He put it out. Now it's been a million years since I've seen a back pass given but I thought the goalie had to pick it up?!

Farcical from the ref, the Arsenal players are far too close.

No, what gave you that idea? He has to touch it with his hands.

Nope. Even a parry or any contact with the hand counts.

Didn't Fabianski pick up a backpass vs Porto? I can't remember exactly what happened but I remember it be a clusterfcuk of a situation.

The Red Lad

Fierce boring game was hoping for a goal fest out of us

We seem to be back to the football we played for most of the season.

beer enigma

Am I missing something here or are we supposed to win ?

Marcus Antonius

Lol Ozil gets a yellow for dissent but not a yellow card for any of the dirty fouls Sunderland have committed, great consistent referring as usual

I wonder is there a reason that so many refs are bald? Is it a bitterness anger thing?

wandatowell

Some ball from Larson

KaiserGunner

Yeah the ref has been poor, Cattermole and Larsson should have been booked by now.

Alright Sanchez. Free kick in the back of the net, please.

domrush

Ardennes1944

It's clearly a tactic, we've done it all season.

Bobby Baccala

Ref can get the absolute large boat

A tactic to test our defence against counter attacks? :pac:

It's working well :pac:

The Red Lad

Can't see a goal going in for us

wandatowell

Bellerin's final ball should be so much better.

Royale with Cheese

This is still shíte

Quazzie

Ramsey off. Summer holidays time.

The Ox was putting in way better balls from the WB position than Bellerin

Bobby Baccala

Thank fùck for that

Boycott apparently, joined with the opponents and the end of the season.

I feel bad watching this rubbish on TV, I'd be very very angry if I went to it. I'm assuming others feel the same

Quazzie

Sanchez was offside.

The Red Lad

That's exactly why we should be giving them 2 whatever money they want

Marcus Antonius

Hah my link must be bout 2 mins behind! I'll take it. Thanks be too f*ck

Clattermole finally gets his yellow.

gitzy16v

Ozil and Sanchez again...be rightly fcuked without them..

KaiserGunner

Good goal, great ball from Xhaka, he's had about three or four of them in this match already.

Was in the build up, but he's played onside by Ozil.

pudzey101

Xhaka has been spraying the ball around lovely today all bad sings aside

domrush

****ing finally lads jesus christ. Credit to Jordan Pickford he could do absolutely nothing there

Bobby Baccala

Does Cattermole do anything except foul people?

Quazzie

Same phase of play I thought no?

The Red Lad

Wenger do something right and sign Pickford

Bobby Baccala

Giroud still hasnt contributed anything to this match

domrush

Quazzie wrote: »

He's not involved in the play when Xhaka passes to Ozil so offside isn't called, then ozil is ahead of him when he receives the pass.

Marcus Antonius

Ffs City just went 3 up. So I suppose we're praying for a miracle from Boro and Everton to let us slaughter them. That's assuming we manage to hold on to win tonight mind you.

Royale with Cheese

Pickford to Arsenal one day?
