That pretty much sums up my thoughts. About an hour ago I called my mate up to talk about that refereeing performance. He had the match recorded but heard the score and thought it was just another Arsenal capitulation, which was surprising given he is quite the Wengerite.

He was pretty surprised to hear my take on things because no matter how much I'll always appreciate what Wenger has done in the past, I am to put it mildly, not a Wengerite today.

I put my mate straight about what happened today, but at the end of the call, instead of feeling better having got it off my chest, I feel fucking sick.

And over the next few days it will get worse. Because the fucking frauds that run the game are going to come after us again, no doubt for bringing the game into disrepute. Can you imagine that? The crooks that corrupt our game will have the gall to do that rather than deal with the real cancel infecting this sport.
