I remember when we used to score final minute winners fairly regularly. Forgot how good it feels. Well done everybody.
Yeah the corner right before that was terrible. He did take advantage of that linebacker masquerading as a footballer giving you guys another chance. Big win.
Yeah, Ozil wasn't very good but he's so money on free kicks from that angle. Same with Cazorla, seems like we get a head on pretty much all of those.
What petty jabs? I was just cheekily making fun of your misused wordage. Don't get all bent out of shape, Francis.
I'd rather you win than Leicester, we still have you at home. Obviously the draw would have been ideal but there is not any mad to be had here at the moment. That could all change in the next few hours, of course.
A little hard to tell with the 2nd yellow in the 54' minute but it felt like Atkinson reffed the game differently after the half. Am I alone here? Full time Fouls/Yellows: Ars 9/3 Lei 11/5 1st Half Fouls/Yellows: Ars 7/2 Lei 2/0 2nd Half Fouls/Yellows: Ars 2/1 Lei 9/5 (4 fouls and 3 yellows leading up to the sending off in 54')
No, Jorts and I were chatting about the same thing. I commented that we needed to start getting the tic tac calls, Jorts was pretty sure Atkinson was pure retard and we'd get hosed. I agreed.
Just showing up with the delayed boner. Was on the road so just finished the game holy shit that was great.
Alright so what changes Atkinson at half? Doubt a raucous Emirates crowd got to him so does Wenger's moaning affect him or does he review his 1st half and call the game tighter?
Just finished watching the game via DVR. My nails were bitten down to the minimum! But maaaaan dat guy welbz... What a way to return!
Hope Welbeck can stay healthy for longer than 3 weeks & he's able to spell Giroud. Horse-cock has played virtually every game & needs a break.
I have no idea. He really didn't pull one out until Coq, who did deserve a card. At first I didn't think so, then when you see it again it was pretty clear. After that, maybe it's possible he knew he got the penalty wrong? No one likes a dive.
It was no foul by Nacho, but Vardy did what every striker should do on that play. Nacho missed the ball, was poorly positioned & Vardy created contact. It became Atkinson's call & he made a poor, split-second decision. I have no problem with how Vardy played. Mahrez, however, was a diving cunt & should have been carded for his antics.
Meh, Vardy could have had an attempt on goal but he chose to be a cunt. Alexis has tried what Vardy did but he's not very subtle about it and hasn't gotten the call.
I can't argue with either of your logic. That was my stab at the inner workings of Atkinson's brain. Really looking forward to watching again to see if Simpson's was deserved.
