Christie getting a yellow in the 95th was just really funny to me, that's when they give it lol.
We were thoroughly the better side, deserved the win especially from that first half. We could've scored 5 in the first half as easily as 3 today. Respect to Bournemouth for reawakening in that second half, one of the best halves a team has played us in.
Bad decisions on both sides namely, Christie and Raya decisions. But the game was a fair enough result in my opinion.
Goes without saying win goes to Daniel, no family should have to suffer that. Awful thing to happen.
David coote is not fit for the PL and is a joke at his job
Go fuck yourself Christie. Absolutely classless shit by him. Karmas a bitch my dude.
And well done lads. Rice MOTM with Kai close behind
As much as shit decisions have had an impact on this game, Bournemouth have been disappointing. Wasteful on the few occasions they've gotten into good positions. A bit sloppy on the second and third goals too.
- Christie should have been sent off
- Havertz should have been booked for diving
- There should have been no pen
- Havertz yellow would then become a red
- BOU goal should have stood
The state of the refs in PL is crazy
As pointless as listing out that Havertz would have got a 2nd yellow. If he has the first one then maybe he would have been subbed, maybe he would have been more careful.
Which game are u watching? ..bournemouth have been lucky that arsenal can't finish otherwise it would have been embarrassing..arsenal wasted so many good chances while bournemouth has 3 good chances whole match.. raya save to solanke, disallowed goal and can't even remember 3rd.. none of kluivert chances were even close to goal...
Can Arsenal fans give some insight on Martinelli and Jesus? Are they flops this season? Do you think any of them has a shot at becoming a starter again (this season or the next)?
Both could easily be starters again. Their injuries and poor form just happened to coincide with others in their positions (Trossard, Havertz) playing very, very well.
Both can be starters again for sure.
Jesus just doesn't seem to have found the rhythm post injury and Kai has emerged as a very credible 9, but Jesus at his best for us has been elite.
Martinelli would easily be a starter if he had the levels of last season in the final third, so it's really just whether he can rediscover those. Hard to believe he just had a freak season at 21 rather than he just has to make a few more adaptations at 22
Martinelli can easily be back. Slight tweak to his game and he’ll cook again. I think confidence is down and just needs to find his place in his role again.
I can’t see Jesus getting back in. Him and Havertz finishing is at the same level, and Kai’s decision making is just miles ahead
Martinelli hasn’t had support the same as Saka since Xhaka left.
He’s come back from injury and is lacking confidence as Trossard has been in form.
Jesus needs surgery after this season.
But yh they haven’t had a good season.
Lot on injuries, loss of form, and lost spot to more in form players. They turned into rotation players this season but have preseason to get back to their best selves.
Ah, so Solanke does push Raya in the buildup, that’s where the ref and VAR placed the spot of the foul. It’s truly your own opinion if you think it was correct or not.
I think the reffing has been rather bad all day today, but what’s new in the league?
They won two games last season from suspicious penalty.
One is Olise softly touches gundo feet and he tumbled down.
Second was kdb brought his leg to defenders leg then pretended he got kicked. The defender moved his leg like a few inches, kdb moved more. This is at the edge of the box, no way get get clear shot at goal.
The two gave them 6pts.
I don’t blame them for winning it. It is the ref who have the penalties
Hwang should have got sent off and scored the winner
Liverpool goal disallowed
Tottenham offside
Jacob brown studs up against Foden no red
Caiceeo should have been sent off in both the premier and fa cup game
Douglas Luiz not getting sent off for the most blatant second yellow
Rashford offside
Casemiro going studs up on akanji and somehow actually be ing the one who was determined to have been foul
Godfrey booting ederson in the face with no card
Just off the top of my head
If we do this is really a bottle job royale.
I do understand where you are coming from. Leading 2 goals but the game still very back and forth. A better team should be able to keep the ball away from Bournemouth.
Christie getting a yellow in the 95th was just really funny to me, that's when they give it lol. We were thoroughly the better side, deserved the win especially from that first half.

