The fact that Arteta is achieving what every one of his critics can only dream of achieving, is completely leaving them perplexed.
Despite many of them - Neville, Keane, Scholes, Carragher and co - being more decorated players, they couldn't come close to the level of management Arteta has reached.
Adding to their frustration, their best mates have failed in football management - Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney, and more.
To top it all off, he's bringing Arsenal back, a club they love to hate.
The entire narrative stems from professional jealousy and a strong desire for Arteta to fail, just so they can justify their own shortcomings.
