Kingleicester Posted 18 April 2021 Posted 18 April 2021 (edited) This arsenal game is disgusting m, if there are 2 managers out of there depth its these 2 Edited 18 April 2021 by Kingleicester
RowlattsFox Posted 18 April 2021 Posted 18 April 2021 Might be slight contact on the toes but it's still a dive.
trabuch Posted 18 April 2021 Posted 18 April 2021 Arsenal getting nicely shafted by VAR in this match.
StanSP Posted 18 April 2021 Posted 18 April 2021 Swings open the relegation fight again if Fulham win today. Only 4 points behind Burnley and Brighton...

FoyleFox Posted 18 April 2021 Posted 18 April 2021 Arsenal's amateur dramatics, diving and screaming are embarrassing.
RowlattsFox Posted 18 April 2021 Posted 18 April 2021 We will eventually get to a stage when defenders can't get close to attackers in fear of there being contact. Contact isn't a foul. 2

Not enough "hard" players anymore. 1
Super_horns Posted 18 April 2021 Posted 18 April 2021 Fulham need to keep hold of this. Be a big win!

According to what I've read past players had a totally different reaction to fouls they took the view never look like a player has hurt you get up and carry on even if it hurts like hell.I guess that's also why the ended up with career ending tackles.

All players do what they can to help their team, whether we like it or not.
Kingleicester Posted 18 April 2021 Posted 18 April 2021 Arteta must have some damming evidence on the Arsenal board, how is this fraud of a manager still in charge, looking like a mid table finish

filbertway Posted 18 April 2021 Posted 18 April 2021 Only way to stop the cheating is banning them for it 1

Society changed and football followed.

Society changed and football followed. I know, I think we've gone from one extreme to the other. We don't want players rolling around in "agony" at the slightest contact but nor do we want players just going out and trying to maim opponents as used to be the case. 1

That reflects society really with every event or word spoken they'll be a reaction, too often an over reaction to it with the help of social media which in the past wouldn't even have caused a ripple.
