Mike, it’s utterly absurd to think refs can spot every exaggeration and dive, and it’s ridiculous to spend your time blaming the officials.

It’s the players decision to cheat and it should be the players who are blamed for the problem.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And what do we do about that? Bans? Fines? Or do we just allow for the ref to dish out a yellow?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There isn’t really an answer, sadly.

People accept it as part of the game now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
*the officials and lawmakers accept it as part of the game now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As do the fans, players and managers.

Broken.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They wouldn’t if the officials and lawmakers didn’t indulge it.

All he had to do was take it back in the box and pick it up

Whose on our bench?

Is Shaw injured?

Rashy, Licha, Varane, Case all there

We're getting called for every challenge we make. Weak

How do lawmakers deal with exaggeration though?

It’s nigh on impossible to prove a player wasn’t really hurt.

No one knows, Diafol done a rotten job on match thread duty tonight.

Once we were 2-0 up against a good Newcastle team I had no doubt the game was done. This time around I really feel were on our way to losing this. Ok we're not 2-0 up but they seem far more up for it than us
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Often seems to be an issue with us, fringe players who surely want to play, get a chance but don’t look that interested

Im guessing our three best players this year are having a rest for Liverpool, but I hope they're on the bench

Slightly. Was only considered a doubt for today so don't think it's a bad one

The example tonight would be an easy ban though, wasn’t touched at all, a complete con of the ref.

Players would think twice if retrospectively you could miss a game for it.

I agree on that Mike, but most of the time there’s contact and it’s cheating by exaggerating contact.

1-0 Arsenal - Saka

Simple Jack isn’t good when he starts games.

Been our best attacker tonight, not saying much of course.

Ok we got Casimiro, Rashford, Martinez, Varane who can all come off the bench. I'm relieved, and am now confident ETH is doing the right thing again with the team selection

Though no Sancho tonight, what's up with him? Knock?

Soton losing 2-0 to Grimsby.
