well we were robbed of points by poor decisions in that match.
the ref was pitiful , failed to give 3 penaltys , failed to send atleast 2 players off . he also gave blackburn total advantage , killing our dominance , in the last 20 minutes by giving everything blackburns way.
the linesman was the worst ive ever seen in my life.
the goal should have stood. he gave throw ins the wrong way , failed to flag blatant fouls , and was over ruled by the ref on basic decisions.
we battered them today and made them look like a bunch of wannabes.
our play deserved a 3-0 win , and defo a 1-0 win with johnsons goal.
good game , disgraceful officials . both should be sacked ,and thats not an knee jerk reaction.both the ref and linesman were tragically bad.
poor old johnson , and a lesser extent arteta ,were kicked all over that pitch and the ref failed to protect them to the point where tempers went over the top.
the main thing i will take from todays match is that blackburn are rated as a top side for the uefa cup place this season. well we may not have got the goals but play wise we were miles better than them today.we have a few players to come back into the team so imo we are definatly good enough to be knocking on the champions league door.
good game , unlucky us , come on you blues
