Don't think it was a penalty. That said I've seen worse decisions given.

Took a long time to get to it though. 

[Dave]

Aston Villa committing tactical fouls all over the place.

No doubt there fans will still be crying about Grealish getting fouled for the next 18 months.

I think the time was fair. It was the right call but it was a hard one to get right and can be interpretated by the letter of the law as a penalty.

The way Anthony Taylor trotted off as if he was some sort of Don for getting one decision right in about seven years was annoying though.

[Dave]

Imagine if Betfair offered odds on Wilfried Zaha losing his temper.

It’d be like printing cash. Mings knows exactly what he’s doing though. Attempts to stamp through the back of his knee.

[DeadLinesman]

Grealish really is an utter fanny.

[DeadLinesman]

Haha, bye Tyrone you utter mess.

[Dave]

What was Tyrone Mings thinking.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Mings is an idiot

[MUFC]

If Rashford wants to take his game to the next level, he really has to be more clinical.

[Cicero]

French media reporting Arteta will be sacked should Arsenal lose today and Tuchel rumored to replace him. 

[Dave]

What has Wilfried Zaha done to Martin Keown? There's Souness/Pogba levels of hate here.

[DeadLinesman]

Grealish is such a diving cunt.

Its a horrid situation. Something needs to change with the lack of discipline but who in there right mind would want to manage that group of players over the next 18 months? Its a horrid self inflicted scenario.

Same group of players that made it to the Europa league final and won the FA Cup

Players a new Manager is not going to be able to shift because they were either:

- Bought for a large transfer fee and have little to no likelihood of convincing the hierarchy to sell at a loss.

- Are on large wages and not good enough.

- Are on huge wages and long term contracts.

There's not enough to work with. The Young players are good but they're about 18 months off being good enough.

[Dave]

A very good second half from Aston Villa.

[Dave]

This feels worse than the 7-0.

[Cicero]

James and Chilwell both starting. Could’ve sworn they were reported to miss the next 2 games? 
 

Mendy; Chilwell, Zouma, Silva, James; Kante, Mount, Kovacic; Pulisic, Abraham, Werner

[Dave]

Zaha: "Goes down easily".

Grealish: "Draws a foul".

Thats the BBC for you.

Hope they are not being rushed back for this game...

It looks worse. It’s like your players aren’t even arsed.

You played better when you lost 7-0 to us. That was abysmal

The lack of leadership for such an experienced squad is astonishing.
