We'd have been better off 1-0 down than down to ten men. And he was so far from goal he could have easily fücked it up.
Ødin and now Saka in injured playing pointless intl football because Uefa wants a larger cut of all the money floating around in the sport so they'll over play the players when it's far to congested as it is.
They don't care if the injuries will fück up a club side's seasons or even if a player has his career ruined because they'll still get the same money for the WC/Euros rights and hope to get a few more pennies for the pointless friendlies.
But that was such a stupid red card. What was Big Willy playing at?
3 pointless red cards this season. As well as our skipper's injuries. So ten men and no Ødin or B.
I am not a happy Bunny.
Silliness all round. Everyone was content with the yellow card, including the perfectly-positioned referee.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Red card, just about. But clear and obvious error? That is really stretching it.
Guy is nowhere near the ball. Bad first touch and he is heading for the corner flag with saliva chasing. There is so much to unfold there.
It's a 10% decision. 9 times put of ten var leaves that as it is. Very annoying.
Should VAR be over turning the refs decision when the Lino & Ref judged it a yellow ?
The ref overturned his own decision, after the chaps upstairs leant on him a bit.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

As with life, football is about the grey area. Thus weekend, the area between the balance of probability and the supposedly higher threshold of 'clear and obvious error'
We've had a yellow card overturned for what was a marginal decision, a judgement call that former refs have already disagreed with.
City had a disallowed goal given for what sounds like a hugely debatable decision.
It's anywhere between a 2 and 5 point swing. It is huge.
I can't help but feel that problem isn't so much the officials as the idea that there are that many 'clear and obvious' decisions in football..
If you build a barbecue, you have to use it. And everyone has to stand there and say it tastes better. Same with var.
Then again, I'm pissed and in tenerife. What the **** do I know? 😀
Still had half the pitch to cover and bring a bouncing ball under control, White would have come across, imo.
And the ball is travelling across him, not running in front of him. It is taking him over towards Ben White.
I think he is probably going to get to a position where he can shoot but I think it is pretty far fetched to say you are sure of that. And that makes it a margin call, not a clear and obvious anything.
Just seen the city goal. For me, that's a goal and should be given. And we are on pretty thin when it comes to crowding goalkeepers at set pieces 😀
I think 'letter of the law' he has to get a red, there. However, the ref assessed it and gave it a yellow.
Not sure why VAR got involved, tbh. Not a clear and obvious error by any stretch of the imagination.
Still, great to see that 'letter of the law' gets applied to The Arsenal, and not many others...
“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
