Congratulations on your win today, I think you're certain to get top 3. Good luck for the rest of the season.

 

Newcastle such a dirty team.

Huge deal being made from that Havertz tackle but Guimaraes literally elbowed Jorginho in the head.

 

Your player wants a fight he'll get one.

 

I think you need a GB flag in your profile name and a profile pic of you wearing an England shirt, with a pot belly and pint in your hand to be able to post stuff like that

 

I hate my country

 

Welcome to the list

 

You still think the refs robbed you guys?

The ball went out of play
And the goal was offside
Bruno shouldn't be on the pitch

VAR did their very best to hand Newcastle the points today. What a ****show

 

I don't really care tbh take the 3 points and move fwd.

Good luck for the season mate

 

I'm perfectly fine loosing when we get outplayed but that was just horrible reffing and game mismanagement.

Even with Partey, Jesus, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Timber missing.. we were the better side. (not that we played anywhere near our best)

Doesn't feel 'right' that result at all.

 

Did you create anything? A draw would've been OK buy when it's tight and you lose by 1 its not a robbery

 

It's a Robbery when you don't get given key decisions in the game though. The goal should NOT have stood.

Even Gary Neville (who ****ing hates us) said there was grass between the ball and the line.

Do you understand that the area of the ball that hits the turf isn't the full width of the ball?

 

Its not a beach ball mate.

 

From above it would look in

 

Nope

 

Is the word above the issue ?
It's impossible to tell if the entire balls over

 

I agree with this. Unless there's an actual birds eye view then benefit of doubt has to go to the attackers.

Was it a foul? Probably.

Was it offside? Still not really sure on the rules about ball moving forward or back, or players being behind or in front of the person playing the pass. The FA rules don't seem very clear either. Which presumably means Howard Webb can hide behind ambiguity.

Havertz definitely a yellow. Bruno definitely a red.

Whatevs. We played ****. Again. Play **** away at a top eight team and you won't do much but lose.

The most worrying thing for me is that watching arsenal this season has, more often than not, been boring. We've reverted back to the dull, turgid, slow football of 2-3 years ago.

Seriously need Timber back ASAP for LB, and then a proper CM next to Rice (Zubimendi) and a proper centre forward (Toney won't excite me, would rather Sesko).

 

I would say a draw would've been ok tbh.

Arsenal are no shrinking violets btw .. if either team had allowed the other yo bully them theyd have been rolled over.

It was a tough one.
