Why is Ruben Dias not Red Carded ???

Its all because the refs and VAR are a bunch of corrupt kunts.

I would love for a manager to come out and say the same thing.

As for Aston Villa , Arsenal shouldn't even be playing them as they should have gone down instead of Bournemouth last season. Corruption denies Sheff Utd a perfectly good goal against them

Yeah but if we'd have gone down we couldn't have taken 6 points off you easily this season which we really enjoyed!🤣😉

We kept Villa up in order to relegate Watford.

Does Dias have a reputation for committing multiple infringements like this repeatedly every season? David Luiz didn't get and given his reputation for this, shouldn't have been given the benefit of the doubt. He just does it too often.

----------
I personally don't think it's a Luiz issue, to me it looks like an Arsenal agenda. It just seems acceptable to send off an Arsenal player with ease as the refs know nothing will come of it.

Think of it this way Luiz when at Chelsea wasn't sent off once for them as far as i can remember and was hardly ever booked.

Why is that? he's the same players, does the same fouls ect but it's just easy to give Arsenal players bookings.

Look at the Gabriel sending off against Southampton. his first yellow was for stopping a quick FK. This literally happens every week and no bookings are dished out yet Gabriel was book and then his next foul was another yellow.

Seems to be happening every time. Our players get booked for fouls whereas other players do the same and get nothing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There is definitely an agenda. When watching us, often I see us fouled 3 or 4 times in the first 15 mins and no cards given. Then the first hard tackle we make...yellow card. I'd like to see the stats around fouls per card ratio.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Saw this stat

‘Arsenal are now top of the league in terms of red cards and 8th in yellows.

They are 20th in terms of fouls per game.

By comparison Tottenham are 4th in fouls per game and 17th in cards awarded.’

Could show refs are quick to book our players. Suppose you’d have to look at the severity of our challenges to be sure. Think we got that reputation under Wenger of being a soft team, and to beat us teams had to kick us off the park. Fouling then Always seemed acceptable against us, and when we complained it was made out, particularly in the media, that we were soft and couldn’t handle the physical side of the game. Maybe that’s still hanging around and refs think we make most of our challenges

Think perception of teams/players reputation definitely has an impact on decisions. Doubt there’s any grand conspiracy, it’s just an unconscious bias that has an influence. It’s not just us, you see other teams and players not get decisions based on reputation and perception

Some really missing the point.

David Luiz is a fvckin donkey, has always been a donkey and always will be a Donkey.

Just remember his performance against Germany on his own turf. Fvckin Donkey

I totally get that it is not a conspiracy but it is a massive widespread bias that is affecting us. I often watch players against us commit foul after foul and not get booked. And if they do, they are free to commit a further 3 or 4 more and there is no second yellow. However...look at us. Gabriel is the most recent example of getting a yellow for a soft reason (stopping a free kick) which by the way happens in most games with no consequences. And then a few minutes later, gets a second yellow for his first tackle after the first yellow. Then us vs Villa...you had Saka subjected to a yellow card worthy foul by a player on a yellow and nothing. You had wan bissaka and Maguire commit multiple yellow card worthy fouls and yet nothing.

So flipping annoying. We are a poor team at the moment and biased refereeing decisions make a massive difference. VAR never works for us. I was shocked when ESR had his red card changed to a yellow...and that was after the ref immediately without any hesitation produced a red. Refs look eager to send our players off but I can't remember the last time we played against 10 men

Bias against Arsenal has been happening for many many years. I'm glad now more are seeing it. It's so bad at times it's made me almost give up watching football

Makes me wonder how different last decade would have been with fair decisions. A league title top four and trophies I expect

The officials are all W@nkers
