  1. Rightly so, and all the yes men and cock-smokers will be hating “because it’s arsenal” and then whinge when it’s their club.

    It’s really simple – EPL refs aren’t fit for purpose and are in City’s pocket. Stop defending this shit.

    He’s right actually, it was obvious they took that free kick from a totally different spot and the ref had done them a massive favour by pulling a player out of position.

  3. After press conference.

    “What’s clear, is that you have not asked me one tactical question.”

  4. Eventually, this will happen to a non-Arsenal player. I don’t want to see anyone else seething about it. If that was a yellow card, then Doku should have received a yellow, simple as.

    Poor cry baby. Both arse goals were lucky the ref was in their favour. The keeper gets blocked out by 2 arse players then walker gets out of position by the ref allowing space.

    Last year when Liverpool got screwed in the tottenham game and Klopp was raising the issues with the refs, Arteta was singing a different tune.

    “They are trying to make the best decisions. We need to understand that mistakes happen.”

    Last year after the tottenham game was a perfect time for teams to come together and demand higher standards for refs. I don’t want to hear Arteta bitching now

    Just going to ignore the blatant fouling he gets away with at corners? The free kick taken from 10 yards away from where it should have been?

    VAR not helping Oliver with the Havertz body check?

    The whining from Arsenal and Arteta is tedious

  8. It might have been harsh, but at the end of the day, after the last incident, you’d be a bit more careful booting a ball away after the whistle for the foul.

    Strangely I’m gutted, but I totally would have taken the draw before the match, and snapped it out of your hand after Halaand scored the first goal!

    I’ve said it on previous comments. Swings and roundabouts come around for every club. I’m sure Odegaard was playing basketball in his own box at Anfield last season in a big game. Blatant and VAR didn’t do anything either.

    Refereeing is poor for every club. Not just Arsenal. Not just Liverpool etc etc. Ask Forest fans how they feel after the Gibbs-White red card, I’m sure they think they’re being poorly treated.

    Clubs should come together for it but it’ll never happen

    Rat poison. The fact that nobody is acknowledging the simultaneity of the clearance and the whistle is crazy.

  11. Man City should have lost that. They tried everything to stop arsenal winning sending player off for nonsense eventually adding 7 minutes on to get the goal to stop the win

  12. Michael Oliver looking forward to city’s owner flying him out to referee an off-season friendly for 20k later next year.

    There’s a difference in mentality. Arteta has a victim mentality, while Pep has learning mentality. (Noticed over 2 years, not just this game)

    Arteta blames the ref, when Tossard does 2 yellow offences within few seconds (stupid tackle on Bernardo and kicking the ball away after stoppage to prevent quick free kick) forcing ref to issue him card.

    While Pep says that both goals scored by Arsenal could’ve been prevented if Mancity was better, and it is something to be learnt. While in reality both were very controversial goals.

    Infact ref wasn’t issuing any cards when Arsenal was bodying whole City squad, especially targetting Rodri. Eventually playing a hand in Rodri’s injury.

    It is highly possible that City could’ve won, if Arsenal didn’t get that red card, because low block prevented anu further game thereafter.

    Till the time Arteta dosent change his victim mentality, he would always be hindering himself.

  14. Crying over nothing yet again. Ref weren’t perfect but never are, red card was a red. And he weren’t exactly great to city either with the second goal, started play before walker got back. Arteta would have a fit if that happened against them. South London bottlejobs, ain’t got the winning mentality. 🤣

  15. Arsenal have to be the most butthurt, narcissistic club in the world. They think they’re the only ones who suffer from bad to questionable refereeing. Anything remotely negative that happens to them must be due to some vast conspiracy.

    Remember how their fans tried to convince the world that Newcastle had bought all the refs? Lmao.
