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

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.

I'm glad Haaland acted like a real man and didn't play act to get him sent off. We're good enough to win this now without resorting to those kind of tactics

Fuck em. Not even a criticism of the ref's bottle job on the headbutt

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

Clear handball by Gabriel in the first half, tore Haalands jersey form pulling him so much, and clear red card towards the end. Haaland didn't go down but you can be sure as shit that Gabriel would have - in fact he's already done it multiple times this season.

Add to that the ghost fouls called on us during corners, constant diving by arse, and 7 mins out of nowhere.

Bernardos performance today was as good as his vs Liverpool a few years back, never stop running, out muscling players 2x bigger than him, always in the right place, and keeping the ball with ease. One of a kind player who is impossible to replace.

Very happy to see Pep settle on his starting eleven. If Jeremy calms down abit and is more considered with his final ball, we would be cruising.
Toe to toe in the second half when they had to come out and throw caution to the wind and actually play football and we were not found wanting. A great win, some standout performances but plenty of points left to play for so we know there are plenty of twists to come.

Well could be Cherki. Or could be O'Reilly by the touchline, first half, dazzling his way out - Amazing!

Don't get too complacent, he's promised changes
