Match Reaction v Fulham

[Cripps_orig]

Like i said, i can see why the Gervinho foul wasnt given. I didnt think it was a foul either and i usually go with my first instinct. Yes seeing the replays at a certain angle suggest its a penalty but it was impossible for the referee to see that and he has one look at it.

He didnt have the best of games but hes not the one who chucked one in. That was an inept keeper and hes not the one who took off the only attacking threat we had.

We were shit for the entire second half, Theo and Gerv were shit for the entire match and failed again to deliver what they are supposed to deliver. I agree, if we could have brought a proper threat off the bench it may have been different. But that's another issue best discussed with the board and their ongoing priorities.

It has nothing to do with the Board. If you're saying Gerv and Theo were that crap, Rosicky and Yossi should have helped us get the 3 points. Why didn't they? Technically, they are better players. Right?

Wenger also had the Ox on the bench, so why not bring him on. We've bought Park who can play out wide as well, where is he? Arshavin was on the bench as well. Wenger had attacking options and over the past few weeks we've seen off games like this. We haven't lost them. Bad subs, the sending off and poor goalkeeping cost us in the end. Gerv and Theo need to sort their game out but we had problem all over the pitch today. But Wenger made a tactical mistake with those subs. We could have seen this game out 1-0.

I don't have to explain it because that's not the case. We were just as crap in the second half when Theo and Gervinho were on the pitch. A few people (myself included) mentioned before kick-off we had nothing on the bench, so no surprise we couldn't change the game with the subs. As for the board thing, that goes back to some people continuing to claim that Wenger runs the club I suppose. But we all know that's not how it works in the real world. Fun argument, but fantasy.

Well that is the case cos it was obvious to anyone who watched the game. However it doesnt go with your Theo bashing hence you make up all the shit which admittedly is amusing.

And Wenger runs the team and the team is where the problem is

In an attempt to change things from the bench, Wenger turned the tie in Fulham's favour. All your focus is on Theo an Gervinho and you fail to mention Ramsey and Arteta. Just as bad IMO. Part of the reason why we were overrun.

I didnt think it was and neither did posters on the match thread as well as the ref.

We all got a 2nd look at it. The ref didnt.

Well i did, le tiss did, the replays showed he got his leg. If that was at the other end you know it would have been given.

Bullshit. If you're going to call him inept for that then you have to call Walcott inpet for a string of ineffective performances.
Chesney has, in general, been a good 'keeper for us. He made a mistake today, a few actually. He also made some good saves before that to keep us ahead. To say that overall he's inept is either idiotic or just plain WUMming.

After the replay maybe but the referee doesnt have the benefit of that.

Also speaking of which, whats with Wenger saying we dont get penalties? Why wouldnt we?

Well lets see in the last 3 or 4 games we have at least had 2 pens turned down in each game.
