Enough is surely enough...

When I look back on this season I can recall far too many decisions that just beggar belief, I am trying to accept that these things balance out over the course of the season, but I am afraid my patience has finally run out.

Don't get me wrong, last night we got what we deserved in my opinion, we were guilty of showing too much respect to Arsenal and showed a lack of belief in our own ability to take the game to Arsenal, who were at their most vulnerable this season.

However, as in the first half of the game at Anfield earlier this season when Gallas scythed Gerrard down in the penalty area when we were leading 1-0, and last night Fabregas's blatant hand ball from Gerrards free kick in the last minute of the match, how both incidents were not penalised is absolutely unbelievable.

In our previous match Felliani kicks the ball into Kuyts head in an agressive and reckless manner, and simply avoids punishment. Pienaar very nearly breaks Mascherano's leg with a blatant over the top tackle, and yet only gets a yellow card. The game as a result decends into a battle and Kyr recklessly tackles Felliani, who sees the tackle coming and manages to avoid the challenge but deliberately stamps onto Kyr's ankle. Kyr deservedly gets a red card for his challenge, but Felliani who equally deserves a red card but manages to completely escape punishment.

The list goes on and on, in a game against Fulham Carra makes a last ditch tackle on Bobby Zamora, he clearly wins the ball, but the referee sees it as a foul and sends Carra off, later in the game Degen gets sent off for a tackle that wasn't even a foul. The very same ref sends Masch off against Portsmouth for a tackle that was bad, but compared to Pienaars was a nothing challenge. Don't even go there with bloody beachballs either.

This season has been horrible in terms of our footballing performances, but I am also of the opinion that Referees have significantly contributed to our current position and I am really sick to the back teeth with it.

Especially when I see certain teams continually getting the benefit of the decisions and poor Referees continually having the wool pulled over their eyes by players feigning injury, and contact when they clearly have'nt even been touched.

I really am at the end of my tether with it all...
