Premier League 2023/24 (Part 1)

Ok, let’s add to our bingo cards the trivial nonsense that Jorginho will get his second yellow for. clearing the ball in a tackle half a second after the ref blows his whistle?

Why is Gary whispering? Someone wake him up.

If Kovacic scores the winning goal, will Mikel Arteta and AFC fans start standing with us?

He made some comments already in light of what happened against Spurs but really nothing will count for anything, until we get changes…this shit will happen week in week out.

What’s gonna happen is Oliver and Brooks will sit out Arsenal’s next game or 2, big woopty fucking do.

Kovacic should’ve been off after the first foul. That would’ve been a three match ban as well, with Rodri still out.

Micah being objective as always.

Amazingly the US coverage are speechless at him still being on. Their only explanation is a conscious response to conversations had during the week about Jota’s bad red and now in 2 big games today the refs have made conscious decisions to not give a second yellow

Notably that it did not apply to Lemina in the Wolves Villa game though. Those sides don’t deserve that sort of protection apparently

FA should make the refs watch footage back (of Kovacic’s tackle on Rice) and other like similar instances and Oliver made to answer for why that wasn’t a 2nd yellow “in his opinion”

Alan: Such an opportunity for Arsenal to win this game but not sure they are ruthless enough to take that chance. City have a toothless attack and they are not pressing Arsenal at all. Poor game.

Anon: Raya set the mood for that half, and everyone else has played down to his level - in both teams. Awful match so far with very little quality on show.

Andy: As a Luton fan I’ve seen nothing to worry me in that first half.

:laughing:

But they won’t cause that episode has been n gone…they think…every decision the clowns in black make is under scrutiny…but they are so thick skinned…its like water of a ducks back…I honestly think they are telling themselves…“the shit show last week…we have got away with…”.

Notably it was the entire Brighton staff. De zerbi seems a great guy and you love to see this but the scope of the response says as much or more about Alexis I think

Lewis fouled on the edge of ten box and blasts the ball into the net. Yellow card ignored

Yeah he heard the whistle and found it funny to kick the ball in the back of the net…

He’s safe in the knowledge that City players can do whatever they like with impunity.

Walker just kicked right through Martinelli with no intention of playing the ball…no yellow
