⚽ Arsenal vs Brighton, League, today 12.30pm

Qwiss

Gazza M as long as they don't get sent off they'll be doing better. 2 really stupid yellows today.

Clrnc

Ian Wright absolutely livid. Just stopped short of accusing the ref of corruption.

Darren Bent says the ref was looking to book Arsenal players at the slightest instance. The ref could not have seen the incident clearly given where he was

invisibleman18

daredevil you've got to bury that chance in the corner when he was clean through. The was the match winning chance.

Clrnc

Partey was ball watching on Pedro's tap in. Infuriating

Saliba and Gabriel such poor defending

invisibleman18

Clrnc partey just strolls back watching the number 9 run past him. Going to get torn apart through the middle at Spurs next week.

naz

The goal against us was pure garbage by the way, rookie defending. What the heck was Saliba doing and where is the coverage from midfield. Gabriel had to cover for Saliba sucking so much there so no blame on him

Qwiss

naz just rewatched it. All on Saliba. Poor from him. Think the red broke his focus a bit.

Qwiss

Keown is great not letting Huzler talk shit unchallenged.

Big Willie

Qwiss Keown is great not letting Huzler talk shit unchallenged.

His head bopping while he talks is so unnerving.

naz

Fuck this, ruined my weekend. Now we have to watch us struggle against the scum next week. It's going to be awful without Rice even if he's been useless so far

naz

I completely blame the ref on this, we would easily win this 2 or 3-0 without that dumb red.

We won't see a single ref call that for the rest of the season

Sicario2 - Tier 1

1 lifeline gone (for the title). 4 max 5 left. But big shame letting one lifeline go in game week fucking 3 esp considering our next two games.

Last season game week 3 we drew to fucking Fulham and now we draw to Brighton (although this one mitigating circumstances with the red card which was a fucking joke).

We know how fine margins to win the title so this one hurts.

We took way too long to get into the game, 1 goal advantage at HT always risky when you have bent ref’s.

Trossard proved again he is better as a super sub, too hot and cold and has zero pace.

Harvertz well taken goal but should have scored a second and generally still a bit too moody to be our undisputed number 9, shame Jesus can’t be relied on.

Raya MOM second game in a row.

Come on West Ham and Utd this weekend. Can’t let our rivals get too ahead of steam esp when we drop points.

Sicario2 - Tier 1 Trossard proved again he is better as a super sub, too hot and cold and has zero pace.

He was so anonymous. Horribly quiet

est

Clrnc Tbh he had one great cross that Odegaard should have scored from. Poor game from Odegaard unfortunately for us.

Qwiss

Smart interview from Arteta

est

Qwiss What did he say?

Qwiss

est he said there is no consistency and pointed to them kicking the ball away several times. Also said Veltman should have walked and it would have been 10 vs 10. Just enough to avoid getting in trouble I think but made his points well.

Xcdude24

USArsenal reminds me of the rvp card against Barca

USArsenal

Xcdude24 Ugh, yeah that was ridiculous also. He clearly could not hear the whistle with the noise from the stadium. That was one of the dumbest things i have seen.

DiabyKungFu

Xcdude24 reminds me of the rvp card against Barca

I think RVP literally didn't hear the whistle and was legitimately playing on whereas Rice was clearly shithousing and got his bluff called. I think the argument about it being a moving ball is reasonable but I don't think the call is necessarily as crazy as people are making it out to be.

Qwiss

DiabyKungFu there are a number of things going on though. Rice got 2 stupid yellows today for no good reason, thats on him. However the ref wasn't booking other people for kicking the ball away, so thats unfair. And even if Rice is shithousing that doesn't give Veltman the right to just take a swipe at him. Var should have dealt with that, it was clearly a deliberate kick which is violent conduct as the balls not in play.

CPM

DiabyKungFu There's a difference between the law serving the game, and the game serving the law.

Don Pacifico

DiabyKungFu he's clearly not trying to waste time though otherwise he would have actually kicked it away rather than nudging it. I just think there's no common sense employed there. If that's a yellow, why did the Brighton player who kicked the ball away in the first half not get booked?

There's no way in my mind that that should be a yellow.

Dom

Nothing makes me more relieved for an international break than a bent ref and dropped points. This was almost as blatant an example of bias/cheating as Van Persie's red against Barcelona. No other team would've got a red card. The two players involved receive a warning and then play carries on.

Rice was dumb AF too since he shouldn't be giving a United fan an excuse to send him off. It's got to a stage where the club should be hiring investigators to find out which refs are Man Utd and Spurs sympathisers so the players can adjust to the bias in a particular game. Kavanaugh's youtube watch history has to be full of Van Nistelrooy and Roy Keane compilations, the fucker, so let's get to it.
