This Wenger charge for calling into question the integrity of the referees

It can also work the other way, where a ref who is thought to be biased in favour of a certain club will overcompensate by showing a slight bias against them in his decisions.

I also think this 'over-compensation' mentality can come into play in other situations too. For example, I reckon Anthony Taylor may have given Chelsea their pelanty because he feared if he didn't it would look like he'd been scared off by Wenger's comments after the West Brom game.

I was a bit annoyed with Arsene wasting nearly a minute of added time arguing with Dean when we could have been trying to get the winner. Dean blew up exactly on 4 mins.

Despite having booked Courtois for time wasting - hideous little cheating ****.

Told you so, didn't I. Money has ruined the game. No-one cares what's right anymore, so long as they get paid enough.

The decision to lawfully financially reward officials was probably one of the worst ever.
