Mike Oxlong Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 Chileans are tough folk. You don't live in some of the driest deserts in the world, survive down mines interminably or win back-to-back Copa Americas unless you have a bit about you. Alexis Sanchez has a bit about him. On an Arsenal team lacking any discernible backbone he is the closest thing to vertebrae they have. The scrappy striker hates to lose and is always sure to flap his hands or argue with team-mates if he does not feel people are rowing in behind him - a common enough occurrence at the Emirates these days. If there is a player to like on this Arsenal team it is Alexis Sanchez. During Wednesday night's win over Leicester Alexis Sanchez was hard to like. With the Gunners leading 1-0 in injury time, Sanchez stands in front of Austrian catapult Christian Fuchs as he prepares to launch a long throw into the Arsenal box. The Leicester full-back, with zero Fuchs given - the wacky internet sensation that he is - flings the ball at Sanchez's face to earn another throw and, you know, get South American to back the **** off. After being struck, Sanchez counted to five and fell in the heap like he had just been gunned down from behind the grassy knoll. It was all a little unedifying. You may have thought Sanchez was faking an injury to waste time or trick the referee into handing over possession but last night the 28-year-old former Barcelona attacker took to Twitter to prove he had been the victim of a footballing assault. First off, a warning to readers: This is in no way unsuitable for people of a sensitive nature. This is the sort of cut that, if a toddler cried after receiving, you would tell them to jog on and act their age. If you did it shaving you would not even reach for a sliver of toilet paper. It is, in essence, a mere scratch. It is not worth tweeting a picture of and it definitely does not require that giant novelty bag of ice that Sanchez is holding to his mouth. In Sanchez's mind it is a "swollen lip". His former team-mate Lionel Messi had a swollen lip on Sunday but scored two goals in El Clasico. I wonder what size of ice pack he needed on that bad boy after winning El Clasico with the last kick of the game?
Carl the Llama Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39729222 Quote Christian Fuchs should have been booked for throwing the ball at Alexis Sanchez "on purpose" during Arsenal's 1-0 win over Leicester, says Arsene Wenger. As Leicester chased an equaliser, defender Fuchs took a throw-in and seemingly aimed the ball at Sanchez. The Chilean, who went down theatrically after a short delay, was booked for standing too close to the throw-in. "Fuchs was lucky not to get a yellow card because he threw the ball at him on purpose," said Arsenal boss Wenger. Relive Wednesday's Premier League action The ball hit Sanchez on the shoulder, but the 28-year-old fell to the ground clutching his face and was shown a yellow card by referee Mike Jones for not retreating far enough. According to the Football Association's 'Laws of the game', law 15 states that "opponents must stand at least two metres from the point at which the throw-in is taken". "In the first two attempts when Fuchs tried to throw the ball in, Sanchez stood next to him and didn't know he had to be further away," said Wenger. "Also the referee did not tell him to move further away and after that he got a yellow card because he didn't accept the rule. I accept that. He was not the required distance. The referee or the linesman should have told him." Sanchez later posted pictures on Twitter of his split lip, but Wenger revealed that it came from a separate incident, which he was similarly unhappy about. "Robert Huth went really in with him I think," he added. "I helped him to get up and he was bleeding on the lips." Sanchez, 28, posted two pictures of his swollen lip on Twitter shortly after the game Comedy gold.

Except Sanchez is a massive cnut because he's an Arsenal player and Vardy had every right to go down like a sack of shit. Pretty sure Vardy didn't roll around like he'd taken a stray cannonball to the face. But yeah there are some similarities and yeah Sanchez is a far worse cvnt than Vardy.
st albans fox Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 Huth went in on him? sanchez blocked huth off - should have been our free kick !
Fox92 Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 Sky actually tweeted this: Quote WATCH: Christian Fuchs' throw-in 'KOs' Alexis Sanchez or was this an exaggeration from the Arsenal man? 'KOs'. Yes really.

The audacity of Sanchez to throw himself to the floor once more feigning injury a minute after being booked... Huth was flabbergasted at the ref's decision there, and rightly so.

M0901 Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 I'll be sure to give him a Chile reception when he next visits the KP...
ealingfox Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 Tbf i can understand why Benalouane thought that was a legal way to win a header given that in our previous game Benteke did something similar and was rewarded with a goal. All of you saying that were a red can jog on as well ffs.
Dan Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 I can understand the point of bending the rules to gain an advantage but that was worse than anything I've ever seen from any of this lot. You can't win because when you say it you'll be accused of bias but I wouldn't defend any player of ours who did that last night. There was nothing clever about it. It's just embarrassing. The ref got it right to book Sanchez but wrong to not book him again. Genuinely astounding to me he's avoided a second yellow. Benalouane should've gone as well although people who compare that to a leg breaker are hilarious. It's a bad challenge but it's never going to cause injury. Fuchs absolutely right to do what he did. Wenger should be laughed at from all angles for such embarrassing comments. Hope Stoke do their usual on Arsenal in a few weeks. The one fixture of the season I whole-heartedly back Stoke City.
Nick Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 1 hour ago, Col city fan said: Absolutely mate. I think we all know that Vardy can be a diving little scum bag, don't we? (Or is that too strong?) Playing for contact for some reason doesn't seem as bad as outright diving!
Guest Col city fan Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 What I'm hoping is that Sanchez has woken up this morning, knowing that what he did last night was childish and utterly embarrassing. I hope he does know this and learns not to make himself look such a tit again. However, I have a feeling he'll be denying it and in his own mind, will be blaming Fuchs for making him fall over like he'd been shot.
Number 6 Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 What's Wenger on? Legitimate to kick a ball against a player to win a throw in/corner but not throw it at him? Stupid. And to be fair, referee called the incident correctly, althoigh maybe should have enforced distance from the thrower.
Thor Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 Fuchs should practise this one for the next time we play Arsenal, and do a proper job on the irritating little oik.

Koke Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 Most annoying thing about this incident is the Rugby community getting on their ****ing high horse again.
Manwell Pablo Posted 27 April 2017 Posted 27 April 2017 I just find it hilarious Fuchs threw the ball at him legend.

I didn't suggest that Ben Kay was the man in the photo. Only that Ben Kay is insecure about his sport to the point where he has felt the need to post a tweet like that, as if the incidents are in any way relocatable.
