All 16 Arsenal Red Cards Under Mikel Arteta

A worrying trend under Arteta has been the amount of red cards Arsenal have received, hopefully Holding's red against Tottenham won't impact our hopes of a top 4 finish.

That David Luiz one is a joke we would've won that game meaning we would've finished 6th that season but the refs weren't having it...

[@primexeditz21]

Yeah that one against wolves he wasn’t even touched and it wasn’t checked

[@Never_Wr0ng]

Even the one Eddie got against Leicester was not a red.

[@jrgenramdahl123]

@@Never_Wr0ng lol, what? (Im arsenal fan and eddie is one of my fav)

[@Never_Wr0ng]

@@jrgenramdahl123 Yeah. Considering Vardy got to roundhouse kick Mustafi in the face in the same game, Nketiah playing for the ball with his foot not even above knee level while having 0 knowledge of the player should not even have been a foul- let alone a red.

[@kylebewley7790]

😂 boo hoo

[@thebhoyfromarsenal1653]

I really fail to see how the David Luiz one against Wolves justifies a red. Minimal contact (like we're talking the faintest of touches) and it was totally accidental. So bizzare.

[@thelittleowl1]

The touch was tiny and accidental but it knocked the leg of the wolves player just enough to take him down. The difference is that David Luiz was not making a play on the ball therefore under the law, it has to be red.

[@UnknownPerson-yx2sb]

@@thelittleowl1 it’s not that it’s just simply David Luiz was the last man. If he wasn’t it would still be a penalty but he wouldn’t have been booked either. It’s accidental and he can’t really play the ball if the guy is a whole arms length infront of him

[@thebhoyfromarsenal1653]

@@thelittleowl1 I've not read the rules either by the FA or UEFA, but if this is the case I feel they should be ammended to account for situations like these where the contact is accidental

[@thelittleowl1]

@@thebhoyfromarsenal1653 I agree tbh. The wording is “does not make an attempt to play the ball”.

[@thelittleowl1]

@@UnknownPerson-yx2sb last man isn’t the law tho. It’s denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity. The fact David luiz wasn’t making a play on the ball meant he had to go. It’s a bad law but it’s the law.

[@leocitizens8768]

I think against City it was really not a fair judgment by the refs. When I look how much foul Rodri made in the game and get the first booking in the 93th minute for putting his shirt of it is a real joke that gabriel receives a straight second yellow minutes after his fist for this foul against Jesus.

[@ianmeland4320]

Rodri should been sent of for the crunchy tackle on Martinelli that made him fly 3-4 meter in the sky😭

[@leocitizens8768]

@@ianmeland4320 yeaah but i guess that was a slippery incident therefore the ref would not give red but at least a yellow then. but also... the game was rigged. No VAR Action on Odegard Situation on field call stands but the VAR Action by xhaka on field call overturned Penalty City. Last hope Karma strikes back this year in red and white 🔥🕶

@@lastrolo the villareal player was way to late in his tackle. ceballos didn’t have time to react to jump over the player. Ceballos was literally running in a straight line and the villareal player put his leg under him

Some of these offences penalized as a red card are committed by liverpool and man city and nothing has been given against them

[@Jevols]

[@pochoodiscovery7662]

Most of them are really funny, because they mostly forgive other teams because of this kind of fouls specially in City games they showed us unfair two cards. And now this season our player, even Xhaka doesn't play rude and they don't know how to stop us, even there is VAR but they find solutions to take points from us. Last time milinkovic kicked the saka leg but doesn't even get yellow card it was red indeed. I don't know why the arsenal is most hated team in England by English people, most of times arsenal fans from other nationalities by origin

[@peeper2070]

Amazing how we haven’t received a red card since this video was uploaded.

[@creasicle]

Eddie Nketiah one looked like nothing. Luiz against Wolves was a disgraceful interpretation of the rules. Xhaka against City I can almost understand but the replays don't seem to show any contact. Martinelli one is just Martin Oliver trying to make it all about him.

The only one I will dispute is the Ceballos one, and I’m a United Fan. Every other offense was deservedly given. Arsenal is still the same, high emotions, technically sound in attack, except not a lack of talent, but much less talent in general.

[@bighas96]

Martinelli one was a joke two yellows in one phase of play thats a joke yellow the most

[@TheThreatenedSwan]

So the one where Xhaka got all ball but tapped Cancelo with his trailing foot where Cancelo then flopped down like he'd been shot, you think that was a red card? You're completely delusional. Now Casemiro's cards, causing many thousands of United fans to whine pathetically, those were red cards

[@AnonymousJ99]

There were perhaps 3 or 4 they defo got wrong. As a spurs fan I honestly don't see the bias against Arsenal. Shocking challenges and behaviour from the Arsenal players which led to the decision.

[@TheThreatenedSwan]

You're just delusional then. Saka is one of the most fouled players, yet half of them are not called. Did you see the Southampton game where there were several uncalled penalties and violent conduct incidents or every other week where there are no calls given for penalties to every other team?

[@thebhoyfromarsenal1653]

Yes, a lot of these are 100% justified but (maybe I'm being biased?) some of them were rather harsh and could have easily just been a yellow.

[@thelittleowl1]

@@thebhoyfromarsenal1653 all the straight reds imo are totally justified. The liuz one is kinda harsh but a foul is a foul and he did make no attempt to play the ball. The Liverpool xhaka one was given for dogso (denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity) if you want to bring that up. Which ones do you think are harsh tho?

[@thebhoyfromarsenal1653]

@@thelittleowl1 The ones that I think are harsh you've pretty much mentioned. The Luiz one against Wolves by all means give a foul and a penalty, but the contact was the faintest of touches and it was completely accidental. Very harsh to give a red there IMO. The other ones I feel were harsh was the Gabriel one on Jesus vs. City (worthy of a yellow maybe in its own right, but I still think he's not done much there to warrant a yellow, if I recall it was immediately (like a minute) after he got a yellow for arguing with the ref over the City penalty that was awarded, he's put his hands on him yes but it wasn't a total obstruction and he wasn't the last man either. Had the ref said something along the lines of "final warning, next one and I'm sending you off" then that would have been much more prudent game management). The other one I'd argue with is the Luiz one on Mahrez vs. City. Last man yes, he's put his hand on his shoulder but I feel like Mahrez went down far too easily, he didn't drag him down or anything. A yellow there was all that was really required.

[@thebhoyfromarsenal1653]

@@thelittleowl1 The Xhaka one on Diogo Jota I'd also argue with. I don't think Xhaka was fully aware of where Jota was, he also doesn't catch him with his studs or anything. Was clumsy but not malicious. Look we can debate these issues all day but it's not whether they're worthy of reds or not, all of these can be argued as reds in one way or another, it's the lack of universal standards that makes us Arsenal fans frustrated. We don't mind these being red cards if it applies to everyone. All the time we see players getting away with a booking of a foul for much more than the fouls I've just mentioned. Now I know a lot of Arsenal fans like to get in the conspiratorial mindset, I'm not like that, I feel like it's the refs having a subconscious bias against certain players that have a reputation behind them (Luiz and Xhaka come to mind). However there's incidents over the years that Arsenal fans remember such as when Mane elbowed Tierney in the face, Godfrey stamped on Tomiyasu's face, McCarthy kicked Saka's calf etc. All only yellows but a lot of what's shown in the video here is much, much less and they still got a red. That's the issue.
