Mostly an Arsenal account, but gets dragged into politics because the world is batshit-crazy.

Must be nice to get credit for youth! Massive shout-out to Chelsea (man down, plucky upstarts). Meanwhile, our ENTIRE back four were younger and our CBs had never played together. Did that warrant a mention? No? Alright cool.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

1st time I think we’ve been outplayed in large spells in the league all season. No strikers & both CBs out, no Trossard & Ode not fit to start. Taylor doing his absolute best to screw us over, away to 2nd in the league, after a massive 3 game week… & still 5 clear at the top. Can’t really complain.

Five points clear having been to Newcastle, United, Liverpool and Chelsea. Could be a lot worse

An excellent point -- want to emphasize how much the early yellows to all the defenders and Zubimendi forced Arsenal to play more conservatively.
Arsenal rely on their defenders to win 1-v-1 duels to commit numbers forward. Without the two CBs and all the yellows, it's tough to do that.

The combination of missing both CBs and the flurry of early yellows meant a much more cautious Arsenal than you'd like, especially when playing against 10, but it's understandable.
Throw in a few players not really being at it and a point isn't great but it's ok.

To me, that yellow card disparity reveals a substantial, game-affecting difference in how the two sides were officiated.
Chelsea committed 12 fouls, Arsenal 13.
Chelsea got one yellow and one red. Arsenal got six yellows!

Disappointing, but a point away at 2nd place isn’t a disaster, especially while playing without your 1st choice CBs & it being the 3rd huge game in a week.

Wild how different we get reffed. 1st foul… shoulder to shoulder: instant yellow.

How many times can Cucurella and Caicedo get away with it but Arsenal have 4 cards.
Now Caicedo rolling around acting injured - what a joke.

The general week-to-week reffing of Caicedo makes that kind of tackle inevitable.

That’s gotta be a straight red for Caicedo!!! It’s his 6th foul, including shoving someone over. He’s a proper cunt, but Taylor has basically greenlit this by being tha pathetic l, biased cunt he is.

Already took the throw in before Taylor blew up & gave it to Chelsea. And Caicedo allowed to run around fouling all game with zero consequence.
