Arsenal (A) | Post Match Thread

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.

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.

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

Why what happened?

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.
