Match Reaction v Burnley (away).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dominating the game, should be way clear. Then do something fucking ridiculous and then it's a scrap thereafter.

Makes the Leicester win a waste of everyone's time.

[IBK]

Shit game, shit pitch, shit Xhaka cock up, shit VAR penalty decision, shit team line, up shit subs (apart from Pepe), shit result.

[Gooner23]

Mid table mediocrity.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Xhaka should never play for this club again.


Also who ever was operating VAR needs to be sacked. How the fuck wasn’t that handball a penalty

The handball rule is complete bullshit but I've seen them given for that sort of thing this season.
What's the point in VAR if it doesn't bring about some consistency? It got the Burnley red card right though tbf

[Gooner23]

That first handball has to be a pen based on previous decisions this season. Wouldn't be against it changing in the future as it's played at point blank range, but that's not the point.

Don't know if all fans say this about their team, but we really have no luck whatsoever with the VAR decisions.

The PGMOL have come out and said it wasnt a penalty because of proximity to the ball.

That’s fine to a certain extent but in this case it isn’t. On the replay, the Burnley player takes several steps towards the ball and as he moves, his arm goes out. That’s a penalty and proximatity is irrevlant as he sticks his arm out as he moves.


But then again, if the PGMOL are saying having your arms out wide isn’t handball if you stand close to the ball, all defenders might as well do that going forward.

This

all of it

[LDG]

A team built around a bang average midfielder/captain who costs us every other match.

Why!? Watching him standing on the ball and trotting about like a horse out to stud is like pulling teeth. Transitions from the back to front are slower than track and trace. He’s not a pivot, he’s a rusty hinge. Cunt

And the one time in his Arsenal career Willian is playing “alright” he’s substituted and the player who was about to get sent off, and who is having a stinker doesn’t get replaced!
