Mikel Arteta has said he will be ‘bald’ by the time VAR is fixed, following a week of refereeing drama.
The Arsenal manager was asked by the FA this week to explain his comments on Newcastle’s winner against his side. He had described Anthony Gordon’s goal as ‘an absolute disgrace’.
Lukas Brud, chief executive of football’s lawmakers IFAB, said this week it could take a decade before VAR is perfected.
And ahead of Arsenal’s game against Burnley on Saturday, Arteta said in response: ‘I’ll probably be bald in 10 years, life will be very different and maybe we will have many other new rules in football!
