Is the pressure too much for Mikel Arteta have just one season of challenging for the title? Take a leaf out of Big Ange's book, fella.
Is the pressure too much for Mikel Arteta have just one season of challenging for the title? Take a leaf out of Big Ange’s book, fella.Back in the old days you know it was the beginning of the end for a manager when they went on a paranoid rant, mostly after a bit of needling from Ferguson, see Benitez and Wenger for prime examples.
The follow up should have been an apology. Doubling down is reaffirming that your club and management have no respect whatsoever for the laws of the game nor those who officiate it. Arteta and Arsenal as a whole have actively set out to make life harder for all referees, and everyone associated with the club should be ashamed of themselves.
No. No it won’t. F**king live a little. Stop being so scared. Ooh, but we won’t win anything because of City. So what? Shall we all just go home now and spend our time reminding each other and ourselves that everything is shit? Christ alive, we live on a dying planet run by the absolute worst of humanity, in which lies are repeated as fact to justify being hateful and murderous. Our world is grim, our futures worse.
This “VAR bashing ” every week is quite frankly getting tedious. Yes it’s flawed and needs fixing but in the mean time, stop whinging about it.City fan here. Some random points from this past week. THIS is why VAR was brought in. Because managers repeatedly, and relentlessly, bitched about referees for years.
That is, apparently, ‘elite’ sportsmen gaining every ‘edge’ they can. But, in the midst of this, you demand that Referees, on the other hand, must be perfect and never EVER make a single mistake in every minute of every game and every single time they officiate. Anything else is either scandalously incompetent, evidence of clear and deliberate bias against your club, or outright corruption.
The first thing that needs to be fixed about VAR is this perception of tension/disconnect between the officials on the field and those in the VAR booth. That there’s two distinct refereeing teams and if one is right the other must be wrong. That starts with commentators and pundits and the narratives they create. The emphasis in post match analysis on close calls and controversies is lazy, uninformed punditry.
As a Liverpool fan, I am used to the roller coaster. But the Liverpool roller coaster is at Alton Towers, and the Spurs one is on the pier at Southend-on-Sea. Congrats. Where we are is a result of that. Anytime the refs make a mistake, they’ll privately tell themselves it’s not that bad because only the suffering team fans are complaining. Quite why arsenal and spurs fans feel like slightly contentious decisions will be reffed properly when utterly obvious ones aren’t is a mystery to me. The tone is set now, and this will be the most subjective season yet in premier League, not because of the VAR system but because of the people running it.
Rashford vs City – the officials made a subjective decision on ‘interfering with play’. Ridiculous, but subjective.
