So that was a nice payoff. Goal plus wipe out the threat on the flank. Only downside to the tactic is you need the ref to play along. No problems this time though, the ref was well up for it.
Can you imagine is Xhaka had done that,
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Danny Mills is an even bigger one. Having to listen on 5 live was not enjoyable. Managed to catch the last 15 mins on the box, we had 2 clear cut chances and hit both at keeper. Just seems to sum us up against Chelsea.
Phew. Only 1-0 at half-time.
We've been unlucky. Clear foul for their goal. Probably not a red, but definite foul. Bellerin completely poleaxed.
Let's get welbeck on and see if we can rescue something in the second half.
And Sky beyond pitiful in their bias against us. Let's see how they rationalise an elbow to the head in the usual half time drivelfest.
Suppose they'll talk about how Bellerin doesn't like it up 'im. Or maybe criticise Bellerin for getting his head in the way of an elbow.

Oh the just went with a straight apology on Alonso's behalf. Perfectly fair because Alonso looked at the ball. So bring a machine gun on, waste the opposition but keep your eye on the ball.
Clear fucking foul and very dangerous play. 100% would have been blown if it was down the other end.

Pretty much what they said. "He only had eyes for the ball (while the pictures show him planting his elbow in bellerin's face)."
Post truth age. The only truth is sky. Fucking terrifying really when you think about it.
Time for our sorry bunch to come back and shove it down everyone's throats. Go and restore some credibility in the second half.
I was going to say that ironically we could do with Giroud in this game. But of course he'd just be fouled out of it and the ref would give nothing. And we wouldn't play with pace down the flanks to utilise him anyway. So scrub that. Get Welbeck on and we'll have to try and thread a needle through the middle.

It wasn't intentional and when someone is slightly under the ball whilst their opponent has the advantaged of a running jump, there will be contact. We need to get over it. I'm more concerned with how our CB's are being dragged out of wide positions in order for that to happen. If I'm being honest with myself, if we had scored that way and had a goal ruled out, I'd feel hard done by.
Can't agree with that I'm afraid. This isn't the seventies when you could push a goalkeeper into the net and claim a goal. There are rules. Except they don't seem to apply to Arsenal.
