Costa gets banned which basically translates that he should have been given a red......Gabriel's red gets thrown out which would have meant he stayed on the pitch, 11 of us against 10 of them leads to a whole can of maybes, mights, should haves.......end of day Chavs bagged three us zero and Maureen and her happy bunch of pricks walk away smiling
Exactly. Costa's brainy as fuck. Never gets caught during the game, always gets a retrospective ban after when the damage is done. Scratch someone on the back of the neck, it's not an obvious foul. A push or a slap in the face is. We need cleverer players or players that don't take pride in being saints. Our best players are Kos, Ramsey, Sanchez. And they're all are idiots - they never know when to go down, when to have a sly kick, when to wind opposition players up. Cazorla is fucking useless under any criteria. Fabregas was superb at it. Wilshere can do it (ask Gary Neville) but he's always injured.
Moan about the ref all we like, nothing will change. Realising what you can get away with is a new art of this pathetic sport. If players want the best career possible in the sport, being educated by Wenger is not what they needed. Sanchez was a fool for joining us - he could've had a top career. Ozil's more talented but a bigger pussy so Wenger suits him fine.
Only thing is that the four officials all saw Gabbys kick out but were poking the other (cough cough bullshit) when Costa was teaching Kos how to samba
A kick out is visible. Vieira and Beckham have been sent off for intent and no contact. Surprised the ban was overturned but our incessant whinging probably helped. No-one has been sent off for scratching someone on the back of the neck. If you ask people what would make you wanna punch someone more, a scratch on the back of the neck or a kick out at your shin...
Clever. Cunty. But clever.
Pretty much. Justice has been served (surprisingly) after the event, but frankly I found our whingeing embarassing. I would far rather we handled ourselves with some bollocks and guile on the pitch rather than bleat when the result has long since passed us by.
A major problem, I think, is that whether or not Wenger has a point when he laments refereeing decisions (as happens almost every time we drop points these days) - there is a cruel ring of truth to what that twat Maureen said after the match. It can seem as though its anyone's fault but Wenger's team's - and I honestly think that this attitude transmits itself to his players. I wish individuals in our team would hold themselves to account, not just for a tepid performance, but for naivity and lack of fight. Adams would have had Gabriel up against the wall of the changing room for getting sent off - whether or not the ref was incompetent.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Mourinho: "Now we know that retaliation is allowed. No problem, you can do it."

I'd ordinarily agree with this viewpoint. But the refereeing in this case led to a two player swing which fundamentally influenced the result in this case with little opportunity for us, particularly when down to nine men to have any influence over the result.
This genuinely was a case of 2 nil to the referee..
