Why are Arsenal so s***?

An inexperienced manager that has been given free reign to a club needing one of the biggest rebuilds in the last 30 years. Inexperienced senior executive team. Passive ownership. Bad recruitment. Unbalanced squad with questionable quality (not helped with the manager's chopping and changing).

We're the worst run club in Europe.

VAR is at it again - Balbeuna sent off for completing his follow through when clearing the ball - that decision would never be given at any other level of the game.

Nobody seems to think that's a red, apart from the match officials. There's a clear disconnect there.
What's he supposed to do with his leg after he's kicked the ball? Should players just try to position themselves beneath other players' kicks?

I didn't see the game but watched the highlights after the comments here. Oh my goodness that is an awful decision. I assume to avoid red cards in future players will either have to stop trying to clear the ball at all, or be able to compute the metrics of the velocity of every limb of every player on the pitch at the time the ball is kicked, in order to project that forward in order to determine where the kicking leg and any part of any opposition player might be at the time the follow through happens. It is obviously not reasonable to expect that, and occasionally an opposition player might end up connecting with the follow through .... but.... that's physics. Which leads me to my final suggestion, which is just as likely to happen as this decision is to be right, which is to abandon physics and immediately stop all motion when kicking the ball. Hence no follow through and no danger to the opposition. QED.
 
Well done Hammers! Just as you wanted a win and us a 1-1 draw,you give 'em a goal....and the scorer didn't even know it had hit him.......
 
Another ridiculous day for VAR, but the Scammers red card was not as bad a decision as the Newcastle disallowed goal for a farcical hand ball at Klanfield.

In fairness to VAR and the match officials, the toon goal was ruled out cos of a stupid and badly designed handball rule. It hit his arm so it's handball no matter what (under the rules).
