Same as 95% of the season, bloody hard work. The squad was at least two light in the summer. Then Alvarez was moved on. Follow bad injuries to KDB, Rodri and Bobb. Fuck Txiki's retirement wind down. People are needed in for Jan 1st, not the fucking 31st, if any are brought in at all.

When you see what Arsenal are allowed to do on every corner, could you imagine if that had been disallowed? Quite frankly it’s a disgrace it even went to an on-field review.

It went to VAR because linesman flagged to disallow it.

Bernardo lightly jostles Sa but he's ONSIDE when he does it. When Stones heads it he's offside but by then he's no longer interfering with play. So VAR intervened to GIVE the goal which is why you see Kavanagh make the square screen signal (meaning a VAR-reversed decision) then point to the centre circle spot signalling a goal. Without VAR that would have been disallowed.

I've no issue with that being given - if you're disallowed goals for that then we (Arsenal) would never score at corners.

~Now you're gonna believe me, now you're gonna believe me, now you're gonna believe me, Johnny's going to score~

Oh ye of little faith. I keep telling you John Stones is the GREATEST!!!! ;-) :-)

Sky can fuck right off with their 'controversial goal'.

Not a fucking murmur from them when Ederson was doubled up on against Arsenal.

The number of times I've seen goals like that get reviewed with unequivocal punditry along the lines of "not for me, the keeper has to be stronger there". Including that Gabriel goal.

Fucking nonsense. Sa was literally never getting there, Bernardo just stood his ground like players do on literally every single corner. It would be criminal to chalk a goal like that off.

After a last minute winner, why would your first thought be to criticise and go on a pseudo tactical rant?

Forget VAR, little football nerds are killing the game.

Pal, I'm delighted we got all three points, but had that winner not come, this thread would obviously be far different. And that's sport and why we all love it, but I'm just speaking honestly and looking/thinking long-term past that delight of the three points today.

Unfortunately Gundog was a sentimental signing, been great for us but sadly past his best

 

[RobinHood]

Had to laugh (after the event) when a big cheer went up from the Wolves fans when ref sent to screen.

Edited due to being pissed.

 

[Josh_D]

Revenge for that handball goal they scored seasons back. Fuck em.

3 points. We move

 

[Captain Flint]

this couldn't have turned out better if I wrote the scenario myself, I revel in the pain of these letter writing, evidence providing bastards who thought they had a chance to take points from us till the very last second.

 

[.db.]

Papered over the cracks there.
Absolutely dreadful performance.
KDB can’t come back quick enough
Something has got to change.
Same issues week in week out….
Wingers wrong (whoever it is)
No Foden
Rico not a RB
Gungo as pale imitation of previous
1st shot on target concede
So easy to play against in transition
Haaland less than 10 touches
18 corners today (the goal was the 1st time we looked dangerous. There is no variation whatsoever. Who the fuck is our set piece coach)!
2 direct free kicks in great positions were pathetic and it did not look like they knew how was taking it.
That said, top (somehow).

Spot on. Some concerning things…

Still buzzing though!

 

[Gray]

Christ
How we miss Kevin.
No one putting their foot on the ball and
controling the game.

No Kevin, no Rodri, Walker slowing down, Alvarez gone, Foden is well below par.

Yet we are still doing quite well. I think we need to struggle through to January then sign a couple of top players.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

One thing we desperately need is a fit KDB and a back to form Phil. Without them playing well we’re going to really struggle.

Nah...season doesn't start till after christmas !!!

 

[blue44]

We do miss him but there’s no way his coming back with cure all our issues. It’s all relative. How many clubs would like to have our “ problems”? Although we are where we are, IMHo we are just not totally at it.

we're not "totally at it " because he is absent

 

[willipp]

Really struggle?

That was a struggle big time. I know we got the 3 points, but anyone thinking that doesn’t need to improve a lot is ignoring things.

 

[maxwellblue]

Hopefully Wolves go down. One of those horrible little clubs with small time fans who don't belong in this league.

Disliked them since 1974

 

[Beanhead]

There are some concerning things going on with the style of play and some individuals at the moment, but we are picking up the points.

I think the important thing is we are picking up results.. we are in our usual autumnal slump.. but usually we tend to drop more points.. so I’m surprisingly upbeat.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Revenge for that handball goal they scored seasons back. Fuck em.

3 points. We move

That Bolly goal still haunts me.

Cheating cunts.

 

[Macca77macca]

OMG I just saw a @Penworthamblue I am from Penwortham too (don’t live there now)

HALLO

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Stuart Atwell on VAR.
The same twat who that said Rashford wasn't interfering with play for the rags that time.
Bent bastard trying to fuck us over again
