Yep, Oliver needs looking into.
Arsenal players down for around 10 minutes in the second half.
Down for 2-3 minutes in ET.
8 subs I believe.

Yet only 9 mins added on.

Really strange.

And only 9 mins added on?

The ball was in play in the second half more than any game this season.

Most likely true. Again I dont get your point. It was obvious arsenal were time wasting.
9 Minutes went up on the board and they were down for about 3 mins of that yet at most, 30 seconds were added to the 9.

Was strange refereeing.

Yh cos city spent 60 mins passing it side to side on the edge of arsenals box vs ten men ffs 😂

Yeah you said that. a.) I dont know what that even constitutes as. b.) It's probably cos there was 9 mins added on and c.) The game wasn't long enough still.

You don't know what in play means? In the second half there was more actual football than any other half this season. Which means the ref was more generous with added time than any other game. Yet you still want more?

yes I need to know what it means, there was an instance for example when an arsenal player went down again but the ball never went out, and then the ref eventually stopped it. 10 seconds of "play" but no one was actually playing.

Do you not agree more time should have been added on. Especially when a third of extra time was not played?

Also City had the ball in play essentially the whole game too. So that would explain it. No corners/free kicks etc.

It was city had the ball. Arsenal Player hit the deck.

just stopping kicking the ball away init

Gooners in tears because the Dark Arts failed them this time 😹

You lot fking crying again

Have you ever dropped points fairly? Absolute clowns

Yeah DJ I dont really get your point mate.
There was less stoppages that you normally see, free kicks, corners, throw ins.
Doesn't mean that there was not time wasting.

I didn't see any corruption. I only saw players being punished for breaking rules.

Hard to do anything else when you’re playing against a back 9.

Every time City tried something different, an Arsenal player dropped to the ground like a bag of shizzle

----------------------------------------------------------------------
So because City had the ball more time should be added? Don't get that point.
There was literally more time on play than any other half this season. Doesn't matter that it was City passing it around and doing nothing, the ref can't give them extra time for being toothless....

You're not understanding.

Normally time isn't stopped for goal kicks, throw ins, corners etc

It should most certainly be stopped for time wasting.

Nick, stop digging.

Oliver should have booked Raya early on for time wasting, it would have curtailed his antics and made the game a better spectacle.

Also we would have been treated to a barrage of articles from Gooners saying they’re being victimised 😹

That station it's own proves nothing.

You could concluded that city kept the ball in play for longer. It foes not speak of how much time Aesenal wasted when they had the ball.

Stat, not station
