Gonna bet Gary O’Neill gets no charges whatsoever after yesterday’s comments. Not saying he’s wrong whatsoever - in fact he’s completely right and fair play to him for saying it.
But if you can’t charge De Zerbi for saying he hates 80% of all English refs while charging Arteta for saying the exact same as O’Neill more-or-less, what hope does the FA have.
Seen some people think Mikel might get a touchline ban from the FA for his comments - which if he does - is ridiculous. I don’t think he will but if he does, that could very well be the last straw for the Arsenal fanbase in regards to PGMOL and the FA
Or Poch full on charging at the referees. I think that’s the worst behaviour out of everyone. How he escaped with no charges is ridiculous.
Tbh Gary’s comments (or the post match interview) didnt really seem that bad. He wasnt outright calling something a “disgrace” or “embarassed”.
he should have. the fact that he felt he had to be apologetic is itself a disgrace
The difference is really that the decision that Arteta is complaining about was deemed correct by them and the media. Whether that was the case or not is a different question. They’ve admitted their mistakes against Wolves and Brighton. And theyve done so knowing the backlash wont be as bad.
Gary O’Neil can say whatever he wants. They’ve been fucked over for 5 straight games and yet because they’re not a big club media don’t talk about it much and the refs just admit their mistakes and move on because no one cares about Wolves. If any top club experienced what Wolves have in the last five games thats all fans and media would be taking about constantly. In the league not one club has been fucked over as much as Brighton have and by quite a distance. Wolves are probably the first club that’s had it happen five games in a row.
