I can't imagine Arteta doing this, but the reaction from certain quarters if he did would be ๐โ
"Hopefully he enjoyed his sandwich while he was talking to a Premier League manager.โ

I can't believe the entitlement in the phrase you quoted. A man that feels so angry about somebody having the gall to eat a sandwich in his presence sounds like an arrogant bastard. It reminds me of Nate, when he's in charge of West Ham, in Ted Lasso.
Yes, you're a premier league manager, we get it, you aren't a god. You boss boys around on a football field. Act like a damn adult when you're going to bitch about the on field decisions, don't spout off to the media about garbage that isn't even relevant to the refereeing...
Edit: though I agree, the whole situation is hilarious and the media would be piling on Arteta if he said something like this.
