What a battle against the odds for Arsenal; it must’ve taken a lot of hard work to pay off referees and @FA_PGMOL, am I right?
Here’s a list of incidents:
Matheus Cunha’s penalty not given for Manchester United despite a clear foul (Arsenal win 1-0).
Max Dowman’s dive against Leeds given as a penalty.
Gabriel not sent off for hitting Nick Woltemede in the face against Newcastle (scored a last-minute winner, as Arsenal win 2-1).
Gabriel’s handball against Newcastle not given as a penalty (scored a last-minute winner, as Arsenal win 2-1).
William Saliba’s foul on Thierno Barry not given as a penalty against Everton (Arsenal win 1-0).
Mikel Merino not sent off aganst Villa despite blatently pulling back Morgan Rogers while on a yellow card.
Leandro Trossard’s penalty on Florian Wirtz not given despite a blatent foul while already on a yellow (Arsenal draw 0-0).
Jurrien Timber not sent off against Forest for pulling back Anderson for a clear 2nd yellow (Arsenal draw 0-0).
Gabriel not sent off against Brentford for a clear 2nd yellow for fouling Dango Outtara (Arsenal draw 1-1).
Gabriel Jesus not given a red card for attacking Yerson Mosquera after the Wolves game.
Gabriel not sent off for last man foul on Kolo Muani against Spurs.
Spurs’ goal disallowed for Gabriel’s dive for Kolo Muani's goal (this would’ve been 2-2 with Arsenal down to 10 men).
Brighton’s penalty not given for Martinelli’s foul on Wiefer (Arsenal win 1-0).
Penalty for Chelsea not given despite Rice hands around Joao Pedro's neck/handball (Arsenal win 2-1).
Penalty for Chelsea not given for Raya punching Joao Pedro in the head (Arsenal draw 2-1).
Jurrien Timber’s winner against Chelsea comes from a corner that was won from a free kick that was a clear dive. (Arsenal win 2-1).
Gabriel not sent off against City for a blatent headbutt on Erling Haaland (Arsenal’s best defender would’ve been suspended for three games).
Callum Wilson’s goal disallowed for West Ham despite multiple fouls by Arsenal players and a similar goal for Arsenal given against Manchester United AND Newcastle United, earlier on in the season (Arsenal win 1-0).
Kai Havertz not sent off against Burnley despite a clear and obvious red card challenge (Arsenal win 1-0).
Aside from that, what a battle against the odds!!
SAF was about to retire in 2012, City won the league & SAF decided he couldn’t go out as a loser so he stayed on & retired as a champion the next season
Meanwhile Pep goes scuttling off as a runner-up with 115 charges hanging over him
No argument about greatest PL manager
Alex Ferguson stayed through Wenger’s challenge, survived Mourinho backed by Roman’s billions, rolled up his sleeves when Ancelotti came swinging and stood firm beyond City’s oil money.
Pep will always leave the moment rivals start swinging back. Coward.
If Arne Slot wants to complain about the Benjamin Sesko goal & wanted it overturned, go ahead. I'd have been ok with that, want to know why?
Because then Curtis Jones would have been sent off under DOGSO for pulling back Sesko & preventing him from scoring with the original chance.
VAR would have to review the entire attacking phase in the build up, which is standard protocol when disallowing a goal. It would have come under scrutiny as a missed foul in the build-up.
Sesko's goal (which never had enough clear evidence to overturn anyway) was a better outcome for Liverpool than a DOGSO red card & penalty, for which Bruno Fernandes has a 85% success rate of scoring.
Likely 2-0 down with 10 men sounds a lot worse than 2-0 down with 11. The bigger missed decision was Jones, not Sesko. Know when you've been outplayed, don't make excuses & try to claim being hard done by.
Here's a list of decisions this season alone that should be included as evidence in any complaint:
- Nathan Collins pulled back Bryan Mbeumo in the box, DOGSO incident. Only a yellow card + penalty instead of a red. VAR (Andy Madley) did not intervene. Unanimous KMI Panel error, should have been a red. Howard Webb admitted it.
- Amad brought down in the box by a back-leg challenge from Maxim De Cuyper. Anthony Taylor waved play on, VAR upheld "no penalty." Clear foul in many people's view, no review despite contact.
- Emmanuel Agbadou handball in the box. VAR (Stuart Attwell) did not send Michael Salisbury to the monitor. Clear penalty per rules, inconsistent with a similar situation later in game (& was given). Official KMI error.
- Lisandro Martínez's goal disallowed for minimal contact/foul on Kyle Walker vs Burnley. Stuart Attwell was referee, Craig Pawson was VAR. KMI Panel ruled it a clear error (no foul), PGMOL reportedly apologised.
- Patrick Dorgu was on the ground near the touchline, Walker deliberately stamped on the back of Dorgu's leg, with no attempt to play the ball. Attwell gave nothing & VAR did not intervene. Ex-PGMOL chief said Walker should be charged & suspended.
- On Opening Day Matheus Cunha was denied a penalty after a foul by William Saliba by Simon Hooper. Fans & media argued it was a stonewall penalty, no VAR intervention by Paul Tierney.
- Aaron Wan-Bissaka's bad tackle not given a second yellow that should have been a straight forward decision & red card. Andrew Kitchen did nothing.
- A pile of evidence from Stuart Attwell's pathetically inept display vs Bournemouth.The no penalty for Amad & everything it caused in its aftermath.
Manchester United should speak out & stand up for themselves more, because nobody else will. Whenever a controversial decision is made, the other side of it is always discussed by either the media or rivals.
🚨👑 Bruno Fernandes sets new record for Manchester United: 16 assists in a single Premier League season.
Most than any other player in #MUFC history, beating David Beckham’s record with 15.
