sometimes you just need not to get shafted in order to get the points
The fact that we are not getting the decisions quite often will of course have an impact over a season. Is it worth 5 or 10 points? Who knows but over a season and over several seasons it will make us place lower than we would have otherwise.

The fume is so strong today. They say you shouldn’t get angry about things you can’t control.... Problem is, you can’t even get even 🤷‍♂️

A positive way to look at it is that we're angry cos we care, which is better than earlier when the team was so abjectly sh*t that apathy was the prevailing feeling. There are glimpses that the team is improving, which makes games like today even more infuriating.

In my opinion there should be an open microphone between the referee and VAR so the audience can hear what's going on. Its bollocks now, The whole refereeing system needs replacing, they all seem so out of touch with each other and what they regard to be the rules. Its almost like they've never sat down with each other and spoken about it. Its that or its blatant corruption at the highest level. The Premier League is the most watched league in the world. The FA should be embarrassed! The referees should be held accountable for their mistakes like any other paying job.

They still appear to like holding stuff up their sleeves though... There always seems be an out for them. It’s pretty clear that every decision is subject to too many variables, when it should be a,b ****ing c.

Wish we could just get Pierluigi Collina, clone him multiple times...and have him as the only ref involved in football.

Rigged game. Betting companies involved? Gambling seems to be everywhere in football.

Get rid of VAR ... these useless officials don’t know how to use technology. All about saving their mates backs and the rest of it. Couldn’t care about making the right decision.

Can accept getting beat by the better team but cannot accept getting beat by incompetence.

Refs don’t have an agenda against Arsenal. Arsenal simply don’t have any players they fear or respect. United get pens every game because they’re full of big name players that appeal and hound refs every incident. Refs looks at Aubameyang smiling all game and Xhaka cuddling players he fouls and think they’re a bunch of soft touches (which they are).

They don't fear Arteta either. Even when decisions go against us which are blatantly wrong he doesn't get that angry or call out referees, at most he'll just say he felt that he got the decision wrong. It's probably easier for refs/officials to give decisions when they know we won't kick up that much of a fuss.

Wenger would have called Marriner an electrician after the game yesterday and took a 3 game ban on the chin.

Some men are built differently though.

Check out the entire thread. Scandalous decisions.

Still don't understand why laca goal against Leicester was not given 😂 the mane elbow to Tierney and walker high foot at Gabriel you can understand these not given its soft.

Nothing soft about them. Mane clearly intentionally attempts to leave one on Tierney. The Walker one would 100% be called a free-kick outside the box.

You always hear the tired old "it evens out in the long run". Well, can anyone recall the last time a controversial game-changing decision went in our favor? Because I sure as hell can't.
Gabriel handball against West Ham earlier in the season, at a time when the rule was that any handball was a penalty the ball clearly hit his hand and it wasn’t even looked at by VAR.
