Yes, I think they (officials) should maybe query the linesman...or get him a sponsorship deal with specssavers

Giroud did look to the ref Mark. tbh the ref was poor all game, and im not just saying that. Norwich should have had a couple of yellows.

Norwich's free kick wasn't one either...

Well, if it is Millwall fans doing all the trouble (and I suspect it is), they should ban them for life

they never learn. always fighting over banter. this is where health and safety need to show up in force!

Disgusting. Manager Kenny Jackets post match interview was pathetic. Said he didn't see it and couldn't comment on it until he did. Poor.

You should've said that quieter, adebayour miss heard you and got the ball into the air all right, there's a vicious rumour that Kim wrong thought it was a preemptive strike when it landed in N Korea

Yes ban millwall full stop, from everything forever.

From what l can tell Both Arsenal and Norwich players were pulling at each other shirts, so where was the penalty.

Strange thing is Clattenburg was the same referee who done the Spurs game, when they scored against United and neither the linesman or Clattenburg saw the ball go over the line TWO FEET, and the keeper throw the ball out and said it was a goal kick.

If anything the officials are a disgrace, its not a question of who saw what, but this is where you need someone closely watching a TV screen and then saying what is what.

Officials are a disgrace.

[thenry]

wasnt you an ex official?

seriously the peno was where Giroud got brought down allowing Norwich to clear the ball

[MalteseFalcon]

Arsenal game should have been at most a 1 all draw. That was never a corner in the first place, Giroud was pulling the Norwich player as well, which the referee had a clear view of, so he let it go. Linesman from 50 yards cannot see clearly, so why the chuff he flagged for a penalty is beyond me. Total disgrace, and I hope he is dropped now as he clearly cannot be trusted to be impartial.

Second goal was fine, no complaints about that one. Third goal, Giroud elbowed a Norwich player, and the one who crossed the ball was offside clearly. Yet again Richard West lets it slide. I am disgusted with that game, and I feel Wenger needs to watch the game and amend his statement. Arsenal deserved nothing more than a point, and it's about time he cleared off from the Premier League.

If this game puts Norwich down, I would be very aggreived and would make a strong complaint about the behaviour of Richard West.

What about Norwich's goal from the free kick that wasn't? Also Giroud is hardly fouling the Norwich player either he is trying to push him away. The linesman isn't going to be dropped as he got the decision correct. The ref on the other hand.

Also there was the push on Walcott that could easily have been a pen too.

1 all draw. are you crazy. did you not just watch the highlights. Arsenal won that game even if those goals were not legit. fact is there were other opportunities, fouls not called up on therefore you cant really fault a win. id somewhat understand if Norwich got robbed left right and center but they wasn't. it was Arsenal but the bent decisions made up for it.

[MalteseFalcon]

Sorry, stand by my view it should have been a 1 all draw. After today, I no longer have confidence in the Premier League so will not bother watching or following it. League 1 here I come. And the way the team is playing, probably League 2 here I come next season.
