Is the league, for want of a better word, ‘bent’?

Yes.

PL, Sky, TNT, they all know who the cash cows are and do what it takes to keep them relevant.

It’s not too blatant, it can’t be, but it’s there and adds up. Letting opponents kick our players, scrutinising every var decision to go against us, almost never giving us pens.

Comcast own Sky and Warner Brothers Discovery own TNT.

The yank teams doing well in detriment to teams owned by Arabs is good business.
 
No

Over a course of a 38 game season the team that tops it wins it deservedly...

Stop the fucking excuses.....losers mentality blaming everything and anyone else and not looking at the issues we have. ...which is a big part of our squad aint good enough or ready to win it

Every set of fans in the entire league thinks this.

But just think about how difficult it would be to actually orchestrate such a conspiracy * and* keep it quiet.

It's ridiculous and embarrassing. Focus on our game.

Interested whether you think in the examples given the referee/VAR made the correct call, or if you think they did their best but just made an honest mistake?

How we are refereed, and how we are playing aren't mutually exclusive.

Anyone who thinks we are playing well has a screw loose. And anyone who thinks we get refereed fairly also has a screw loose.

Making an observation isn't making an excuse.

Declan Rice was sent off last season vs Brighton for "kicking the ball away". Never mind that he got absolutely lamped by the Brighton player at the same time, him flicking it two yards was worth a red card? I've seen players do what Rice did hundreds of times since that day and not once have I seen a red card.

He was sent off for two yellow cards cards
His second yellow card was for delaying the restart of the game the ball had been placed for the free kick to be taken and he flicked the ball away
Might be pedantic but that is the case
So, with respect to seeing numerous incidents of doing what Rice did then we haven’t
In the very same game Arsenal fans claim that an opponent did exactly the same, they didn’t, he kicked the ball away but it didn’t delay the restart in fact due to multi balls then the opposite was true
 
Were miles off.
It's pathetic how we cant play two halves the same ( unless there both shite )
With Arab owners we've won far to much for it to be bent.
It's just shite officials
Who are not fit for purpose.
If it's bent then which team is gaining from it being bent ?
Arsenal 20 years +
Rags 12 years +
Dippers unable to win back 2 back.
Let's not mention Chelsea,Villa,Spurs etc.
Just accept that were in decline and hopefully in transition.CTID
 
Don’t think it’s bent, but this season it’s definitely crap. Games are poor (we’re 2nd FFS!), games are generally boring and VAR is having a shocker.

Examine the incidents in question, which is what most on here are doing and it’s clear that the very least we have suffered some horrendous mistakes that have cost us points Each one can be compared to a virtually exact example that was ruled differently with in a very short space of time

Today the first Spurs goal was allowed despite it being a foul they credited it as an OG until they relaxed that do so meant a foul then claim Solanke got the final touch Neutral fans on 606 said it was a foul Goals change games and that one encouraged Spurs
City players are flabbergasted at some of the decisions in games you can see it on their faces
it must be so disheartening to fight against

There are no two exact incidents.

The players were coasting.
