Premier League Games | 29/30 November '25

Not a great watch but Chelsea made it so with the overly aggressive approach which started right from the kick off when pedro smashed straight into Hincapie. They've clearly been told to do this as part of the tactical plan.

Arsenal have 4 yellows so a good chance this gets evened up
 
This is a far cry from the City:Liverpool battles a few years ago or the United:Chelsea games in the late 00s.

Neither were on the ankle though.

Foden was fouled on the top of his foot. Should have been a penalty and a yellow card.

Merino was fouled about six inches above his ankle. Clear red card.

Dunno mate, the first point of contact was on the ankle for Foden and I'm as big a fan of exaggerating six inches as the next man, but I don't think you're correct. I also wasn't stating it should be a red - I was pointing out that VAR didn't want to get involved when it was a clear foul.

Your back up centre halves are nowhere near as good as you have been talking them up to be. Very fortunate that this game has been gift wrapped and it won’t affect you
 
That's probably the blueprint to stopping this Arsenal team, really - turn it into as much of a scrap as possible. Sunderland thrived on it and now Chelsea - becomes difficult with 10 though.

I think the Foden one is clearly a foul - but there's a massive difference between two feet making contact in the air because somebody has mistimed it and going in on an ankle that's weight-bearing near the ground like Caicedo did. I don't think the two tackles are really that similar - though they're both fouls.
 
Am I the only one who thinks that challenge by Caicedo isn't much different to Schah on Foden last week? If anything, Caicedo is more in control as he doesn't go off his feet. The contact point is the same, studs up, same, same force, equally late, ours isn't even a foul and that's a red card, just fuck off PGMOL.
