In thought he was exceptional throughout, didn't fall for the trying to get our players booked and seemed to let the game flow quite well.Quote:

Not sure you can have it both ways though, to be honest.Quote:

Please show me where in the rules it decides EXACTLY what constitutes a foulQuote:

No, never. The game is always more important than the rules.Quote:

THree successive pieces of ****ery actually. Monreal is three or four yards behind his centre backs (**** knows why), Koscielny can't deal with a pub ball over the top and then Mustafi slips on his arse.Quote:

Quite right. This is where you have to come for truly perceptive, insightful analysis.Quote:

Even Arseblog, who I see as one of the most biased commentators around (understandably so) just dismissed it with a metaphorical swipe of his keyboard.
The lad Welbeck just jumped through the air, like a ***** if you will allow me to be descriptive.
Thought we were caught off guard for the goal because he didn’t call the foul on Welbeck.
We stood still expecting the whistle and by the time we clocked it wasn’t given the ball was already on its way to Griezmann.
