Sure Fletch had some bad challenges, but I hate how Wenger is basically saying he meant to that.. Fletch isn't the kind of player to intentionally do that sort of thing.
Dein has always been inconsistent and over the top on color being shown.

Yeah, I know, but Eduardo isn't the type of player to dive either. All of Wenger's comments this week speaks to inconsistent refereeing. Dein gave quite a few Arsenal players yellows for first/second offences. Van Persie's yellow was most notable. United got a lot more leeway.
Liverpool might get general favour, but United get lots of love at Old Trafford. Just look at how few penalties get awarded against them there - I read a few years ago that the count was 3 - 16 home vs away, over a couple of years on the same amount of games (up to 2006-ish).
Anyway, we lost, I've moved on. The more crucial game for me was always the one against Man City.
