The amount of guff I've read regarding Velts challenge is ridiculous. It just isn't a red... Not enough force or intent to warrant a red card. his calf catches Rice near the knee., i don't think his foot even touches Rice. It certainly could have been a yellow, but Rice's playacting probably...

I think there is little to no chance of an actual meaningful points deduction in that scenario. They might accept 6-9 to appease the clubs which have been forced to accept pts deductions.

Hard to say. We've had a lot of luck so far this season. If we continue to have the same amount of luck and our new signings are as good as hoped then yes, we will be a threat to top 6. Bu I doubt it will play out like that.

It was clearly off - but Pedro was chasing it and didn't quite catch it, kicked out in frustration - not a deliberate attempt to waste time. He kicked it avbout half a second after it went out. The ball went straight to Raya, who could have thrown it off the pitch if an Arsenal player had...

Exactly this. The Rice card is because of the actions after the ref has awrded a freekick. There is no grey area in that one. Plenty of grey with Pedro's kick No whistle No attempt to restart made by Arsenall No time wasted Arteta started the gaslighting, by pretending it was the same...

Yeah typical twitter fake news I think it's true that Arsenal have had 17 since Arteta took over and LIVERPOOL have had 7. That has become no one else has had more than 7, to suit this particular argument. I have spent way too much effort explaining stuff to Arsenal fans this week.

Well there goes my go to 2nd guess - when i just have a yellow third letter from my first go. Wordle 1,173 2/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Bruno used to play that pass to Knocky twice a game. Only he would have curled it around Rice and put knocky through.

Exactly. If Rice had let it hit him. then Kavanagh could have had the "common sense" chat with both of them to calm things down. Rice took that away by committing the offence which has been selected as this season's naughty step.

And that podcast is f***ing awful

Agree with all of this. We definitely got a a favourable decision. But all of the players were told that Refs were clamping down on delaying a restart. Veltman was clearly paying more attention during the PGMOL presentations than Rice was.

The problem is, that the top teams get preferential treatment to keep them safe until the 4th round.

Amazing how few people , that make a living from commenting on the game, actually know and understand the laws of the game. I'll concede that on first viewing I didn't think Rice's action warranted a yellow. It was only when it was clarified that this was specifically highlighted to clubs by...

Can't stand listening to Souness's opinions. He' s such a dinosaur. "That's because you never played the game". It isn't the same game anymore, you idiot.

a great many pundits and posters who agree with Rice's red card often counter it with "Of course, Pedro should also have been booked". Why? He's chasing a ball that goes out of play and he boots it in frustration. No Arsenal player is looking for a quick throw in and the ball is dead. Ref...

Simple financial facts for all established content providers. Agree with entitled big 6 and see the £s roll in form monetised interractions.. Disagree with entitled big 6 and see your platform unfollowed and reduced income.

In my experience, assistant referees are far better at flagging offsides quickly for the other 14, than they are for the Big 6. Saturday's game was very similar to the Spurs away game for that. First half. lino lets Arse play on for 3 obvious offsides. 2nd half, flag went straight up for the...

yep. I made the mistake of engaging with some of them on Twitter. Jesus, they are an entitled bunch of twats. Less than 1% of them are prepeared to blame Rice for the red card. The rest are obsessed with whether the ball was moving or not and claiming corruption. Old-timer refs like Hackett...
