The fact that the FA chose to justify their action against Arteta on the grounds of "He has a higher profile than other managers" (I.e. we are going to treat him differently because he manages Arsenal) is really quite shocking. Then they follow this up with booking him for waving in the next match.

That both of our loses have been massively influenced by questionable refereeing decisions only adds the the sense that this is by design.

I've spent far too much time dreading not only what bullshit call will go against us next, but how the rest of the football community will bend over backwards to justify it.

Try to justify*, they failed, and rightfully so.
