Oi ref you are awful and Wenger you talk rubbish

4 games without a goal in the premier league is a cause for concern. However we played very well today, we battled Arsenal all the way and whilst they hit the wood work twice I believe we had the clearest chances and in reality the lack of a top class forward is costing us as instead of 2 points from the last four with a class forward maybe we could have got 7 or more and that is the difference.

However today’s big talking point is the ref’s (Lee Probert) performance. He was awful, not just bad but so many calls he got wrong and one in particular a Clichy tackle on Ash Young which was a clear booking, which he never gave and 5 minutes later he should have been off for a second yellow on Downing. Not only that he seemed to miss a clear handball in the Arsenal penalty box which looked a clear penalty and then a number of decisions he gave all to Arsenal. Though just watching MOTD you will not see many of them but how could he not give that foul on Richard Dunne at the end that is just bottling it !

However his performance can not detract away from the lack of killer touch we have up front, it definitely cost us the win today and whilst I expect no moves in the winter if this is not resolved in the summer we will not get the progress into the ‘sky 4′ that we deserve to get.

So Martin the priority for the summer is clear, I expect no signings this winter but all efforts simply have to be concentrated on getting that one player !

Finally Arsene ‘Whinger’ called us a long ball team today and MON quite rightly is angry about that. No way today did we play long ball, in fact at times we played some great football on the floor, we had 50/50 possession at Villa Park and as usual Arsene is whingeing just because he never won, such a sore loser. Finally maybe Wenger should ask why ‘men’ go down so easily over simple tackles and whinge like bitches ?
