So it's unquestionably an agenda against us this season, that has now been proved beyond any question....but I want to know WHY???, what exactly have we done wrong??? Is it historical??, did we do something to a PGMOL member??

I maintain a lot of it has to do with Wenger and how he continually called them out on the corruption towards united. They’ve buried us since.

Goes right back to the old days of us being the first Southern team to break up the northern clubs' dominance and then years later, stopping media darlings Liverpool winning things when the press and tv were all ex-Granada TV and had easy access to that club and the whole mates thing. Then it was us who were stopping Manure, the Premier League and Sky's favourites and that we did it with a 'foreigner' didn't go down well at the FA or Premier League. We've also got a history of doing things our way and not playing the whole money thing. We're just not that popular with the authorities and a lot of it goes back to them being threatened and jealous. It's fucking pathetic.

I hate the current offside laws.

For Liverpool's 2nd, the GK has to worry about 3 strikers. How is he to know that 2 of them in an offside position won't be included as they are "not interfering with play".
Like he'll they're not!

I'd make a new law that if you're inside of the box in an offside position then you're offside.
What until you see what City got away with for their 2nd today....

Agree to an extent, but there’s no reason we can’t take advantage of it too. It was shite defending by Chelsea and their keeper looks awful. Liverpool don’t look amazing all that to me but if teams keep defending like schoolsboys against them they won’t need to be.

always hated us.....i liked it to be honest.......really think its down to jealousy.....

I honestly just think there is some dirty money floating around that is benefiting Man City. We’ve undoubtedly had somewhat more than our share of bad luck the last two seasons, but what sticks out for me far more is that Man City get Every Single Debatable Call go in their favour - including the lack of red cards last season for multiple red card offences by what’s his face when we played them at home. Of course there may as well by subconscious (or conscious) anti Arsenal bias from the officials and wider footballing world, espciallt when faced with the Northern Clubs, but that’s hardly a new thing.

They have always hated us especially the northern clubs...ever since the 1930s the Arsenal were known as the class club with a great tradition...the marble halls and our great Highbury stadium....we were the dogs bollox....total class

Strange how quick they were to mention our one and how absolutely categorically and unquestionably different it was to ours

When they say it's different because players are around him is proper scraping the barrel, mainly because NONE of those players were in front of him and that's all that counts

Fucking hell imagine what they’ve got in store for us next weekend against the victims. They’ll probably send the entire team off for not coming out of the tunnel in an orderly fashion and all the scum on the payroll at sky will say it’s the correct decision by the letter of the law.

It'll be the low-level usual shit like booking us for everything whilst ignoring everything they do until the ref gives them a meaningless yellow card after about 65 minutes just to make the numbers look less obvious. They'll kick the ball away or delay a restart and nothing will happen, they'll also pull and hold in the box and nothing will happen and we'll no doubt have a goal disallowed for offside in front of the keeper. Arteta will also get booked for shouting.

[rodders999]

Agreed Perry - it’s 1 million per cent nailed on that we’ll have a goal ruled out for interfering with the keeper.

Already happened last season when Ben White touched the glove of a keeper before Trossard hammered one into the top corner.

[cameron326]

If we get screwed over at Anfield that’s me done for the season. I’ve a feeling they’ll try and manufacture a title for Liverpool this year to stop the City monopoly. Try being the operative word as I don’t think they’re good enough to finish above City over that many games, even with the odd bit of “fortune” here and there.

[rodders999]

They actually brought in the new “you cannot touch the keeper” rule especially to nobble us after Ben White caused so much chaos last season doing it.

Then a city player does it and they just say fuck it let that one go, wait for those other c.unts to do it and we’ll nail em.

We are playing at home against Liverpool.

We should be asking questions first thing tomorrow morning. That, the kicking the ball away ones that aren't punished, the foul throws that only seem to apply to us and demanding to know why these rules keep being applied only to us. There is no difference at all between those two incidents, fucking nothing at all. It's fucking disgusting. It doesn't matter what the excuse is because there isn't one. They'll all sit there and lap up whatever bollox that bald cûnt Webb spins them because they've been told not to criticise the decisions.

One day, we're going to see a manager stand there with an IPad and ask a referee to look at a similar incident from a different game and demand that the same outcome applies.

That's exactly it. They know they can't keep having cheaty win it and their fall-back option is the dippers now that Manure are such a fucking pile of shit. They fucking hate us and always have done and try and put every obstacle in the way of us succeeding.

Having said that, though. They let an offside goal stand for cheaty in stoppage time for about the third or fourth time in the last couple of years. Whole thing's fucked because they're in so deep with the betting syndicates and Middle Eastern governments that they have to keep fixing so many things so many times.
