I'm not blaming him for the defeat today, but it is spooky that we always have embarrassing results with him as referee. He obviously dislikes us, but even so, we shouldn't put him in a position to make calls against us. I was just wondering if his prescence affects the mindsets of our players, if they see him and assume we're going to lose? And why haven't we contacted the FA or referees Association to tell them we think he may be biased against us?
Are you Wenger's son or something? Last week it was those nasty men at Sunderland, this week it's the referee's fault. What a set of whingers!
The very first line says i'm not blaming him for the defeat. I'm guessing the education system in the north east isn't up to scratch?
He's one of Wenger's biggest critics and he didn't blame the ref. And yes S'land were worse than Stoke last week
Why don't the club complain to the F.A. / Premier League about other teams (all of them). I mean they try to stop you scoring and then try to score themselves. Something needs to be done.

Did you read your last line? Education in the north-east teaches us to read the whole statement and to analyse the total content. Your excuse?
Well you know my position, but there really isn't any point in complaining. There is enough circumstantial evidence to indicate bias, but the FA can't admit it or they open a can of worms that will consume them. I just don't know what the answer is. I just suspend my criticism of the team for a Mike Dean game. I think I can see how he does it, but I'll admit he is clever with it, and I couldn't prove it. He just doesn't call anything slight against the other team. Knowing that as long as you don't shove or kick too hard, but can make a stab at the ball and miss, without being called, is one hell of an advantage in and around your box. It wouldn't be quite so bad, but he doesn't do the same for us so they get to do it on offence as well. Any small touch is going to be called a foul. The real problem is that any one call isn't debateable, he operates within the tolerance allowed of any referee, but when taken over the hundred or so calls (and non-calls) in a game, it makes a massive difference if one team is always given the benefit of the doubt.
Come on now, in the past he has had individual debatable calls, this game wasn't one of them. We were just ****.
