Is there a pit at the Emirates?Originally Posted by Niall_Quinn
The ones at Stoke, West Brom, Norwich, etc. were custom-built, with barbed wire and human bones lining the walls. Wenger didn't see the advantage of that in a sporting arena. Wenger.
That has happened about once in a million games. And that's a facht.
I expect the letter of the law to be applied when a player slams his studs into the leg of another going over the ball. Any football fan would.
For a push while a player is walking off the field? A yellow is hardly ever likely to be produced. It's a moment in the game only those desperate to see a player punished would look for.
It all evens out in the end though right? Pity we have no idea where the start and end actually are.
Doesn't matter, it can still happen.
You seem to expect the letter of the law to be followed when it's a decision for us but not against us, like I said there were a number of decicions that could or could not have been given and others that should and weren't, trouble is you seem to be saying all the ones that were questionnable against us shouldn't, all those that were questionable for us shouldn't and the dead certs not given against us shouldn't and vice versa.
IMO 1st pen not a pen
2nd a pen
1st red card not a red
2nd a red
Definitely went against Leicester though as the 1st sending off left them down to 10 for a lot longer.
If you want to book/send off people and give penalties and fouls for every single little thing you'd have 14 players left on the pitch and 20 goals every match.
I don't think it was a penalty but I can see why it was given. My main problem is how 20 seconds earlier Morgan used Ozil as a climbing frame and atkinson did nothing. It was a clear free kick and he got it wrong.All the pundits including former Arsenal players think it's a penalty but because they do they are anti-Arsenal?
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.
Their red card was completely fair. It was a cynical foul for the second yellow, and he had got away with a bookable kick early in the first half on snachez. In fact leicester were lucky to end the match with ten men. Drink water should have gone for a shocking two footed lunge on Ramsey and Wasileski (or however you spell it) was very lucky only to be booked for the foul on monreal at the end, it was borderline red.
Leicester have nothing to whinge about, Mahrez dived and should have been booked. Atkinson is an appalling referee, he lost all control of the game today and seemed to make up the rules as he went along. Kante handballed in the penalty area very early on and got away with it. His arm was out from his side when it hit him, its handball and a penalty. Leicester did what all teams seem to do against us, cynical foul after cynical foul. They deserved all they got.
Saw the replay on Sky, they clearly showed his foot being caught which that replay doesn't catch (it was a close up).
It's a clever replay hiding the small but important bits that happened I'll give you that.

Also I'm really glad wenger listened to the media and didn't pick Mertesacker because his lack of pace would be exposed by vardy.
I mean, all these pundits and journalists couldn't have been wrong could they? I mean these pundits supposedly played the game for years so would know that a good defender like Mertesacker rarely gets himself in a position where he is exposed.
Was great to see a reaction today anyway, I'm sure as Arsenal fans we're all pleased about the result and can look forward to the game at Old Trafford after we put Hull away.
Ox is looking a little better game by game and a goal for Theo can't have hurt. Coquelin should be back permanently and his partnership with Ramsey looked ok today.
Chambers also looked quite assured when he came on but we just need Alexis to start clicking into place. Ozil was not good at all but keeping him on was justified for that one delivery at the death.
Hopefully Cazorla might make the subs bench for the Utd game and we have some options on the wings now too. Time for Bif to be out on the subs bench too.
He wasn't, but thats what world class players do. They have a bad game but they produce that one moment where they place a perfect free kick right on the strikers head to score the winner. Thats why they are world class. They deliver just when needed. Ozil did that today
