Premier League Games 9/10 Dec '23

[super_city_si]

They play against the team that actually has a functional MF.

Exactly. You cant compare playing against a full strength arsenal side to playing a team missing half their starters.

 

[Blu1]

He’s just smashed the ball away! How’s that not a yellow

 

[Beanhead]

we ne



we kept passing the ball to them that's why, we never had 1 spell of that game where we even looked like winning it

Because they were so good for 90 minutes against us.. so far this second half they have been dreadful and keep needlessly giving the ball to Arse. You do realise that if they played like this against us we would have looked better. You play what is in front of you and they are chalk and cheese from Wednesday.

Why no card for Saka?

 

[paulchapo]

Saka writhing in agony. Then he makes a miraculous recovery

Him and rat face are brothers from another mother. It's time the pundits started calling him out on it.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Villa playing with a line of 6 at the back and wide open in midfield

 

[BringBackSwales]

Did I just see out of the corner of my eye Saka blast the ball away in temper and not get a yellow card for it?

Why was Saka not booked then for petulant ly kicking the ball away. Luiz was booked before, and if it was one of our lads he would have been red carded...

 

[Dave S]

Jarred Gillett. He's Australian

Never heard of him!

Half ??

 

[meeesh]

He’s just smashed the ball away! How’s that not a yellow

Coz luckily for him it was a goal kick and he’s kicked it towards villas keeper/ goal -still a twat though

 

[Gibblue]

Compare that to Grealish's yellow. It stinks

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Was technically not punishable cos it was a goal kick not a free kick.

Still a **** though.

 

[Bluemoon115]

Again now yellow?

These Tarquin cunts get away with everything.

Gaffer calls the ref's cheats in his post match, gets fuck all and still carries on.

I hate these cunts.

 

[super_city_si]

Villa blowing out their arses.

You did, see my post

Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal
A brief break in play as Bukayo Saka takes a whack.
Safe to say the Villa fans reckon he's making a meal of it, perhaps in an attempt to get Lucas Digne - wh has just been booked - sent off.
Looked like Digne caught the back of his leg just before Douglas Luiz got in there, too.

 

[Mentis]

Never heard of him!

He's reffed in Premier League for a couple years. Think he's alright, personally.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Coz luckily for him it was a goal kick and he’s kicked it towards villas keeper/ goal -still a twat though

If you think that’s true, rather than he kicked it away hard in temper then I am surprised

 

[waspish]

Is it tactical or are their players just better suited to press than ours?

I fear it's the latter. It starts up top with Jesus who we know is a menace when pressing.

We tried pressing but Villa were to good at passing around our press! Villa did that fine first 30 mins and Arsenal have midfielders we didn't
