Even our support singing “we’re flipping shite”

Gunfire · **#353562**

Jesus this is pathetic. One attempt on target.

gooner7 · **#353563**

Welbeck picking up the ball to hasten the game is his most useful contribution so far in the game

More eloquently the same point I've made on here for year - I remember having discussions with Harlow about it. The PGMOL has been run out of Manchester and disproportionally full of refs from Lancs, Cheshire & Manc for a couple of decades now, with a likewise high % from Yorkshire. Is it really likely that those three counties are really twice as good at producing referees than the rest of England and Wales combined? I've read before that there is a significant regional divide withing the PGMOL, and refs often feel pressured to relocate to one of the above areas in order to get to ref in the top flight.

Quite apart from any accusations of bias, that regional distrubution can't be right. The last ref based in the south East in the top flight bar the aforementioned Graham Scott was Steve Bennett who retired 8 years ago.

All very well but what it does not show in any shape or form is that this disparity produces refs who are biased against London clubs and Arsenal in particular.

By the way, percentages are extremely misleading in reporting disparities as opposed to natural frequencies. Why not just give the numbers? The media often report some startling percentage risk increase of heart attacks or stroke in, say, taking painkillers when the difference in actual numbers is not really alarming. A 20% increase or decrease may be not very much at all - the percentage just makes it sound scarily significant.

Re %'s, I've already said that Mike Dean's sample size is the greatest possible, and in previous posts I already mentioned the figues. RE the above, Hoy's already given the exact figures.

Holding is having a very poor game

At least one of our defence does every game.
Totally dominated by an 18 year old from the championship - who isn’t even first choice.

Mertesacker has been rubbish as well.

long time gooner · **#353567**

We have a slow and useless defence. That combined with a complete lack of attacking threat. Can’t think why we are losing.

lomekian · **#353568**

Awful performance so far, particularly as AMN and Nelson have been our best players (shout to Debuchy to, and Iwobi hasn't been too bad). All other outfield players poor

Does Wenger get to do a post-match interview if he's on a touchline ban?

I sure hope so.

He'd probably tell us he's 'a very stable genius'.

lomekian · **#353570**

Oh well. Another nail in Wenger's coffin...

Rich · **#353571**

Can see why wenger hasn’t been rotating the team. The second 11 are absolute cr@p. The squad has gone to pieces and wenger has overseen every part of its destruction.
I don’t want him anywhere near our club for another day

Gunfire · **#353572**

And Walcott? Should he get a new contract he has been useless.

long time gooner · **#353573**

Well that was lucky. Can we take advantage?

Rich · **#353574**

3-2. Howler from their gk

Welbeck

And that goal ! :angel9:

gooner7 · **#353576**

Lucky goal from Welbeck. That's his best contribution to date. Well done lad.

lomekian · **#353577**

Jammy goal to get back into it

IMO, he looks disinterested. Just going through the motion.

Evidently we want £30 mill for him. You'd have to be touched in the head to pay that.

Lincoln gooner · **#353580**

What a total farce of a performance.

lomekian · **#353581**

Great tackle from Debuchy - Penalty forest...

warrior · **#353582**

And another penalty - and goal.

and 2 more yellows ..

Well done ...

gooner7 · **#353583**

And Per messes us up with a dumb dumb pass. And of all people, to a listless, disinterested Walcott.

Unfortunately he will just go upstairs and adversely impact his successor, especially if as suggested it’s someone like Arteta

Daz · **#353585**

So I don't think there will be much controversy after this game.

warrior · **#353586**

Double kick - should have been taken again. Moot now anyway really.

Wenger will be having kittens with these pens ...

I blame northerners.

And Zionists.

Lincoln gooner · **#353588**

This hasn't happened because of a *%^@ northern ref. It's happened because we are *%^@*** useless.

lomekian · **#353589**

Double hit! Ha the goal shouldn't stand. No pen, and shouldn't have counted!

We've been *%^@, but tough to take for the kids.

gooner7 · **#353590**

Now Wenger has something to complain. A way out for him to deflect the real issues with his team.

long time gooner · **#353591**

A complete shambles of a club.

lomekian · **#353592**

Of course this is all because we have a *%^@ squad for a big club

Rich · **#353593**

Jon Moss, you are useless.
Player kicks the ball against his standing foot from the pen. Jon Moss hasn’t got a clue what to do and give sthe goal.
What was the point in talking to his linesman.

Arsenal deserve nothing from this game. We’ve conceded 4 against an average championship team but how is Jon Moss a referee at the top level. Let alone apply the rules correctly he doesn’t even know the rules.

Only going to give wenger more fuel for his conspiracy theory

warrior · **#353594**

Forrest down to 10 men.

Gaz from Oz · **#353595**

Got up because i could not sleep. 50 minutes gone at the time. Wee bit of trouble.

Let me say that this game appears to be Holdings , Gallas moment.

Still time if we actually played. Not say Wellbeck goal it should be an own goal. He was shooting wide.

I don't care what you say Forest have been really poor lately and to ship 4 goals to them is terrible.

lomekian · **#353596**

Ridiculous to only have 4 mins added on...and there's Theo being *%^@ and cowardly again

long time gooner · **#353597**

It’s not clear that it’s a double kick. It’s not clear that it should have been a penalty. We just seem to be in a rut of the benefit of the doubt always going against us.

gooner7 · **#353598**

We are still moving so slow despite playing against 10 men and with the clock running down. Really lacks urgency

Rich · **#353599**

Only 4 mins of added time. Haha. It should be double that.

This has been a joke from start to finish. Someone please come and save our club. I don’t care if we don’t win anything for a while, just show me something different and some ambition

Wenger ranting about refs the other day probably hasn't helped.
