Wouldn’t be surprised if Arteta was asking why he blew up on 97 on the dot when a Chelsea player was down injured for about 90 seconds during injury time itself, which should have also been added on.
Or why added time is only a thing in the second half? Jesus was down for a while after being butchered by Palmer as one of a few injuries.
Not to mention (basically) every second between the ball hitting Saliva’s arm and is kicking off (I imagine four minutes or so later) should be added. We got two which he blew up on the dot while we were attacking.
I thought the same about the penalty. Everything from the handball until play eventually stopped is nullified, so that time should’ve been added back on top of the time for the review and the penalty itself.
It’s the first time since they implemented the new injury time rules that it felt like a ref had dared to go back to the old ways of just calling time whenever they pleased.
We need clock stopping. This experiment is bad for players’ health and not being handled consistently.
Arteta probably asked the refsomething but ref on his power trip decided to book arsenal representatives.
And yet you have people who rated him more than a 1 in the post match ratings.
I’ve been discussing the referee with fellow Gooners who were saying that the ref had an ‘ok game’ 🤦

I actually couldn’t believe it when he blew the whistle. Like were we even watching the same game ref??
