They are the golden boys this yearâŚ
Missed the first half, just tuned in.
Iâll take a draw if thatâs how it holds.

There was a discussion on Radio 5 last night about the grappling at corners. It happens every single time in the Premier League now. All teams do it and the unsurprising conclusion was that if they gave more penalties then it would stop.
There has to be a will to stop itâŚ

We tried it a few years ago. The response from Fans and media to the number of âsoft penaltiesâ given in the first few rounds of games was hysterical (âno one asked for thisâ yells the pundit who absolutely asked for it) so the PGMOL dropped it

The arm around Raya mind is also a foul.
Number 2 had his hands all over the Chelsea player then as well.

So how do you stop it if you canât penalise players for doing it?
They donât have a problem when they give the foul to the defending team. Itâs the usual story that a penalty seemingly has to carry a much higher tariff than a simple free kick.
Arsenal are dragging everyone else down to their level.

You can penalise players for it and should rightly do so, but you wonât ref many PL games by applying the actual rules!
The battle of the corner offs, where teams that are so hopeless in open play have to take part in.

I thought the wrestling was last night? Arteta now moaning about it. Lolz.
Rice on every corner is not even paying attention to the ball and only focused on holding his man. Mate, throw yourself to the floor and win your side a pen.
Darren England is Chelseaâs best defender of Arsenalâs counters tonight.
I actually fancy Chelsea to win this but I hope it ends in a draw.
Chelsea look the most likely here , Arsenal are doing absolutely nothing.
