    Fair enough <laugh>

    But come on, you can't knock us for own goals, that's your own players fault. Btw Rooney's best scoring season for us that year iirc.

    Aye, I just remember it was weird as **** to get so many own goals in a season, it seemed whenever you were being held or were behind, the opposition would score an own goal and get you out of jail, was really irritating.

    It was the season after Ronaldo left, we had to replace his goals somehow <whistle>

    As usual Ponky you have totally missed the point

    Overall you should have won, BUT BUT BUT the overpaid underperforming halfwit donkey leading your attack completely ****ed up the three legitimate chances where you should have scored, therefor you didn't deserve the win

    Indépendant referees and pundits all stated the foul on Sarr WAS a free kick so no goal and all the football supporters on here have stated or agreed that you should have returned the ball to us regardless of wether you thought Tufan was seriously injured or not, and dont try any of your pathetic bullshit about why Rose put the ball out of play because your lot do at every opportunity as do most teams

    Lego head condemned himself with his post match interview

    I never thought I would actually say this but now if I had the choice of watching Arsenal or Burnley I would choose Burnley because for all their faults, the manager and players are honest compared to your lot

    Put it behind you mate, look on the bright side you're playing us next.

    Arsenal are cheating donkeys though, that's a given <ok>

    Didnt Arsenal do that **** a few years back, when someone was injured? In an FA Cup game, against, I wanna say Sheffield United, instead of giving the ball back to the opposition they took the throw in, ran on and scored and won the tie.
    In fairness I remember that they agreed to replay the tie and won it legit the second time around, but Arsenal have form for that snideyness

    Ronaldo will play out of his skin knowing our luck

    Are you hoping a bad day against us will be the final straw for Ole, if it is I hope someone photoshops his head into a polygon

    All Ponky had to say was he would have been pissed off if it had been the other way round, but he and Lego head have tried to justify it

    I also notice the other gooners haven't jumped in on this nor two of my neighbours who are usually all over it when we loose to them

    I wonder why

    I do remember when this agreement about allowing treatment first started, I can't remember the teams, the ball was put out of play, the goalkeeper was outside the 18 yard area waiting for the pass but the player who received the throw in scored a goal instead and ran around the pitch celebrating, the ref didn't know what to do but had to allow the goal so he spoke to both captains and from the kickoff the team that that had scored allowed the other team to run through and score

    That was in the good old days when sportsmanship counted as much as results

    Ponky needs all the wins he can get. We can all relate to that. Though most of us want to do it honourably like Watford and United <ok>

    Plus he still loves Arteta despite the ****ness. Won't hear a bad word against him <whistle>

    Mate the way we're playing and where our confidence is, I can see Ranieri outclassing Ole no probs.

    If you put the ball out for an injury, should you get it back? Have your say

    Interesting debate

    Look for the Arsenal part at the bottom

    On Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, Chris Sutton told a story about a game in which he was playing for Blackburn in 1997, again involving Arsenal.

    We were 1-0 down and Arsenal's Stephen Hughes got injured and they put the ball out, just to waste a bit of time with a minute to go," said the ex-striker. "He sat down and we all agreed as a team that we needed to get back into the game.

    "The throw-in came over Nigel Winterburn's head, I shut him down and he gave away a corner. It all kicks off.

    "We then score from the corner through Gary Flitcroft, who whacks it in the top corner and we're off celebrating.

    "Martin Keown [the Arsenal defender] was making threats at me for the next four minutes. I played on the left wing right by the tunnel and at full-time I sprinted off the pitch, up the tunnel, into the dressing room, into the toilet and locked the door. Keown was trying to get into the dressing room to get me."

    @Diego deadline has passed. I wonder if he called the Board to find out about Ole.

    BUT BUT BUT Rose should have been sent off. Objective fact. And if he'd have been of the pitch then Saka would have scored two with Ben White scoring a 30 yarder. Also fact. Ipso facto. Fact.

    Watford were lucky to only lose that game 1-0. But for a couple of fine margins it could have been 3-0 or 4-0

    Dug is moaning about Sarr going down, but it's nothing more than a coming together with AMN. He's also moaning about the throw in, but Watford chose to ignore their own injured player when they were on the attack <laugh>

    Also, when Rose puts the ball out, their player is getting to his feet anyway.

    Watford whingers.

    Leaving aside the throw in thing, you can’t surely deny that was a foul by Maitland-Niles? Come on mate, he just clattered him from the back, no challenge was made for the actual ball. It was 100% a foul and incredible that VAR didn’t correct the error.

    You might have deserved to win on the balance of play, but the facts are, Foster played superbly and your winner shouldn’t have stood bro.

    ****ing GoPro manchild **** him.

    I get the gripe about the foul. Rose putting the ball out of play there made little to no difference. At best he’s hoofing that slightly further up the line and out of play anyway.
