Milan derby.
Player goes down holding his face despite nothing happening. Play continues.
Opposition player goes down holding his face despite nothing happening! <laugh> ****'s sake.
 
Woolwich`s time wasting was pathetic, if the officials did their jobs properly there would have been another 10 minutes of added time and a good chance Captain Scarlet`s con men go on to lose the match. As for Lego Head, what a classless whinging mug.
 
Ref gives a penalty in the Milan derby for handball. VAR tells him to have another look, he does and he overrules his initial decision.
Whole thing took about 30 seconds and the correct decision was made. Why can't we have that over here?
 
Mate, come on.

We had to play an entire half with 10 men, away from home, against arguably the best team in Europe, having had less recovery than our opponents after flying out to Bergamo. You were expecting us to go toe-to-toe with a man less? It'd have been suicidal.

7/9 points from Villa Park, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and The Etihad is a very, very impressive return.

The criticism from fans is probably because arteta whines louder than a fox on heat whenever a team wastes time against him.
 
Regardless of him being a rapist, he sets up to block Haaland like a linebacker. What did he expect? He was asking for it. <whistle>

He’s since completed the set too:
Lobs ball at Gabriel
Flattens the rapist
Tells Arteta to stay humble
Calls Jesus a ****ing clown

Haaland is the hero we all needed but didn’t deserve.

There's a difference between doing it 11v11 and doing it 11v10 (against the best possession side in the world). If we were wasting time 11v11, then it's fair criticism. The circumstances and dynamics change when you have a man less. What did you expect to happen, exactly?

And despite us (bizarrely) being ridiculed for it, a draw at The Etihad is a good result at the best of times, let alone when you've had an entire half with a numerical disadvantage.

You did it against us from the first kick-off. You did it against City from the start, too. You've done it in every game.

Four centre-halves, two holding midfielders, no striker, playing for set-pieces and slowing the game down. Paella Pulis.

This is disingenuous based on the fact that 3 of the opening 5 fixtures were away from home against the top-5 teams from last season and 2 of the 5 games we've played we were down to 10 men.

We have a run of games now that are more favourable. Let's see where we rank after the next round of matches.
