Ref was itching...

Gabriel was shocking tonight.

Walcott was already on his bike by the time Gabriel realised he hadn't been quite tight enough and cynically hauled him down. No way he was ever going to catch up and attempt a tackle.

Gabriel can count himself lucky it didn't end up in a straight red for a last man foul. Referee did us a massive favour.

Rubbish never a straight red

Didn't say it was 100%, but I've seen them given. Stopped Walcott from having a clear run on goal.

I missed the first yellow so when I saw the second one I thought that was an excellent piece of cynical defending to take a yellow for the team.

Was completely shocked when I realised he had just been booked. How brain dead are your players at the minute? Seems to be a ridiculously unnecessary red each game.

Saka needs to be protected, without him we barely even threaten the opposition.

You barely even threaten the opposition with him.

Gabriel was daft, it was a blatant yellow card.

You basically just regurgitated my point regarding Saka, well done...🤦‍♂️

Without him it would be worse.

They were both yellows

You will however see about 20 other instances this season where the ref will have a word with a player he's just booked instead of going for the second yellow

It is what it is, can't really complain about the ref applying the laws

They were yellows but you could imagine a ref not giving them and just a taking too instead. I think the refs do buy into a narrative around a players or club, even if it’s subconsciously, and It’s not just against us. Our narrative we are not disciplined and will give away silly fouls, so refs will be on alert for anything like that. It’s up to us to change that perception. Doesn’t help we have likes of luiz and Xhaka who have reputation for doing dumb fouls. But You see it with other players and teams as well, like if you get a reputation for diving it might be hard to actually be believed when there is contact

As if anyone would ever want to regurgitate your points the illogical moron living in a permanent dreamland, deluded arrogant phuktard must be struggling to swallow his bitty, maybe Mummy can regurgitate it for you.

Some people deserve to get trolled and the illogical moron is one of them.