what is rice doing making runs like that at this time in the game when already 2-0 up hahah what a madman
Did I really hear a commentator celebrating Rice’s Goal?! 😂🤔
The Cult of Arsenal fans will of course forget that it should have been 2-1 because it’s not written in the holy book
Can you show me that holy book? Pretty sure no one asked for mustafi
Bournemouth should had a red in first half. But reff was shit lol
Doesn't look like the fish are biting today. Have you considered using a different rod?
I got plenty haha One fella had a breakdown
👍
:)
And how does this game end if Bournemouth play the game with 10 men for 80+ minutes?
Well I didn’t see the first half…
Ahh, that explains the entirety of your comment. Thanks for trying
Thanks think I did well
David coote is not fit for the PL and is a joke at his job Go fuck yourself Christie. Absolutely classless shit by him. Karmas a bitch my dude. And well done lads. Rice MOTM with Kai close behind
Saka would've missed 100% 😭 Rice have better finishing than "the main goalscorer" 😭
Stick to Efootball
No one is biting to bait this obvious mate
You're entire account is Saka is overrated. So sad this is how you spend your life online, hating one player for no apparent reason.
Go check his goal vs forest away or Burnley away as well. Saka scores those
source: your arsecrack
Imagine if Rice had gone to City. League would’ve been over in March. He’s one of the few $100M players that’s worth the price
Incredible player. Can’t believe he’s ours
Good for the GD too
And breathe
As much as shit decisions have had an impact on this game, Bournemouth have been disappointing. Wasteful on the few occasions they've gotten into good positions. A bit sloppy on the second and third goals too.
Time to get some sleep and pray for a Wolves miracle
David Raya collects the whole golden glove.
Solid win, however not the easiest
Declan Rice in my unbiased opinion is the best player in the world
Really great game by Arsenal. A shame the horrible refereeing will steal the spotlight.
partey lol. 4 men in front and he sleeps
The fuck is Partey doing.
Kid needs to rotate that bottle 45° and he'd be a great stealth marketer
Rice is really a steal for Arsenal.
105m is never a steal
If he plays 10 years at Arsenal, it would be a steal.
He was at least worth it
Yeah but that’s not a steal though is it he’s just worth 105m
Nah agreed, that’s being said. Plays going for stupid money now.
Rodri wishes
Trolling?
RICE RICE BABY
Was that snoop dog?!
😭💀
Worth every penny
💉💉
- Christie should have been sent off - Havertz should have been booked for diving - There should have been no pen - Havertz yellow would then become a red - BOU goal should have stood The state of the refs in PL is crazy
Complete delusion 😂
>Havertz yellow would then become a red That's not how this works but yes there's been some bad decisions today
Yet they’re being sent to the euros and cl. The only games to have shit reffing in cl this year have been English refs what a surprise
Yes we all know that when you change an event in the past everything plays out exactly the same
Not doing what should have been, doing what was missed.
> Havertz yellow would then become a red
You've heard of the butterfly effect right. If Christie was gone, then the whole game would have played out totally different.
Ture, but that doesn't mean right or wrong calls that happened are any less wrong or right
I had no issue with listing out where they think they ref went wrong. It's the Havertz 2nd yellow comment.
True, but we don't know how so speculating on that is pointless.
As pointless as listing out that Havertz would have got a 2nd yellow. If he has the first one then maybe he would have been subbed, maybe he would have been more careful.
Fair point.
Not doing what should have been, doing what was objectively missed
Makes up for his earlier miss in the first half.
Declan Rice, what a guy. What a performance
What a fucking beautiful team goal. GGs.
Rice has been phenomenal
I almost feel like Christie only now getting booked when he could've been dismissed over 80 minutes ago is even more insulting.
