I just love how they always get the softest of calls, never called out for fouls on corners then this happens and they lose it.
Wow they are Nearly as bad as our match threads. They do call out their own giving and I’m shocked how bad Martinelli has become. I would have loved him a couple of years ago.I’m still waiting on AFTV to upload their snippets. So here we are at Arsenal Mania. I’ve started in the title race thread.
Off to the match thread. I’ll go straight to the penalty. I should remind everyone how easy EVERY Arsenal player was going to ground in the 65 or so minutes already played.
I'd love to give Joao Pedro a tw*tting with my tyre iron because then the flopping about will at least be genuine...f*cking gormless piece of sh*t.
Like a foot goes over the ball and into the player is a red card just once when it happened to them. Or a second yellow for a player kicking himself. Oh wait, that was Curtis Jones and Jota.It’s doing my head in they Arsenal think they’re getting “new red cards”
Lots of players have had yellows for delaying the restart. It’s just only Arsenal players who are stupid enough to do it when already booked. They do it because Mikel is telling them to.
That is brilliant!After this week, we'll be needing The Webb telescope to see Pool as they disappear over the horizon.
I rate Saliba and that's why I think it's a pen, because I don't see him mistiming an intervention like that by accident. The Arse get up to all sorts in both areas - most of the goals Gabriel gets from corners result from him pushing his marker in the back on the blind side of the ref for example.
Yeah, it's a nonsense. Getting a touch on the ball has long since been abandoned as making any level of contact legitimate. Reckless following through etc. not only leads to a foul but usually a card of some description too.only heard about the brighton penalty this morning and watched some replays, amazing how arsenal fans have gotten worked up about this.
if a player is in the box and knocks the ball past a defender who swings a leg, grazes the ball very slightly but also absolutely clatters the attacker with his foot it’s a pen… so swap foot for head
Have a heart mate! They've all but lost their will to live watching their team this season - got to have an escape clause. That's all they've got left, moan about everything and blame it for losing the league this season. It's a conspiracy !only heard about the brighton penalty this morning and watched some replays, amazing how arsenal fans have gotten worked up about this.

the invincibles ruined their fans, nothing will ever be good enough. they’re certainly top of the league at moaning though 😀Have a heart mate!

I'd say it's harsh because it's uncommon. Usually you'd argue a player heading a ball wasn't in control of possession; but Pedro flicked it up to head it on, so he did have possession. Saliba mistimed and clatters in to him. If it was shoulder to shoulder, leg to leg etc there wouldn't be this level of dissection over it. It's just because it's an odd oneFrom what I saw, on the third camera angle admittedly, on MotD last night I am minded to think it was a harsh penalty and I’d be upset if that had gone against us
