Mikel Arteta after Liverpool FC have a legitimate goal rulled out by a massive VAR mistake against Tottenham Hotspur: “They are trying to make the best decisions… we need to understand that mistakes happen.” (October 2023)
Mikel Arteta after Newcastle United score a controversial goal against his Arsenal team and was not ruled out by VAR: “It’s embarrassing, it’s a disgrace, that’s what it is, a disgrace.” (November 2023)
Remember when everyone was laughing at Liverpool when Diaz’s goal wasn’t correctly given by VAR and rival supporters telling us to get on with it and calling Jürgen Klopp a crybaby for speaking out about it, but it’s funny how people change their perception when it happens to their team, funny that isn’t it eh? 🤔😂
🔴✨ Luis Díaz decides to play despite his father still kidnapped in Colombia…

1. In 2022, Everton got a PGMOL apology after Rodri handball was not given as penalty. Everton lost 1-0, and Liverpool lost the title by 1 point because this handball decision was not given.
2. Last season, Arsenal got 2 PGMOL apologies which cost them 5 points. City won the League by 5 points
3. Man City have never received a PGMOL apology. Somehow the horrible quality of refereeing in this league never affects them, but affects their direct title rivals a lot.
So in last 2 years, 3 apology worthy mistakes have given 2 titles to Man City, the same team that has not been punished for FFP in 15 longgg years. You hear a lot of praise for City and Guardiola from pundits and ex-players. But if Klopp points out issues about FFP and VAR, he is said to be moaning/crying/whinging and should move on. Interesting, and quite an absurd logic 🤔
