Would never have been given the other way round.

Clever feet from Jesus on the penalty. Little flick going straight into the feet together dive after the touch from Tariq. 9.8

this is the same ref who drew the wrong lines when he was VAR in the palace game last season. just saying.

My view from the WSU there was clearly a change of direction towards the West Stand (the opposite direction of travel).
Looked a clear penalty if the Arsenal player was collected before the ball, so I assumed Lamptey had clobbered Jesus first when the penalty stood.

But we wouldn’t have been given that if it was the other way around. We all know that.Can you imagine if it was the other way around and how many of those on here saying it wasn't a penalty would still be saying that.

We have burst through their press beautifully several times. Best I have seen from us for a while.

Forget the hypothetical.
Switch the shirts round. We get that penalty decision - nobody on here is going to say it wasn't a pen.

Eh? You don’t have to hit the centre of the ball for it to be contact. He got the ball but the Arsenal player then makes the most of the contact and as the ref has given Arsenal virtually every decision this half, why change the habit.
It’s been an entirely biased performance by the ref and Alan Smith’s commentary has been nauseatingly biased.
Having said that Arsenal have been the better team but I think we’ve done ok.
I’d love it, love it ( in a Kevin Keegan type way) if we got a last second equaliser to f@ck up Arsenal’s title challenge.

Can’t believe anyone seriously thinks that isn’t a penalty. We’d be going absolutely mad if it wasn’t given for us. It’s stonewall.
The ‘got the ball’ argument is ridiculous. If you kick the ball away cleanly and then smash the attacker in the face with a brick, it’s still a penalty.
Umm no, I am not a professional player with 400 games experience.
You think him sliding past Saka was good defending too ?
As we saw against Roma, he makes a lot of errors
Never a pen. Got a touch on the ball.

We have, but we lack the dynamism. Baleba and Pedro have that, Moder and Gross slow it down.
