So in one night we’ve seen a player getting booked for a foul in the penalty area without conceding a penalty and another player charging into Djed Spence using his elbow, breaking his jaw, without being sent off.
Just your average officiating in a game against Spurs.
Completely normal stuff.
We’ve been terrible this season. Even at times in tonight’s game it was hard to watch because of just how bad we were. So it’s not an excuse.
But every single week since the Sunderland game we have had the most ridiculous decisions you can imagine go against us. Decisions that aren’t even up for debate. Blatant, obvious. To everyone I speak to. Nailed on red cards. Nailed on penalties. An endless line of nothing free kicks that are given against us but never given for us. A manager who is being micromanaged by the 4th official in a way I’ve seen no other manager treated this season.
It will serve as no consolation if we do go down. But it’s been an absolute disgrace and you’ve got to the point where you just know you’re not going to get a thing. That one down there. Where a player doesn’t look at the ball once, knows exactly where Spence is, and chooses to go in with his elbow. It’s like we’re living in a dream
This is crazy. The least yellow cards, 0 red cards and 0 penalties against the team that brawls in both boxes, time wastes at every chance and literally headbutted a player last week.
I’m glad City won’t win this title but this year’s title is tainted by the @FA_PGMOL
How on earth is this not a penalty. 10 seconds to check this and deny a Clear penalty whilst they’re giving the Arsenal decision yesterday after 10 minutes despite it being much less clear and obvious. The officiating in this league is a disgrace. What a joke.
Yes, that should have been a red card for James Trafford after catching Kudus with a knee to the chest and swatting the ball away with his arm outside the box
We have now equalled our record for the most defeats in a PL season with 19. 1 more and we will equal our record within a 38-game season.
This is our club and we must all come together and demand better
The laughter of Mikel Arteta is truly troubling. It is a vile reaction & not something that should be handled in this fashion. Anyone who has followed things with Thomas Partey understands why.
Arteta's continued support is a despicable, legacy affecting choice.
