David Squires' latest cartoon takes on Mikel Arteta's view that football is not Disneyland, as the Arsenal manager continues to push back against the idea that the game is an entertainment industry.
Arteta's stance on football's purpose
The cartoon illustrates the debate over whether the sport should prioritise results over spectacle. Arteta has repeatedly emphasised that winning matters more than pleasing the crowd, a position that has sparked discussion among fans and pundits.
Squires, known for his satirical take on football's biggest stories, uses his trademark style to explore the tension between commercial entertainment and competitive integrity.
