I understand your point, but I really cant remember there being so many huge ref mistakes last season. Sure, those happened. And minor mistakes will always happen. But this season we have huge blunders every single week, and I can’t remember it being that bad before

I know its funny to call it a bottle job. But the fact is that even when Arsenal were 8 pts ahead, booking companies still gave Arsenal just abit over 50/50 chance of winning it. When that lead dropped to 6 pts City were favorites to win the league. Bottling something indicates that someone loses something they should have won. Not winning something you aren’t expected to win isn’t bottling it. And the reason no one expected Arsenal to win it is because City always goes on these insane win streaks when it matters. It was always going to take a miracle to keep that lead over City

I agree that this pen is a terrible decision, but saying its one of the worst you’ve seen? Did you start watching football 2 days ago? Atleast the ball undeniably hits his arm, so there is at the very least some sort of rationale you can give for why its a pen. We have seen soo many other decisions, just this season alone, where there is just no rationale for the decision whatsoever. While this decision is bad, it is not even close to the worst we have seen this season

Nah, this doesn’t benefit Arsenal at all. Karma would be if Arsenal win the return fixture by a couple dubious calls. This decision just benefits PSG who isn’t any better than the rest of the state owned clubs

That is only relevant if the encroaching player has an impact on the play, which usually means that a defender clears the ball away or that an attacker scores a rebound. Simply having a toe inside the area doesn’t cause the penalty to be retaken if it is scored.

Looking forward to Rio Ferdinand on VAR seeing a player straight up assaulting an opponent and then just say “nothing in that”. Wait, we already have that today…
