Said before the match watch the cornets.

No need to be blowing your own trumpet.

Score the next goal we win

 

[chris85mcfc]

Been given a lifeline as I didn't know where a 2nd goal was going to come from for us

Needs Phil on at half time to give us the creativity

Personally I'd take Gundogan off as I don't think he's been involved at all, the games just passed him by really

He's playing for Southampton, don't he's here today

Great, we’ve now got the analytical insights of Michah Richards.

 

[Keeper!]

Kdb should come in the next half. We can still win this.

great contribution

Injured v Inter.

I know the goons are down to ten but I reckon second half will be frustrating to fcuk. Ultra defensive time wasting will happen now.

Nothing will change. Hope I'm wrong .

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Watching that replay, Walker is actually given more than enough time to get back, but he prioritised having a word with Trossard instead. Don’t know how long people expect the ref to give him. If he wants enough time to walk back then that’s his own fault.

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

Can these second half but we need to make some changes. Grealish on for Doku and maybe Foden at one point.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I am a Pacifist that can count the number of fights I have been in over my life on one hand (and they were all started by someone else), and even I want to punch half the Arse team in the face.

Snap!!

 

[Kinkybyname]

next goal wins - going back in

Yes he should from the Doctor’s clinic.

 

[gray740]

Oh Michah please fuck off

 

[bluealf]

Arteta hugging his player, he should be berating him for either kicking the ball away when you're on a yellow or the blatant foul on Bernie when you're on a yellow.

Fucking idiot

 

[SebastianBlue]

Just catching up, Rodri a bad one? :(

Caught his left leg in the turf whilst running about for a corner and came down on it awkwardly, and went down clutching the back of his knee.

The one thing today that Arsenal had nothing to do with, unfortunately.

Just hoping it was just a sprain and there is no ligament damage.

I did basically the exact same thing when I was in my late twenties and did my LCL.

I may be in the minority here—and even I am questioning this stance after Arse’s shitehousing in the first half, detestable bunch of cunts they are—but I think I would still rather lose this and Rodri be ok, then win it and have him out for awhile.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

I'll be in the minority with this for my Trossard opinion.
Oliver has lost this game completely and has reffed it appallingly - sorry but sending Trossard off for that is ridiculous. If he's booking him for that then Doku should have gone in the book earlier.
Atrocious.
Arsenal first goal should never have stood for 2 reasons:
Walker not given time to get back in position (although he's been poor 1st half especially 2nd goal where he seems more intent on touching up Gabriel)
Taken from nowhere near the correct spot
Hey ho
Edit: FORGOT TROSSARD WAS ON A YELLOW. SO THE FOUL ON BERNIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A YELLOW, IGNORE KICKING THE BALL AWAY

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

That second goal was diabolical defending.

 

[Keeper!]

Great, we’ve now got the analytical insights of Michah Richards.

Fat wanker is stealing a living more as a pundit than a footballer and that took some doing.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Don't send Trossard off ref - just form an orderly queue so we can all take a turn at punching the rat faced **** in the face

I think I'll take the sending off instead
