Michael Kenrick 2 Posted 28/08/2021 at 12:43:34 And they make it 2-0 after 12 mins. Mikel Arteta with a face like a slapped arse. Michael Kenrick 3 Posted 28/08/2021 at 13:07:47 And Shaka dives in with both feet, straight red on 35 mins. Arsenal falling apart... Michael Kenrick 4 Posted 28/08/2021 at 13:16:04 3-0 before half-time. Duncan McDine 5 Posted 28/08/2021 at 13:29:03 Arsenal have played into their hands. Now with 10 men (the usual suspect sent off!) it could be a truly embarrassing score line Duncan McDine 6 Posted 28/08/2021 at 13:30:09 Our Spud might be down the job centre next week Danny O’Neill 7 Posted 28/08/2021 at 13:32:49 Fearing for Mikel here. But then I was when he was appointed. Michael Kenrick 8 Posted 28/08/2021 at 13:43:05 Precision shooting for 4-0. Ouch. Duncan McDine 9 Posted 28/08/2021 at 13:51:52 Danny, I loved Arteta when he played for us, but since then he acts as if he’s never heard of ‘Eberton’… he’ll deserve the sack whenever it happens. Shocking decision to appoint an assistant coach with no managerial experience as your first team manager for a club the size of Arsenal. It’s not as if he’s a Gooner legend either! Insane decision making. Nicholas Howard 10 Posted 28/08/2021 at 13:55:04 Arsenal got 'arsed' by Man City 4-0 and one man down, it is only at 65 minutes. Arteta in trouble... Paul Birmingham 11 Posted 28/08/2021 at 14:12:55 I’ve said many times that rarely do very good footballers make good or outstanding football managers.The Best Little Spaniard, we know, for me went into this cut throat game too soon and at the wrong level.My focus is on Everton and let’s beat Brighton today and it will be interesting to see the rational on the squad selected today. Michael Kenrick 12 Posted 28/08/2021 at 14:14:30 5-0... oh deary me. Tony Abrahams 13 Posted 28/08/2021 at 14:16:31 Last manager to lose 5-0 at the etihad got the Real Madrid job! Michael Kenrick 14 Posted 28/08/2021 at 14:22:11 Arsenal: 1 attempt on goal, 0 on target. David Pearl 15 Posted 28/08/2021 at 14:25:23 Arsenal need a new £50M centre-back. Just when l despair at my own team, l just think of them. A team with no balls. Paul Birmingham 16 Posted 28/08/2021 at 14:25:32 Well on, Tony; yep, the Boremaster left Everton effectively that day, good riddance. Joe McMahon 17 Posted 28/08/2021 at 14:30:11 It's not just Arteta that's under pressure, admittedly I only know one Derby fan, but he told me Shrek can fuck off also. Dale Self 18 Posted 28/08/2021 at 17:33:43 Cmon Chelsea! Suck it Jurgy! Brent Stephens 19 Posted 28/08/2021 at 17:51:47 Get in, Chelsea! Ray Roche 20 Posted 28/08/2021 at 17:53:31 👍🏻😁 Dale Self 21 Posted 28/08/2021 at 17:55:21 Yippee Kai yay! Michael Boardman 22 Posted 28/08/2021 at 17:56:50 Rom's shoulders are so big, he looks like he has no neck, or even a head Tony Abrahams 23 Posted 28/08/2021 at 18:20:04 Shithouse Referee. Salah doesn't even get booked for kicking the ball away and James gets sent off? Michael Boardman 24 Posted 28/08/2021 at 18:21:23 Done with it...yet another pro-RS set of decisions - back on the asthma medication are we? Michael Boardman 25 Posted 28/08/2021 at 18:22:44 Beglin another one - pity his injury didn't reach his mouth...standard RS, "never our fault" attitude. Brent Stephens 26 Posted 28/08/2021 at 18:23:28 Tony, that's a disgraceful lack of a yellow for Salah. Blatantly kicked the ball away after not getting a decision in his favour. Disgraceful. Bill Gall 27 Posted 28/08/2021 at 18:28:29 Well normal service resumes at Anfield. Referee should be allowed a red shirt and made an honorary member of the Liverpool Supporters Club. You know one way or another they will get a penalty. Graham Mockford 28 Posted 28/08/2021 at 18:31:24 It was a penalty but there's no way it's a red, he wasn't deliberately trying to handle it. Tony Abrahams 29 Posted 28/08/2021 at 18:36:43 Especially when the Chelsea goalkeeper gets a yellow for booting the ball away after conceding the goal Brent.Chelsea were on a different level to Liverpool in that first half, but Liverpool stayed in the game through sheer hard work, and now have a great chance of beating a superior team because they keep going. Not rocket science but very, very effective. Julian Exshaw 30 Posted 28/08/2021 at 18:41:41 Salah kicked the ball away 1st half. No yellow, of course. Dale Self 31 Posted 28/08/2021 at 18:56:17 Watching Red Shite possession is painful but they don't look