Dalot taking Semenyo out while he was in the air is such a coward's challenge. It's the kind of thing that they should consider as a red card (as they do in rugby) because it's incredibly dangerous and there's no attempt to play the ball.

I would like to point out (once again) that last season, William Saliba got a faint touch on the ball before clashing heads with Joao Pedro.
It was given as a penatly on the pitch and VAR upheld.
I'd woud like to know what Laws of the Game reasons distinguish that from Pope on Gyokeres today.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

As a reminder: Trump’s first act was to pardon HUNDREDS of J6 rioters who assaulted and beat DC police officers. Trump’s been responsible for a large percentage of the total assaults (and many of the worst/most brutal) on DC police in the last decade.
Trump: "You know, they love to spit in the face of the police ... They’re standing and they’re screaming at them an inch away from their face, and then they start spitting in their face. And I said, ‘you tell them you spit, and we hit’, and they get hit real hard."
Trump places Washington DC police under federal control and will deploy National Guard – live updates
Trump declares ‘public safety emergency’ despite record crime low; DC mayor says ‘any comparison to a war-torn country is hyperbolic and false’

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Yeah, I didn't mention it at the time but definitely thought it was just as bad as the tackle that got Merino a deserved second yellow.
That tackle on Kiwior also... amazing he gave nothing

It's truly ATROCIOUS officiating to give Liverpool a free kick for advantage here.
They took a shot at goal!

For those who think Elon Musk just “turned” bad a few years ago:
In 2014, Musk threatened an entire team at Tesla with deportation when their leader asked him to address a brake safety issue with the Model S. She was forced to resign.

It’s probably just a coincidence that Arsenal keep winning in the competition that isn’t controlled by the PGMOL, right?

This shit is dangerous and I'm afraid one of our players will end up with a leg break again. PGMOL and Sky are legit destroying the PL product. That "Dark Arts" narrative earlier in the season, is a way of dehumanizing our players and making it "ok" to tackle them.

We’d conceded 2 shots worth 0.05 xG on 73% possession before that goal.
Feels like this whole season we just find a way to give up one silly half chance and concede.
Doesn’t feel like Brentford have done anything this game.

What a night, what a performance from this far from 100% team, one of the great European nights at the Emirates.
Declan Rice has produced two of the greatest free kicks you'll ever see at this level, and we 100% deserved that third goal too.
Incredible. This team deserves so much love. #arsenal

How is that not a booking for Jude Bellingham? Pulled Martin Ødegaard back from behind TWICE to stop an Arsenal break.
That's inexcusably poor refereeing.

Have a look at the BBC comments under the Arsenal match report.
It's full of people talking down MLS, talking about his 'arrogance', how he's 'overrated' and 'believing the hype' about himself.
That's what the tabloid rag newspaper reporting has done to opinions of a grounded young (black) man.
