Palace v Arsenal

You don't need floodlights to see that Arsenal kit.

Going 0-2 Gunners here.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 8:12 pm

I could do with Arsenal winning by about five and Saka scoring them all. My fantasy team needs a rescue act.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 8:12 pm

Hoping for a good game, Arsenal should have enough to deal with Palace, 2-1 Arsenal

I agree with that, can we make it Arsenal winning by 15 though and give 5 each to Nketiah and Odegaard as well?

The Palace goalkeeper kit could be seen as a clash with the home shirt ??

I have Saka, Martinelli and Odegaard so could do with them all scoring

Arsenal nailed on the ref is rubbish

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:10 pm

Possible peno...VAR checking.

Given. Scored.

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:11 pm

Wasn't there a rule that the fouled player had to have some sort of control of the ball?

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:12 pm

Partey looked to be holding the Palace player back.

gsyclaret · Post by **gsyclaret** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:16 pm

Yep foul on the palace player and the attacker kicked the ball out of play, no control whatsoever, with these decisions its going to be a long season for the underdogs

Was Odegaard’s first Arsenal goal against Burnley? Free kick at the Bee Hole End?

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:23 pm

Rubbish goalkeeping. No idea why goalkeepers rush out and dive into the forwards path with their arms outstretched in those situations. Maximum risk for minimum reward. Nketiah was watching the keeper instead of the ball for the entire run and knew he just had to get a touch on the ball and collide with the keeper to get a cheap goal.

gsyclaret · Post by **gsyclaret** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:25 pm

Was that the one where it wasn't a corner and he scored with his hand , I hate Arsenal

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:25 pm

Haha. Laughable decision.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:25 pm

Did he even touch him?

Casper2 · Post by **Casper2** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:26 pm

Second yellow for that , unbelievable

Time to ditch Gabriel from my FPL if he's only a bench warmer

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:26 pm

No hope for these refs.

Hardly

Daft that VAR can't look back on a 2nd yellow.

gsyclaret · Post by **gsyclaret** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:28 pm

Refs just trying to make up for his gaffs

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:28 pm

That red card is just embarrassing for the ref

Genuinely ruined the game over absolutely nothing

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:28 pm

Pathetic decision. Honestly refs have started this season appallingly.

Newcastleclaret93 · Post by **Newcastleclaret93** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:31 pm

Struggling to see how that isn’t a penalty either?

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:31 pm

Ref definitely fulfilling his Prem league mandate. Arsenal at all costs.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:32 pm

The ref has probably booked himself a week off now.

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:32 pm

What on earth is going on. Officials having a shocker

No penalty = correct decision.

I mean, he has just sent one of theirs off.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:33 pm

No problem with that not being given. Touching an opponents leg with your own and falling to the ground shouldn’t be a penalty in my opinion.

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 9:34 pm

Ayew had already been booked when he fouled Saka and should have been booked again and sent off. It was a much more bootable foul offense. Not fair.

It’s the precedence that has been set this season. That can’t be a penalty last week but this week not.

If we are going on precedence set this season then that is a stone wall penalty.

Simarly they have just sent off Tomiyasu for taking someone down on the break, 5 mins later Lerma does the exact same thing and doesn’t get a yellow.

The refs having a shocker

This is one of the worst ref performances I’ve seen for a while. Shocking

Darnhill Claret · Post by **Darnhill Claret** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 10:43 pm

Newcastle, you can't say that because a mistake was made in awarding a penalty last week, that the same mistake has to be made from now on, under the heading of a precedent.

Darnhill Claret · Post by **Darnhill Claret** » Mon Aug 21, 2023 10:43 pm

Or consistency.

Hipper · Post by **Hipper** » Tue Aug 22, 2023 8:35 am

Palace looked good considering who they were playing. Just a bad mistake that led to the penalty was the difference. The goalkeeper had to do something as his defenders completely missed the run by Nketiah. What else could he do - stay on his line? It was of course a pen.

Ref was quite correct to book Tomiyasu for time wasting - we all want that don't we even though of course he was a victim of his colleagues. From TV it looked like the second yellow was harsh as there didn't seem to be any shirt grabbing but Ayew, although he had a good game, is a cheat too. So is Eze sometimes. It seems Zaha has left a legacy.

Enjoyable game though and generally well played by both sides.

As for the ref, he got the red card wrong but most right. And of course there was no big team bias. Some people are just waiting for refs to fail.

As poor a game as I've seen for a longtime.

On loan originally and his first goal was at Emirates against Spurs in a 2-1 win, 14th March 2021.

After signing permanently his first goal was the free kick against us.

Actually not quite that good. His first Arsenal goal was agInst Olympiakos in the Europa League 3 days prior to that Tottenham game.
