| EPL rant Don't know how much support I will get here being the only Gooner on the board, but the refs in the EPL are really pi#@ing me off!
We've dropped a lot of points in the last 4 or 5 games that shouldn't have happened.
Firstly there was the so-called penalty against Birmingham where Clichy caught so much of the ball first it wasn't funny. Very dodgy penalty at best. Result = 2 dropped points.
Then we cop Aliadiere's offside against us to go a goal down, when Adebayor scored not 15 minutes before hand and was wrongly ruled offside. Then Eboue gets shoved over in the penalty area with no call. Instead of being 2-0 up at the half we're in fact 1-0 down. In the end we have to rely on Toure heading home with 6 minutes to go for a draw. Result = 2 dropped points.
Then the final insult. Didier Drogba scores an 'equalising' goal from offside for Chelsea. Both he and the other Chelsea player were offside when the ball was played in. So if Drogba doesn't score that goal there is no guarantee of a second goal and Arsenal may well have won that match with the 1-0 scoreline. Result = I'll be conservative and say 1 dropped point and now loss of 2nd place on the table.
Tie that in with the crappy pitch at the JJB stadium (my high school of 250 kids had a better pitch than that)playing Wigan for a 0-0 draw and it's fair to say in my opinion that Arsenal should still be at least level with Manchester Spewnited or maybe a point or two ahead.
My final words: Refs, pull you're heads out of your asses and stop giving the title to the team with the biggest bankroll.
Rant over!
