They are called Referees and they are TERRIBLE

Do you think refs consciously treat Arsenal differently than other teams?

You guys are too funny. So you're telling me that if the refs were fair, we'd be top of the table? Lmao.

It's like you were living under a rock when other teams were kicking our players and maiming them and our own fans were telling Wenger we were too soft plus all the wenger out banners lol.
lol what? I have said for years that there has been a problem between the PGMOL and Arsenal stretching back to the early Wenger days where we were a successful southern + foreign team shaking things up. I’ve wanted the PGMOL to be broken down to a dust for years now.

You may not see it, but your agenda stinks from a mile away mate. Just grouping everyone on the other side of the debate to suit your narrative. Underneath this veil of agenda, there seems to be nothing. As you keep defaulting to the exact same point.

That’s why I said you’ve been marinaded like a Nandos chicken thigh on this chat.

“Where were you when Wenger teams were getting kicked to ****?” Ummm complaining about referees having an agenda against Arsenal.

“Where were you for years when Chelsea and city were financially doping the league until now?” Ummm saying I wish they could be wiped from the face of football and that I even respect clubs like Sp**s over them.

My question to these people is why is there an inquisition about these topics, when they’re things which have damaged our club for years? Pretty weird if you ask me. And apparently it’s us with the agenda.

Keep blaming the ref and ignoring the obvious.

Every team in the league has been shafted at one point or the other. But Arsenal fans go hysterical when a decision go against us. We've lost 4 points this season (if we're using the redcard to judge. Liverpool lost 6 points last season. (The City game and the Sp**s game). Actually it's you who have no substance because apparently we're the best team in the league and would have beaten Bournemouth and Brighton if the ref was on our side. That's pathetic.
It we were good we'd be wiping the floor with those teams. This is the weakest PL in years yet you guys seem to be begging for referee interventions to win games. Disgraceful.

The Rice one was a dumb yellow card when look back.
Seriously? He got booted to the floor from behind after moving the ball a fraction. Have not seen another one of those given like that.

I don’t think you can say with even 70% certainty that any of those 4 were worthy of a sending off.

But continue with the narrative that we’re terrible and there is no agenda against us 😄

When did I say this? Why are you regularly creating things out of thin air? 😂

I'm not sure why all this ref stuff has to go back to the Arsène era anyway.


I supported Arsenal back then as many others did and it was infuriating. I'm far more interested in the issue currently though as it's not historical and something we can maybe change for the future.

The PGMOL needs reforming. But they're not conspiring to stop us from winning the titles. We were ****.

This is pathetic, you're saying we'd have won the league last season and two seasons ago if the ref hadn't ****ed us. That's enough to discredit your argument

That's an unhinged take.

I get it to some extent. We shouldn't stop celebrating Arsène and his past.

But he's not been here for 7 years now. It's weird to think that a fairly sizable minority of Arsenal fans would only know Arsène as a historical figure by now.
I'm not stuck in the Arsène era. I'm only saying there wasn't this backlash a decade ago, why is it that fans are only complaining now? I'm also challenging the idea that we'd be top of the table and champions last season if the ref hadn't robbed us.

This thread needs nuking so bad.

I’m not on this whole conspiracy nonsense and think the refs are just ****, but at the same time anyone who thinks we haven’t been hard done by this season (just by chance or maybe unconscious bias) is actually insane.

Us simply not being good enough for large parts of this season is why we’re not top of the league but ref decisions haven’t helped.

Let’s just try tone it down a notch? @Oxeki dont make me come for you next…

Yeah I agree. Bringing up refereeing though shouldn’t have people defaulting back to Wenger lol. Most people thought we were screwed and treated differently back then too.

You can go back years of my posts on here against the referees.

Most of the people I know believed refs had a problem against Arsenal back in the Wenger days. You’re spinning a narrative like no one thought it.

You’ve taken an L man, stop scrambling.
I'm not scrambling the other guy Roz claimed we'd have won the league last season if the ref hadn't screwed us.

Plenty of us were complaining about our treatment back then too tbf.

I don't think we'd be top of the table with better reffing but I think we'd be within 3-4 points of them.

Liverpool have looked really nervy the past few matches and that's with us 7 behind. If we were 3-4 points back the nerves would probably be even stronger for them.

If Liverpool win the title, fair play to them, they'll have deserved it. But If we end up finishing a point or two behind them I think it's natural fans with bemoan reffing decisions, injuries etc.

Sure we could have just got better results too but I don't think it invalidates ref criticism or injury woes either.
