So have most other teams, which you may not know because you're at Arsenal games each week. The list off the top of your head is one third of the story. The other two parts are how many decisions have been in Arsenal's favour and how the other 19 teams in the league have been treated by referees. So a rant over a number of indisputably tough decisions is not evidence of the FA's bias against Arsenal. I guarantee you that the majority of the second tier teams in the Premier League have it much worse than a big team like Arsenal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667447756080520270.post-3194621575640077422011-02-11T09:36:33.120+00:002011-02-11T09:36:33.120+00:00I agree with most of what you have said.

Some of the stats regarding Manchester United and refereeing is quite shocking to say the least!<br /><br />In the last 5 years, only 2 penalties have been given agaisnt them at Old Trafford compared to 15 given against opposition. <br /><br />I wouldnt say Arsenal get hard done by like the others. With Arsenal and in many cases Chelski as well, the decisions go against us because we are United's closest rivals. So in order to win the league against these opposition, you have to not only beat the teams you face, you also have to absorb the bias from the refs.invincible_icemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600389655893042911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667447756080520270.post-70856971390439539992011-02-10T18:41:39.118+00:002011-02-10T18:41:39.118+00:00All clubs have had raw deals with officials, not a...All clubs have had raw deals with officials, not a Wolves Supporter, but 7-8 games in a row early season they had dodgy decisions which led to goals before they got a little fortune.<br /><br />Liverpool who were terrible under the LMA Manager of 2010, but had bad referee decisions in a number of games and when Dalglish came Utd knocked Liverpool out in the Cup with a dive and both Everton's goals in the 2-2 draw should have been disallowed as the corner which Everton scored from came off an Everton player and their 2nd goal was in the process of fouling Martin Kelly.<br /><br />So although I agree Utd get most decisions in their favour and they possibily do pay the Referee's off, Arsenal are hard done like other premiership teams.<br /><br />Also, in my view the bottom teams are hard done by most and the top teams bar Utd have their attacking and creative players kicked at without the refs doing anything.<br /><br />Eventually Utd will win the league and that you may say, due to the decisions that cost Arsenal points and the points Utd gained from dodgy decisions, but unfortunately Utd know how to win the league unlike Arsenal in the last 6/7 years. Until the Gunners get the monkey off their back they will be in the same situation - better players than Utd, but not a better Manager.<br /><br />It is good you go home and away, but bad decisions are there for all to see (maybe not on Match of the Day), but I agree that the poor refereeing is sending fans away from football.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667447756080520270.post-23051742081277175002011-02-08T14:46:55.308+00:002011-02-08T14:46:55.308+00:00wish dis gets 2 d appropriate quaters,its worrisom...wish dis gets 2 d appropriate quaters,its worrisome.pls u guys dere should kip d shout as we here in nigeria cant........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667447756080520270.post-12740875438209299192011-02-08T14:28:19.025+00:002011-02-08T14:28:19.025+00:00i completely agree with you.We here in Nigeria wat...i completely agree with you.We here in Nigeria watch every game arsenal play on cable network and we see the poor officiating especially by Phill Dowd and Howard Webb against arsenal.I just want to say to you guys out there that one of the ways you will support the team is by raising agitations just like this in the field of playAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667447756080520270.post-90754295385182169132011-02-08T13:18:25.883+00:002011-02-08T13:18:25.883+00:00I do agree that the refereeing was poor. but im no...I do agree that the refereeing was poor. but im not so sure that there is any conspiracy. just unlucky for arsenal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
