"Arsenal..."

Here's a theory the refs must have.

No matter how good Arsenal are, if they don't seem to be winning, just give 'em a little helping hand; or sending off, which was the case.

Truly despicable. Even by your standards.

nothing to do with us only in the eyes of our rivals.... DB did nothing it was the ref's decision we get plenty of bad decisions.

Plenty of bad decisions? I'm afraid to say that you didn't. And none were as contreversial as getting someone sent off, conceding a goal, etc.

We didn't get Robert sent off. DB wanted to take the free kick he didn't go to the ref to get him sent off.

That's what I'm saying. Of course Bergkamp didn't get him sent off (but he DID take advantage of Robert staying close to him), I'm talking about the refs helping you if you can't beat someone yourselves.

Technically, Robert was too close to Bergkamp when the free-kick was taken. BUT, in reality, Robert couldn't have got out the way fast enough for the time it took Bergkamp to take the kick.

Maybe DB saw a oppurtunity to get a player in on goal.... i blame the ref not using common sense.

So do I. And that's the message in my original post.

Thanks for the compromise i wonder why newcastle fans seem to think otherwise.

Well, let's not stray from the subject (again points to his original message). Newcastle were robbed of a potential win.

I'll admit that Arsenal are hard enough to beat as it is, but this makes it near impossible for a team when decisions like that go against them.

Maybe but i think we should of won.... pires should of scored, but we have lost games where referees have been donkeys.
