After today, it's time to keep a log of all the major decisions that go for and against us to see where we come out.
Last season seemed incredibly lob sided and this season has started the same

Those marked in red are questionable inclusions as they are not cut and dry decisions, so not clearly incorrect.

Embarrassing thread.

Victim mentality.

Dear God

Yes utterly cringeworthy thread, it’s playing the victim again when we deservedly got hammered!

Arteta fans clutching at straws again, we’ve lost 3 because we’ve been utterly useless, just like last season.

It’s down to the awful manager.

Thread belongs on RAWK

Experiencing some first grade vicarious embarrassment right now.

Beginning to think jayram might be Arsene Wenger

Jay, you are sinking to a new low.

Kola booked v city for something their second goal wasn't disallowed for

Against leads 7-0 v For

Arteta must manage the For

Lol

Counterpoint we were shit those game aliens did not probe the referee to turn against us.

It's not about how we played.
It's about refereeing decisions. Major ones that effect games.
3 games in and we're suffering an average of 2 major incorrect decisions against us per game.

I will be interested to see if ' luck' really does even out.

I was kind of expecting all those happy to see Arsenal lose turn up here so not really surprised and don't really care.

We are playing some of the worst football I've ever seen us play, but the refs do seem to have picked up on some harshness towards us this season. A more interesting question may be why

Thread is only relevant if we see how others are with officials and not just against us
