I didnt see the second half but what’s this about Henderson allegedly making racist comments to Gabriel?
Stories in the papers today seem to say it was him and FA is looking into this.

Rumours he also said "Rape" stuff to Thomas Partey too.
Aye, I kind of knew Tomi would put in a decent showing as he is "Mr Consistent". Ben White has really pleased me this season though, he is actually growing into his role at right back, he was very good again yesterday, especially offensively in the second half.
If he didn’t say anything racist and the comments were mainly directed towards/about Partey surely this is fair game ?
Apologies for the sub standard thread. I'm on holiday, so not around much. Watched the game in Spanish which is significantly better than listening to it in English, given I barely understand it. I've long said we should absolutely have a 'crowd noise' option with no commentary. Anyway...
Brilliant win and, frankly, performance. An early goal is great but in a weird way it can upset the game plan and rhythm a little, which I think we saw a bit of yesterday I also think their shape with 4 forwards caused some confusion in the centre of the park with so many options for them in 'unatural' positions outside. But fair play to Arteta again as he clearly made adjustments at half time and the second have was very very good.
Ramsdale 7...did as expected with none of his early season jitters present.
Tommy...7 strange choice at LB but solid and Salah being subbed, given the problems he's caused Arsenal for years was testiment to Tommy.
Gabriel...5 he's a bit of a problem. Wouldn't mind him being dropped for a while. White into CB.
Saliba...5.5 thought he could've done better on both goals, tbh
White...7 was actually impressed. I'm not a huge fan of his, at all, but delighted if he can prove me wrong and those types of performances are great. Nothing flashy. Just good. He's never going to offer anything going forward but that's on Arteta, not White.
Partey...7 "you see, he's not a machine, he's man..." difficult first half for reasons outlined above but great in the second half. This team is mid table without him
Xhaka...6 even thinking back now I can't actually recall much of him...which is probably a good thing.
Saka...5 absolutely anonymous other than 2 touches but that's a massive improvement on his usual complete anonymity, tbf.
Jesus...7 just a good player. Done a lot of work and always wants the ball.
Martinelli...9 starting to put some end product to his otherwise phenomenal game. Was going to get a 9.5, the highest official rating of the season but lost half a point for the moustache. Fuckin ridiculous.
Arteta...continues to prove the doubters, which I'm one of, wrong. I still don't see the logic in a lot he does but I don't suppose I need to. Will be ready to pounce when he fucks up though, obvs.

Does it expend a lot of energy being such an utter cunt all the time or is it so baked in to who you are that it’s effortless?
Dermot Gallagher believes our penalty against Liverpool shouldn’t have been given and that they should have had one.
For what it’s worth, I disagree with him about our penalty, he admits the player catches Jesus and didn’t get the ball so I’m not sure what his argument is
I think the Gabriel incident was a penalty, arms were in an unnatural position.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining, it’s nice to get some dodgy decisions go in our favour. And after last weeks very soft red card it looks like we are getting incidents go our way. The Arsenal fans who have for ages stated that there are conspiracies against us have been somewhat quiet though.
Dermot Gallagher even in retirement he's still a C**t.
Gabriel Martinelli is a special player, he really is.
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.
