[Albion] Premier League 15/2/23

[Weststander]

Ake’s run was inhibited by a persistent and blatant shirt pull. Why no pen?

 

[BN41Albion]

As much as I got pissed off at Arsenal during the Caicedo affair, Man City are such a horrible club. Well done Saka!

This for me too.
I don't have much against Arsenal really though. Caicedo's agents can do one, but at the end of the day you can't blame Arsenal for bidding for our player! Seems like they didn't push it too much either once we said definitely not for sale

Nketiah was not running in the direction of Ederson. The Citeh keeper followed through, he didn’t need to.

How is he meant to not ‘follow through’ you can’t stop your momentum instantly, if nketiah runs into the keeper after putting it past him they don’t bring that back for a foul.

I'm thoroughly enjoying a game between two very good football teams that really doesn't effect us in anyway whatsoever ................. unless ........ Nah

Edu, Arteta and the agents worked together behind the scenes to unsettle Caicedo. An illegal approach, contract terms were even fixed.

Arrogance from Edu and Arteta.

No attempt by keeper to touch the ball, he jumped into the striker. Decent reffing all round, as city are doing their usual blocking and gamesmanship. they don't like it when they can't intimidate the ref

 

[chrisg]

So a goalkeeper can’t run out towards the defender anymore and stand still in front of him ?
Madness

 

[Zeberdi]

Ederson knew exactly what he was doing - he hung in after the challenge - made himself ‘large’ stuck his arm out and blocked Nketiah as he played round him - I think it was harsh though given the defenders looked like they were getting back to cover the goal. Lucky for Arsenal tbh.

 

[The Wizard]

I hate both these sides, City for what they are.

Arsenal fans are idiots, they tried to unsettle Caicedo and their antics against us at the Amex were hideous, plus Arteta is a slimy piece of work.

 

[Seasider78]

Soft penalty anyone would think the officials were keen to appease the league leaders after costing them two points in their last game. Of course that would never happen though not with the sound and competent referees we have in the PL

 

[Weststander]

Ederson jogged out to block a shot and failed in that part, the two players came together post shot, that’s all.

Did your dodgy stream freeze ?

Ran out and stand still in front of him, or ran out and jumped (and still in the air) to take out the striker regardless of what he did

 

[Mackenzie]

Dr Evil as a half time guest, that’s unusual.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Interesting, about 50/50 on whether it was a penalty on here.

One thing not under debate is the disgraceful Man Ure style bullying of officials that their noisy neighbours seem to have adopted.

 

[Weststander]

Amazon are Arsenal TV at half time, just praise for them with a token 20 seconds on Haaland.

Not covering the Citeh chances before half time or shirt pulling on Ake.

Yes, it’s enjoyable watching the top placed teams in the PL battle it out without the outcome having any bearing on us.

I see a lot of similarities between ours and Citeh’s style (without relying on bent refs and shithousery on our part of course).

 

[NSC viewer]

A similar penalty happened in the World Cup semi final with Argentina vs Croatia. Attacker put the ball past the keeper who was committed and couldn’t change his movement and a penalty was given. Didn’t think that was and no different tonight. A collision is not a foul

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Made for a Trossard winner this.

 

[Zeberdi]

Made for a Trossard winner this.

I wonder if he’s enjoying life on the bench with the Big 6 ?

 

[Eric the meek]

De Bruyne got a good push in on Arteta there.
