That makes seven points taken away form Arsenal by inept officiating and that’s just not good enough.
Arsenal are under severe pressure that they don’t really deserve. Are they worthy of a top four place? No. Clearly not. Are they relegation fodder? No. Clearly not.
A succession of piss poor refereeing decisions have conspired to send Arsenal to the lowly position that they now inhabit. It is becoming ridiculous.
This is where other supporters, especially those of the clubs that I have mentioned, get on their high horses. This is where they say it’s our own fault and that blaming the referees is futile. Whilst I can’t disagree with the often stated opinion that our defence is not consistent enough, I can’t subscribe to the notion that Arsenal are completely at fault for their current predicament.
Referees don’t get a lot of respect in the modern game. This is a very sad fact. They have a terrible job to do and they very rarely get praise for good work, just condemnation for their mistakes. However, I feel that respect for referees needs to be earned. Players watch the Sky coverage and MOTD; they know just how fallible the officials are, they also know how impressionable they are if pressure is applied in mass. Why wouldn’t you challenge a decision if you knew there was a realistic chance that the referee had got it wrong? It happens so often, it’d be criminal not to.
That is why we need video officials. We need to help our refs because on current evidence I think it’s fair to say that they can’t manage on their own. We need a change of direction because the system that we’ve currently got just isn’t working. Today it’s Arsenal on the receiving end of all the bad luck and bad decisions. Tomorrow it could be any other club. When so much is at stake; championships, European places and even relegation, how can we keep leaving things to chance, which is exactly what we’re doing at the moment.

THIS ARTICLE IS MEANT TO BE A JOKE- RIGHT? STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT REFEREES? ARSENAL NEEDS AT A MINIMUM A NEW MANAGER TO CLEAN ALL THE MEDIOCRITY AROUND THE PLACE. THE TRAINING METHODS ARE ARCHAIC, THE MEDICAL STAFF AND PRACTICES SUBSTANDARD HENCE THE LONG LIST INJURIES AND OFF FORM PLAYERS.ON THE INJURIES THERE IS NO CURSE,IT’S CALLED POOR MANAGEMENT AND IS RIFE AT THE EMIRATES FROM THE OWNER, BOARD , MANAGER AND BACKROOM STAFF, INCLUDING THE MEDICS. THE PLACE STINKS OF MEDIOCRITY. PLAYERS CAN NOT BE BETTER THAN THEIR ENVIRONMENT, IT’S LIKE EXPECTING AN ORCHARD TO GROW IN THE DESERT. WE NEED A KNIGHT RIDING ON A WHITE HORSE TO INVEST IN THE CLUB AND SWEEP THE PLACE CLEAN FOR A FRESH START. NO TOP CLUB WOULD RETAIN A MANAGER THAT OVERSAW SUCH A SPECTACULAR COLLAPSE. ARSENAL ARE A SECOND RATE CLUB AS LONG AS THE CURRENT OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT TEAM IS IN PLACE. I FEEL SORRY FOR FOOTBALL LOVING ARSENAL FANS WHO STILL HOLD OUT HOPE FOR A LOST CAUSE. ARSENAL ARE A TRAIN WRECK IN SLOW MOTION. ONLY A FOOTBALL LOVING BILLIONAIRE WILL SAVE THE CLUB.
This poorly constructed attempt at a retort is meant to be a joke – right? Turn the caps lock off for a start. Wenger is a genius, the mans fighting an uphill battle against the elements and needs all the support we can muster but all you can do is cry and moan and wait for a billionaire to turn up on a white horse. Get a grip man and support your team to the hilt.
your right its all down to the ref’s its got nothing to do with the fact we have sold 2 of the best midfielders in Europe and not replaced them and the kids coming through aren’t good enough ( not including wiltshire and gibbs ) blaming ref’s and injuries is looking for excuses!!!! did u not watch the united game we were shocking . wenger’s not looking for excuses and nor should we a top 4 finish for the last 15 seasons means he knows how to win now we will see if he knows how to fight
