Arsenal vs Chelsea (PL) Sunday 6th September 16:30 GMT

Yup, and that muppet Tim Sherwood saying Emi made to much of it.

Honestly, the levels of punditry and officiating are in the gutter.
They're paid to just agree with whatever the on field decision is. Its embarrassing and everyone sees through it.

 
They brought Zubimendi off the bench, we brought Malo Gusto off the bench. That's cheating, surely?
+ Bruno and Merino. I think I am starting to agree that it should be Scott + Wharton instead of one or the other.

Not sure why Alonso didn't bring on Barco, especially for some creativity, needing a goal.

 
I'm indifferent.

A part of me feels Rogers needs to be stronger there. Literally grabbed and tossed like a rag doll.

Rice and Lewis-Skelly getting away with cheap fouls Pep Guardiola would be proud of and not getting punished is what bothered me the most.

 
Ref watch deemed Gabriel was going for the ball when he kicked Emi in the head...surprise surprise.
Someone should pull them on that, because his foot was absolutely nowhere near the ball. The ball was on the ground ffs ... he knew exactly where the ball was ... it was practically between his own knees .. right in front of his f**king eyes !!!

 
That's now 43 consecutive Arsenal PL games without them being shown a red card (even for a second yellow) and 48 consecutive PL games without a penalty being awarded against them.

You can all do something about the people you find to be annoying, upsetting, tedious etc.

If you chose not to, then that's on you. That goes not only for those who comment every year insulting the negative posters, but all who like the posts when they do so.

 
Depressing, isn't it? You have to wonder how they make it through the day in the real world.
It always amazes me how some of you can make such sweeping statements about others when you know f**k all about them. This is why I never get personal with any of you unless you get personal with me, I know next to nothing about any of you outside of this place. I'm not going to judge your personality or you as a person based on your posts on a football forum.

Rogers did get up and carry on playing. But what is the point of VAR if it doesn't look at these things in the build up to a goal. As soon as Arsenal got the ball following that foul, they went upfield and scored. Ref missed a ton of this stuff except when it was anything that our players did. Another example was the deliberate trip from Rice on Rogers that lost him the chance to give Palmer an option in the middle on a promising attack. Not only was Rogers furious earning him a yellow, but you could see Cole wondered where his team mate disappeared to and then had to try a unlikely attempt from the angle. The inconsistent reffing was dreadful throughout the game.

Did he miss those things, or did he ignore them?

 
I disagree. Their substitutions had exactly that in mind, withdrawing the likes of Havertz and Odegard at a time that they were both clicking. It's just they also have a deeper bench than we do at the moment
Yes, you're right mate, I forgot about those substitutions, obviously made with the CL game in mind , bit depressing to realise how far behind them we are right now.

To be fair they only do what the match officials allow them to do. If they actually called them on it they would stop, but they don't so why would they stop?
