Cahill did the same tackle against Burnley and received a straight red card. Mustafi hasn't even received a warning.

Frustrating isn't it ? I just don't understand it, why is football the only sport where the refs have their own views on the rules ? You don't see it with refs and umpires in other sports. Football refs are all following the same rule book, how can they all have such different views on things if they all follow the same rule book ? 

As seen with the Confederations Cup, VAR won't help, how can it when refs can't seem to agree with each other on certain decisions ? This is why the VAR system should be taken out of the refs hands. Let the managers or captains decide when to use it.

Cahill's was over the ball definitely a red card. Mustafi's was a strong tackle but it wasn't high, it was more similar to alonso's that for him a booking, which I thought was harsh.

Premier League should start working with a computer system, the 6th or 7th referee like Bundesliga.

Stoke did brilliantly to get in Jesé and Zouma, looking good for them.

Ozil did his disappearing act once again, he's a disgrace of a player.

[The Brit]

Just seen pogba's two challenges v Swansea...can't see much difference to Cesc last week..,but of course pogba isn't sent off and he goes on to score two, his header set up first and he passed for the fourth...

Always amusing to see Arsenal handed their reality check...what made them think after a penalty win in a friendly and a fortunate 4-3 home win over Leicester, that anything had changed?

Have you noticed how knackered he always looks ? Every time the camera has a look at him, he's sweating buckets. How the hell did he survive in Spain

When they scraped past City in the FA Cup Semi-Final last season they were suddenly Real Madrid after their annual mid-season sh*tfest.

Ozil is living off one good season as an Arsenal player. He's like Malouda was for us, but with less stamina- he always looks exhausted! 

[Boyne]

Claude and Ty carrying on from last season.

Mourinho usually yanks him off after an hour or so. I don't think he ever lasted 90+ mins at Real

Really think we missed a trick not signing Hernadez. I know, he doesn't link up well, can't hold the ball up, only good at scoring tap ins. But that's exactly what we are missing, someone score those cheap goals when we bombard the oppositions. He went to West Ham for god sake, surely we could have afforded him. There's always hope we could sign up for 40M next year after he scores 20 goals.

I thought that was why we had Pedro, although to be fair to Pedro he does score with the odd rocket!

[Zeta]

This Newcastle Huddersfield game is quite poor quality, both sides very sloppy with the ball.

[Floyd25]

Wenger refuses to admit that Lacazette was offside, doesn't matter how marginal it was, he was offside. Granted it was tight and the linesman may have gotten lucky, but he was offside. 

[PedroMendez]

We are 6 points behind Huddesfield everyone revolt 

[Tibbers]

Huddersfield look exciting

[Tibbers]

And Magpies, they returned to the Premer League so they can go back to the Championship again.

That would be awful, such a big club

I'm watching Barcelona and Deulofeu has just set up the first 2 goals......what is going on ? Is Deulofeu going to start being a good player now ? 

[DidierDrogbalala]

Real Betis have been really poor
