(Reuters) - Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said he explained the pressure managers are under in his defence against an FA charge for his post-match comments about the match officials following their loss at Newcastle United.
Arteta avoided punishment when the FA's independent commission found a misconduct charge to be not proven after he branded the decision not to rule out Newcastle's controversial winner against Arsenal last month as an embarrassment and a disgrace.
