When you read RAWK after the Spurs v Liverpool game and the Arsenal v City game you start to feel embarrassed about our reaction to games and threads like this with all the posts banging on about the agenda against City.
Even before a game kicks off you get people saying “Atwell has been appointed ref for Arsenal away, we may as well just give Arsenal the points, we won’t be getting anything from this game, PIGMOL strike again!”
It’s all a bit pathetic. Sorry, I’ll correct that; it’s utterly fucking pathetic and makes us look like dicks with a massive victim mentality! (just read those RAWK threads if you haven’t done before, it’s no different to this place after some games!)
Yes, the media do have an agenda against City, but the Premier League and PIGMOL don’t. The constant suggestions that they do just land us straight in the cult-like paranoia sewer with the RAWK lot.
Yesterday the ref got a lot of decisions wrong but they went in both team’s favours:
Ederson/Odergard - Should have been a City free kick and a booking for Odergard because Odergard studded Ederson’s ankle… it was given as an Arsenal corner with the Arsenal fans, team and manager, and Liverpool fans, looking like dicks screaming for a penalty and crying about VAR.
Rodri/Martinelli - Should have been a City free kick and a Martinelli booking because Rodri got the ball and Martinelli cleaned him out… it was given as an Arsenal corner with Arsenal fans looking like dicks booing the ref and crying that it should have been a free kick and a booking for Rodri.
Partey/Jesus - could have been a City penalty but would have been soft, I’m not bothered it wasn’t given, it was probably more of an indirect free kick in the box to City as it was probably more of an obstruction (it was holding) than a foul… it was given as an Arsenal goal kick and brushed over by everyone.
Bernardo/Xhaka - there was some contact (Bernardo ran into Xhaka’s legs really rather than it being a foul by Xhaka) and Bernardo dived (he did dive, we’d be calling Salah out about the same thing), but then Xhaka pulled Bernardo’s shirt so it can’t really not be a penalty but it’s soft as fuck… it was given as a City penalty and we proper got given one there!
Gabriel/two bookings - dissent and then brought Jesus down with contact in the face… who knows what Gabriel said to the ref to get booked, nobody will ever know whether it was justified. But he was stupid enough to bring Jesus down after that so fuck the ****!
Partey/referee - when the ref was giving Gabriel his second yellow, Partey ran over and just for a second put his hands on the ref which should be an automatic red card… ref ignored it. It would have been a bit extreme to send him off for it but he could have done and should have booked him.
Rodri/two bookings - Arsenal fans think Rodri should have had four bookings in the game. The one I mentioned above but I’ve already shown how was actually a foul on Rodri by Martinelli; the one when he bright down Lacazette by body checking him (could easily have been a yellow); for taking his shirt off when celebrating the winner; and/or for confronting the Arsenal fans when celebrating the winner… I’d have no problem if he was booked for the Lacazette foul and then sent off after the winner.
VAR - Arsenal and Liverpool fans, and BT Sport, moaning that VAR didn’t ask the ref to look on the screen at the Odergard incident when they did the Bernardo incident… but they are two completely different incidents and if VAR definitely don’t think that the Odergard one is a penalty, they don’t need to ask the ref to go and take a look. The moaning about this has been fucking ridiculous… LEARN THE FUCKING RULES YOU THICK TWATS!
The reaction by Arsenal fans, the Arsenal team and stand-in manager for the game, and by Liverpool fans, has been absolutely pathetic. But it’s no different to any time we react on here in exactly the same way. We look just as pathetic and we need to start to reign it in big time!
