ARSENAL 2 - 1 EVERTON: MOYES AND MASON ARE SITTING IN A TREE - F.U.C.K.I.N.G.

A quick recap of yesterday's match.

Ok, so yesterday we played Everton at the Emirates and we won. It was a great match and three very important points in the bag, especially since everyone flat-out refuses to beat Man Utd.

However instead of the thorough statistical analysis of the match (ha-ha), I want to talk about several things which I found to be utterly irritating during yesterdays game - Lee Mason, Stephen Child and David Moyes.

Let's start with the disastrous officiating.

For the opening goal, Seamus Coleman played a pass to Louis Saha, Koscielny attempted an overhead kick to clear the ball - slightly touching it, before Saha smashed it past Szczesny. Oh, I almost forgot, Saha was at least a yard offside.

The entire stadium, the managers, the players and all the TV viewers - SAW IT.  Absolutely everyone - except the person who's actually hired to do it. It was an unbelievably bad decision from Stephen Child to allow it. Yes, Koscielny got a touch but Saha was already offside when Coleman's pass was played.  

The stadium was roaring and when Mason went over to the linesman for a chat/explanation, I was quietly hoping, he was trying to avoid the colossal fuck up. But I came to my senses as soon he pointed to the center-circle, several seconds later. FUCK. FUCKITY. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.

Had Everton managed to hold on to that goal, it would've signaled the end for out title aspirations and a looming shitstorm for Lee Mason. One shit refereeing decision almost wrecked our season - the severity of that sentence scares me to no end.

There should be repercussions for Mason and Child, like in any other profession. If you cannot adequately do your job, usually you're not allowed to continue.

If you're getting a blood transfusion and the doctor in charge accidentally infects you with AIDS, you wouldn't dismiss it as just a "human error", forget about it and move on, would you? The answer is "FUCK NO!" That fucker ruined your life and the least you would do is make sure he's never allowed to step foot in a hospital.

Well,  then you would agree the situation with Lee Mason and his minion is no different. Their monstrous cock up yesterday, almost infected our title challenge with AIDS, we were 20 minutes away from conceding the league to Man Utd - there and then.

But will the FA actually act on it, demote them, discipline them? Of course not. They keep preaching that referees must be respected but the truth is, more often than not - they don't deserve any fucking respect.

We keep seeing referees make the kind of "blunders" which we thought weren't possible for professionals to make, yet the people in charge of the so-called "best league in he world" have no hesitation in employing them. I think the fact that Howard Webb is supposed to be the best referee in England tells its own story.

 ARRRGGHHH!1111!!!!!!!!!1

Thankfully the feeling of injustice was the fuel for the great second half where we managed to turn the game on its head. Hand on heart - I didn't think we could do it.

I thought it was going to be one of those days - a terrible decision would cost us the game. Then Arsene would say something in his post-match interview about the officials which the FA would fine him for and then Sky Sports and all the back pages would discuss it for awhile before deciding that Lee Mason is just a human and we, apparently, all make mistakes. Case closed.

BUT Arsenal had other ideas in mind. First, Cesc's pass found Arshavin (who had come on as a sub eight minutes earlier) in the box and through slight deflection via Rodwell's head he comfortably beat Howard, to net his first goal since the draw at Wigan.

Then, six minutes later came the winner. Van Persie's corner found Koscielny's head before finding the back of the net.

I could feel the vibrations (feel it, feel it) of the Emirates through my TV. The celebrations were glorious.

There was about 15 minutes of normal time and FIVE minutes of injury time left to play but we managed to hang on.

At the final whistle I felt so exhausted, even though I barely moved throughout the match.

What a fantastic comeback, absolutely NOTHING could spoil it...oh wait, what's that?

Everton boss David Moyes:  

"The comments which Cesc Fabregas made to the fourth official and referee at half time deserved a sending off. He's a big player for them. I think it changed the flow of the game. I'm not going to repeat what he said, I'll let them tell you what he said."

Um...what?

Whatever those comments were, they were 100% deserved. IF, in fact, they were actually made.

At first, I thought maybe Moyes, is simply trying to stir some shit in order to divert attention from the fact that his team is now only three points off the relegation zone. But then it dawned on me - he's a GINGER. HA! This illogical attention seeking is an attempt to overcompensate for the fact that he will never be loved!

Seriously though, Everton had four shots on target, one of which resulted in an unjust goal that should have never been allowed to stand. Moyes, of all people, really has nothing to complain about here.

I've always liked Everton but THIS is simply pathetic. If you want us to believe your bullshit story David Moyes, then I only have one thing to say to you:

TITS OR GTFO!!!

Uh...actually...umm...that came out wrong.

PICS OR GTFO. Yes, pics. NOT tits.

The last thing I want do is look at David Moyes' tits.

Definitely.

UPDATE: David Moyes has denied the claims which suggest he could be lying. CLICK HERE to watch his interview (It's worth watching, believe me).

ALEX MCLEISH IS GINGER, WON'T EVER BE LOVED.

This is what Alex McLeish the Birmingham City manager said about Jack Wilshere's tackle on Zigic on Saturday:

It’s a bad tackle. If he doesn't get a red card for that then I think we might as well pack our bags and go home.

This is what he said after our 2-2 draw at Birmingham, in an interview to BBC about Martin Taylor's tackle on Eduardo. He said:

The fact that (some commentators were surprised at the red card) tells the story itself - it was seen as just another normal tackle in a game of football where there is contact.

So, just that we're clear on the concept...

BAD TACKLE:

JUST ANOTHER NORMAL TACKLE IN A GAME OF FOOTBALL:

Can you spot the difference? Now, I don't mean to brag but ankles aren't supposed to bend that way.

Naturally McLeaish had some things to say after our win on Saturday. Here's a couple of quotes (with translation) worth reading:

"The tackle by Nasri is a sending-off,"

Or maybe it isn't

"He’s kneed the guy in the back. Is that not violent conduct? Anyway, they gave him a yellow card."

Says a person who thought Taylor's tackle on Eduardo didn't even warrant a red card.

"I don’t mean to be a whinger..."

That's unfortunate because you sound like a whiny, little bitch.

"...but we’ve had a lot of decisions go against us over the last wee while."

Boo fucking hoo, maybe you should spend less time badmouthing other teams then. Just a thought.

"One of our players is going to have to get hit with a baseball bat to get a penalty, that’s for sure."

Hmm...dunno, wanna try it?

"Eboue had the scissor challenge on Ridgewell. We know the damage it can do."

Yes. Yes we do know, Alex. The person who thought Taylor's tackle on Eduardo WASN'T deserving of a red card.

"Did you see Murphy get punched in the face in the last minute?"

Did you see Chamakh get elbowed in the head?

"We took him off with a cut eye. He’s got stitches. Let’s investigate."

Let's. Just let me get my monocle and a top hat and we'll be on our way.

"Jack Wilshere’s was a deserved red. He’s not a dirty player but even the best can mistime tackles. Zigic is lucky. He could have had his leg shattered like Eduardo."

But he didn't have his leg shattered like Eduardo. He got up and got on with the match...unlike Eduardo who needed an oxygen mask because he had a bone sticking out of his sock.

"Martin Taylor still gets vilified for that."

For practically ending a fellow professional's career? Oh no, poor Martin Taylor. I hope he gets through that.

"People are still going to interview Eduardo about that tackle."

Well, that's not right! Can you believe it? They're going to interview him about THAT tackle:

 
"It’s scandalous."

It is, indeed.

"Will people be interviewing Jack Wilshere in a year about his tackle?"

Probably not.

They will be interviewing Eduardo about THAT one, though.
