NEWCASTLE fans brutally mocked Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta during Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final at St James' Park. The Magpies cruised to a 2-0 victory in the second-leg, taking the score up to 4-0 on aggregate. Arsenal had 34 shots across both games and failed to convert any of them. After the first leg, Arteta appeared to blame the Carabao Cup BALL for the amount of missed chances. He said: "We also kicked a lot of balls over the bar, and it's tricky that these balls fly a lot so there’s details that we can do better.

"But at the end that’s gone, there’s no way back it's about the next game and that’s our world, the reality is our world. "It’s just different. Very different to a Premier League ball, and you have to adapt to that because it flies different. "When you touch it the grip is very different as well so you adapt to that.". With the Gunners once again struggling to convert anything at St James' Park, Newcastle fans took the opportunity to mock Arteta for his comments.
During the second half, they started to chant: "It must be the ball, it must be the ball, Mikel Arteta, it must be the ball.". CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS.
