Beaten at Newcastle this Saturday, Arsenal are going through a difficult period in the Premier League. The results are not good and on top of that bad luck gets involved. Some Gunners supporters see this as the negative influence of the authorities.
Will the fight for the title of champion of England come down to a Manchester City-Liverpool duel this season? This is on the way since the two clubs have distanced themselves from other competitors including Arsenal. 2nd last season and still candidates for the title at the start of the season, the Gunners are now 5 points behind the Citizens and 7 behind the Reds. The fault lies in a series of three games without a win including a setback this Saturday at Newcastle 1-0. Mikel Arteta's players disappointed their supporters but they especially have the authorities in their sights.
Arsenal victim of an arbitration conspiracy?
Indeed, on social networks and in discussions, refereeing is the cause of all evil for Arsenal. The Sun has listed all the episodes that fuel conspiracy theories among some Gunners fans. The rebellion started in Newcastle a year ago. On this day in November 2023, Arsenal lost 1-0 to the Magpies. Anthony Gordon scored from a Joelinton effort but the Brazilian appeared to have gone off the field with the ball. Distrust has increased this season after an accumulation of strange red cards.
Against Brighton, Declan Rice was sent off after receiving a kick from Joel Veltman. The referee preferred to warn him a second time for not having distanced himself from the free kick. Against Manchester City, Leandro Trossard received a severe red. Two weeks ago, William Saliba was sent off for a foul on a Bournemouth player going on goal. However, the next day, the same action was not judged as harshly during Liverpool-Chelsea. These decisions cost the Gunners several points, enough to make certain supporters say that the authorities want “ deprive at all costs » Arsenal of the title of champion of England. A mistrust which has no reason to be this Saturday since Arsenal suffered no harm at Newcastle, fully deserving their second defeat of the season.
