Buy better referee's!

This is going to be a blog post about Arsenal! After all I am an Arsenal fan and all you people out there should be happy that more of these don't find a place in the blog lineup! The Arsenal took a hard loss today. I mean it's opening day at the Emirates in North London and we welcome a team that was fighting relegation last year, Aston Villa. I don't like to blame games on the ref, but this game I think the referee did terrible. I hope the FA saw his performance today. I know I'm a fan of the losing team, but I think his acts were enough to get him suspended or something like that. The SEC hand-egg ball conference has put ref's out of a job a couple of times, so why cant the Premier League do it?

Arsenal got off to a confident start. The Arsenal that wins titles showed up in the first 10-15 minutes. And the Frenchman Olivier Giroud put one in the back of the net in the 5th minute. Jack Wilshere started it all, then Rosicky made a nice pass to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who put a ball in with the outside of his foot. Giroud is definitely off to a better start than last season. Then Antho

So called referee

ny Taylor, the referee (if he even deserves that title) started playing for Aston Villa. Through out the game when Villa had a good advantage he let them keep playing. When Arsenal had a good advantage he let the ball come back and made us take the free kick. Rosicky and Cazorla complained a couple of times each about this. The two penalties called in the match were controversial. The first was more likely a penalty than the second. On the first penalty the quick and speedy Agbonlahor got past our defense and the Polish keeper Wojciech Szczesny came out and fouled him. It could be said that the Villa man did not have control of the ball. The second penalty was much worse. Laurent Koscienly clearly got the ball on his challenge. Both announcers of the game thought the challenge was top quality and so did I. But Villa scored again and Koscienly got a yellow card for a perfect tackle. Many yellow cards that were handed to Arsenal players could have easily not been a yellow card. Later Koscienly went in for another challenge that should have not been a foul, then he got sent off with a second yellow. The referee just seemed to be for Villa and every call he could he gave the ball to them. After Villa's third goal the fans starting chanting at Arsene Wenger about spending money.

I really think Arsenal needs to buy players. Through out my past blogs I have said this over and over. This game though, was not because we didn't buy any players. That might have been 10% of the deal. Most of it was because of Anthony Taylor. The ref that needs to be booted from the EPL. The EPL needs to bring in more refs like Howard Webb.

Today has been a good first day for many other teams and some good football has been played! Manchester United and Swansea are battling it out in Wales right now in a game that should be fantastic!
