Martin Samuel just wrote an article claiming it wasn't even a foul :-) I was mildly surprised VAR did not tell him to review it. Thought the ref...

Your last sentence is telling. How many times have we said that? If Arteta had been in charge of Nazi Germany they would have never got further...

Remarkable chip-pissing here, h. wd.

He moved to where the ball was heading and the defender should have taken care of the attacker. The performance once we scored was abject. At best.

Maybe, I :-) I've never played in goal, you see. But the view from in front of the goal shows that he would have saved it had he not moved to his...

that's incredibly harsh, w.

If you want to ruin a club quickly, you buy **** players. If you want to ruin it slowly, buy fhe wrong players. If we are not going to adjust and...

we do need Gabriel back pronto. but not using him as an excuse.

Can't see why he wouldn't have wanted them. Of course, they don't come from Real Sociedad or anything but still, Mikel would know they could at least...

We're top of the league because everyone else has had an awful start. It is like congratulating yourself for being the tallest pile of ****. If...

we've done that before. based on recent years I don't see any evidence to say we'll seal the deal

The injuries are part of the lack of trust. What trust he does have is invested in a small group of players and his resulting reluctance to rotate...

Maybe it was just one of those nights. One of those crazy old nights.... I had better not miss any more games :-(

Not sure if you've noticed, Pat, but we're top of the league :rolleyes:

:nod: he's not the man, he's reached a certain point and that's as far as he will go. I was feeling quite confident to a point but the warning...

Much of that may be true, but it has nothing to do with Saturday's performance. We completely controlled the game for 85 min or so, and got into...

Hmmm, not convinced, red. If that was the teachings every time a cross came into the box the keeper would move to the far post, which doesn't happen....

Fair points. I?m still looking at the squad and leaning more towards optimism but only on the basis that they stop dropping like flies. We can?t...

Caution doesn't come from a lack of firepower. It comes from bad Generals. Arteta doesn't have enough faith in his players and wants to control...

Right. We must buy a few more strikers in January; THEY are not cautious.

No. If a cross goes in at the far post, that's keeper error; that's his responsibility, to follow the flight of the ball. When the forward (or...

Very glad I didn't watch it all. What i saw was really bad. Did he really push Saliba across to left side centre back? :-(

On that we can agree Peter. Mind you, so was the rest of the game.

Only seen it twice but I'd say everything about that goal is a disgrace. Absolutely piss poor.

Yes watch it from directly in front of the goal, if Raya does not move to his left the ball goes almost directly to him - I?m not too sure why he...

Are you serious?

It's nearly Christmas:-)
