Crystal Palace vs Arsenal 1.30pm kick off Sky sports

Drexel

Despite looking like a walking red card at time, Coq has been excellent. Time maybe to get him off after that one tho

Get. Coq. Off. NOW.

Johner

Coquellin should be gone now.

monkey9

This is getting ridiculous from the ref now. Even the player himself knows he should be off by now.

Do you rate him higher than Debuchy?

Has the potential to be

How many final warnings does Coquielin get?

Wasnt the first yellow card supposed to be a last warning?

Soups123

Wenger is incompetent if he doesn't make the change

Coq has been brilliant but he has to come off NOW

bur

Bottle job from Mason. Now basically telling Wenger to take him off now so he doesn't have to give a red.

Wenger needs to haul him off now.

Excellent refereeing tackles are allowed with been yellow

monkey9

Wenger doing the referee's job for him, but keeping eleven players on the pitch.

efb

We are poor defensivey

blueser

That ref is having an absolute nightmare of a game. How the hell is Coquelin still on the pitch?

Nightmare of a game??? That's a bit OTT

I had no idea that's how football worked.

Because he wasn't getting sucked into the pantomime that's gone on since the first yellow

Top class refereeing so far

blueser

Very lucky they had the opportunity to sub him off.

efb

I don't think anyone here is disputing Coq was lucky to be on the field

This line gets trotted out by commentators all the time. Them saying it does not make it true.

As a Gooner, Coquelin really should have been off. Tough one Cp fans.

It's the kind of thing you'd see in a pre season fixture. Extraordinary refereeing.

Standard of refereeing in England's top flight continues to be almost laughable.

Do behave. He should have been gone before HT.

Mertesacker just smoked Wickham for pace

J. Marston

Palace could lay in a few overly robust tackles now. Mason would be too scared to send one of them off.

Commentators job is to say things to get the fans excited. Honest reportage doesn't exist anymore

Show me were I said he wasn't lucky???

Ozil playing like he should.

Let's put it to test it could have been a yellow quite easily but the ref felt it was on the right side of the borderline

Lucky Arsenal fans unlucky opposing fans

Please stop with this stuff. He should have been sent off. You know that really.

That_Guy

That would have been a sublime goal.

I respectfully suggest that you read one particular poster's thoughts on that. I won't name him/her, but you might be able to work it out!

Roddy23

Ozil having a great game so far.

Would love to see him and Theo form a partnership.

Oh I hope I'm not as imbecilic as is being portrayed in your post

Soups123

Match still on so will avoid the pettiness and drop back in later.

At half time Coq was lucky to be still on 2nd have he was excellent broke up 3/4 breaks making only one soft foul. Wenger took him off rightly as he was gone next soft foul

kronsington

Lads enough of the petty squabbling. Christ

No; far from it. I was on about soups. He seems to be the most vocal in suggesting that Coquelin didn't deserve to be sent off.

That_Guy

Dunno what happened there. My stream was too busy focusing on Cabaye's ball into Mutch.

Fuhrer

Still a good 20 minutes left, games gone pretty rubbish though. Hopefully it will pick up again

efb

Can we have another Arsenal goal please?

Delaney defending well.

Drexel

How did cabaye end up at palace. I'd love him at arsenal

Did you read my posts at all??? Other than spouting

Fuhrer

Puncheons a really underrated footballer

efb

We are as fragile as a kinder egg

GreNoLi

Palace might need another forward, Wickham fairly one dimensional.
