The performance of a team being poor shouldn't be an excuse for a Referee to be a twat to said team.

Agree, but I'd rather concentrate on Arsenal's 0.5 xg for the game. That had nothing to do with the ref.

Five weeks ago, we had a perfectly good goal disallowed for LIverpool. Liverpool's response was a lengthy statement that called for more transparency and training for the officials. The press and public response was to laugh at the whinging scousers instead of realizing this was going to happen again. Arteta was one of those who dismissed the decisions against Liverpool. Yet now he's outraged.

Fair enough on Arteta's hypocrisy.

And tbh I do think that Arsenal have issues going forward, and I get that as an Arsenal supporter that you're understandably very concerned about that.

For me as a neutral to both teams, I was watching to see a fair game play out, which I feel didn't happen on Saturday, and I don't know if this makes you feel any better about the result, but was Newcastle any better than Arsenal during the match?