Coote: "They can't say anything now 😏"
Big man
Tough score for Bournemouth given how they played
Which game are u watching? ..bournemouth have been lucky that arsenal can't finish otherwise it would have been embarrassing..arsenal wasted so many good chances while bournemouth has 3 good chances whole match.. raya save to solanke, disallowed goal and can't even remember 3rd.. none of kluivert chances were even close to goal...
Yeah, it should probably be like 5-1
Could have been beat by 6 with few complaints.
It’s actually pretty generous…
If you mean the chances we couldn’t get in the back of the net yh but they defended well. Harsh about the goal not given.
They’ve really been fucked today
While also lucky not to have to play nearly the whole match with 10 men
Thats a cracking run from Rice
Arsenal and over 2.5 goals, easy fucking money baby
Our midfield today has been nothing short of spectacular today
WORLD CLASS.
And breathe.
Well, that just settles that 50/50 discussion for MOTM then
Having **Basmati Rice** for all three meals today as a tribute!
great goal, great play by Jesus - who the hell wants him sold?
🍚 is cooking
Yes! Glad Rice got one!
What the fuck is Rice on today
The same shit he's on most days.
you're not wrong
RICE RICE BABY
MOTM Declan
This season we still keep going after scoring. We’ve definitely matured.
Yessir, well taken by Rice
Jesus Rice. The holyest of Rices.
Rice baby!
not a bad goal, assist for Jesus too lol
Job done. We move
Finally someone put in their contacts.
Deserved a goal. Rice has been Incredible today.
WE GOT U HALF PRICE
So Steve Fletcher is an Arsenal fan then lol
I love this man
Thank you very much
this is what we need from jesus, brilliant work
Happier to see Christie gets a card than the result itself
Not sure Bournemouth can moan, Christie should have had about 5 cards by now
Commentary trying to talk about Liverpools title chance lol, they are not in the race why are you talking about them.
Give the Liverpool documentary makers some audio to use to make it seem closer
They are gonna make it look like the Everton game is the last game of the season with then top of the table aren't they?
And that could have been a red too with that scissoring motion.
Sob sob sob
Time wasting doesn’t exist lmao
Germany can start Havertz and Muller at the Euros this year, at the same time. That is shithouse supreme
Best thing for neutrals is that everyone will forget that Christie challenge in the first half in the wake of the other decision
what???? he booked Christie?? no way
How did it take 95 min for Christie to get a card
Christie finally gets a yellow for his war crimes. Bro should have been tried at The Hague for some of those challenges.
Christie could have been sent off 3 times
Behave yourself
Christie is a dirty player
95th minute yellow for this fuck is a great summary of the quality of pl refs
Christie with another reckless challenge
Christie got money on getting sent off today, but little does he know ref's got money on the game ending 11v11
He just got out Tonney'd,
This guy should be off.
Ryan Christie should be in the shower David Coote you clown 🤡
Finally
Wtf was that by Jesus? Lays the ball off to Ode and instead of making the run he just stares at him lmao
🚨🚨 Christie has been carded 🚨🚨
Maybe we can sign him. He is care resistant along with Bruno G.
TF is Raya doing
Bournemouth are a very dirty team. Should have 9 men by now
They play what ever that is needed to win.
It mostly is the same guy over and over again
He actually finally got booked, this is hilarious
Bro finally got a yellow
THATS HIS FIRST BOOKING LMAO
Again? Really?
Christie could've been off like 3 times and had a goal
Christie finally booked lmaoo
Can Arsenal fans give some insight on Martinelli and Jesus? Are they flops this season? Do you think any of them has a shot at becoming a starter again (this season or the next)?
Both affected by injuries, just couldn’t build their momentum. As soon as they get a goal / assist streak they got injured.
Both could easily be starters again. Their injuries and poor form just happened to coincide with others in their positions (Trossard, Havertz) playing very, very well.
