Come on. Declan Rice was not wasting time. Arsenal were well on top and would have been wanting to score more.
The big 6 win games against strong opponents by getting the better of the vast majority of 50/50 calls.
Stopping an opponent gain any momentum is a big part of that.

Rice expected to get away with an action, that a Brighton player wouldn't have.

I wouldn't say he was spot on. He said Veltman wasn't trying to take a quick free-kick, he just kicked Rice. There is no way he was trying to kick Rice. He was either a) trying a quick free-kick down the line or b) trying to take a quick free kick to then moan at Rice for not getting out of the way of the ball.
He was trying to get Rice booked (and then sent off obviously). Rice kicking the ball away did the job.

Rice inflated the incident by going down like he was shot after Joel brushed his shin against Rices’ shin. It looked like a hack at first and the crowd were incensed when Rice crumpled to the ground yellng and screaming. Unsporting behaviour. Guilty as charged!

As hurzeler pointed out whilst Martin known was being an absolute nob head

We can feel hard done by due to the time wasting and cheating by Arsenal from 70 minutes . F the sending off !

Take the point . We were losing that game before the rice incident

The breaks come at a good time

Regroup , refresh and then back the start up v Ipswich

As for Arsenal , crap entitled fans . Horrible team full of cry babies led by a manager that has a permanent chip on his shoulder . Comical club

So you're saying it was option b) then. Because you don't get people sent off by kicking them.

Can’t stand him. I like his Lego Pep nickname though.

I hadn't heard that nickname. Mrs T calls him Lego man (eidt, I've been corrected - she calls him a Playmobil). I'll make sure she's updated.

Without a Gilmour and Riley slightly concerned about our creativity and ball retention in midfield. We have plenty of hard working central midfielders but lack that player to knit everything together and offer more creative passes.
