Arsenal fans crying about ‘bad’ referring decisions. How ironic 😂

Villa fans this morning

[🥤 @TheImmortalKop]

Congratulations to Arsenal for finally winning the league after two decades, a billion pound spent, multiple incorrect refereeing decisions, cheating, time wasting, demoralising football, dirty tactics. You sold your soul and identity for it, but enjoy it nevertheless

[Aston Villa Statto @AVFCStatto]

This was given as a goal this season btw.

Shock.

Is there a more unlikeable club right now than Arsenal?!

[Dougie Critchley @DougieCritchley]

I see a lot of negativity from Arsenal fans towards Unai Emery, and to be honest I think it's a bit strange.

No one will pretend that Unai Emery worked out at Arsenal. He took over a club that was drifting on and off the pitch, immediately after the departure of a club legend. The mood around the club had been negative for a number of years. The recruitment had not been up to scratch.

It wasn't a happy 18 months.

He then went to Villarreal, won a Europa League title, the club's first major honours and backed that up by reaching the Champions League semi-finals the year after.

At Villa he took over a squad that sat 13th, 4 points clear of relegation and has finished 7th, 4th, 6th and currently has them 5th.

For a manager supposedly "incapable of balancing Europe with the Premier League," he's reached the Conference League semi-finals, Champions League quarter-finals and this year the Europa League semi-finals.

A level of League consistency we haven't seen from Big 6 clubs like Man United, Spurs and Chelsea in recent years, whilst balancing Europe.

He's clearly an incredibly talented manager.

The Arsenal fans that are blaming Emery for rotating, (no doubt motivated by the fact Spurs won comfortably) when they still have a chance of winning a first trophy in 30 years...

Just come across as weirdly petty.

It'll be 7 years this November that Emery left Arsenal, their fans that are still looking to looking to downplay his achievements, need to move on!

@johntownley11 Look at joao pedro foot position here.

That’s sooooo dodgy.

Image on screen foot planted and offside, computer generated image bares no resemblance.

[Luke Collins @Colt_88]

Just seen the Utd ‘pen’ this league is laughable! Villa wouldn’t even get a FK for that 😂

[Luke Collins @Colt_88]

Don’t think we deserved a point today! That said, EVERY GAME I watch feels like the officials are anti Villa! We don’t get the same decisions opposing teams do I swear

[Kevin Gage ⚽️🎤🎶 @gageykev]

Been at Villa Park today & witnessed the most farcical VAR decision I’ve ever seen! 😳🤷‍♂️

The game was stopped for about 5 mins after Villa had equalized while a goal check was performed. Apparently they had to check whether the ball was millimeters out of play at the other end of the pitch near the corner flag in Villas defensive third. The linesman didn’t flag as he either couldn’t see or presumably thought the ball was hadn’t gone out.
Villa kept the ball in play, broke upfield & after some interplay round the box, scored.

But these days VAR, has to intervene to check absolutely EVERY tiny potential infringement of the rules… they seem to actively find reasons to disallow a goal!

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought VAR was brought in to clear up ‘clear & obvious’ errors. The decision to say the ball was millimeters out of play took a team of VAR operators in a control room somewhere approx 5/6 minutes to work out, with their umpteen camera angles & tech equipment! Is that clear & obvious?… I hardly think so.

VAR is ruining the game.

Where does common sense come into play? If Villa had kept possession of the ball for longer with a slow patient build up of passes for a couple of minutes, then would VAR go right back to the incident? How many minutes do we go back ffs?
Where does it end? 😳

[Luke Collins @Colt_88]

Can’t shake off that disallowed goal! I know if that was one of the so called big 6 teams that goal stands!

[Luke Collins @Colt_88]

Actually fuck VAR!
Clear and Obvious my ass!

[Scottie Pippen @ScottiePippen]

As you get older, you’ll realize that a $30,000 watch and a $30 watch both tell the same time.

A Gucci wallet and a Target wallet hold the same amount of money.

A $10,000,000 house and a $100,000 house host the same loneliness.

A Ford will also drive you as far as a Bentley.

True happiness is not found in materialistic things, it comes from the love and laughter found with each other.

Stay humble… the holes dug for us in the ground are all the same size.

[TheGolfDivoTee™  @TheGolfDivoTee]

Garner is already on a yellow card and does this to Rogers just outside the box - not so much as a free kick let alone a second yellow!!

The refereeing and VAR decisions that go against ‘certain’ clubs is an absolute joke.

[Kevin Hughes @KevHughesie]

Amazing that #avfc just lost at home after 11 straight wins, are 3rd in the PL behind ££ Arsenal and City (level on points), have injuries to key players, restricted in the transfer market, playing in Europe and I’m seeing snide posts scoffing at Emery and our ‘title chances’. 🙄

[Luke Collins @Colt_88]

@_danlander Literally stood in the same spot and was supposedly interfering with pope?! Our officials are literally the worst

[Luke Collins @Colt_88]

@LeomPoss More than a coincidence at this point 👀😂
