Racist podcast rant - Arsenal fan & 'Comedian' Alan Davies not happy with us

I really dislike cancel culture but we've seen people driven out of their jobs for saying much less offensive stuff. Personally, I want this kind of stuff hooked to my veins, there's nothing more satisfying than entitled wankers from the clubs that got lucky being decent when TV money came in losing their shit.

That's what I keep hearing; consistency. Two penalty incidents, two correct decisions; that's consistency in my book.

The consistency they argue for is in fact already there, they are just too stupid or dishonest to understand it. (Or are just whinging crybabies looking for any excuse where there is in fact none.)

The complaint is that Atwell wasn't sent to look at the monitor for their penalty claim where he was for ours. In fact, their penalty claim was reviewed by VAR. That review was conducted in Stockley Park. It found no evidence of a 'clear and obvious error.' That's why Atwell was not asked to look at the monitor himself. There was nothing that could justify him in overturning his own decision.

Likewise the claim that Jesus had been fouled will have been reviewed. Again, whether we think it should have been given or not, the referee has decided it wasn't, and there was no footage showing a clear and obvious error. Likewise each and every potential penalty shout that wasn't given.

The reason Atwell WAS asked to look at the footage again for the foul on Bernado was that there WAS evidence of a clear and obvious error, namely the shirt tug. Atwell had seen (or should be assumed to have seen) Xhaka's left leg come out in real time, and must have seen Silva fall. He decided that's not a penalty. Fair enough, that's his call, even if we disagree. But what VAR sees is the film of the shirt pull. That was clear footage. It was a clear foul. THAT's why Atwell is asked to review his decision. And when presented with evidence that his on-field decision was clearly and obviously wrong, he reversed it and awarded the penalty.

There is absolutely no inconsistency in the way VAR was applied.

The only inconsistency is that the media - Jonathan Northcroft, I'm looking at you and Darren Lewis - man the barricades with arguments about whether EPL referees are good enough whenever a contentious decision goes in City's favour (which isn't often.) The inconsistency is that none of them said a fucking word when Paul Tierney failed to send off James Milner twice when we played Liverpool.

People opinions were all driven by the BT production team desperate to make us look bad, they decided the narrative, stopped showing the angle where it wasn’t a penalty. They deliberately mis-communicated the reasons why the VAR incidents were different, ignored the Jesus penalty claim despite clear evidence.

As well as Arsenal played we missed 2 easy chances from set pieces in the first 20 minutes, Arsenals chances missed were bad luck ours, like Jesus penalty appeal were whitewashed.

Fletcher was the main driver of the agenda followed by Humphrey so whether it was them or the bitter prick in their ears but for all the sensationalism they’ve embarrassed themselves.

Arsenal face a charge, BT should also.

Darren Lewis was a right **** with this last Sunday morning.

In his opinion the decision of no Pen by Ederson was right but then he proceeded to ramble on that the ref should've gone to check the screen as he did with Bernardo's pen.

What a cock, so he thought it was right but the ref should've watched it again on a small tele just to say "no pen" again.

Fuckin madness with these Hacks & Pundits.

He’s a fucking ignorant idiot who doesn’t even know his own clubs history. Arsenal has always been a gentrified club, Eton-educated chairmen and major shareholders since WW2 if not before, and now owned by a multi billionaire. So for him to be calling City ownership out is hilarious were his comments not so racist.

Tarquins and always have been

Didn’t BBC sack Danny Baker for something similar to this….

A londoner who supports liverpool zzzzzzz
I am all for opening up access and opportunity to media careers for the under-represented and the disenfranchised. Working class kids, minority communities etc
Unfortunately, over-promoted cretins like Lewis, who is effectively a walking box tick, do the drive for a more representative media zero favours whatsoever.
His raw copy (ie before the grown-ups/sub-editors have laughed at and then spent ages correcting it) looks like someone has had a massive and fatal heart attack and collapsed onto their keyboard.
Only John Cross and Carole Malone are more illiterate
 
If anyone gets a spare 20 minutes please listen to this. They are petrified! Really hope we bring in Haaland to further assert our dominance for next 5+ years. Little Citeh eh. :-)

Oh they didn’t get lucky. They were the best teams at the time and decided to engineer the league so that it would always stay that way. They created this system where all of the money is concentrated at the top and now they’re crying because a bigger boy has come along and done it better. They created the era of billionaire owners being necessary to compete and now they don’t have one. Not one that will actually spend any money anyway.
 
This can all be traced back to BT sport, and their post match VAR analysis, Jake Humphries trying to make it into the greatest injustice since the OJ trial, the thin veil of bias just melted away steadily throughout the game, starting with Martin Keown being co-commentator, why? Was it Arsenal TV day? That was the first mistake from BT, which snowballed with Humphries going balls deep in the VAR ”controversy” fanning the flames, pouring on petrol, then standing back saying he didn’t start it
Davies sounds like a very bitter and entitled individual, blinkered to the fact that his club is owned by a multi millionaire, their stadium sponsors are Emirates, and Arsenal were another previously bank rolled club, buying success.
the bitterness at losing, VAR, yes we get that, but he went to far with his thinly veiled racism
 
Not even 'veiled' racism from that guy. I wonder who he votes for?!

I suspect I'm right in saying most City fans feel we were a little bit fortunate in the Arsenal game.....but also that it was more through Arsenal self-destructing than winning through glaring refereeing mistakes.

We've been there with VAR too, and in much bigger games. The way decisions went in those games against Spurs were incredibly hard to take. But City fans didn't spit the dummy, get racist with Spurs and generally winge all over the media for an eternity.

Arsenal fans could learn a thing or two from how City fans have reacted to adversity over the years.

Better still, they’ve manufactured “rules” - and a culture through the media to support those artificial “rules” - so that even if they did have a billionaire owner willing to invest, they couldn’t spend the money they would need to spend. Ha ha.

Hoist by their own petard. Karma indeed.
