Arsenal (H) | PL | Post-match Thread

Which Arsenal player was down and Oliver waved him to get up and he sprinted across the pitch. I’m having an argument with an Arsenal fan who thinks I’m making it up. ? Was it Martinelli ?

Yep. Martinelli. Went down with "cramp", sprinted across to the left side to tackle a City player, then hit the deck again as soon as it went out of play.

Just seen what Gabriel has said post match, said that our celebrations was normal and that it's normal being provocative in a game as it's a battle and it's a war.

Fair fucks to him, good to see he hasn't had a hissy fit like half the press and half of arsenaa have.

Not a mard arse like his fans are. The Tarquins.

Was saying mad shit to Akanji aswell while he was sat on his arse. Wanted Manu to pick the little rat up and dump him on his head

Decent goal scoring threat at set pieces too. I absolutely despise him but I agree

All their defenders who started and White are fucking quality. That's why it's so hard to break down when they play like they did on Sunday. They'll have to shit out a hell of a lot of 1-0's though as they look to have the creativity of a robot vacuum cleaner without Odegaard

When it was 11 against 11 Arsenal created nothing from open play. Had Rodri stayed on we would have hammered them. We were brilliant those first 20mins.

Lots of blocking going on when the ball went live. Seems that’s acceptable.

They tried to stop blocking at corners and free kicks about 8 or 9 years ago. We played at Stoke and each side conceded a penalty for blocking, and then the refs stopped penalising the offence most of the time.
It should be easy to spot using VAR but they rarely seem interested.

Just stand everyone in the goal line and then when the ball comes over run at the fucker taking them cunts with you

Absolutely. Get some line backers in the squad. Form a defensive semi circle. The second the corner is taken run full pelt at the opposition and take them out leaving Eddie on his lonesome to make an easy catch.

Yes - there's a clip of him doing the rounds afterwards whilst he's sat down again telling Oliver to fuck off

so there was 9 minutes wasted on goal kicks alone according to that. there was 13 minutes of injury time total over the two halves, rodri alone spent over 6 minutes down injured, they had at least half a dozen "injuries" from them, some genuine ones from us, add in goals, var checks, subs, set pieces, throw ins etc and we can estimate the ref miscalculated added time by at least 15 minutes. Why has there been so little made of the lack of substantial injury time?
