Match Reaction Norwich

[Kano]

why does everyone care how far away the linesman is? all that matters is he saw it, surely? he's no further away than usual so if he can give an offside for a player on the other side of the penalty area, why can't he for a pen?

anyway, good comeback, great result. pod and theo have to start on tuesday.

and fuck off tony gale you whinging hammer Ćunt.

We cant complain about the refereeing, the first goal came about through a corner that shouldn't have been given, while the 3rd goal was offside. We got lucky today, and tbh we need to improve for the last few games of the season because we're not going to get the rub of the green in every match.

...and their goal came from a very dodgy foul called against Gibbs.

I'm enjoying this.

Pathetic.

It's pronounced 'Errrrrrsenal'.

Glory Glory gem.

Was only the other day I was trying to remember why I hate Warnock so much. I remember now, it's because he's a complete dickhead.

What's their argument here? The linesman's at fault for getting it right because he's 50 yards away?

Yep, hardly touched him.

"Passion" is all well and good but in a match reaction thread there's no harm in pointing out that the performance was actually rather mediocre. Against Everton, Utd etc this sort of a performance will see us lose.

no but i'd expect that some time after. not as a first response. would be pretty miserable sitting next to you at the stadium.

We all know the performance was shite.

But we're feeding off the late entertainment and the few thrills and spills and the bit of controversy and Tony Gale crying like a slapped up bitch, the stuff that compensates for the otherwise shit state of affairs. Doesn't happen very often, take it when you can get it.

'85; '88; '90. LOVE IT.

There's no question that Tony Gale is a **** though. Thankfully I was listening to Russian commentary so didn't have to hear his bullshit. I think his main problem with Arsenal is the number of foreign players in the team. Wouldn't surprise me if he voted UKIP tbh.

[Unai Tea]

Yep, hardly touched him.

It's not that...it's the fact that Gibbs was running one way and the clumsy oaf from Norwich ran behind Gibbs and fell tripped on the back of Gibbs' feet. Complete bollox. And that same ref was happy enough to let Giroud be pulled down in the box as he was looking right at it and started to trundle away before the linesman with a sack actually made the correct call.
