The one who constantly called the ref English…! Very biased whoever he was and clueless. That was also a bad studs up foul on Welbs at the end and we should have had a free kick right on the edge.
Great result with so many obvious gaps in the team. Was getting incensed with how open we were down our left. Igor’s positioning and lack of pace were poor. Darren England the homer too.
Agreed. They weren’t even near their best either but a lot went for them too. They barely got out of third gear. At least their fans were horrifically quiet I guess - can’t be fun winning every week by huge margins…
We’ve been shite for a while and RDZ has irritated many with some of his comments. I hope he stays and proves his worth. If he doesn’t - he’s just another part of our history but nowhere near legend status. Calls to sack him are ludicrous and from a very, very small minority of course.
I hold both these viewpoints - as it’s pretty much obvious to anyone watching the game. No complaint on the result whatsoever. But I will complain about the bias. I’m just glad it wasn’t in a normal prem game when we were competing tbh.
Need a class right back, 2 CM who are up to it and experienced and a CF too maybe. There’s prob half a dozen who can go. We didn’t replace Caicedo and Mac properly - we weren’t expecting replacements as good but what we got was so far off them in terms of settled PL ready ability. However, the...
Can’t fault the effort tonight from any of the players. Don’t get what people expect. Let alone the huge gulf in squad cost and wages, the attached kind of gave a clue how it would go no?
Well done to those that turned up (shouldn’t need to say this sadly) and those who gave spare tickets away to those who would enjoy it with them of course. But especially well done to those who sang the great escape for 15 mins at the end and then clapped the lads off. Loyal supporters 👏👏👏👏
Exactly this. Arsenal officials were bad but this was even worse. We deserved to lose both games by a couple but it was absolutely clear big 6 bias for all to see. It will barely get mentioned of course.
Clearly a kids notice for parents… But think palace fans have sunk to new lows photoshopping signs to try and take the piss out of a club miles ahead of them and better in all areas 🤦🏻♂️
Yes, he did. He also apologised and has said what a model professional he is. Why have you answered a question with a question - I was just asking why you said he was a waste of space off the pitch?
Why off the pitch? I’ve never heard anything. In fact the complete opposite. Patrick Bamford cited him as the nicest guy in football on his podcast with Joe Wilkinson. Pep constantly said what a model professional he is. Always seems a decent fella - am I missing something?
Official site commentator said surprised VAR didn’t overturn it as got the ball… mmm… if the rule is about taking the ball, it’s def no pen. Not as clean cut as some on this thread are suggesting for me - I’ve changed to no pen. That said, the ref was biased as f*** and couldn’t wait to give it.
The official site and other outlets making a thing of it and Lamptey saying he thought he got some of the ball - nobody really knows the interpretation of the rules do they 🤷🏻♂️ it’s very odd.
