The FA are a joke, the media can ask what they like in post match press conferences but managers cannot respond how they truly feel. What’s the point of even having media duties if you only want managers to respond like robots and ignore any refereeing decisions.
I know every team has their grievance list, but Arsenal’s particular flavor is the “only ever seen it once”
- Xhaka red vs. Brighton? a few years back for a tactical foul to stop a counterattack
- Van Persie second yellow for kicking a ball away
- Martinelli double yellow from the same action
- This foul - 999 out of 1000 this is called a push (ok not only Arsenal, but extremely rare)
Arteta does not deserve to be fined. Period. I wish clubs chose to double down and back their managers and don’t let FA and PGMOL off so easy.
Engaging in such blatant refereeing misdemeanours and then shutting down all criticism in this manner smacks of tyranny and fascism.
“You can’t criticise me. Any criticism will be met with strict punishment.” This is some dictator shit.
