You can't replace Bernard, like we could not replace Kev or David.

Yep , he had a great game. Thought Khusanov was very good and Reilly and Cherki and Haaland did well.

So, a player can now direct a clear forward headbutt on one of our players and it's just a fucking yellow, is it? If Haaland had gone down theatrically, it would have been a straight red card.
This is exactly why players exaggerate fouls — if you stay on your feet and act decently, you get fuckall from the bent officials.

If that was me, I'd roll on the ground from one end of the pitch to the fucking other end and get him sent off.

It stinks

Just got home. I'm absolutely knackered - I kicked every ball today :lol:

Haaland was wrestled to fuck the whole game. Bernardo rolled back the years. O'Reilly is absolutely unreal. Khus is my hero. Guèhi is an absolute leader. Cherki is Cherki.

I've watched the highlights and I'm amazed Gabriel wasn't sent off. What a prick. Neville on their goal screaming like a kid in nursery that's been told they get seconds at lunch. Utter helmet

Watched the full-time scenes Sky video - Vieira and Micah sounded like they were gutted - fuck off wankers. "Arsenal gave it everything" fuck off

Bernado has to stay. We do not need to play him every game next season. This guy is class

Carl , we must note it all in our brains, but write it off for today.

If ever i have seen such bad refereeing as today, .,.. well Ant if i ever meet up , i will poke you in the ear.

Referee was awful today and still could not influence the game

And VAR didn't ask him to have another look either. Haaland getting all the plaudits for staying on his feet but he needs to think about the bigger picture. Red card and Gabriel misses the next three games. Massive.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

As i wrote before. Scandalous that Gabriel was not red carded.
