Brace yourselves. First fucking by a ref is upon us

Fuck me, Gillett again! Fuck you PGMOL. Cooked.

Segway

Wonder what they will come up with this time...

QuincyAbeyie

Segway It's already taken longer than expected for them to give a red card to Raya for holding into the ball too many seconds (their new self-proclaimed focus area of the season?), so I guess this is the week.

invisibleman18

Segway surely something for shirt pulling off a corner. Penalty for them and/or disallowed goal for us.

Segway

QuincyAbeyie Good shout. We need to be made an example of. I don't dare celebrate any potential goal we score from a set piece either because they will just find the tiniest of infractions.

Speedster

Buenos two footed lunge before he elbowed Jorginho in the back of the head is the madest thing I've seen to go unpunished in years. And when you put them both in the same sequence it's insane. He's fully lost his head and a danger to everyone else on the pitch.

If the refs not gonna a send him of for that's theirs no point having a ref.

About to get DARVO'd by the PGMO once again ...

Burnwinter About to get DARVO'd by the PGMO once again ...

Well, no, I don't like actually. Some sadistic shit liking that. Though I won't, I actually thinking about taking my like back, no offence.

Fuck PGMO and hopefully we don't get darvo'd and come out of this with the 3 points.

RocktheCasbah

banduan There's absolutely no reason to start Saliba right now.

Not sure I agree with that, as good as Mosquera has been. Haaland will be a step up from anyone Mosquera has had to deal with this season.. if Saliba is a risk, then no, don't start him. But if he is fit, then imo he should absolutely play.

I don’t have a good feeling about this match. We don’t seem to have clicked yet and a few of our players don’t look to be in peak physical condition.

City are also getting their act together

lorddulaarsenal Yep, City are good and this is always one of the toughest games we'll play all season.

That being said, we're at home, we should go for the win. Just get it done.

lorddulaarsenal We don’t seem to have clicked yet and a few of our players don’t look to be in peak physical condition.

Injuries aside, the season started a month ago so I'm really not convinced we can keep using this as an excuse when players/the team underperform.

flobaba

A lot will depend on Saliba's and Odegaard's form/fitness.

Sicario2

We have two days rest on City so no excuse. However, it will probably be harder than last season game as City are in a better place it seems and Haaland is back to his best.

Mirth

Would be devastating to lose this and the Liverpool game.

Cannon

I am hoping for a win. Like mentioned above we have two additional rest days after CL and IMO a better team at the moment. Haaland is what scares me the most from their team.

RowJimmy

Something can be an explanation without being an excuse.

Sicario2

RowJimmy it’s def an excuse. If we are under cooked that’s on us. No euros or World Cup this summer so no excuses

Don Pacifico

And I don't think it's a legitimate explanation either! 😂

lorddulaarsenal

Don Pacifico do you think all of our players that are available to play are in peak condition?

Qwiss

Sicario2 I agree its an excuse but some people seem fine to use it as an excuse for Liverpool but not us.
