Wolves manager Rob Edwards has been criticised for comments he made in the aftermath of his side's 2-2 draw with league leaders Arsenal.
Incredibly, the Gunners, who are clear favourites to win this season's title, surrendered a 2-0 advantage in the final 30 minutes of the clash, leading to widespread accusations of "bottling" from fans and pundits.
Even Arteta appeared far from pleased with his side's performance in the match, after full-time saying: "We’re very disappointed with the end result, but I think we have to fault ourselves."
Aside from Arteta's open and honest response to the result, much has been made of what Rob Edwards had to say after the full-time whistle.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Edwards said: "I just hope everyone has a bit of realism and understands what we're up against as well.
"We're not just going to turn up and roll Arsenal over, so it was never going to be easy, especially when you go 1-0 down early on.
"So yeah, we would've probably liked more backing at that point if I'm being honest, the way we finished, the energy was around, and it was a brilliant feeling."
Some fans were quick to suggest that Edwards' words seemed to be aimed towards the club's own supporters, taking to social media to express those feelings.
One wrote: "Hopefully Rob Edwards is getting sacked in the morning!!! Calling out the fans in his Sky interview - get out you clown!!!"
Another added: "Oh Rob Edwards just called out the Wolves fans... I think they should be more behind the players at times too, but you can't be saying it in the way he said it."
Even after the surprise 2-2 draw, Wolves are still 20th in the Premier League table, some eight points away from the 19th placed team.
Those numbers mean that it would take a monumental effort to survive relegation to the Championship at the end of the season.
