    It could be argued that this current Arsenal 11 is actually stronger than the starting 11. I'd have Havertz over Gyokeres tho. When he's fully fit, he's brilliant.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,167 ✭✭✭Damien360


    It's odd isn't it. Arsenal finally going for it. It's a more attacking team on the pitch now and PSG look out of options. Long shots only.

    That looked a pen on first view



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,157 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Thatll be looked at



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,839 ✭✭✭Schwiiing


    Arsenal could have won this handy if they started like this. Dominating this so far.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,277 ✭✭✭TheRona


    I'm sure that's part of the plan. Arsenal probably fancy themselves to have a better bench if they can keep things tight.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,199 ✭✭✭Robson99


    Really **** final. Shows how poor the Premier League was this season when a team like Arsenal won it

    Is there no Var to that possible peno ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,167 ✭✭✭Damien360


    That's a 50:50 heap. Not a peno for me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 21,522 ✭✭✭✭y0ssar1an22


    rice eventually booked, he needs to shut his gob



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,839 ✭✭✭Schwiiing


    Madueke pulled him down with him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,040 ✭✭✭McFly85


    That’s not a pen



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,573 ✭✭✭mobydopy


    Madueke grabs his arm. Not a pen for me



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 32,684 ✭✭✭✭Mars Bar


    Madueke went to the shop for that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,705 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    It wasn’t a peno. Madueke linked arms and pulled him down. Great decision. Arteta finally pulled up for his histrionics



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 600 ✭✭✭cgorzy


    Good call from the ref there Madueke let himself fall and was probably fouling by holding the arm



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    That is not a penalty, Madueke has himself hooked onto the PSG player first.

    Madueke ultimately grabbed him before going down, fair enough not to call it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,047 ✭✭✭✭josip


    Completely deserved cards for both. Fed up with the Arsenal moaning and toys out of the pram.

    A lot of dogs going to be walked late this evening.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,224 ✭✭✭✭TheCitizen


    never a penalty. Whining from Arteta and Rice unbelievable



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Dr Robert


    Not a hope was that pen ffs. Calm down Arteta



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,854 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Good call.

    Footballers really are thick. They still can't figure out VAR is checking in the background.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,153 ✭✭✭RoryMac


    A 50/50 for me, Madueke wrapping his arm around the PSG players arm went against him I'd say



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,199 ✭✭✭Robson99


    No Pen..Arsenal just trying to waste more time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,504 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Nowhere near a penalty. He hooks the defenders arm and falls to the ground.

    Hilarious tbf.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,796 ✭✭✭✭Fitz*


    In real time I thought that that was a penalty. After the replays, can see that Madeuke pulled yer man down trying to buy the penalty.

    Credit to the ref. Totally confident and justified in his decision.
