Gerrard should get back in his box about Saka

Howdy folks and welcome to another working week. Monday's are always made a little more easier after The Arsenal get a win and despite the fact that the Scum also beat West Ham to move to within three points of us, I am still in confident enough and happy enough mood. Don't get me wrong, [...]

The state of refereeing and the unconscious bias against The Arsenal

Can we have a quick chat about referees? I feel I read blogs, watch videos and listen to podcasts of Arsenal fans, with all of us collectively having to repeat the phrase "Now, this isn't a conspiracy, but..." as a caveat when we speak about referees. We have to qualify any statement before going in [...]

Hard fought victory for the Arsenal, marred by refereeing weirdness

That was a big, BIG, result last night for The Arsenal. Make no mistake about it, it was hard fought, hard earned and even with a fair dose of perceived injustice for us, that felt like it could potentially have a bearing on our season. If somehow we manage to keep our best players on [...]

Is there an unconscious bias that exists that hampers Arsenal?

Morning folks. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Another Arsenal-less Saturday it is, although let's be honest, we're going to have to get used to that in the immediate future, because in February we only have two matches to play! I know it's a short month, but it won't feel like it from an Arsenal [...]

Arsenal looking good against Man City, VAR and referees less so

I have a whole plethora of mixed emotions this morning. Yesterday's game against Man City was one that I thought to myself was a free hit, I just wanted us to compete, but what we got was an Arsenal team that not only competed, but I thought dominated Man City for two-thirds of a football [...]

What ‘process’ are we trusting again, Arsenal?

Last night's shambolic Arsenal performance was a massive alarm bell for me. It was an appalling indictment of all the things Arteta and his Arsenal team have got wrong and although we went through a good run of form before the last international break, that is looking more and more like an outlier in the [...]

Vardy’s already put Arsenal one down before we’ve started

Before I talk about the game Arsenal are playing today, can I just take this opportunity once again to bemoan the absolute travesty that is the state of refereeing in the Premier League right now. Yesterday's game between West Brom and Brighton involved an incident in which a referee - Lee Mason - decided to [...]

Referees old clowns network has to go

I didn't blog yesterday on account of a bit of a stinking hangover, but also I didn't really have much motivation after that disappointing performance against Aston Villa on Saturday lunchtime. I did however put the football on whilst I was cooking yesterday, so was able to see Liverpool get utterly beat up against a [...]

A referees league table with relegation/promotion; bringing back some accountability

Still pretty frustrated about the way that Wolves game panned out on Tuesday, I have to tell you. It was clearly a contentious point that split most people in football but whilst the fault lines seem to be that every other pundit and ex-referee (most of them, anyway) were coming down on the "red card.
