Stephen is joined by Anita Sambol and Lana Dawood and they discuss if time is beginning to run out for Mikel Arteta after Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa.

With the topic of online abuse towards referees and players in the news again, Lana and Anita both illustrate their experiences with being targeted online, and whether there is any way of bringing an end to such a prevalent practice.
