I take it simpson will be banned for 2 games 1 for red card and 1 for totting up 5 bookings (although I thought that was zeroised on 1st january)
It was "zeroised" (cool word) on 1st Jan mate so he will only serve a 1 match ban unless he's been sent off before - plus the 2 yellows = 1 red means that he now only has 4 yellows. (Having Cattermole in my team means I know a lot about the yellow card ban rules!!)
 
Just got in.

Have to say that the majority of Arsenal fans really are laughable. They hounded the referee and his officials for every single decision and ultimately the man in yellow bottled it.

Again... Kante is, unquestionbly, world class. Our best player by a distance.
Absolutely - phenomenal player
 
Got to be Amartey in at RB for me. I don't want to point fingers too much but Wasilewski's stupidity at the end of the match should cost him his place there (he's also way too slow to play RB, and I want to see how the new lad does).
Im not so sure, what Wasyl doesn't have in pace, he has in experience, his positioning is probably why hes still here and not DeLaet.

I'd have him in at RB the next game, unless they see Amartey as good to go and is considered the better option from training sessions, what i certainly don't want is for Amartey to feel like he needs to make an impression and end up doing something stupid against Brady.

His experience goes out of the window when he has the opportunity to flatten someone.

... whilst Wasyl's decision making was really poor so was Drinky's seconds earlier when we had them in the corner at their end ... not sure what he was thinking when he leathered it across but that gave them the ball back when we should have just kept it in that corner ...
 
Ranieri had already said that Amartey would feature in the next match. Is he now clairvoyant as well? Is there no end to the man's talents!

..gutting... was sitting in North bank with the goons ..right on top of both Simpson yellows..both harsh ..ref definitely swayed by home fans baying ..couldn't see whether Mahrez should have had a pen from where I was ..but if it wasn't surely the ref should have booked him? ..amazing defensive resistance until giving away the most stupid of free kicks .
keep the faith ..
Not only that how did Coquilan stay on the pitch for shoving Mahrez twice during his substitution.... Raising hand etc ?

..Atkinson wasn't looking..but the lino was and should have said something..but with all those Gooners screaming in raging frustration the offials bottled it completely...

Any respect I had for Arsenal has gone after the behaviour of their players and fans yesterday. The only other of the top team with gracious fans seems to be Man City, didn't hear a peep from them after we beat them but Spurs were as bad after we beat them. All these southern softies are bitter even in victory! There's one on the Arsenal board, it goes by the name of Arsenal87 I think and if it believes half of the ****e it comes out with.....lets just say I don't have any concerns that it'll find this post as it won't have the brain power to navigate to our board in the first place! The refs need to be stronger against teams and fans like that as it just ruins the game

As I mentioned before, Arsenal have executives in the FA and no paper made a big fuss so nothing will happen.

Having the FA and referees in their pocket is the only way they can win anything. If they do win it, I hope Atkinson gets a winners medal!

... he's very well known on the 'General' prem board where some 'affectionately' refer to him as ArsenalIQ87 ... tells you all you need to know ... as said before was sat in with them yesterday ... in fairness they are probably no worse than any other 'partisans' ... some of the comments they were coming out with were ridiculous ... if any one of our players had done what Coquelin did to Mahrez as he came off the place would have gone into meltdown ... there was one guy behind me who did say to his mate that Atkinson now has a chance to even up the numbers ... but the officials completely bottled it ...

Now in fairness Drinky could have gone for the tackle on Ramsey ... but in the build up to our goal Okazaki was scythed down only for Atkinson to wave play on and we got the pen of course ... that should not have stopped the Arsenal player from getting a booking at least ... but I don't think Atkinson took any action ...

"Zeroised " perfect word especially made for you . If I was a Leicester fan I would be thinking less about being taken to the cleaners by poor officiating and opposing players and fans trying and succeeding to steer those officials around and focus more on the effort and professionalism displayed by your team .
Leicester were the best team by a long shot and it bodes well for the rest of the way .

The Arsenal team are an image of their manager - Look good but are nasty, hypocritical,whining,whingeing,arrogant,spoilt,shameless and gutless.

Not sure what for though> Both of Simpson's yellow cards were for yellow card offences. The first penalty (IMO) wasn;t a penalty and the second one was - evened itself up on the day - what about Drinkwater and Wasilewsky? Both red card offences that the ref didn;t send players off for so not exactly sure how you could possibly say he was pro Arsenal. Drinkwater's tackle was one of the worst I've seen this season and didn;t even get a free kick!

Maybe you should put up Defoes 2 offside goals and Naughton' straight red , that got overturned , against us . Should be a criminal offence for you to lecture anyone on officiating .....Zeroman ..lol

<yikes>Stalker alert!

Not going into our game with you as this is the Leicester board and I'd prefer to keep it on topic - happily put you right on our board or your own though.

We put some hard challenges it (which nobody would have blinked an eye at a few years back before it became a non contact sport) but that for me isn't as bad as unsporting behaviour like feigning injury, waving imaginary cards at the ref and getting in the refs ear. That red card for example, it that was against a side like Bournemouth, it wouldn't have been a sending off as it was so soft. A final warning should have been given but it was the Arsenal fans and players that scared the ref into giving it
 
why no yellow for the two handed push on Riyhad when being substituted. just a bit strange as it was seen by all
