[Albion] Premier League 21-22/9/24

[Eeyore]

Utter HUMDINGER of a game that.

 

[BBassic]

That was great.

 

[Javeaseagull]

So not Juve then

 

[Eric the meek]

That was a siege. I thought Arsenal did very well to keep it to 2-2.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Well that got fruity at the end

 

[BBassic]

Normally I’d agree with that, but I find this Arsenal side so detestable I almost want City to score.

Nah, f*** City. They are the cancer eating away at the bones of football.

 

[Seagull58]

Wonderful! The Arse plastics will go mental on Fascist Twitter.

It was daft for him to challenge like that on a yellow, just like the Hudson-Odoi challenge was daft.

The second yellow was for kicking the ball away, not the challenge

 

[Seagull58]

During a break in play Arteta on the pitch talking to his players - he was not shown a red card.

The rules don't apply to the Spanish, black-clad goblin.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Keane calling out City, saying they were rubbish against 10 men...And of course he is absolutely right. As good as Arsenal 's 9 man defence was, City were poor at trying to break them down.

 

[Bozza]

The massive positive about Trossard's sending off is Arsenal fans can finally move on from RiceRedCardGate.

 

[London Irish]

Has to go down as a tactical win for Arteta still.

Watching the St Pauli Red Bull game and the St Pauli fans have put up the biggest banner I’ve ever seen in a stadium calling Leipzig the “enemies of football”

 

[Motogull]

Today's games. 2-2, both away teams down to 10, both saw teams going behind then going ahead before drawing.

A good day to be a neutral in front of the TV.

They've clearly never played Aston Villa. Nor Newcastle.

Wow, even dafter then

 

[NSC viewer]

I don't. Detestable team.
Naturally again though the goal was scored with about 2 mins of injury time to go and they played approximately 10 seconds after the goal. Drives me absolutely mad.

Absolutely this. Time wasting always pays. I think Raya wasted about 5 of the first 10 minutes in the second half, probably double that through the half and that’s without including the ‘injuries’ to Raya, Martinelli, Havertz & Calafiori.

Ref didn’t book anyone for time wasting that i remember. Until they start doing that and keepers like Raya, Martinez, Pickford, etc start missing 3 or 4 games a season because they’ve accumulated 5/10/15 yellows then they’ll keep doing it as there’s no consequence. Managers might stop their keepers doing it if they started missing big matches. Premier League should clampdown on it like kicking the ball away. Hate all this shitehousery (even when our players do it) and Arsenal are one of the worst teams for it but all the time fans and pundits glorify it then it will continue. Rant over!!!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I almost feel sorry for Arsenal..

Said no one ever. Absolutely bloody marvellous

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Wonderful! The Arse plastics will go mental on Fascist Twitter.

They'll be balling in Hassocks, Tidemills, Portslade, Jevington, Trinity Trees, St Leonard's Warrior Square, Hangleton, Aldrington, Alfriston, Goring, Bishopstone....

 

[Triggaaar]

So Trossard gets a second yellow for kicking the ball away. I wonder if Micah Richards will say it's the worst decision he's ever seen this time

Twat.

100%. As I've said elsewhere we had one season where refs actually occasionally added on the appropriate time and the players and managers whinged so it stopped. No one gives a monkeys about the supporters who pay their money. For the 1000th time, being a ref is incredibly difficult but stopping and starting the watch is incredibly easy - how they fail to do this simple task correctly beats me.
