BUZZING fans reckon Mikel Arteta’s touchline tantrum has become even more animated – after a CARTOON FLY was added.
Viewers hailed the “pure brilliance” of a social media clip showing the Arsenal manager getting into a flap over a penalty shout in Tuesday’s 0-0 home draw with Newcastle.
Arteta claimed it was “scandalous” his Premier League leaders were twice denied spot-kicks.
And he made a pest of himself with his histrionics after the second penalty refusal in stoppage time.
Now those antics have been turned into animated Art by comedian Olaf Falafel – to the delight of supporters.
Twenty-four hours after the Spaniard charged down the touchline ranting and swatting his arms around, it’s a cartoon fly, not officials, who bears the brunt of his frustration.
Luckily, Arteta never quite lands a blow on his winged tormentor.
But one fan said of his behaviour: “I remember this episode from Breaking Bad.”
And the addition of a fly as co-star was praised as “12 carat gold”.
One viewer said: “You gotta find this funny.”

Another posted: “THAT, Sir, is a moment of pure brilliance. Well done.”
Some felt the fly emphasised how extreme Arteta’s reaction looked.
One said: “Oh my God …… who does he think he is !!!!! Embarrassing.”
On a similar note: “Why do managers act like this? Not just Arteta. Makes zero difference to anything. Where’s the composure??”
Arteta was annoyed referee Andy Madley didn’t penalise Newcastle defender Dan Burn for tugging Gabriel’s shirt at a free-kick on the hour.
And he was even angrier in the dying seconds.
Granit Xhaka’s cross hit the arm of Jacob Murphy at point-blank range, with ref Madley deciding the winger could do nothing about it.
Arteta couldn’t restrain himself any longer – and now his decision to fly into a rage has been given a new meaning.