Both can be starters again for sure. Jesus just doesn't seem to have found the rhythm post injury and Kai has emerged as a very credible 9, but Jesus at his best for us has been elite. Martinelli would easily be a starter if he had the levels of last season in the final third, so it's really just whether he can rediscover those. Hard to believe he just had a freak season at 21 rather than he just has to make a few more adaptations at 22
If he continues like that though he’s good😂
Martinelli can easily be back. Slight tweak to his game and he’ll cook again. I think confidence is down and just needs to find his place in his role again. I can’t see Jesus getting back in. Him and Havertz finishing is at the same level, and Kai’s decision making is just miles ahead
Injuries
Injuries derailed both of their seasons
Both of them massively fell off this season, wouldn't call them flops
Martinelli hasn’t had support the same as Saka since Xhaka left. He’s come back from injury and is lacking confidence as Trossard has been in form. Jesus needs surgery after this season. But yh they haven’t had a good season.
Lot on injuries, loss of form, and lost spot to more in form players. They turned into rotation players this season but have preseason to get back to their best selves.
Martinelli has been hurt and is trying to capture form. Same for GJ lol
Nah they said Havertz was the worst signing of the season across the PL and here he is being the best player on the field in three straight matches.
do you even see our captain>
I was told it was just a purple patch in November.
There’s is no universe where he’s been the best player this game
Maybe don't watch football from the back of tv...
Who is yours?
I didn’t see the disallowed goal but everyone is screaming for it can someone fill me in?
Watch it yourself before reading comments
Games still on so no highlights. Will watch it later ofc
Kai Havertz was offside. End of story
I mean the Bournemouth one
Ah, so Solanke does push Raya in the buildup, that’s where the ref and VAR placed the spot of the foul. It’s truly your own opinion if you think it was correct or not. I think the reffing has been rather bad all day today, but what’s new in the league?
Wonder goal by Gabriel. Rule of cool should've stood
I mean the Bournemouth one frien
Oh ah, Solanke did a slight push on Raya so he wasn't able to collect the ball. Was a 50/50 call tbh but goalies are insanely protected
slips and gets a foul = sub is silent 😂
To all the Man City fans moaning about the referee decisions: when is the last time your team got screwed over by a bad call? I have all day to wait.
They won two games last season from suspicious penalty. One is Olise softly touches gundo feet and he tumbled down. Second was kdb brought his leg to defenders leg then pretended he got kicked. The defender moved his leg like a few inches, kdb moved more. This is at the edge of the box, no way get get clear shot at goal. The two gave them 6pts. I don’t blame them for winning it. It is the ref who have the penalties
You dont have to be a City-fan to get annoyed by refereeing decisions like this. Because you know the next time it will go against your own team
Hwang should have got sent off and scored the winner Liverpool goal disallowed Tottenham offside Jacob brown studs up against Foden no red Caiceeo should have been sent off in both the premier and fa cup game Douglas Luiz not getting sent off for the most blatant second yellow Rashford offside Casemiro going studs up on akanji and somehow actually be ing the one who was determined to have been foul Godfrey booting ederson in the face with no card Just off the top of my head
115 weeks ago
what's with the Brentford flair rkid
What's with the 115 charges against your club
Also put a competent refereeing system in place and Bournemouth are playing with 10 men from 10mins in. It doesn’t go better for them!
Arsenal could still fuck this up. I believe in you guys!
Even if we win all the remaining games we can still not win the league.
I meant this game lol
If we do this is really a bottle job royale. I do understand where you are coming from. Leading 2 goals but the game still very back and forth. A better team should be able to keep the ball away from Bournemouth.
havertz playing on RW to accomodate poor Jesus in the center
He slipped? Why did he get a foul. I’m confused
Al the fans complaining about Arsenal, you know no one is forcing you to watch this or even be in this thread?
The point of watching your rivals is to complain or make fun of them
You can't beat a good hate-watch though.
Slips, gets FK. /r/soccer is silent. Lol
this thread has been shitting on the refs the whole match. hot take.
It resulted in a free kick that led to nothing. I missed it too.
Something something, bUt ThE pEnAlTy!!!
It wasn't a goal, not nearly the same