as dominant as in past. Close for Ron there. C'mon, London shite.And from the first half crowd shots, John Barnes has questionable taste in threads. Mike Gaynes 32 Posted 28/08/2021 at 19:25:55 Bravo to Chelsea for guts. Worked their asses off, stayed composed and organized, and got the draw with 10. Well done. Dale Self 33 Posted 28/08/2021 at 19:27:04 Yep. 1-1. Good job, Chelsea! Colin Glassar 34 Posted 28/08/2021 at 19:29:38 Chelsea would’ve won that with 11 men. Mike Hughes 35 Posted 28/08/2021 at 19:42:14 Great result for Chelsea.That'll feel like defeat for the Red Shite.So, morally, a “Singing the Blues” weekend!!! Phil (Kelsall) Roberts 36 Posted 28/08/2021 at 00:09:48 Very difficult evening. Friends came over for a barbie while their game was on. Really good friend. Very gently guy. Never has a bad word to say about our team. So difficult not to look too smug when it ended 1-1.Anyone hear the stat on MotD. You know that phrase: "First Impressions Last". Add that to "KITAP1". Alongside that "Boring Fucking Moyes".Seems that, since Moyes came back to West Ham at the start of December 2019, only Man City, Man Utd, and some other team who we never mention, have scored more goals than WHU. Phil (Kelsall) Roberts 37 Posted 29/08/2021 at 00:42:26 Being reported that Calvert-Lewin has a broken toe and will not join the England squad but stay at Finch Farm to help with healing. Danny O’Neill 38 Posted 29/08/2021 at 09:12:46 Didn't get to watch Liverpool v Chelsea as the pubs in Brighton were heaving so we opted to stand on the street. Got in late last night (or was it this morning?), so didn't catch Match of the Day.Watching now. How much of a beast of a centre forward has Lukaku turned into? Moment in the first half where it should have been 2 - 0 started from Lukaku rolling and bullying his marker. Very similar to last week. Danny O’Neill 39 Posted 29/08/2021 at 09:19:53 Sorry, catching up after a long day out!Duncan @9, likewise. I really like Arteta, just concerned for him right now.Your point is valid. The only difference between him and Duncan is that, for a certain generation, Duncan is considered a legend and many would have had him as our manager on that basis.Glad we didn't go there and preserved his reputation. I'm sure he is of the same mindset hence never throwing his hat in the ring. Paul Smith 40 Posted 29/08/2021 at 09:22:49 Duncan @9. Deffo mate. I was thinking that this morning over my sourdough toast, he never mentions us, even in passing. He deserves what's coming. Bitter... Me? Oh yes. Tony Abrahams 41 Posted 29/08/2021 at 09:24:40 He's a beast, Danny, but he hit one with his left foot just before halftime, that Van Dijk's block took the sting out of. That's when I wanted to see him feint and take the ball across his back, turning body, from his left foot to right. That would have left the big Dutch shithouse flat-footed, and we would have all been saying how brilliant Lukaku is, instead of still having doubts about his natural footballing ability!! Danny O’Neill 42 Posted 29/08/2021 at 09:32:08 I know which one you're talking about, Tony. The initial view would see everyone shout "great defending", but being critical, the striker could have bought a yard before taking the shot.Everton up next on MotD. Let's see if I see it different from yesterday. Jay Harris 43 Posted 29/08/2021 at 14:59:04 Just watching Spurs vs Watford and the Big 6 bias continues. Spurs 2 fouls should've got yellow cards but Watford player slips and catches Kane and gets a yellow.Darren and Dennis on the flanks look good for Watford who are giving Spurs a game. Dale Self 44 Posted 29/08/2021 at 15:24:11 That was a scrappy goal from the 90s Premier League. Just how they like it at Burnley. New and Improved Ginge: 1-0. Geoff Lambert 45 Posted 29/08/2021 at 15:33:07 Spurs top of the league at the moment and only scored 3 goals!!! Dale Self 46 Posted 29/08/2021 at 15:46:47 Oh well... Burnley let that happen like we did: 1-1. Dale Self 47 Posted 29/08/2021 at 17:19:12 Man Utd's kit is really pissing me off. I can't get past it. C'mon Wolves! Mike Gaynes 48 Posted 29/08/2021 at 18:36:07 God, how I hate seeing Man Utd fans happy. Hate it. Bill Gall 49 Posted 29/08/2021 at 19:38:58 Lot of controversy over Man Utd's goal. Pogba's tackle on the Wolves player was shown to be a dangerous tackle where he came in with his studs showing and hit the Wolves player's shin guard, moving it.
