Just read the report on today's game and it says that Arsenal should have had a penalty - no mention of the 2 claims that Norwich had!! Where do they get these reporters???? Loved the WUM on Canary Call, saying, "Ruddy is Ruddy awful!!!" What a muppett!!!
BBC are just a bunch of dinosaurs. Sky actually give airtime to both teams when they have live coverage, although they do focus on top 6 they normally have fair pundits on who actually know what there talking about. The amount of errors I have seen on BBC reports is astonishing, pretty ridiculous and completely unprofessional. They wouldn't dare get Rooney mixed up with someone or mistype his name. On the punditry it's amazing how Lawrenson avoids naming Norwich players, probably because he can't. Lee Dixon is good though.
In fairness they briefly mention it later on, but it reads in favour of Arsenal. I appreciated Lawro's write up for the predictions. Out of 7 paragraphs (albeit brief ones) 4 were on Arsenal, 2 Stoke and 1 Norwich. Still its always the way
Doesn't matter one iota what they think. We all saw two stitched on penalties not given. How the one on Martin wasn't given when the ref stared straight at it was almost tantamount to cheating.
You mean like when GH got penalised for exactly the same offence against Swansea at the Liberty???? We seem to have had very few penalties given and after the first 3 or 4 games, haven't conceded many either.
I heard that Arsenal maybe should have had a penalty today. Maybe it didn't quite even itself out today but a lot of it is down to the bias of fans.
A penalty? They should have had two probably. From that point of view the decisions were even, but if Ramsey had been sent off when he should have, the game would have panned out differently - we would have won and Arsenal wouldn't have had those penalty shouts - and if ours had been given we may have been 4 - 1 up!
Even the Arsenal fans were saying on their match thread they were fortunate that we hadn't been awarded 2 penalties and that they hadn't had someone sent off.
Possibly - I would never go as far as to say we would have won, although the chances may have been higher had Ramsey been dismissed
