All the decisions correct for me, but I'd be feeling hard done by regardless.
Premier League Festive Season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
All self inflicted. City had a genuine problem here they were failing to solve and Arsenal just let them away with it
1 or 2 more hopefully
Simple. He was already bookedHow is that a red though
The most Arsenal 10 mins ever
Yea second yellow. First was for scuffing the penalty spot
Football is a contact sport. It was too light for a pen I think.
You will rarely see two yellows this moronic.
they are above us and all things considered, up until this point they dominated against City. I don’t think we would be able of doing that
They dive because otherwise the incident would never be looked at sadly.
He got first yellow few minutes before that. It is second yellow which he deserved tbh
I shouldn't have tuned in, within a minute Arsenal conceded a pen, missed an open goal, and had a player sent off.
City at 7/2 HT looking like a tidy bit of business
Agreed.
Arsenal will still win
Arsenal players mirror how much of a moany dick arteta is
Still think Arsenal will get something out of this.
That wasn't a foul.
Arsenal are such sore losers, touch of Spurs about them when things start getting tough.
Ah, Dutch commentator was saying direct red. Nevermind then, really fecking dumb then.
Ref losing it...
What an insane five minutes.
That is never a penalty for me. You see shirt pulls all the time and nothing is ever given. It's only been given because he's gone down but any one can see it's a dive. Just shite officiating that will just encourage more players to dive. Honestly, some of the stuff they overlook with VAR and they give that? Absolute joke.
Gabriel can have no complaints though, lost his head.

It's typical Arsenal, a pity Lego man isn't on the sideline to see it.
Swings him? Come on. It was incredibly stupid to grab the shirt but there wasn't at all enough in any of it to cause Bernardo to go down.
Anyway what I am doing, I should be laughing at Arsenal arsenaling this up
He didn't dive to highlight a foul. He was going for a pen before that as you can see with his body movement trying to get the arm round Xhaka.
How many fouls Rodri can do?
2nd yellow.
This ref never had it
100% penalty. The leg clip plus the shirt pull. Definite red too. I’m glad Gabrielle got booked for scuffing the spot. Sh*thouse move. Then the easiest second yellow you’ll ever see.
And I thought WE were whingebags.
Peak Arsenal those few minutes.
He dives because he is tackled and he has no reason to stay up and avoid getting a penalty. Why the hell would he!? Not the first time Xhaka has messed up everything for his team by lacking focus when it matters the most. Arsenal slowly getting back to their petulent best I see, so many players up in the referee’s face and crying injustice when there is none. Gabriel gets a yellow for mouthing off, then he tackles Jesus clean onwards, doesn’t get much clearer than that. Still Gabriel is clapping ironically and players are getting involved, pathetic.
I'm all for laughing at arsenal but what did the studio think about not giving them a pen? Looked clear as day to me
Beautiful sight
Mcmanaman and Keown haven’t a clue how VAR works. It did it’s job today
I've a feeling there will be another red before the game ends. More than likely for Arsenal
When you are accelerating, any slight contact can impede you significantly.
Silva decided to dive because otherwise he knows the incident isn't looked at. It's sad but it's how it is. Players are forcing refs to take a 2nd look in a way because refs have contributed to this
Xhaka legbreaker still to come
Yeah remember Torres doing it at Old Trafford against the scousers in 2010
Don’t understand how it’s a clear and obvious error for the city penalty but not one for when Ederson took out the arsenal player earlier in the game.
Is there any team in Europe which gets more bias draws, decisions, ffp reviews and everything else than Man City
