I don't understand how this is allowed against Arsenal. There's gotta be somebody at the club who can start harassing the FA about this.
Its obvious this is a strategy -- pound the hell out of us and the ref will only call maybe half of them. Its a bunch of crap and cynical as hell. But if the ref is gonna let them get away with it they are going to do it every damn game.
I would also like to note it makes for damn ugly football if they are going to let them get away with this. If you are going to let all the creative players get killed with impunity it makes for a bunch of crap. Man, this guy is absolutely terrible. He single handedly ruined this match.
Agree with Mebe, Arsene needs to get in some of these refs grill. Some of these non calls today were outrageous.
I would love to see the ref explain that yellow card on Giroud. These clowns have gotten out of control. The whole league seems increasingly bent.
Yup. Teams outside London get to play like a combination of the Bad Boy Pistons and Pat Riley's Knicks. It makes for a staggeringly unasthetic game.
We looked like shit. Sell Ozil. We payed way to much for him. He contributes very little. Not happy with our current form. We look like shit.
I typically take it easy on refs but man the entire league has poor refereeing. I don't get how they can be so bad all the time.
We looked like shit. We struggled agains a bottom team. Top four is not gonna happen. Other teams are way better than us. Wake up and smell the cofee.
So guys, is Diaby dead? Seriously, I don't even care if he doesn't play. I just want to know if the dude is dead.
Overall, excellent result, very poor performance, awful refereeing. As for teams getting physical, Wenger has been in no hurry to replace Vieira or Gilberto. One groks that he seems to be on the Robert Heinlein schedule: "waiting is".
