It's not fair! Cesc Fabregas moans about Arsenal's treatment by referees

Cesc Fabregas has added to Arsene Wenger's claim that Arsenal are not getting fair treatment from referees by claiming his side pick up too many yellow cards. The midfielder said: 'What is for sure is that we probably commit half the fouls that other teams do but seem to receive the same number of yellow cards and often more. It's frustrating.' Wenger last week bemoaned two recent penalty decisions that did not go Arsenal's way, believing referees are holding the controversy surrounding Eduardo against them, despite UEFA overturning the striker's ban for diving. The manager said: 'What I feel about it is we didn’t get the penalty at Manchester United with [Andrey] Arshavin and it was a direct consequence of what happened with Eduardo. 'We didn't get the penalty at Manchester City with Gareth Barry either, and it was a direct consequence of that. 'It’s the referee’s problem. What you expect from the referee is to make the right decision in any circumstances and I don’t believe they will have to consider that case. That case has been judged.'
