They're season ticket holders. They have tickets for every match. They just go to the ones they want to watch and lately that's obviously not a lot.

glory hunters and not real arsenal fans. plastic fans more like. They probably gone to see if they can get  a season ticket for city.

Why cant there season ticket be taken away from them if they dont attend say 70% of the matches a season?

Because they pay upfront so Arsenal couldn't give a flying fúck if they actually turn up. There are plenty of REAL fans out there who are sick of watching this pathetic weak brand of football Wenger plays, especially when it is a second rate competition.

Many have been in their families for decades. They’re not plastic fans, far from it.

Aaaaand I'm off to the gym, my heart won't be able for this car crash.

Hyzepher

why are we so bad defensively...

Wheeliebin30

Ospina is so poor.

wonga77

Game on. Time to see what we're made of

That's a disgusting decision.

KaiserGunner

Was some hit in fairness, with a lot of dip and swerve. Not sure if id blame Ospina there.

Hyzepher

what a decision - crazy

Wheeliebin30

Celtic 2 from years ago again.

Its all the media will talk about now.

KaiserGunner

Ah shocking dive from Welbeck there. Don’t know why Rodriguez put his arm up like that though.

Ardennes1944

Jesus Christ Welbeck :pac:

Cant give out about Kane now

wonga77

embarrassing dive from Welbeck

martingriff

Was Welbeck even touched

Ardennes1944

He put it away though fair play, fully expected him to **** it up

Hyzepher

looking at it again there must of been contact for the defender to put his arms up so quick - but probably never a penalty

Awesomeness

Welbeck meant to fall over for a change

OneEightSeven

Cheating to get an equalizer. I feel embarrassed.

jonneymendoza

wtf.

shocking i a not happy about that dive

Ardennes1944

As I say when these things happen in football whether its for or against, they usually even themselves out over the season

I'd say you'd be less happy if they had done it.

farna_boy

Bull**** call. Welbeck lucky he wasn't carded. Seems to go down easy far too often.

Wasn't his biggest fan beforehand due to his total lack of skill, but I hate that ****. **** off back to Utd if you want to play like that.

I don't mind applying that when its 50/50 or a difficult decision for the ref to make but that was a shocking call. The assistant ref right there, couldn't be placed better and he gives a penalty.
We'll have no luck for that. An embarrassing dive

Vincent Vega

Absolutely outrageous call.
Replay.

Wheeliebin30

Don't pundits now always say if you feel contact you have to go down nowadays or you're manager wont be happy????

Hyzepher

Great game so far

Well thats exactly what I mean, I am sure they has been or will be a calamitous decision against us to even that up.

except its not a season like a league its a knock out phase and due to it Milan may be sent packing

Warren Barton on the stream I’m watching on, says it was a penalty.

Yeah just noticed that, must be one of a very tiny few on the planet who think it was a penalty. The game is fcuked if the pundits start defending a decision like that

5star02707

Not enough for a penalty for me, would be fuming if it was given against us. I'll take the gift nonetheless. Looks like the assistant ref gave it not the referee.

I think there's a certain amount of common sense assumed in that though. Like, fair enough if your feet get touched without it being enough to send you down, you go down. But a vague brushing of the shoulder. It's a particularly weird one, 'cause I wouldn't expect that to be a free anywhere else on the field, even if the player throws himself to the ground.

Just particularly bad judgement by everyone involved on the reffing team.

Ol' Donie

Amazing.

The ref at the goal line finally, finally actually impacts the game, and it's comically scandalously wrong.

Terrible dive, Welbz. F*ck sake.

First time watching Arsenal in a while and what’s sticking out for me is how good Ozil looks. He’s laying chances on a plate and putting the balls into places where players should be making runs to, but they’re not. Twice now he’s sent through balls forward into positions where Wellbeck should be attacking them, but he’s been off the pace. I can see him getting frustrated.

The standard of officiating in this game has been appalling. Arsenal players throwing themselves on the ground and getting everything given their way.

I agree.


It feels weird to actually have a ref on our side for a change.

Didn't a milan player just get booked for diving?

He did, and correctly so.

Yup. Which is kind of ironic in a way.

This will be a win for arsenal, Milan starting to look frustrated and can't convert chances. Kalinic missing that free header is endemic of their frustrations.

Xhaka. Get in ya beaut. Poor goalkeeping

Feel bad for him. The looks on the faces of the fans behind him sums it up

KaiserGunner

Shocking goalkeeping there, but I’ll take it. Should be enough now to make the next round.
