Arsenal

[smokie36]

Yeah and Van Gaal is taking the contempt thing to whole new levels. Loving it, the way he handles the hacks with total disdain. Cockroaches the lot of em. Only interested in tittle tattle and very few ask any serious or searching questions. Football journalism is several steps down from celebrity journalism. Recruitment must be from street corners, or those 'fan' websites where twelve year olds trade mindless insults with each other.

Shut it big nose.

^Huh?

[Chicog]

^Huh?

He said "Shut it big nose".

Oh, come on, let's go to the stoning.

[Bredbury Blue]

"Are you free?"

[smokie36]

"Are you free?"

I hear Migsy has asked mrboj for a reference.

[Bredbury Blue]

Bit harsh. Foul on Ozil not given. Good advantage by ref on the foul on Leicester. Penalty...iffy.

[Chicog]

It evens itself out

[mrbojangles]

Nothing to even out there Chiccy. Deffo penalty

[smokie36]

Well that was a game and a half!!!

[Chicog]

Nothing to even out there Chiccy. Deffo penalty

You're missing the point.

Can't say i agree with you. Certainly not having seen the slow motion. Soft at best.

Regardless, Arsenal deserved the win.

Could you enlighten me then

Yes they did...the sending off changed the game but the Arse had the better of it.

Leicester defended with ten men very well though...at this level with ten its very difficult to hold out.

When I first saw it, it looked like a pen and in slow mo it looked like a pen. He shouldn't have left his leg out as Vardy had nowhere else to go, even though to be sure the ref saw it, he made the most of it.

But as you say, Arsenal deserved the win and I'm glad they did. Leicester would have been a tad out of sight for anyone else to catch them up, so it did us all a favour really

[Chicog]

it was a pen but they should not have had the ball in the first place.

[mrbojangles]

ha, ha. Got you. Was waiting for you to put that bit in. And yeah, I agree it was a foul and they shouldn't have had the ball.

[Chicog]

You got me what? My first comment was 'It evens itself out'. Keep up MrBo. I have you to win 2-1 as well.

[Bredbury Blue]

Until the sending off I didn't see arsenal getting back in to it as every bobble or deflection seemed to go Leicester way. They defended really well but looked so tired at the end and you could smell the goal coming. Don't remember seeing a team fight for the ball, hassle in packs and work as hard as this Leicester side. Cracking game of two excellent sides (love watching ozil and kante).

[jellydog]

To play the contrarian, not a penalty for me, or a foul. No contact with Monreal's foot and Vardy picked a leg to dive on. Soft, soft and soft.

[Chicog]

I'm not complaining. It evens itself out. Yaya should have a yellow already.

Let the pain flow keep flowing.

[Bredbury Blue]

Back in the mix then.

[Chicog]

Back in the mix then.

Still a long way to go.

But we can forget the league until the visit to the Theatre of Dweebs on the 28th.

[Chicog]

I missed that Drinkwater tackle on Monreal.

Atkinson is such a tosser.

[SantiSuk]

Took several months off my heart watching the replay not the live game and I already knew that we had won - least I thought we had won after seeing a flash of a table. Injury time had me questioning whether I had been dreaming. Must have been horrible to watch live as an Arsenal or Leicester fan.

Fantastic team Leicester - they didn't have to get so agricultural in the early part of the second half - eventually cost them the match.

Probably not a pen in the first place but then Monreal deserved it when dangling a leg so temptingly in the area when he was nowhere near the ball

Kante's early on strike against an extended upper arm looked like more of a pen than Sterlings back-turn flip that gave Spuds their first!

[Bredbury Blue]

That should have been an Arsenal penalty for handball...definite. More crap reffing.

[Chicog]

No Bredders, I still don't want video refs.

[Bredbury Blue]

Good battle this...can see why Hull are top of the Championship. Arsenal look like they should get through this.

[Chicog]

I think it needs Ollie, we have no threat in the air.
