    Alderz, are you being serious as I didn't notice tha?

    Yeah he had a fistful of his shirt. Given the way keepers are protected I can’t see a way that doesn’t get disallowed with VAR.

    Watching on Sky TV - anyone might think Alan Smith used to play for Arsenal! He’s so neutral - not! ⚒

    It's always the same with Sky commentators, they really shouldn't have them commentate on teams they used to play for.

    It’s a good thing VAR isn’t in place because that would be a foul by Soucek on Ramsdale for the goal, IMO

    I thought he was impeded by his own player.

    He was, but only after Soucek dragged his shirt

    Loose play by Kudus gave the ball away in a dangerous area there, fortunately only led to a corner that went nowhere.

    The only commentator that isn’t biased towards their own former side is Tony Gale who seems to hate us!

    Watching the antics of Arsenal reminded me of an old Steve Winwood album "Arc of the Diver". =)

    Coufal left exposed 2 v 1 at the back post there, lucky nothing came of it.

    Shirt pulling at corners seems to be part of the game these days.

    It’s a bit difficult though when it’s mainly Carragher, Neville or Smith and the teams they show the most are Liverpool, Utd and Arsenal.

    Yeah, he rarely has a positive word to say about us.

    They could always, for instance, put Carragher on Man Utd, Neville on Arsenal and Smith on Liverpool.

    It's great that we're winning, but not so great that we've not had a shot in the first 39 minutes.

    If you really think that they wouldn’t use VAR to disallow a goal for a shirt pull on one of the Sky 6’s goalkeeper than idk what to tell you

    We haven’t had a shot yet…
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Poor giveaway of the ball by Paqueta there, we need to cut this out, we're far too loose in the little possession we have.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    1-0 HT.
  • PengemanPengeman
    We are ahead but no shots at goal that I can recall. We are very predictable. Fingers crossed.

    I know it’s Arsenal, but oh dear can we do a bit more with the ball (& getting it).

    Not saying they wouldn't have given it, just that it's part of the game now.

    I wonder if we can win this game without having any shots (on or off target)? :p
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I'm gonna celebrate winning the first half

    I fear I'll have nothing to celebrate thereafter.

  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Nearly the perfect start to the second half.

    Fabianski I think.

    Kudus is Messi from Ghana.
