I think it says..

"Kick yellow ball or the player if he's nearer. Fake injury to avoid booking"

?

“If winning fall over”

 

[Silva&Silva]

If the tarquins could stop throwing themselves to the ground every two seconds that would be great.

 

[jimharri]

Newcastle playing at a frantic pace. I hope they don't run out of steam with 20 minutes or so left.

 

[.db.]

Say it game after game, the sooner the semi-automated offside comes in the better.

It’s too inaccurate though.

 

[MCFC1993]

Relentless from Newcastle.

 

[bridgeno1]

Smart from Newcastle. We'd have expected them to sit deep against us and defend the lead but instead they've gone out to end the tie quickly.

 

[blueste41]

Why on earth do they think the referee saying Isak was offside is helping in any way?

They committed to explaining every VAR decision on field, I guess if they didn't they would face criticism from someone somewhere?

 

[BTH]

Rice has a fucking playbook written on his arm

He could have The Complete Works Of Shakespeare written on his humungous head!

 

[chesterbells]

Football shouldn’t be about trying to find ways in which to disallow goals.

If it’s level for all intents and purposes and someone is an inch “offside” with the flap of his sleeve, that needs binning off and giving as ‘benefit of the doubt’.

Completely agree. You’re taking away excitement, joy, thrill unnecessarily for the paying customers otherwise.
It diminishes the product.

 

[Crouchinho]

He’s quickly become the most unpopular player in the league hasn’t he? Shithouse.


(I’m not sure Partey’s that popular either, mind)

I've never had a problem with shithouse players. Savage, Hunt, Maupay, Barton, Wilshere, Costa Lamela (loved it) etc but Gabriel is just a first class prick. His beating of the chest and over emotional stuff is so typical of Arteta and his wanker football.

If Newcastle win they'll show class and clap their way off. Gabriel will be ramming it in everyone's face.

 

[skillman]

Why would Arsenal time waste when they are 2-0 down?

Exactly. Yet they are. As proved by Hooper telling Skelley to hurry up.

I can only assume to negate the atmosphere a bit.

 

[Kippax77]

Nope. He was offside by a gnat's dick.

When are they going to show us the lines.... halftime?

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

If Newcastle concede the first then it’s likely they’ll collapse.

 

[mancboy]

Arsenal training video leaked

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Awful miss. Shame.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

GTFI

 

[hertsblue]

Get in

 

[RobinHood]

That'll do nicely

 

[give it to gordon]

Rule that out lol

 

[MCFC1993]

Very poor from Odegaard, no composure, just swings at it.
