The Official 2015/16 Premier League Thread

Fair enough, like I say, I didn't see the first half, but second half I thought he created a few chances for Ar5ena1 down that side by giving it away and diving in.

I think that were tiredness more than lack of composure . I think he's one to keep an eye .

Arsenal to lose and Giroud to get a hat trick would be ideal so it convinces Wenger that they don't need another striker.

This is getting ridiculous. Ref is fudging Saudi Sportswashing Machine at every opportunity.

Andrew Mariner is surely the worst referee in the history of the premier league!

 

[Nigeyman]

Saudi Sportswashing Machine have engaged full 'Kamikaze' mode.

He didn't spot the stone wall penalty though

If you watch the ultra slow motion replay there's a little touch on the back from the defender and the Arsenal player is already diving before their feet get tangled.

Should have been a yellow for diving as that happened first.

 

[scaramanga]

It's insane - literally every single tackle is either a yellow or a red!

Lolz at Walcott missing one even Soldado would have scored.

Oh come on! I know it's Arsenal, but You don't even believe that lie yourself! The defender steps on his heel and it's a penalty every day of the week!
I'm happy it wasn't given, but Mariner is a joke!

I'm deadly serious - look again and the defender reaches out and touches the goon in the back a step or two before their feet tangle. At that point the goon starts going over.

That's why I think the ref didn't give it - it looked like a dive because it was one, even though there was contact after the dive started.

If that was us not getting the penalty, you'd be screaming bloody murder 'til the end of the year!

I'd be calling for Poch to drop the player who dived - it's not acceptable under any circumstances

Howard Webb likes this.

Yeah right...

 

[scaramanga]

Yeah right...

I've never condoned diving from our players and I never will. Arsenal fans have different standards.

 

[NorwegianSpursFan]

Where's Henderson gone? Not even on the bench.

 

[Rorschach]

Ha 2nd for WHam. One of the few times I want West Ham to win.

 

[NorwegianSpursFan]

Lovren back to his best I see

0-2 west ham

 

[Robbo]

Stoke down to nine men after 31 mins - Afellay and Adam with straight reds within six minutes of eachother!
