    I understand it between different refs to a degree as almost every single rule is subjective so your bound to get different perspectives from different people.

    No excuses whatsoever for such inconsistency from the same ref in a single match though.

    Small margins ...

    Fatawu ...

    Our divvy clearly didn't watch the footage from the two games last season (or chose to ignore it - which would be even worse) ... and your divvy didn't have an effective strategy to deal with him ... again despite having seen what he did against you last season...

    Fatawu would have inhibited Walker-Peters attacking down our right in the first half whilst also providing the threat that was obvious when he came on ...

    Having him and Mavididi on the flanks, Buonanotte as the playmaker and Vardy up front means we carry a real goal threat - which gives us a fighting chance ... Great keeper also helps...

    Yeah knew he'd cause problems when he came on and didn't help that Martin decided to put Fraser (a championship level winger) up against him instead of Taylor (a PL level CB).

    Is that the league done now with Arsenal losing?

    Have they blown it?

    Obviously not. They’re four points off at worst with Pool at home next week. They probably won’t win the league because their squad overall will fall short but they aren’t out of it. Nobody is that great this season IMO.

    No mate, they will recover then bottle it again on the last day as per usual.

    I think Sterling has played four games now and not scored, he got one in the Mickey Mouse Cup, so at least he's found his level now.

    VVD just out paces the Bournemouth lad no worries.

    Saliba for some reason doesn't try that just grabs him and trips him by running through the back of his legs.

    Arsenal are really missing the basketball player that like swearing in refs faces.

    3rd is the best they can hope for this season

    Genk just have to hold on to their lead for 5 mins for me to win £150 on a £10 bet on a 9 fold
    Picked Celtic, Genk, Bayern, PSG, Real and AC Milan to win, just Genk to go, winning 3-2 in the 88th minute

    yeah but Bet365 pays out early on a win if your chosen team takes a 2 goal lead.
    Cos Celtic were 2-0 up, I got the win. Oh and Genk won so I just got £150 <party>
