I have a serious pet peeve with the amount of blame EPL coaches like to put on officiating for the reason behind their teams losing. Week in week out, we have managers looking at the video replay for marginal decisions and then shifting the blame onto the officials for unfavorable results.
Everyone watched Swansea put on the performance of their life yesterday, out-knocking Arsenal, dominating possession and looking better at them at their own brand. I don't think anyone can begrudge Swansea of a well deserved victory.
Yet Wenger is in the press conference complaining about a penalty awarded to Swansea for a foul on Dyer as the reason behind his team losing.
Now i could understand if this was a goal late in the second half, or if that goal radically changed the match or affected the course of the game. But Arsenal was already leading 1-0 and this was in the 20something minute of the first half. Ok so maybe it was a harsh decision, but at 1-1 with a whole match to play, how can this be an excuse for a big side like Arsenal losing 3-2 to a relative minnow like Swansea???
Better than that nuh Wenger, take yuh licks like ah man and be gracious in defeat. Don't blame the refs. Arsenal were totally outplayed by a side that showed much more heart. Steups.
