00:00 The game is never meant to be like this.
00:05 It's an absolute disgrace that this goal is allowed. It's an absolute disgrace.
00:10 I just would like to understand why, the why, the why, why we've been always at the end of bad decisions.
00:25 I don't like it. I don't like the standing around. I don't like the whole sort of theatre around waiting for decisions.
00:33 I trust in the car but you know the driver, that is a problem.
00:38 I like it when it helps us out and I don't like it when it doesn't help us out.
00:42 Is there any point in having VAR if the same decisions aren't given every week? I just don't know where we're going with it all, I really don't.
00:48 I don't like it. I think we should just accept referees' decisions.
00:52 It's too much a stake here. We put so much effort. It's so difficult to compete at this level and it's an absolute disgrace.
00:59 It's just diminishing the authority of the referee. You can't tell me that referees are in control of the game now. They're not.
01:06 Again, I feel embarrassed. I've been more than 20 years in this country and this is nowhere near the level to describe this as the best league in the world. I am sorry.
01:16 Too many coaches wanted the VAR and then when they say, "Again you?" and now we, "No, that is a disgrace." It's difficult. I'm not talking about Arteta.
01:29 It's an absolute disgrace.
01:31 In all the countries, not just here, in all the countries now, the referees in VAR are the lead on roles.
01:37 And the Oscar goes to...
01:39 And you have to make a step back.
01:41 [Beep, beep, beep]
01:43 (upbeat music)
