Soccer (Closing)

How do referees constantly bottling these easy yellow cards hahaha. Blatant yellow for Rice

FUCKING BLIND CUNT REF

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MISS THAT LIVE

Already a controversial game where the refs decisions will be talked about more than the performances.

Palmer should have a red, Rice should be on a yellow and whilst I think it was a penalty I'd imagine people will disagree with that.

That’s a pen 1000/1000 times

That’s a pen

How wasn't that a red for Palmer. No intention to play the ball, deliberate kick from behind on Jesus's ankle.

Premier League follows different rules from other leagues I suppose.

Palmer could’ve already had a straight red, and then asked the ref for a yellow for us, which should be a yellow on its own.

But of course nothing happens.

Terrible start from arsenal really, surface isn't helping either side but we look pretty bad

Odegaard is a fantastic player but he must have the highest rate of running into defenders than any other player in the league, it’s like sometimes his vision is too good and he doesn’t know which option to pick

can they show us the replay tho

There’s no nice way to say this. Rice and Jorginho have been fucking diabolical so far

bloody hell it's been 15 minutes already?

LMAO JORGINHO INSIDE MAN

Were dominating Arsenal with our B team same with as we did against Liverpool. We simply have the best midfield in the world.

Martinelli is like a Poundland Neymar with the way he likes to roll around on the ground

Wtf is Sanchez doing?

Feels like Saka is not 100%, was he injured?

Xhaka is the most underrated Arsenal player in history. Look so much worse this season than last.

Stfu Gary, it’s a stonewall pen

Neville absolutely rock hard with that decision

It's time to put Neville out to pasture, how is he still trying to justify clotheslining the ball?

Not too sure what neville is on about the desparation of the lunge put his arm way out there

Surprised no var check on that challenge on Jesus

Palmer is a snob

Studs up, from the back too

surely thats a pen

I'm sick, Palmer is their new Drogba

Arsenal fans whining about the pen being harsh now after the Romero handball lol. What happened to "all we want is consistency"?

20minutes and we've done absolutely nothing

I swear 10 years ago commentators wouldve been calling that a very giveable handball, and this guys basically outraged about it. And the enforcement of the hanballs havent got any stricter in 10 years, I dont know why so many commentators have switched it up so much

Palmer should be off. Two awful challenges. More cards for surrounding the ref.

Harsh on the penalty, but I can see a case for either

Arsenal was cooked from the start by the fact that Chelsea managed to offload Havertz to them. He doesn't even need to start.

This is Arsenal's first PK conceded in contrast to the 6 they've had themselves

This game is going to be a fucking shit show.

not really sure I saw the replay but wasn't the previous play penalty for chelsea?

Spirit of the game ? Handball is handball mf lol

It is a bit tiring that so much of the coverage of football in the UK is the pundits being angry or confused or simply ignorant at the rules. It's rampant.

YES

Gary Neville has declared it is a penalty, it isn't a penalty, he agrees with the rule, he disagrees with the rule, defenders shouldn't do it, defenders are told to do it, all in about 3 minutes.

Stopped a shot on target with his arm, has to be a pen.

Enzo wants a hug

I guess Arsenal get their turn on the PGMOL today

thats a pentalty and a red in my unbiased opinion

Colwill pls

Chelsea really arent as bad as people are making it out. It was bound to click at some point

Lmao raya 🤝Sanchez

Running out of the box for no reason and giving their fans a heart attack

What a moment? A mis hit cross lets not get carried away

Turn the game on. See rice not get booked a for a stonewall yellow.

The refs are far too inconsistent

I'm curious what happens to Arteta's hair in weather like this... does all the product like run into his eyes or is it essentially waterproof? Like he's got a couple of coats of epoxy on there or something?
