Martin Atkinson

We all know that Mike Dean is set to retire at the end of the season and he will be joined by Martin Atkinson and Jon Moss.

Mikel Arteta didn’t hold back when he talked about what Arsenal did wrong against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Thursday night.

Arsenal lost on Thursday night at Old Trafford thanks to some dodgy refereeing and their own stupidity.

Ask any Arsenal fan and they will tell you that referees are quick to give penalties against them but not so quick to give a spot-kick to the Gunners, so is this true and who gives the most penalties against Arsenal?

Former referee Chris Foy has used his Mail on Sunday column to defend Calum Chambers being punched in the face in the lead up to Manchester City’s second goal.

Mikel Arteta has said that he is ‘angry’ about Granit Xhaka’s red card because of similar challenges not being punished in that way against Arsenal.

While this season has been pretty painful, we have at least been able to relax knowing Martin Atkinson hasn’t been involved, in any capacity, with…

We’ve had to wait until November, but Martin Atkinson has finally been selected to referee an Arsenal match this season and that’s not good news

You can argue all you like, but Arsenal got screwed all season by referees and here are the stats to back that up.

Matteo Guendouzi will not be charged by the FA for grabbing Neal Maupay around the throat in what seems a rather nice change of fortune for Arsenal.

Bernd Leno and the rest of us will have to wait to find out the extent of his injury after he was shoved for no reason by a Brighton player in an action that could have lasting implications for more than just the keeper.

Martin Atkinson’s performance during Arsenal’s match at Brighton on Saturday was one of the worst we’ve seen and while we can say blaming the referee for a defeat is refusing to accept how poor Arsenal are, Arsenal and the referee can both be sh*t at the same time.

Martin Atkinson angered Arsenal fans with his treatment of Yves Bissouma during the Brighton match on Saturday, refusing to book the player.

Bernd Leno took the time to have a real go at Neal Maupay as he was stretchered off following the Brighton man’s ‘challenge’ and he had every right.

Arsenal will travel to Bournemouth on Monday night for a match refereed, again, by Martin Atkinson, while Mike Dean will run the VAR. One week…

Even though Arsenal weren’t at their best against Sheffield United on Saturday, had they been given a stonewall penalty when they were 1-0 up then the result would have been a different matter altogether.

Arsenal will face Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon with Mike Dean in charge, Lee Mason as the fourth official and Martin Atkinson running the VAR.

Mike Dean will take charge of our trip to West Ham on Monday night as we move back into our rotation of regular refs with just three taking charge of 60% of Arsenal’s games this season.

With both VAR decisions going against Arsenal this weekend, it seems as if the new tech has it in for the Gunners, but are the refs really screwing Arsenal or are we just imagining it?

Former Premier League Mark Clattenburg has said that both VAR decisions at the Emirates were wrong.
