To be fair, Arsenal do not get beaten too often during most seasons, and last night’s loss to Everton was only our second defeat in the League in this campaign. After the game Wenger complained about the referee being wrong when he awarded the game-winning corner to Everton at the end of the match, and there was also some mutterings about Mark Clattenburg letting the Toffees get away with lots of aggressive play as well.
Wenger announced his ‘disappointment’ with the ref after the game. He said: “Of course, it was no corner. You can see it was no corner. The referee made his decision and that does not explain why we did not head the ball,”
“But I am really disappointed in Mr Clattenburg. He is in a really good position to see it and it is not the first time we are really unlucky with his decisions.”
So I wonder if Wenger thinks that the referee is always out to get Arsenal? Especially when we play teams that are managed by Koeman lol. This is what the Dutchman had to say in retaliation: “I am not surprised about Wenger and his comments, because it is the third time in a row that I won as a manager at home against Arsenal and three times in a row it was about the referee.
“Okay, sorry Arsenal we won through the referee of tonight. Sorry!”
So what do you think? Are Arsenal always the victim of bad refereeing? Or does Arsenal just like to blame anyone but his players?
