ITT people defending the football equivalent of that kid at school who kept pinching other kid's arms and then crying to teacher when someone eventually had enough and thumped him one.

Like that sort of provocation and unsportsmanlike behaviour is a good thing for the game.

 

[Sun Bather]

3 red cards in the last 2 matches speaks for itself imo.

 

[bjaelke]

"one of us"

 

[GorillaJu]

Never have I wanted Arsenal to score a goal so much as I do now. Come on, just nick a dirty one and take this game from an 8/10 to an 11

If that happens the ensuing brawl + Jose's post match press conference will be legendary

If you think that's my perspective on it you misunderstand. You need to be streetwise to play sports. Gabriel got caught being naïve. It happens.

Lee Dixon is close to throwing a fit.

Lee Dixon is close to throwing a fit.

He has been the whole game

AUF GEHTS BAYERN

 

[MrKaepora]

The post game interview of this game will more interesting than the game itself.

 

[dark_prinny]

Wtf is this shit.

God I hate Diego Costa with a burning passion, people like that shouldn't be on a football pitch

 

[GorillaJu]

Willian is so shit.

 

[Blablurn]

Willian is so shit.

Tottenham Material

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Press forward, you tedious ton of a bitch. Four at the back with under a minute to go. Unreal.

 

[Sun Bather]

Willian is so shit.

Yes, but that is Remy/Gibbs/Chamberlain. Willian is not in the squad.

Relax, you're doing fine

 

[Steverulez]

Willian is so shit.

He's great for everything except his shooting, he's incredibly underrated. Are you thinking of Remy though? Unless I missed something, Willian is injured for this game

 

[GorillaJu]

Yes, but that is Remy/Gibbs/Chamberlain. Willian is not in the squad.

Yeah I realized my mistake after Bla had already quoted me :lol

I meant Remy

 

[Rush_Khan]

Arsenal weren't good enough. Simple as that. As long as Costa gets a restropective ban, I'll accept the loss. Let's move on to the next game.

Costa was already booked for the incident, I'm pretty sure he can't get a retrospective ban if they use the rules as we know them.

Another big gamdeal when Arsenal's decision making is called into question.

What would he get a retrospective ban for?

 

[Courage]

How is Mourinho gonna spin the officiating now? Chelsea is the worst club.

 

[Steverulez]

For being a very naughty boy!

 

[spidye]

great pass from coman

Pretty sure that Costa would get away with repeatedly stamping on the ref's head. Further, given that he was already booked for that scrap, he probably won't get a retrospective ban.

 

[Steverulez]

Great win, we might stay up after all.

 

[GorillaJu]

What do you think? He won't spin it, he'll say the refs made the right decision.

Great win, we might stay up after all.

Don't push your luck. Sunderland still have yet to play, m8

You guys, I have had a sneaking suspicion for the past 10 years or so of watching Arsenal football every week and I'm ready to make a confession: I don't think Arsene Wenger is tactically very good. The realities of the market don't let him unearth cheap gems from abroad anymore, we don't actually bring in that many youth prospects into our first team, and our passing play while still in the top-ish tier of football isn't really exceptional even after finally throwing money at it in the form of Ozil and Sanchez.

So while we still do fine every year and I'm more than happy for Wenger to continue for as long as he wants, I have no clue what exactly the identity of this team is.

 

[Blablurn]

great pass from coman

we need to be stronger in front of the goal

 

[Confrontation]

I like how Darmstadt has one of those typical Eastern European stadiums.

 

[toythatkills]

I don't think he was. He was booked for the shit with Gabriel. If the referee saw him hit Koscielny in the face he'd have been sent off, so he could still be punished for that.

He's known not to be diligent in tactical preparations. You pay for that sometimes in matches like this.

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Does Chelsea exclusively sign dickheads, or do players turn into dickheads once they sign for Chelsea?

 

[Blablurn]

Götze....

GOD. JUST SELL HIM ALREADY.

 

[MauroNL]

No seats is the way to go.

Also why does Coman have that disgusting little tail on the end of his hair like Palacio has?

Lol. On their day Arsenal can beat any team. Arsenal's issue is they are so inconsistent, teams you expect them to beat they lose to.

Look at Chelsea they've had a terrible start to the season, and they'll probably build from here on out.

If it was Arsenal in Chelsea's shoes, i won't have the confidence to believe they'll build on any momentum

 

[Blablurn]

what a sensational goal by vidal

wow

 

[Gambit]

Finally Vidal gets his goal

 

[spidye]

we need to be stronger in front of the goal

vidal heard you

 

[Gambit]

vidal heard you

Bla has to use this new power wisely. What's the most important thing he could tell him.

Spoiler

Bla, tell him to get a haircut

[sora87]

I wonder if Costa is just really lazy and tries to get banned as much as possible

 

[Blablurn]

im dying

 

[Honey Bunny]

Three reds in two matches. Arsene needs to reign in his players, they are ticking time bombs.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Costa was already booked for the incident, I'm pretty sure he can't get a retrospective ban if they use the rules as we know them.

I don't think the ref saw him grabbing and smacking Koscielny's face twice though, wouldn't be surprised to see a retro ban - even though it's fucking Costa

 

[TrueBlue]

Thought we were the better team until the red card debacle.

Arsenal right to feel aggrieved however.

 

[Blablurn]

its okay that schweini is gone

kimmich would have embarrased him

 

[Sun Bather]

Listen, Chie-chan. He hasn't even been sent off for 5 years. Got that suspension against Liverpool afterwards. If he's trying to get banned he's doing a poor job. Arsenal on the other hand, with 3 red cards in a week, are not too bad at it.
