AJ's contribution so far: gives away a penalty, loses the ball, tells the ref he touches the ball, gets offside. It can only get better!

Stupid challenge though. He is a bloody liability. Just left his leg dangling for the Arsenal player to fall over.
The ball was there and he won it!

The graphic just showed we've conceded most pens this season in the Prem, and it's no surprise players dive when when they know the prospect of us scoring two is slim. When is Alan Smith going to admit that was a blatant dive by Monreal?

No they don't, they should be able to spot a dive from 3 yards though.

Exactly, shit decision, thought about it and realised he was reffing a top game.

Jesus after several replays Alan Smith actually brings himself to say it might be a dive!!! No friggin maybe about it. Scandalous decision.

It wasn’t that clear, telly has replayed it 10 times and no one can say yes or no there wasn’t a marginal touch. It was a 50-50 call by the ref and in those circumstances they will be influenced by the appalling clumsiness of the tackle

I agree we need to sell him but hat's not the point. He won the challenge, he couldn't do any more. Shocking refereeing decision.

There’s a camera angle where he touches Monreal and one where he doesn’t. He’s behind the attacking player though so any contact is a pen. It was a needless and thoughtless challenge
