The pundits on Sky saying Barton should have brought down Martial en route to the first goal (committed a professional foul). He tried. You can see him making a grab for his shirt. He just couldn't get near him.
As The Ox trips Aguero in the box, McManamanamanaman says "You don't need much contact", suggesting more is required than for Chelsea's yesterday.
Reading the BBC summary, it seems the two SFs are a measure of the current gap/quality between PL 1/2 and 4/7.
Gooners getting the rub of the green at the moment. Citeh have what appears to be a legit goal disallowed and Arsenal dishing out the fouls like fake news at a White House press conference....... What's the betting their 20% possession leads to a win......
Arsenal winner from Citeh's chronic inability to defend crosses. Probably Giroud. Still, I'll be able to spend that day gardening or lying in the spa without bothering with football.
Hopefully going to extra time. An extra 30mins of football to help the fatigue this week will do nicely.
Warm afternoon with lots of tired players. I reckon the age of Citeh's defence could be the deciding factor. Theo to come on and win it for the Arsene Wenger contract celebration?
