That' should have been a red imo, but I think it's 50/50 and would be classed as a subjective decision against Arsenal in that ESPN var ranking that Cherie posted.

i think the ref wants to keep the players on the pitch and make a game of it, which is a legitimate viewpoint. I do agree though that the tackles on another day would have seen him gone

It’s inconsistent though as they are sending people off when they shouldn’t be and not sending people off like Kovicic who’s already worthy of a red AND a yellow already and will probably score …

It's not a legitimate viewpoint though. The red card is subjective, so it gets a pass, but titles can be decided on a ref trying to keep 11 vs 11 rather than making difficult decisions. I know, because we've lost out on 3 titles because of subjective refereeing over the last 6 years.

Fine, i know all teams do, but that's the key word there "ALL" teams do it. You can't have it both ways Zizu, defend your teams sure, but you think everyone is out to get the teams you follow. Arsenal are historically known for being a rough, hard side (not so much now). Like i said before, you just seem to think all your teams are being victimised, and every official is out to get them. I mean, look at that Lewis goal for City? Ref messed that up by not playing advantage. It's happens.

Well to be honest I didn’t notice any Arsenal players exaggerating fouls / contact not even Jorginho !!
Same this afternoon.. Brighton were flying into tackles , plenty from behind ( unpunished) yet the same guys were falling down on the ball at the slightest touch from behind.. the refs fall for that every single time as well

I think City were always gonna be a little bit more susceptible to dropping points this year after losing so much experience in the summer through Gundogan, Mahrez and Laporte. They’ve obviously brought in other quality players at the same time but it’ll take them a while to adapt fully to the system and mentality they have there. I reckon selling Palmer was a mistake as well he had a decent start to the season for them and looks promising.
Really confident that we’ve got a serious title challenge in us again this season, Spurs will definitely drop off soon but I think us, City and Arsenal will be quite close all the way

I am soooo sick of the institutionalised cheating in the Prem league
Bowen ( an England player ) just tried a volley in the box and it sailed miles wide but he immediately claimed a corner despite it being abundantly clear that bit was nowhere near the defender in real time nor slow-no replays …
Minutes later when Antonio was rampaging down the wing the young Everton CB Branthwaite jumped into the tackle recklessly and took out Antonio’s standing leg .. Branthwaite looked and smiled like an innocent choirboy and smiled as he avoided a certain yellow card !!
Antonio limped out of the game seconds later

The reasoning behind not captaining Thiago is because Poch is looking to the future. Otherwise I'd agree with you.
But Chelsea have bigger problems than finding a non injury prone captain atm.

I wouldn't mind Blues and Man Utd swapping Managers tbh.
I think that it's a fair trade considering how the players have treated Ten Hag this season.
And with Fernandes, being brutally honest he is a waste of space, he goes missing so often in games it isn't even funny.
And that's taking away from the fact that he shoots like he thinks that he is playing Rugby.
I hope that Man Utd will eventually get back on track, but at the moment it is being badly run by the owners, and the players have a terrible attitude.
Granted Ten Hag hasn't always brought in the best players, but we all know that Man Utd have had issues long before Ten Hag was there, and they probably will once he is sacked.
The first thing that Man Utd needs to fix, is for the ownership to back the Manager on who comes in, and who goes out of the club.

That's not Ten Hag's fault.
i've revised my thinking and i don't think Ten Hag will last past November. It's primarily down to the players though, because as with previous managers they have just downed tools again.
There is obviously some much bigger issues behind the scenes. It is now a toxic club. I'm not sure any decent manager would want to take the job on

i've revised my thinking and i don't think Ten Hag will last past November. It's primarily down to the players though, because as with previous managers they have just downed tools again.

Regardless of what you think of Ten Hag and the mistakes that his made at Man Utd (which I think he has made mistakes) I don't think that Ten Hag can also be blamed for Moyes, Mourinho, Van Gaal, and Solskjaer all also having issues with the team.
I mean Solskjaer has even called the players "snowflakes" which is quite damming for someone that always normally seems to be quite friendly with people.
Plus nobody can stop players from jogging instead of running.
that seems to value Man U at 1 billion

I don’t understand why Joelinton who fouls continuously throughout every game - quite often overly aggressively.. hardly ever gets a warning never mind a yellow or red card
Fulham’s João Palhinha is exactly the same he made two bad challenges against ManU today in the first minute - leaving players on the floor

Agree with MTVN. The decision was contentious but we dont look a good team at all.
This season we've only looked good against PSV, possibly Man U and Shef Utd. Lucky to beat Man Ccity but proud we matched them. Looked OK versus Palace but after that, I'm struggling to think of a game where we played well.
Artetas signings to make the team more difficult to beat have slowed down the game and hampered us in attack. The keeper situation? A completely pointless issue that was created by Arteta and no one else. Totally unnecessary to unsettle Ramsdale IMO
I said ages ago he needs to stop trying to be a football clever clogs and try to get back to the attacking, 100MPH football that we were playing last year. At the moment, Arsenal have taken one step forward and two steps back.
yeah, i just don't think arsenal are clicking the way they did at the start of last season and the worrying thing for the top teams is that city are like a purring engine already, whereas they dont usually come good until after christmas

That's a lazy argument imo.
It doesn't matter how either team played, it matters that the Referee and VAR both heavily interfered with the outcome of the match.
I remember people using similar arguments at the Qatar World Cup when France beat England, saying that "England weren't very good" like that even matters when discussing Referees either being corrupt or highly incompetent.
With all due respect, Arsenal could've played like Birmingham City or Sheffield Wednesday, and it still doesn't change the fact that Newcastle had 12 men on the pitch today.

That could also be said for Liverpool against Tottenham, but I think that we can all agree that Liverpool were harshly treated in that game.
The performance of a team being poor shouldn't be an excuse for a Referee to be a twat to said team.

Five weeks ago, we had a perfectly good goal disallowed for LIverpool. Liverpool's response was a lengthy statement that called for more transparency and training for the officials. The press and public response was to laugh at the whinging scousers instead of realizing this was going to happen again. Arteta was one of those who dismissed the decisions against Liverpool. Yet now he's outraged.

Fair enough on Arteta's hypocrisy.
And tbh I do think that Arsenal have issues going forward, and I get that as an Arsenal supporter that you're understandably very concerned about that.
For me as a neutral to both teams, I was watching to see a fair game play out, which I feel didn't happen on Saturday, and I don't know if this makes you feel any better about the result, but was Newcastle any better than Arsenal during the match?

every team does that stuff in the penalty areaThat may be true but when the ref sees it, he's supposed to call it.
Joelinton has his arms stretched out. It's a completely unnatural position to jump. It's like he's anticipating contact, which comes from the challenge. It's foul and about as clear-cut as you can get. The only defense other than the one you have given is that Gabby should be stronger. That doesn't mean much, because it's still a foul if Gabby is strong or weak.
Idont agree with Artetas rant and I think the rant was more due to frustration that Artetas realising he's not the football clever clogs hes thinks he is
yeah, i think there is much too much frustration/outcry from players and coaches across the league. They need to settle down, and let the refs settle down too. The alterative won't be good for anyone
