    We only have 2 defeats because we got fucked over by VAR both times, the league is a farce now

    Only caught the end of the game so I have no idea how we played. Looking at the match thread it sounds like we didn’t deserve to lose but fuck me this is not a game we could afford to lose.

    This puts so much pressure on the Liverpool game as if it wasn’t hard enough, with how they’re snatching results the best we can hope for is being two points clear if we don’t slip again. Fuck, looking at man United they might just let Salah put 5 past them.

    Venting aside I have to be happy that we are still second with a game in hand and stay optimistic. Just such a shitty way to wake up.

      It’s because PGMOL actively want us to lose. Nothing else. We didn’t play great but we played more than good enough to score 2 goals and get 2 reds and a pen, all called off.

        I wasn’t able to catch the match. Just finished watching the highlights and saw the disallowed goal on Havertz. It accidentally brushes his hand, but it’s a handball. If that was the defending side it’d be put down to accidental and no penalty. I guess benefit always caters to the defending side.

        What other moments were there?

        Also, it’s not the first time VAR has not called a red on an obvious and unsportsman elbow on an Arsenal player not involved in play. It’s pretty bullshit…

          Jesus got kicked in the back of the leg that takes him off balance while it’s in the air and in the box; obviously the eddie one, and saka scored one rightly disallowed. Forget what i was saying was a second red tbh.

            I think maybe the tackle on Saka’s achilles? Don’t quite remember, to be honest. No one’s talking about it, so.

    I’ll be honest I didn’t really have a problem with the ref that match. We should have buried them when we were on top and didn’t. We didn’t take our chances, that’s how we lost the game.

      I mean, Eddie got a straight elbow to the head out of nowhere and it wasn’t a red. Feels like if nothing else, that’s a massive indictment on the ref.
