    Also, how the fuck can he book Pepe for being slow to leave the pitch (when he wasn’t even substituted) but the game couldn’t restart as a player was injured & receiving treatment?
    we get inconsistency with yellow cards all the time - there's an unwritten rule that they have to be given against Arsenal as much as possible

    in particular the Pepe thing was a total joke and the club should appeal it

    1 Arsenal foul = 10 non-Arsenal fouls. That's how it goes.

    I also think of the red cards Xhaka and Luiz have had in the past for 'deliberate' fouls, but don't think I have ever seen another team punished for this. Likewise with the foul throws, seems to be only us getting pulled up on it.

    i doubt that is really the case. it would be interesting to see a study over ten years to see on average fouls to yellow card ratios.

    it is probably just we notice the things that happen to and against arsenal rather than other teams.

    very result yesterday, finally we conceded first and won... that makes a pleasant change. ESR plays and we win. even pepe didn't look a chump. we do have a core of good young and actually domestic players we can build a team around. Leno, Tierney, Holding, Saka, ESR, Martinelli... players who could with us for 10 years. Still not convinced by Arteta but at least after being forced to pick the youngsters he is continuing to play the youngsters.

    no, the fact is we have one of the worst disclinary records of any club in the PL, yet we are in no way a 'dirty' team, especially compared with the likes of spuds, burnley, brighton etc who get off far more lightly with refs

    we get punished for EVERYTHING, other teams don't

    I don’t know if anyone’s put together a more current table, but this was from a couple of seasons ago...

    exactly and of course now it's happened for a few seasons, no doubt refs think - "ok, they're bad on discipline, i need to come down hard on any fouls to keep them under control" - so it's a self-perpetuating situation
