In the seasons we came second, a quick look through any of their social feeds or forums would show the place flooded with supporters crowing about how they “denied Arsenal the title.”
That's four KMI panels now, concluding there have been two major errors against Arsenal (penalty & red not awarded vs Villa, penalty incorrectly given to Sunderland) and no major errors in Arsenal's favour.
🚨 Mikel Arteta agrees new Arsenal contract. #AFC boss into last year of deal but all sides aimed to extend since talks started in spring; improved terms now in place for 44yo & coaching staff also in process of renewing @TheAthleticFC post @SamiMokbel_BBC https://t.co/eYtlzKBPY3
This was the day I realised that rest of the world had truly lost their fuckin minds.
They wrote books criticising us for playing defensive football
-While 2-1 up
- With 10 men for a whole half
- Away to then current champions Man City
Arteta already has so many poignant and great quotes in his coaching career.
We got lucky he was still available and willing the second time around. He’s going to be seen as levels soon in the coaching realm.
A further note in this piece is on the tribalism, which, from an unofficial, and I think sadly, in some cases, an official capacity, is a major block for improvement of officiating of the sport.
Point-scoring online seems to be more preferred than hoping for better standards.
@sensible_gunner I call them the Arsenal rules. Very specific momentum reffing. Prem refs the best at it.
Because the majority watch with disdain it’s ignored.
Premier league is actually crazy dawg, you have the Big 6 to worry about then the B brothers then St James Park, Stadium of Light and Hill Dickinson on a Monday Night.
