    But you've got to admire the way Arsenal beat up on the rubbish (including us!), they fail against the good teams.

    Theyve got some good young players and they’re moving towards getting them playing more regularly and I think it’s the right call.

    Similar to us they’ve got lot of overpaid dross and spent woefully in recent years but if they can get by for a while with the youth and then add some smart buys they could be back challenging for the top four again.

    They also get away with ludicrous **** all the time. This, for example:

    No card. It's an obvious red. Bent as ****.

    He’s one of those overpaid dross players that I mentioned though, whilst he still regularly plays they’ll struggle when it really matters.

    So hopefully he keeps his spot.

    Southampton have an average squad performing badly and a crap manager, so should be included.

    They'll get utterly annihilated by someone soon, then go on a decent run. As is tradition.

    **** me, that's terrible. Anyone involved in officiating that decision has no business being an official. Appalling.

    Andre Marriner with Michael Oliver on VAR, for anyone taking notes.
    Both routinely ****.

    I said the same on the (very late) matchday thread. I was amazed he got away with it. It was a terrible challenge and was wholly unnecessary. We were 3-0 up and in control of the match. Why put in a petulant tackle like that?

    The only thing I’ll say is one of the Leeds players did a similar challenge on Tomiyasu afterward and, although he got booked, should also have been sent off. Both were horrible attempts at tackles.

    Because he's a moron and he gets away with it most of the time.
    Should be sent off far more often than he does and he already gets reds quite a lot.

    The likes of Citeh desire the likes of Kane for those
    important games where the margins of victory are
    fine and you need someone clinical/reliable for those
    meagre opportunities that arise.

    Chelski complaining about playing. They seem to have four players out. Apparently it's only a 'thing' to be discussed by the media when it happens to certain clubs.

    Alan Shearer: Standard of refereeing is not acceptable.

    The BBC have posted this alongside a 45-minute podcast about match officials walking away from the sport.
    I can't think where people get the impression that getting in the ref's face and abusing him is ok... <whistle>
