Is this a dig or just a casual statement?

    Seen the incident a few times, The refs 100 percent thought… I can’t and don’t want to attempt to keep up with play so he has blown the whistle. Simon Hooper just seems unfit as a referee, he struggles to keep up in games and it effects his decision making.

    He’s already done it by referencing him. A smarter way to criticize the ref and avoid FA charges. Message is subtle but yet it’s clear.

    Everyone saying it isn’t a dig: unpopular opinion, I think it is.

    It’s classic mind games. Trying to name drop Arteta like he was weak by whining, and also basically saying the decision was shit without saying it. Using Mikel to make his point while simultaneously trying to make Arteta seem weak.

    This man mind games

    If I speak = Big Trouble

    If Arteta speaks = Big Trouble

    If I speak about Mikel Arteta = No Trouble

    So he said the Mikel Arteta statement without saying the actual statement and avoided the punishment. Pep might have created a new template here.
