They had a goal wrongly ruled out as well so it evened itself out in the end

First off it wasn't even a foul to start with he was giving every 50-50 to them that's before we get to VAR. I've always thought there is nothing wrong with the technology it's those that use it is the problem they are incompetent plain and simple. I'm sure we will get a sorry from PGMOL but that will be it. There has to be consequences for errors as bad as this otherwise how do you ever expect to raise standards. It's not acceptable, this is the moment for Webb to show that it isn't a boy's club and sack the individual responsible. What makes it worse he's supposed to be doing this full time now and he's making that error simply not good enough. Best league in the world with the worst officials.

No they didn't. Mbuemo pulled Gabriel back, and it was pretty blatant. Plus the whistle went long before he put it in and Ramsdale had already stepped aside.

Whistle blew Well before the goal

We had a blatant handball completely ignored as well...this by the chief of VAR...

So how will they compensate for the 2 points we lost? No accountability on the cheating officials

By apologising.

Again.

And then facking us over again.

This.

Awful decision to give a free kick. I thought we weren’t giving cheap free kicks this year? Awful officiating this weekend.

It shouldn’t have been though. Reminds me of the Bellingham goal v city

When was grabbing an opponents shirt and pulling him back ever not a foul?

This.

Fouls for challenges have always been subjective some referees give them some don't. What is not subjective is the offside rule your either offside or not there is nothing in the middle.

Hard enough winning a league title. With VAR doing us over consistently it gets even harder. I've counted 6 points so far this season. That foul on Jesus at Southampton in the penalty box was just as bad as this one.

Yeah. Especially when it wasn’t a grab at all. Contact sport and all that

He clearly had a hold of his shirt ffs 😂😂😂

If you don’t win the title it’ll be largely due to your own performances.

You weren’t good enough yesterday and blaming VAR is a convenient excuse.

...something you can say because dodgy VAR decisions actually GAVE your lot points.

You, therefore, can't really be taken seriously here.

And cost us.

Except you don’t remember anything that benefits you or costs us, because you’re a child.

Arsenal scored a legitimate goal.
Brentford failed to score a legitimate goal.

Usually that is good enough to win a game, sadly Howard Webb has had to once again apologise for a error that has cost Arsenal.

And that has absolutely nothing to do with my point. Well done.

Your point was Arsenal were not good enough to win. If the VAR had done his job then we would have won. So we were good enough to win, but the officials were not good enough...

So your original point is bullcrap.

Nope.

There’s lots of variables in a game.

Nothing to say if that goal was disallowed that you’d have won.

Hope this helps.

The Premier league is hard place to win games, no team plays at the top of their ability every game. You get games like yesterday which are hard graft and you need to get through one way or the other, the one constant should be that as a team you have complete confidence in the officials to apply the rules 100% of the time. That obviously ain't happening.

Although VAR was useless. It was Arsenal's performance that cost them in the end. The only times I thought we might score were the actual goal and Martinelli 's shot. Otherwise it was a struggle against an excellent Brentford side who may be more disappointed at not winning the game with the chances they created

That’ll never be the case and it never has been.

The best teams win games anyway.

If you don’t win the league it’s because you’re not good enough.
