PL: Wolves vs Arsenal | Tuesday 2nd February | KO: 18:00 UTC | BT Sport

[Breezy]

When we were 1-0 up I was about to comment how much I feel sorry for Nuno. Now I hope he gets fired and Wolves get relegated then within 5 years the club goes into liquidation.

When an elite Champions League commentator calls out VAR, you know VAR has ****ed up!

 

[Red London]

Wasn't the United game before we played Leicester?

Either way, we need to take belief from how well we played in that first half. We can hurt a lot of teams playing in that manner.

Im 99% sure United was after. We played villa after United.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Did you know that game actually f*cked us as well?

Chelsea had two offside goals given which gave them the win. We finished two points behind them that season and would have had top four.

Yes the Jorginho game he may into something. Every game we seem have something with him

I think a bit of balance here is needed because to be honest some of the shouts of corruption/bias, I don't think really helps.

First, the decision yesterday was correct. The decision not to overturn was also correct. The issue at hand here is not how the refs applied the law, but how the law is poorly written and should clearly account for what happened last night as we were unduly punished for an accidental coming together. Honestly, its a shame that common sense didn't prevail, but hopefully they learn and change the law.

Likewise, people can bleat all they want about us being top of the red card table but last in fouls because that stat is completely meaningless and misses the point. Fouls, yellow cards, red cards are not automatically equal between clubs and depends on various factors such as temperament (i.e, Pepe/Xhaka getting sent off for violent conduct), extent to which the side makes tackles, where those tackles are made (i.e., Luiz numerous times when he's last man) and so on. I honestly can't remember every decision, but the only one I remember being obviously incorrect (Smith-Rowe) got overturned.

If people really want to make a case for bias/corruption then they need to produce a better set of data. First that needs to involve (i) an analysis of Arsenal reds and whether they were warranted - which I think they were; (ii) an analysis of a large corpus of data from various clubs that tries to objectively analyse whether fouls were judged lightly (i.e., unpunished or only a yellow) and how they compare to similar tackles that Arsenal make. I get tired of seeing images that are cherrypicked to demonstrate bias - it's crap, if you really want to verify bias then do it, otherwise shut up and suck up what was a correct decision of a **** law.

Watch the VAR video above, gives a great example of the Red for Auba which was harsh and I think it was the next week when an identical foul went unpunished - also the boot in the face for Mustafi which was ruled as 'accidental' .

I appreciate where you're coming from, but this is one of those cases where generally these things will/should even out over the course of a season. Just look at last nights game, there were a couple of fouls against us not even given and then a 50/50 call and no hesitation to blow up.

These things also mask the facts/stats.

Need that clown emoji @El Duderino was on about right about now.

You disagree with anything I say, you say it respectfully, otherwise you can fvck off.

.

That's only because Kane is exempt from any booking. One man team.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I smh at all the outpouring of sympathy and outrage by so many people who mocked Wenger and laughed at this club over the last 20 years. It's their favouring of SAF and hatred of our club that has us here. The behaviour is learned and passed down through generations of refs. We have a choice now where we bring in a unit of say 15 specialist VAR refs and go with the spirit of the laws or operate a strict liability principle for everything. Either way, where there a human, there's an error.

 

[bergholt]

Yeah ridicilous cause we think the var teams are selective/subjective? You probably slept well yesterday didn't you

I did! I think they’re incompetent, I don’t think they’re biased.

Just have to love the double standard! Only among PL refs!

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Is this any different from Luiz?

It's worse then Luiz to be fair. But hey, it's ManU after all!

 

[MikeVinna]

Still infuriated when I think about this decision. At some point this club needs to make a stand against this corruption. It’s gone on far too long now.

Apparently Wolves took the piss out of Leno on TikTok but deleted.

Tin pot d*ckheads.

 

[sdotzdot]

Absolutely sickened by yesterday, this cannot be dropped. ****ing bellends

I don’t have any form of social media, please tell me the fans aren’t letting this go. This can’t slowly wither away to “well it is what it is let’s move”

 

[bergholt]

I strongly believe they are purposely shafting us and don't care how blatant it is. I cannot accept that this is just down to incompetence.

I follow football teams in three different codes. That message would be 100% suitable for any of their forums.

Either I’m the unluckiest guy in the world or every team on the planet thinks the refs/umpires/officials hates them particularly.

I think it’s the second of those.

 

[kash2]

imagine a man who felt 22 yrs of this injustice and pain, malice from referees, FA and media. saw his players broken and injured and opponents afforded impunity .. and then saw his fanbase take their side.

not fit to lick his boots .. the lot of them

 

[kash2]

nice to see the bookies have deputed a couple of social media managers to this forum to enlighten us on how this is all perfectly normal

They were literally nothing, until Mendes decided to use them to launder money...joke of a club.
