As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I remember the fat c**t adding about 30 seconds on top of the 3 minutes added at Sunderland and when Bent scored finally blew the whistle. He hates us.
It was even worse, he added 5 minutes and they scored 5:35 into injury time.
You can't expect to play 12 men with 10 and survive. Dowd obviously took on board what Moyes had to say.
Just seen Coyle moaning about the decisions Bolton got in the Spuds match. No justice in this life. At least we got a point out of it. Refereeing has reached a real low.

Now something like that would have been more appropriate, rather than tweeting a whinge about the inconsistency of officials.
Agree totally that it shouldn’t be used to excuse that cowardly shambles, but that doesn’t mean we should overlook it either. It should be perfectly possible to be outraged at our own shocking performance & also question how that fat little *word censored* can get away with such a biased performance. Ultimately they both contributed to what happened today. I can accept bad decisions will always happen (for & against) but so many blatant ones in such a short space of time needs to be questioned, especially considering it came a matter of days after the Cesc incident. There’s no way in my mind Dowd’s shafting of us wasn’t the direct result of the fallout from Tuesday.

Agreed.
I dont think Keown, Adams Bould or Vieira would have raced home after today to post a message on a social networking site.
Why did all the players let that little scrote Barton bully us?
The above names would have ironed him out and if I was playing watching his behaviour I would done much worse.
This club has no bollocks anymore, board, players or manager. And that my friends is the big difference between us and the United team.
Isnt that what Diaby got sent off for not doing?!
There is fuck all our players can do about that if the referee is against them. FACT.
Diaby done fuck all apart from stupidly getting sent off for raising his hand and in the process doing nothing to Barton but grab him.He should have belted him one if he felt the need to get sent off.
Or rather if he wasn't such a dumb *word censored*, waited for revenge and stayed on the field.

Barton got what he wanted and set out to do.
I dont think its advisable in a game where the ref is trying to fuck you over to be looking to exact 'revenge' on an opposition player.

Look a bit closer to home if you want to blame somebody for us fucking up time after time
Oh big time. But he made some shocking mistakes in that game that were borderline criminal.
Even taking into account shit decisions, theres no excuse for throwing away a 4-0 lead with 25 mins left, the blame lies with Wenger and the players, nobody else

Problem is that it comes across as scouse-like whinging. Now if you lose one goal, and the ref is partially responsible for making a bad decision or two that has a major impact then fair enough. But regardless of the officials mistakes, it needed plenty of our own to enable the team to lose the seeming unassailable 4-0 winning position we had.
