UEFA: Anti-Arsenal Conspiracy

Well it's happened again. Another week, another let down in the Arsenal camp.

After a brilliant start and passing every expectation, The Gunners have slipped at the last hurdle. After slip ups against Birmingham, Aston Villa, Boro, and Liverpool, we've all but been eliminated from the title race.

And then on a cold Tuesday night, we were dumped right out of the UEFA Champions League by a tough Liverpool side.

This truly has been a season of ups and downs for the Arsenal. But in my heart of hearts, I think there's something sinister going on.

Is there some sort of conspiracy to stop Arsenal from succeeding?

Look at the decisions against us since Eduardo’s injury:

The free kick that never was v Birmingham
Our penalty denied v Birmingham
The penalty given for Birmingham
Agbonlahor offside in the lead up to Senderos’ OG
Adebayor given offside v Boro
Aliadiere offside for his goal
Drogba offside for the equaliser v Chelsea
Hleb's penalty denied
Cesc’s penalty denied
Liverpool given a penalty that never was

That is 10 decisions. 10. They say it swings on roundabouts, and you get some decisions for, you get some against, and they even themselves out.

How the hell is that going to even out?

All of those could have gone Arsenal's way easily, but all were denied. All have cost us 11 points in total, and being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League.

It’s sad to say this, but our season has been decided by referees. Yes there job is hard, but it is clear that the refs we have had are simply not good enough.

Refs are there to officiate matches, to ensure the rules of the game are followed, and not there to decide a teams’ season.  I am afraid this season that is what has happened.

Lets be honest, it has been a disgrace, even if we ignore the league decisions and just concentrate on the Champions League.

Ours was a stone wall penalty. Their decision was not a good one. If playing Liverpool and playing the Anfield crowd is not enough, we were also playing the referee.

With the amount of dodgy decisions given against us, it does make you wonder, do the FA, Premier League, UEFA, FIFA, NATO, and the KKK not want us to win the league?

Is it an upper level conspiracy to ensure we win stuff all?

Yes, our players could have performed better but, when you are at a crucial stage in the season, all you can ask for is a fair and just referee.

I am afraid over the last 10 or so games, we have not had that. If this had of happened in Italy, there would be questions about corruption.

If the decision were made in cricket, they would be talking about the match being fixed, and the umpires being got at by betting rings. It does make you wonder.

So, well done to the men in black, you have royally screwed our season.

I know I sound like a bitter Gooner just pissed off because my team has let this season slip. It's true, I am. We've slipped up. But when you look at it, the referee tripped us.
