Arsenal (A) - Post-Match Thread

How are they still moaning about the penalty? He clearly pulled his fucking shirt. Its a foul. Therefore a penalty.
Legged him and grabbed his shirt to boot. Stonewall doesn't even begin to cover it...moaning that VAR official recommended the ref take a look. I mean what next saying victims of rape deserve it?...clown world is perfectly illustrated by football fandom.
 
No idea how we won that.


Probably the worst we have played all season. The front 3 were really bad.

Winning whilst not playing great is a sign of Champions.

Got to say...Pep has thrown in some strange tactics during his tenure against the Rags, and these. We could have really put these to the sword and made the extra man count. We didn't, no idea why you wouldn't bring on fresh legs, and replace tired players. Maximise the use of Subs. Strange Guy(but a genius mostly :-)).

Also i personally thought the ref had a really good game, got everything right, and was not intimated by the Partisan crowd.

Now we get to rest, and come back for the Title run in.

Happy New Year Blues, and may all your dreams come true.
There has been periods in our past four games where we haven’t been as fluid and a a bit sloppy at times, so a performance like this was due I think. 4 wins out of them though tells us everything we need to know about this side. Not only are we extremely talented, we can dig in and are very together as a team. It’s incredible that we have put together 11 wins on the bounce again. The pressure we are putting on the others is relentless.
 
Bt saying bernie dived ffs
Well he did but only after the leg incident and shirt pull, you can't be as biased as to think he didn't throw himself down after that because we know that they have to or it won't be given but he went down like Tom Daley and I mean that in a dive fashion not on his husband fashion :)
 
Don’t get the pk bs they are talking about. If he even touch the ball a little bit I can see the other side. Doesn’t get no where near the ball,trips home,pulls shirt back. Wtf else do you need for a pk?
 
Again, I had to watch it sporadically but what's all the moaning about the ref? I saw the big decisions, seemed they were right to me and any normal, sane person
Nothing wrong with the ref...BT just can't handle City playing poorly and scoring a late winner. They were giddy as fuck at HT when we were losing.
 
That lanky streak of piss was like fuckin zeberdee at half time, giddy as fuck.
He'll be suicidal now and I can't wait.

BTsport are a disgrace, I can only presume they wanted an arsenal win.
Up yours btsport, up yours sky sports, up yours the Premier league.
I don’t watch them for that reason but my preferred US channels don’t agree with the pen either. However they don’t cry over in a pathetic redtop way.
 
I heard mcPointy say ref should have stuck to his original decision which was no penalty. The absolute dick should realise that's what VAR is for, to correct clear and obvious errors by the ref. He obviously didn't see the shirt pull in real time so when he looked again he corrected his initial call
Watching the reply's now as BT are going on about the VAR calls, Xhaka's leg clearly makes contact with both legs of Silva as well as the shirt being pulled.

So Bernie exaggerates the fall, big deal, how many times have Sterling, Foden and Grealish being clearly fouled in the box this season, stayed on their feet in an attempt to reach the ball to get a shot away, and it's been ignored by a ref or VAR.

It's called playing the system, Salah and Vardy to name but two are making a great living out of it.
 
Dominated possession , dominated the shot count , fouled often due to domination of possession , definite red.

I have a different take on this game than most I thought we deserved the win , we were more clinical when it counted despite the lateness of the winner.
I'm working so didn't watch it but having a look at the stats I'd have thought we'd blown them away. The only slightly dodgy stat is 2 shots on target out of 15 total.

Sod it, it's Arsenal, 3 points will do ;)
