Europe_93 50 Posted September 24 Taking the lead usually gets rid of all the dark arts. Silva going down like he'd been hit by a train from Trossard, no doubt he was fouled just he was trying to make that a booking before Trossard helped him out. Haaland throwing the ball at Gabriel's head after the goal... After a couple of solid defensive display's people are having a pop at Arsenal, like a throw back to the George Graham days. At the highest level everybody is after every little margin they can get - if you want a return to more sporting behaviour take the money out of the game, remove the fan / media pressure... that ship has sailed I think.

Mason 47 1,926 Posted September 24 It's always been part of the game, though I must say I've gotten quite weary of top-level football and this is a big reason why. It's just worth too much money to those at the top not to snatch every possible advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,015 Posted September 24 The article refers to sh1thousery last season, not just this. I think Arteta is very much an acquired taste and I'm not sure this current Arsenal setup is anywhere near as popular as that of the Wengerboyz. Totally irrelevant but I can't stand them or their fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 4,151 Posted September 24 What a load of utter crap. Dark arts vs throwing the ball against an opponents head? Haaland should have been off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulfotto 800 Posted September 24 And people wonder why football is such a toxic sport when this carry on is happening between the two best teams in the league. Would it hurt anyone to not question the referee and agree he was right or admit afterwards that they were wasting time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
