The VAR check for this lasted three seconds. THREE SECONDS. How can they look at every angle in THREE seconds? x.com/OnlyGifs9/stat…

The whole Gabriel being Rugby tackled at corners is a bit of a joke that it has gone unpunished two games in a row. Since when is that not a foul? The officials see what they want to see. Cheating in front of our eyes. Welcome to the English Premier League.

The logic of football officiating is that if the ref calls it, it is correct. But if the ref ignores it, it is not even worth talking about.

At this stage, I think Arsenal's best shot at a trophy is the Champions League, purely because it is not refereed by the PGMOL. I'm not ruling out the domestic competitions, but it's so difficult competing with that handicap on us.

The penalty given against Arsenal was an error. The PGMOL should be admitting this, reflecting on why it happened, and working to reduce such errors in the future. Instead, they'll deny it is an error, carry on as they are, not improve, and continue making terrible errors.

Why do we go along with the charade? They've already decided who their decisions are going to favour. In a tough league where the small margins count, refereeing bias is going to make all the difference.

Like that again, never a free kick, let alone a yellow for Maguire. You'll see those tackles let go or given based on who the refs want to favour. How can it be so inconsistent?!

Yeah it was genuinely maddening the way people started pretending he’d just booted the ball into the stands. He can see City’s last defender stepping up, he can see Martinelli running, he can see the space behind. This kick would obviously have been the correct footballing play.

Dermot Gallagher “The ball gets Saliba rather than Saliba get the ball” Well that’s a new phrase just made up for the arsenal Sky Sports News

This 2nd half is the worst I've seen us play in ages. 1st half was alright, but so far off the pace 2nd half. Looks so laboured. #ARSNEW
