiles dossier on rival managers' touchline conduct
After receiving a yellow card, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is documenting other managers who stray from their technical areas.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed he is documenting instances of rival Premier League coaches repeatedly leaving their technical areas. The Spaniard, who received his second yellow card of the season for this offence during Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Everton, suggested he is keeping a record to highlight inconsistent officiating.

"I am clipping all of that so I have a massive storage of images, so if somebody comes to me I can say I'm not in the record yet, somebody else has the record."

Arteta joked about installing sensors on the sidelines to monitor movement. While he acknowledges he must be careful to avoid a touchline ban, he believes other managers frequently breach the rules without facing similar disciplinary action. Meanwhile, the club is monitoring Declan Rice, who was seen clutching his hamstring during the Everton match before being substituted.
"I do have to be careful, yeah. I'm going to put sensors there!"
