November 4, 20232 yr I didn’t see it live, but how could VAR look at that elbow to the head and not call a red card 2 minutes ago, CooterBrown said: What happened with the 4 yellows in one minute? Havertz foul & Newcastle protesting too much
November 4, 20232 yr Eddie has mostly been useless probably time to try Trossard not sure we have anyone on the bench to help the midfield
November 4, 20232 yr Author bruno should be in a jail cell after this game. jesus christ what thuggish play.
November 5, 20232 yr From the club 🚨 Arsenal statement: “Arsenal Football Club wholeheartedly supports Mikel Arteta’s post-match comments after yet more unacceptable refereeing and VAR errors on Saturday evening. “We’d also like to acknowledge the huge effort and performance from our players and travelling supporters at St James’ Park. “The Premier League is the best league in the world with the best players, coaches and supporters, all of whom deserve better. PGMOL urgently needs to address the standard of officiating and focus on action which moves us all on from retrospective analysis, attempted explanations and apologies. “We support the ongoing efforts of Chief Refereeing Officer, Howard Webb and would welcome working together to achieve the world-class officiating standards our league demands.”
November 5, 20232 yr Incoming statement from PGMOL: ”Um… yeah…. Bruno should have seen a red in the first half, and the goal shouldn’t have counted for 1) the ball going out of play in the buildup, 2) a foul on the defender, and 3) offsides. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to count our Riyals from our working holiday.” Edited November 5, 20232 yr by Dutch
November 8, 20232 yr So apparently refs ignoring clear yellow card fouls on Saka isn't just a PGMOL thing. And Havertz.... free header at the back post and fluffs it. Sheesh.
November 8, 20232 yr Author play has been stopped four times in 17 minutes for fouls on saka, three by the same player, zero cards given. i don’t know how saka puts up with it. Edited November 8, 20232 yr by shadow_operative
November 8, 20232 yr Author Jesus Christ the play is literally 2 feet in front of you and you can’t get the call right.
November 8, 20232 yr Goal overturned for a foul on the defender in the box. Looks familiar. But then again, not every ref in the world is a Saudi cuck (yet).
November 8, 20232 yr Author 12 minutes ago, The Maestro said: Feed Martinelli all day he’s been unplayable. i don’t remember the last time an arsenal player was this dominant for a half. what a performance so far.
November 8, 20232 yr We need another goal or two. I love a good “One nil to The Arsenal” as much as anyone, but Sevilla have some players. We’ve got our foot on their throat; snap it and move on.
November 8, 20232 yr STARBOY!!!!!! He and Martinelli have been outstanding tonight. Edited November 8, 20232 yr by Dutch
November 8, 20232 yr Author soumare comes on, immediately gets booked, and then injures himself, all within two minutes. helluva night for the young lad.
November 8, 20232 yr So Saka, after getting the kicked down all night, none of which were carded, gets a yellow for limping off injured? Fuck this fucking game.

He also got a really nice ball from Rice towards the end and his first touch was Zardes-esque and clanks out for a goal kick. Until Partey and Odegaard are back or we upgrade in the winter Arsenal are stuck with him playing lots of minutes. Z hasn’t been real good,this season but I’d rather see him in the midfield at this point.
November 9, 20232 yr Clubs can’t bar players from international matches, but damn if we don’t all know exactly how this is going to go: he’ll return in Jan 2024, play a few matches as a sub to gain fitness before heading off to AFCON, where he’ll suffer a season-ending injury or aggravate the current one. His skill set is unique, but Arteta built his MF around a guy made of glass. Long past time to find a replacement.
November 9, 20232 yr I’m sure he is listed as being worth more but who’d pay anything north of 10 maybe 15m
November 9, 20232 yr 24 minutes ago, Ted Lange said: I’m sure he is listed as being worth more but who’d pay anything north of 10 maybe 15m Doubt we'd get 10m. Maybe 5 if we're lucky. Dude is elite when be healthy, but the best ability is availability. He, sadly, has very little availability. Edited November 9, 20232 yr by Dutch
November 10, 20232 yr https://www.arsenal.com/news/arteta-sakas-availability-burnley Mikel Arteta will make a late call on the fitness of Bukayo Saka for Saturday’s game against Burnley. Bukayo came off in the 85th minute of Wednesday’s 2-0 win at home to Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League, and Mikel is hopeful that it’s nothing serious. “B had to leave the pitch because he was in quite a lot of pain,” he explained. “He trained yesterday and lets see if he can make it tomorrow.” In terms of the rest of the team news, Mikel confirmed that Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey are both definitely unavailable, while Emile Smith Rowe will “probably” miss out as well. “There might be a few more,” he added. “A few are still in contention. We need to give them 24 more hours to give them a chance to be involved in the game, but we won’t know anything until tomorrow.” Asked to expand on Thomas' situation, Mikel said: "He’s progressing really well but it was a significant injury. Hopefully it’s going to be weeks and not months and he’s working towards that. He needs support and hopefully the injury will heal in the right way and we’ll have him back, because he’s a big player for us. As for the latest on Martin Odegaard, he added: "He’s still racing (against the clock). He’s trying everything that he can so let’s see. It’s a possibility."
