Agreed, They've played video of a blatant dive about 4 times and their still claiming it's a penalty, completely clueless.

Not a pen , but the big 6 club gets the decision again , whether VAR will be less top 6 bias is to be determined next season by the refs sitting away from the actual ground , may actually level the playing field.

Not a bad first half performance , on the front foot more than I expected but that has left us exposed at the back and Arsenal have had a few chances to wrap the game up already. Good to see Ryan back in form although I would prefer he was not needed but he is a very good keeper and has been then when needed more often that not. Should have scored ourselves with the limited chances we have had , noticeable coming from the left & Solly March , Bissouma running at the defence. Ali J needs to do more going forward to show us why we paid so much for him as so far he is average at best.

If we can keep a clean sheet in the second half and pinch a goal it will be a worthy away point but there are a lot of if's in there.

Don’t pin your hopes on Ali J

Good summary, so far.

Usual biased “experts” in the studio. Liam should be there to provide some balance.

Surprised to see him at derby today

Nonsense, we always play defensively away from home. How many times have we won in 2 seasons.

Seriously? Your argument that we play defensively is that we keep losing? We're losing today, so you can pretend we're playing defensively today too if you like.

Where has this type of performance been for the last few months

Well one of the two pundits is Arsenal! No shit she's decided it's a penalty.

Absolute clowns, and they have watched it “numerous times” apparently :facepalm:

Well, that was a more entertaining half than many we've had recently.

Looked a soft penalty but other than that it's been quite enjoyable(although that might be because there's nothing riding on it for us). March and Bissouma have looked lively going forward, now we're not putting all 11 men in our penalty box Ryan is actually getting to do something and we've had the odd bit of excitement in the opposition half. It's like christmas come early...

Arsenal appear to be a bunch of whining fannies.

Be interesting to know how much Ali J’s stupidity has changed our tactics or whether Chris intended this from the outset

The ball was there and he won it!

Seems as if the replay shows there was contact on the player before he touched the ball. Whatever the decision, it was a weak dangling of his leg.

We’ll get a draw out of this

hitony · May 5, 2019

For what it is worth, I do not gamble (25p on the Grand national sort of guy!) .......BUT....I have gone LARGE on a draw!!! :clap2:

Never ever ever a penalty. He even started going down outside the box!

Being obtuse is not the same as being clever.

Wellesley · May 5, 2019

Fuming about that penalty as it is, but imagine if Cardiff had beaten Palace yesterday, I'd crush a bloody grape.

Mancgull · May 5, 2019

I've enjoyed the game so far. We've given it a good go. Would love to see us get level. Right substitution with Knocky on.

I think you may have forgotten what obtuse means.
