The ref gave them everything and booked ours for nothing. Usual stuff. He were a knob!
Not blaming him though. It was a cracking match which quite unbelievably we got spanked 4-1. The stats speak volumes as to how one sided it was. But you don't get points just for shots at goal.
As I said before, Benik Afobe is brilliant. His skill amazing and his diving world class. You can take the boy out of the Arsenal but you can't take the Arsenal out of the boy. He learnt some great stuff there but also some horrible cheating. Strangely the ref got it wrong on a couple of occasions in our favour. The tackle that sent him flying near the end could easily have been a red card and he waved play on. And the yellow he eventually got for diving wasn't a dive, unlike the three or four he got free kicks for.
Anyway, I thought it was encouraging that we kept going even though it became obvious early on that it wasn't going to be our night.
