Neither were penalties.

Mac Allister waited and showed up exactly when Doku was about to hit the ball. Doubt Doku even looked at him. It's one of those things... bouncy ball? Show up to 'win a foul' when you have no chance to win the ball. A couple of minutes ago Salah (I previously thought it was Endo) also went down in the box.

On Jesus? Lamptey got the ball. Not a penalty.

Mac Allister actually won the ball, he got there first, it was his space. Try again.
So bloody what? If you watch football to be absolutely miserable then go watch cricket.

Ignore the wum. He/she/x only comes in here on the wind-up after an Arsenal win unlike the other gunners.

Once you get a reputation for giving nothing away, teams start playing into it and feel sorry for themselves, especially in the premier league. I think in Europe we might still get exposed, they dont know about us yet.

Fucking hell lad, you're talking like you're prime AC Milan from the 80/90s, you're not even close and you're becoming nauseating on a Liverpool forum.

"don't know about us yet" about what? You've won nothing.

Then maybe tone it down till you've won something, for everything you keep bragging about you're literally ahead because we've not played yet.

I used to like Arsenal, but you're morphing into cheaty lite and becoming unbearable.

Ive seen clips of him doing weird shit randomly on the field . Fantastic footballer though, great engine, good cross on him and can defend and attack, as well as fill in centrally or drop into midfield to add numbers. One of our more reliable players.
Zinchenko on the other side is our weakest link.

You're right, but it's pointless even pointing this out mate. It's his thread. He lives here (except when Arsenal lose that is). Best just avoiding it.

Have you guys even had any VAR decision go against you this season? They say it evens out over the course of the season but we’ve been blatantly cheated in 3 games this season, spurs Arsenal and city games where we could easily have an extra 3 points at the bare minimum (extra 2 against city and at least a draw against spurs)  if it wasn’t for the inept biased referees we’ve had in our games.

Well there was the newcastle one when they apparently checked 5 things and none were conclusive so they let the goal stand even though joelinton was clearly fouling gabriel.

Chelsea got a pen against us which was pretty hilarious, Saliba jumping for a header and the ball gets deflected onto his hand. Pen given

Kovacic staying on for city despite committing 2 red card offences, that was in the 25 min.

Theres been a few, not as many as Liverpool

You also had Havertz score a winner against Brentford when he should have been sent off for diving. You’ve definitely had more in your favour than against.

So first it's "no chance to win the ball", then it's OK he got the first touch but somehow that doesn't count, and the guy whose only touch on the ball was a rebound off the player who got it first is allowed to put a high boot into his opponent. Is that about right? Bizarre take, and that's before we even consider that nowhere in the rules does getting the first, second or 115th touch on the ball make a difference.

I know it’s been a while since Arsenal won a trophy, but I’d be surprised if Europe wasn’t aware of Arsenal.

They dont see us the same way they see liverpool and city, probably expect bayern to beat us too. We won’t get the respect or fear there that teams are starting to show us in the premier league. Itll take a couple of years of winning big games in Europe at least.

Genuinely despicable.

City are probably the worst thing that ever happened to football, but they've never ever been so dislikable as Arsenal for how they carried-on in games. This lot are properly up to peak Atletico Madrid levels of shitbaggery.

It’s bizarre to be saying this, though I’d actually rather City win the league. At least they have been charged for their cheating. This team play like a gang of shit houses.

That may be more a reflection of the lack of European success on Arsenal’s part. Anyway, if it’s a consolation, ‘fear’ and ‘respect’ mean little.  Obviously the winner will be the team which sticks the ball in the net more than the opponent.

Yes but Liverpool intimidate european teams, Real even more so. We intimidate some premier league teams now, in Europe we ll need to be perfect in our performance because teams worse than us will still expect to beat us (like bayern).
