Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta insists he has no problem with criticism of his touchline behaviour.
Controversy over the manager's touchline antics and the behaviour of his players continued this week, when Arsenal were charged by the FA for the second successive match – and the third time this season.
"I care a lot about the reputation of the club," the manager said yesterday.
"Mine I can't control. I am who I am. I try to do my best to defend the players, to defend the club and that comes down with certain people who will not like it then, for sure, if everybody would like it, it wouldn't be very good, I don't think.'
When it was pointed out that Arteta is a representative of the club and therefore his reputation is entwined with the club's, he insisted: "It's not that I don't care, but I care a lot more - especially when I'm doing my job - when I'm at home.
"I care about my wife's things, stuff you don't see. But when I'm in the public eye, I think about what I can do best for the club, how can I defend the players and this is my role as well."
