Thought this was great, really felt for the ref, dude was doing his best just made a mistake. Canāt imagine any of the cunts in our league acting like this, this officials are always right mantra even when they are wrong needs to fucking die in the EPL. Get them micād up, show a little humility, rely on the technology more than personal decisions. I think it would change the whole dynamic and would make people remember they are just human trying to do a job.
As it stands though they act like a bunch of indignant cunts where itās either their way or the high way, logic and reason be damned.

24 hours later and already seen 2 tackles as bad as Xhakaās if not worse. Either all 3 are red cards or none are, you canāt just pick and fucking choose.

Fucking lol at the choice of stills used in this.
Off the ground completely no control whatsoever obvious red. Not defending the pogba challenge havenāt really looked at it but did he leave the ground it looks as if he has a leg planted the whole time to me?

I think if these weekly PL managers meetings mean anything, Arsenal and Arteta ought to raise this.
āHow is Barnes challenge not a red card? How is Pogbaās not a red card?ā
There are probably rules about what managers can and canāt say in these meetings (singling out players, etc) but itās becoming ludicrous now.

This is the reason I was rather critical of it, I mentioned as long as we have consistency I wouldnāt complain, but I just knew it would only take a split second for similar degree challengers fo not receive the same punishment.

EPL refs are the worst. FA should be ashamed that the refs are so poor and maddeningly inconsistent game to game.

Yup said the same in the MD thread. I never thought itās a red, didnāt seem dangerous at all to me. However some ppl did see it that way which is fine, but you just knew if it was United thereās no red coming out. And guess what, very next day Pogba an even worse tackle not even a yellow lmaooooo complete fucking joke and farce.

EPL refs are among the best in the world. Anyone who thinks they have an agenda against any one football club is simply projecting their own broken dreams. Itās pathetic, grow up and have some dignity.
Iām a referee by the way, so as one of the ācuntsā, Iād suggest you stop looking at that replay of Xhakaās tackle from every angle and at every speed before you decide that, on reflection, maybe it was harsh.
Even with VAR, officials have to make a very quick judgement call based on what they see in a split second, knowing that even if itās the right decision everyone will blame the man or woman in the middle rather than admit their football club has been a shambles since Dein left.

Are you Graham Poll?
If so, why did you send Parlour off against Newcastle in December 2001?

Honestly if you canāt see that the officiating against Arsenal is different I think youāre blind. I donāt think itās because of an agenda but for whatever reason ever since Sam Allerdyce said Arsenal donāt like it up them teams have been punished less when fouling our players and Arsenal players get reds for innocuous shit regularly. Fans in stadiums chanting about us always cheating, media highlighting our dives (Eduardo, Pires being blamed for bringing diving to the English game etc).
The whole fucking thing is a joke.
