All the pundits including former Arsenal players think it's a penalty but because they do they are anti-Arsenal? :lol:

People on here don't seem to be able to accept others have their own opinion, they've played the game at the end of the day so know enough about it.

Fact is even if that wasn't one (Monreal was reckless and you can see how that was given to be honest) the 2nd one they didn't get was and the sending off was very harsh and pretty much handed us the game in the end, so not sure why there's still whingeing about this.

We won and the turning point was pretty much the sending off, Leicester fans have a lot more to whinge about than us.

WTF?

It was a fully deserved 2nd yellow.

Both Vardy and Mahrez cheated. It was very clear. I thought the red was harsh, but on the other hand other Leicester players got away with plenty and Drinkwater certainly should have seen red. Mean while the handball in the box was a certain penalty and the shirt pulling on Giroud was another. A decent ref would have awarded us 2 pens, Leicester none and sent off one Leicester player plus booking for Vardy and Mahrez for cheating. The replays will show this clearly so it's uncertain why ex-footballers can't see it. Possibly a case of monkey see, monkey do.

There's a huge difference between being experienced at something and then being able to succinctly analyse it. Which is why 99% of pundits are full of shit and roll out tired out cliches. Players can tell us what it takes to be a player and their mindset but when it comes to taking apart a section of play, forget about it. They'd rather take the splinters up their arse sitting on the fence than offend anyone of note.

The ref levelled things up later when Drinkwater mistook Ramsey's leg for a football. But then again, I'm sure he didn't mean it, he's not that type of player, not a malicious bone in his body. So things levelled out there.

Not really surprised that's your opinion tbh.

Most people agreed it was harsh however.

We won and in the end had the rub of the green, as I've said before decisions even themselves out.

You should try your hand at being a pundit.

The lads gave 100%, it's nip and tuck all the way and it'll go right down to the wire.

Not quite levelled out in terms of the sending off as there's happened early on in the 2nd half whereas the other one would have been much later but no matter.

Dixon's opinion was:

Quote:

He sticks his foot into a tackle and misses the ball. Im afraid wether we are all Arsenal fans or not its a pen

He stuck his foot into a tackle and missed the ball the foot was there Vardy doesnt have to avoid it

That's his opinion and the guy knew how to defend and would know when it should or shouldn't be a penalty, the fact everyone other than Arsenal fans agreed tells you a lot, they have no reason to be anti-Arsenal.

As I said on the match thread, people on here are heavily biased with decisions, which is fine but don't then be surprised and call people names when they disagree.

Right ok, if punishing a player's stupidity is harsh than so be it. The guy was already on a yellow so he should've known better.

How did Mahrez cheat? His foot was clearly caught in the replay, with regards the first yes Vardy went into Monreal but Monreal mistimed his challenge and didn't pull away and thus gave the ref a decision to make. If you mistime a tackle you leave yourself open to a decision going against you at the end of the day.

Haha just enjoy the moment, there really is no point in following football if you can't.
