Arsenal<\/a> boss Mikel Arteta says his players should “be part of a different club” if they cannot deal with the “noise” as his team bid to end their 22-year wait for a league title.<\/p>\n

The Gunners are two points clear at the top of the league as they try to win their first title since Arsene Wenger’s ‘Invincibles’ did so in 2003-04.<\/p>\n

But they have just two wins from their last seven Premier League games and Manchester City<\/a> closed the gap at the top from five to two points ahead of Arsenal<\/a>‘s game away to 16th-placed Tottenham<\/a> on Sunday (16:30 GMT).<\/p>\n

They have come in for criticism after squandering a 2-0 lead<\/a> against bottom side Wolves<\/a> on Wednesday, conceding a 94th-minute equaliser.<\/p>\n

It led to accusations of Arsenal<\/a> being ‘bottlers’, a word Arteta says is “not part of my vocabulary”.<\/p>\n

His side have finished second in the last three campaigns, twice to City and last season to Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the North London derby, when asked how to stop the external noise overwhelming his side, Arteta said: “You ask them the question: do you want to be part of the noise? Or not? <\/p>\n

“If not, go and do something else, be part of a different club.<\/p>\n

“And everybody has been demanding for 10 years, 15 years that we need to go back there [fighting for the title] and now we are there. And now what? You don’t want noise?<\/p>\n

“Noise is part of it and the bullets are part of that and we try to deal with it in the right way and achieve what we are looking for.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says his players should “be part of a different club” if they cannot deal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":439146,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-439145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=439145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/439145\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/439146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=439145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=439145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=439145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
