By the way, on a completely objective note, this title race is as exciting as fuck. United started poorly, City and Chelsea faltered after it looked like they'd get going and I guess it was our turn to fuck up today. Liverpool still look dangerous as well, although they have bigger tests to come. Spurs should get better as the season goes on. Also, Southampton and Everton are looking to be big spanners in the works.

This also makes me nervous as I feel this is our best chance of winning the league for years as City, United and Chelsea will all have gotten their shit together by 2014/15.

Does anyone have a video of the penalty shout? Didn't see a replay before and MOTD has decided not to show it.

Why the fuck was Wenger moaning about refereeing decisions?

He said the referee got some major decisions wrong, didn't he?

He's right, in fairness. How we didn't get a penalty, Jones got booked, they got a corner for no reason and Giroud got away with about 30,000 fouls without being booked I don't know.

Yeah, because Ferguson was famous for never criticizing referees and Moyes never does it either. Pretty much all Premier League managers do it.

But what was he criticising him for? What major decisions didn't Arsenal get?

He's talking out his arse, but - shock horror - pretty much every Premier League manager does it, so why complain like this is a rare occurence?

Sir Alex would slag off referees if United lost regardless of whether the decision is right. You're a hypocrite if you criticize Wenger for doing the exact same thing as your previous manager, you current manager and pretty much every manager in the league.

Of course its normal to criticise a referee when you think he got a decision wrong, even if he got it right.

But in this case nobody knows what decision Wenger is talking about. There was literally no major decision the referee had to make (except the penalty, which went Asenal's way).

Can you link me the quotes? I've not even seen them.

Whatever he's said, he's probably just deflecting criticism from his side. All managers do it, even if it seems absurd.

Yeah, I'm probably a tad touchy - just annoys me a bit when fans try and take the moral high ground when they really shouldn't.

Could easily have been given. Giroud got lucky.

It's a football forum so obviously that is why people are discussing it. Where is the activity and discussion in grouping them all together and saying "It's shit" when each one can be discussed and L'Arse fans trolled?

Its proved absolutely nothing, other than you clearly need to act your age a little more. I hardly, if ever get involved in any of the Arsenal remarks on here unless its between myself and other Arsenal fans.

Instead of poking fun and having a little laugh I should act more like YOU who goes around with crass language and cursing out kids? Pull the other one you sad bastard.

Nah. More the way he flips out on the younger members for daring to argue back at him in the OT section.

Hmmm, not so sure. It doesn't make a lot of sense from Fulham's POV to appoint a manger when they've already got one. Why not just sack Jol and have done with it? rather than delaying the inevitable and slipping further towards relegation.

Fulham don't have a manager. Jol is a Head Coach as is Rene
