Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Why are the FA getting involved in the bottle incident?

The manager immediately apologised to the fan, and there was no intent, other than frustration on Emery's part. Another reason i hate the Prem and cameras continually monitoring everything inside grounds.

It happened, it was sorted, move on.

 

Whilst choosing to completely ignore Salah’s dive.

 

I never saw the match Tobes - but cheating constantly gets overlooked. I hated the introduction of VAR and in the World Cup it highlighted that the very system that was meant to stamp out cheating, actually encouraged it! Players would manipulate camera angles to appear they were fouled in the box etc.

If they really wanted to stamp out cheating there is a quick and effective way to do it. I think in NBA it is called a technical penalty/foul for unsportsmanlike conduct. It could be used for things such as diving, touching the ref or officials and result in a penalty to the opposing team.

The game has constantly sought of ways to make the game more exciting, so what better way to stop cheating in the game, without actually penalising the rougher aspect of the game, as this system would be applied to non personal fouls.

 

VAR would probably give the Salah foul, still not a foul for me though.

 

Former Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has died at the age of 82.

He became chairman in 1982 and presided over the appointments of George Graham and Arsene Wenger as managers and they won five league titles, five FA Cups, the League Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup between them.

Who?

Does this mean we are having another black arm band day FFS!

 

Yes, silence for 80 minutes, so no difference at arsenal then

 

Had put him in my fantasy foodie team for Poohbar and was starting to think I'd ****ed up ... have also had Ricardo Pereira in from the start and he has paid handsome dividends ... what a strike against Citeh ...

 

I put him in 6 weeks or so ago and he's got me loads of points.

 

Got him and Chilwell in as full backs and Maddison in midfield ... front 3 of Kanye, Vardy and Auberginemeringue ....

 

My front three are Rashford, Aboomerang and Kanye

 

That bottle can out-wum you, mate.

 

Speaking from experience there HIAG ? It won't surprise anybody that you've been outwitted by an inanimate plastic object.

You didn't even know how a dildo worked

 

The Hill-Wood family had been at Arsenal for donkey's years. They were good custodians of the club, but I'm glad things have moved on now. Shame to hear about Peter Hill-Wood. I remember when his father Dennis died some years ago too.

 

Ironic coming from someone who rims Spurs on a regular basis, I wanted Mourinho out for a while actually.

 

It’s the double standards that winds me up. One of our players - Niasse, was the first player to be retrospectively banned after a supposed dive to win a penalty last season. It was a less obvious dive than Salahs on Boxing Day. He got a 2 match ban, as he was a low profile player, playing for a middle of the table side.

But high profile Salah playing for top of the table Liverpool gets **** all.

Either have a rule or don’t, but selective bias based on the potential uproar is pure bullshit. As if they’d have rightly given him a 2 match ban the RS would have been screaming consssppiiirrraaacccceeeeeeeee from the rooftops. ‘We’d have wun da league if it wasn’t for the bent FA yanno’

 

we have 10 players out injured, of our frontline, Yarmalenko, Arnautovic & Lanzini are out, Perez is 4th choice, but had to play up front as the 3rd choice was at RB because 3 of the 4 other players that can play there were also injured and the 4th is Rice, who is our easily our best DM (and CB). Our early season form was due more to a lack of familiarity of the players.

 

Must mean a band for 10 minutes then?

 

Where as it's you shouting about consssspppiiiirrraaaccccceeeeee on every ****ing thread...

Remember when Moyes called out Suarez as a diver before the derby and the only **** booked for diving was Everton captain Phil Neville
