Luna didn't get the ball because he pulled out of the tackle after getting a couple studs in his midsection. If you go back and watch the play, Luna slides in and IMO clearly the ball is his, beacuse Ox had already lunged, Luna pulled out and thus didn't get the ball. Not a big deal either way, like I said I don't think there was any malice. Personally, I'm fine with a no call there, but to give Luna a yellow is a bit of a joke. Had it been Joey Barton rather than Ox, I think most ref's would have sent him off.

that said, the lack of yellows on some of your hacking was extremely frustrating. and vlaar should've never lasted the full 90. then kos...ugh.


This is fair. Vlaar did not have a good day, and was a bit lucky. It did get chippy on both sides, which is obviously a product of the ref losing control of the game.

We are 100% not getting Michu. Laudrup has already made that clear.

that's not unfair.

I'd have much preferred him sending off szcz I think we deserved a draw. we didn't play good enough for a win. the 3-1 scoreline was very harsh. great win for you all though.

@CaulkinTheTimes Arsenal have made a bid of £10m for Yohan Cabaye. Dismissed as "derisory" by #Nufc and will be rejected if it hasn't already.

You get to listen to Chelsea fans talk about how much better their team is because money is the solution to the world's problems.

For some reason I'm subjecting myself to the MOtD replay from NBCSN.

Agbonlahor's first penalty, there's no excuse. Just a terrible defensive breakdown.

Started with Rosicky giving no cover to Ramsey pressing. Either Ramsey can't press that high or Rosicky has to cover.

Then Wilshere and Kos give two pitiful stabs at the ball.

I don't really blame Scezney on the back end. He had to do something. Needed to be quicker but God that was awful defending.

Then the advantage call and terrible take from Benteke plus the follow up: just a cluster frick of ugly footballing.

Is self-loathing (and some sick enjoyment of it) required for being an Arsenal fan? I'm new to this. Maybe I should turn it off.

My God, Santi's touch that ignited penalty two was as bad as the call.

I'll stop now. This is starting to feel too good.

On the way to psg? I don't even understand the point in bidding £10mm. Did they think he had a buyout too?
