Yeaa I saw that to, it’s insane. Arsenal red card/ foul is what you would call a statistic anomality and that usually then needed an explaination would like the referees to present that.....
Good that these stats and articles are starting to surface. They cannot simply be waved away. The counter argument that once you drill in you will see that most cards given are some how "justified" is also a false one, as all fouls and cards given, are given on a subjective basis, and each decision can get a justification for both being and not being made. So the fact that we get more cards per foul and more reds per yellow is in itself proof enough of a bias against us. Some variation is fine but comparing e.g. Burnley to Arsenal can only be proof of bias. What causes this bias is than open for debate, but that it is there is proven.Another look at the stats behind our red cards,
Dirty Arsenal or referee bias - Are the Gunners really the Premier League's bad boys? | Goal.com UK
Arsenal have picked up more red cards than any other Premier League team since Mikel Arteta took over in December 2019 but are the Gunners really that dirty or just victims of refereeing bias?www.goal.com
Those are stats the club must produce themselves and circulate. First to the referee organisation and then to the public. Given how small the margins are between wins and draws and losses making sure the referees give you a fair treatment or better favour you is key. Trying to win with them against you might seem noble, but over time it simply isn't sensible.
But can it really? At least from an Arsenal perspective it cannot get much worse than it already is in my view. We are already so disadvantaged it is not funny any more.
I stand corrected! That is absolutely brutal how biased he is in favor of ManU! ****ing disgraceful!
Another thing. That this **** is the MD for the PGMOL says it all. No wonder that the current crop of referees are as anti-Arsenal as they are.
The only solution is to get rid of Mike Riley and he the person who appoint these refs and keep faith in them. Not to mention he corrupt as well.
I keep hearing how violent London is supposed to be yet not one of these schmucks has ever been touched.
Those days are behind me, @Jury however will do almost anything for a bottle of vodka and a cig.
