Have you watched every City game front to back? Isn't it simply true that most of the ones that go against them won't end up costing them because of the sheer quality they have and their ability to steam roller teams? It's quite a pedantic task to highlight on a regular basis decisions against a team who often batter their opponents and thus many of those instances won't even get shown. MOTD and other such shows can only be so long and the minutiae only so deep.Originally Posted by JonasTC
City have way more decisions for them, than against them this season, you cant deny that (and im not saying its corrupt refs, just super incompetent)
Wenger has done enough in his control to see us in 1st place, but a 3rd party he cant control, has slowly taken that away ever since the beginning of this season. So i cant follow the whole "Wenger out" train, because if it hadnt been for dodgy decisions, we would have been 1st.
If not for dodgy decisions: Arsenal 1st place, everyone loves Wenger.
A couple of dodgy decisions: Arsenal 4th place, everyone hates Wenger.
It just doesnt make sense to me
I would have some sympathy for a statement which cited ref decisions as a factor in the reason we are not top now, somewhere in it......but to just plainly say we are 3rd because of ref decisions is some stretch Jonas.
That is pretty much bias in its purest form.
The Wenger in or out debate needn't be brought into the above debate either, particularly as many people wanted him out before the season even started. Not that I am one of them.....and neither am I now, but let's not make out as if the Wenger out parade has suddenly come to town or formed over night.....even if many its members rear their head on the back of a bad result.
Some of the issues are such that you may still argue they were issues even if we were top. For example, even if we were top of the league right now, I'd still stand by my argument that we need better CF options and that we should have already done much more to address that by now.
