Arsenal (A) | Post Match Thread

[paulchapo]

Thought the Arsenal crowd were ridiculous at times with their reactions to clear fouls given against them
Fouls that are given as fouls every week of the year

They are and always have been a bunch of mardarse cunts.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Its like a few years ago when Sterling gave away a penalty for blocking a player on a corner based on some new rules the premier league brought in that season. For the entire rest of that season i didn't see a single other penalty given for it.

Its just pure chance these once in a lifetime decisions happen to go against us.

Otamendi in the CL, they had to change the handball rule after that one.

Agree about Arteta - they were too wound up tonight and looked very brittle in the second half.

Very error prone too. I know we are good at that too but they really did gift us that first goal tonight.

UP THE MONEY LAUNDERING SPORTSWASHING BLUES!!!!

Let’s see if the FA charge Arsenal for not controlling their fans

Why what happened?

 

[AKA 55 year old teenager]

Get in blue boys, we deserve that after all thw shit flung at us in the last week.

They never give them if the player gets the shot away. Goalkeepers only ever concede a foul if they prevent the player from getting to the ball. Even if technically in the rules there's nothing to say that, that's the way it's always been refereed. Except in a big match when the Premier League need Arsenal to get back into it. I'm glad we shoved it down their throat.

Yep happens almost every week, pens rarely, if ever given (unless you wear a blue shirt)

Starting to be a recurring theme that we’re much better in the second half than the first, hopefully it’ll click properly soon as I don’t think we’re far off.

Great result.

Again, we got a penalty for exactly the same thing in the same game. Referees announced they were clamping down on holding and blocking players from corners but it only lasted for one game. We got a penalty for it and Stoke got one for it. Then it stopped happening.

The shirt-pulling debate: Two penalties in Stoke v Man City match a sign of things to come?

Was Mike Dean correct to award two penalties in Man Citys win at Stoke?

When Arsenal take the pitch on Saturday it will be 25 days since their last win.

 

[eyalluvitt]

See your point but all clubs really do feel the officials are against them - arsenal fans will be moaning about the ref and some decisions tonight guaranteed

Arsenal fans moaning about the Ref tonight is like a homeowner moaning about the workmanship on one of Fred West’s patios

 

[The perfect fumble]

Get in blue boys, we deserve that after all thw shit flung at us in the last week.

They've added tonight's game to the rap sheet.

 

[paulchapo]

I'm looking forward to 3 of our opponents players being booked every game from now on in for time wasting.

Now we're on the attack Pep should have called it out. "All we ask is the rules are applied the same for everybody. Martinez collides with Haaland, no penalty and no goal. Tonight it's a penalty against us. Teams come to our ground and waste time from the first minute with no cards given. Tonight Ederson gets carded for it in the first half."

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I'm going to bed tonight feeling happy and proud, thank you City: )

 

[Gingers Dad]

Wow, who the fuck is this guy interviewing Odegaard.
Question 1: Should Nketeiah have had a hattrick
Question 2: Should Ederson have gotten a red card

Question 3: Where have you been all night?

 

[Blue Theatre]

When the chips are down, KDB's command, confidence & determination to win are awe-inspiring. He simply wasn't going to be on the losing side tonight.

Thought we were shit 2nd half v Villa and v rags

 

[chesterbells]

Shearer is so different and complimentary about us when he’s not on BBC. Cannot be a coincidence.

I don’t think it’s a City-specific thing tbh. It’s just format of motd which is so constrained/scripted.
He’s started doing punditry and match co-coms again on radio 5 and he speaks more freely on that, as he does on Amazon - more time to talk at length and more freely it seems, on all topics tbh

 

[ChicagoBlue]

We got a penalty for the exact same thing in that very same game, it was when they decided they were going to crack down on holding at corners and it lasted for that game and that game only.

Always reminded of this pic when people talk about fouls of holding on corners and free kicks!

Joke…agenda…shit reffing? Who knows, but my goodness!

 

[Chris B]

Why what happened?

Threw cups at KDB when he went off.
