I can't think of a single reason why the ref didn't give a penalty (and probably send Holding off) last night.
It was pretty clear to all that he had handled it. Ref bottled it.
There were too many yellows dished out for minor things whilst other stuff went unpunished.
We're still shít in defence.
Still, some lovely, lovely football after that.
You on the pills, mate? I thought there was a case for the attacking player putting his arm across Holding and pushing him which made it accidental. And even if you don't buy that, not sure how that is ever a red card?Quote:

Had that been the case the ref would have given a foul against Holding, shirley?Quote:

The ref chose to ignore it completely.
It would (should) have been a second yellow, btw.
Why were Leicester allowed to take a free-kick for a foul 10 yards inside their half, 15 yards inside ours - that was a significant advantage. I doubt that little can't grow a beard prick Maddison can kick as far as the penalty area from our own half. Quite how Xhaka didn't **** the little **** will remain a mystery (though well done Granit for your discipline)Quote:

Sniveling little weasel that he is.
I thought Maddison did alright with the ball last night.Quote:

Ah, was not aware he was on a yellow. Still, I'm not buying this post match 'Arsenal were lucky'.Quote:

For 30 minutes Leicester were very impressive, I thought. Attacking and defending, there seemed to be about 15 of the f*ckers on the pitch. But for the last 60 minutes we were outstanding and completely dominated them.
Not sure how the MNF geniuses get that Leicester will walk away thinking they were unlucky. If I was them I'd walk away thinking it might have been 5-1 if Laca had his shooting boots on. :nod:
They were at it all over the pitch, tbf la.Quote:

****s to a man.
:nod: the frame of the goal 'belongs' to the defence imoQuote:

Cracking save by Leno just after from Maguire :love:
I agree with you, was shocked it wasn't given.... who knows how the game would have gone if that had been given, no guarantee they score anyway and it might have woken us up 10 minutes earlierQuote:

Penalty in the opposing box? Referee!!!!!!
of course, I was delighted it wasn't given.Quote:

and... it was certainly more of a pelanty than when Vardy ran into Monreal's leg a couple of years agoQuote:

Indeed. A clear sign that old man Wenger was losing it and a very close escape for us.Quote:
