Match Reaction vs Man City (away).

[JonasTC]

Transfermarkt are giving 8 assists in the league which i trust more >_< Anyway, he might have been a bit anonymous in some games, but so far he is still keeping up his Real Madrid average, which is pretty good considering the things you mention aswell.

[Master Splinter]

It's definitely 7 assists, plus 2 in the CL (versus Napoli and Marseille). They might be counting his parried free-kick against Stoke.

[JonasTC]

I think FA gave him that one aswell? Because he did get 3 assist from that game as far as i remember. But i guess it doesnt mather which one is right, my real point in the comment, was that he's still keeping up is goal/assist pr. game average from Real Madrid

Bendtner was just offside and I know we would be fuming if we conceded a penalty like. Didn't it bounce up off his thigh onto arm.

If people get so angry about officials agents blatter other fans players. Think they need to watch another sport. Football is only a game.

So it's better to just abandon a sport you've been following for decades than call out an obviously corrupt bloke like Blatter? Or do you deny the latter too, in the interests of keeping your nose pressed to the ground? If everyone used your model to tackle corruption the everything would eventually be corrupt.

Bendtner was not offside, danish media made a huge deal about it because he scored vs a big team.

[BOBN]

Do you know how many assists he got last season, despite playing in a prolific goalscoring team?..........

The ref's may well be incompetent but not corrupt. I that is probably a step too far.

I thought that the pen appeal though we had a case, could have been seen as a harsh decision. It is a fundamental polemic that if you genuinely do not mean to handle the ball with your arm yet stop the ball reaching a player who might score....should it be a pen? I don't know specifically what the rules intimate here but I'm actually undecided.

I thought Bendtner was almost definitely offside, although I haven't watched the Danish' analysis on it! Giroud's I thought was legitimate but a tough call to make.
The two offside attacks that went against us, were easier decisions in my view.

I was interested to note that little has been made of Lukaku being offside in the lead up to Everton's goal the other day. Unless I am missing something which is quite possible....

On Ozil, Wilshere and Cazorla, let's look forward to seeing more from 3 very talented players who's best we have not seen yet. That is a positive. Sooner rather than later though, please.

[Marc Overmars]

Wheelchair facing a 2 game ban but he's going to appeal.

Nice long Christmas break for him then

[Letters]

Yeah, good idea to appeal. It's not like it's on camera or anything.
