On Saturday, 24 October 2026, Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 at the Emirates, pushing them level with Man City on points. During that game, Arteta received his second yellow for stepping out of the technical area. He joked about installing sensors on the sidelines to catch other managers slipping past the line without a card. Arteta says his dossier shows 36 managers have left the touchline in 10 minutes, none receiving yellows. A BBC Sport study in April 2025 found Unai Emery spent the most time outside his technical area among bosses. The Arsenal boss is clipping every incident into a massive storage of images, ready to prove any manager's record. His collection could force a rule change, or at least make managers think twice before stepping out.
