Chelsea were commiting a foul per minute and somehow ended up with only four bookings compared to five for Arsenal.

That tells you everything about this utter cretin of a referee.

This and the fact we're going through another injury spree will be overlooked by a mindless media feeding the crisis angle and fuckwit fans who had already set their agenda.

The most important thing is though, despite the limitations and difficulties he's been sledgehammered with in his first week in the job, Arteta has made an instant improvement to so many aspects of our play. And that gives hope despite the results being altered by the ref.

If he can do so much with this shit, it bodes well for what will happen when he's able to mould his squad properly.
