    Thanks - that does make it funnier that some of their fans were hollering for him to get a 2nd yellow while he was in actual open play possession in the second half

    I didn't see the first half yellow and it seems hard to get a unanimous answer about whether the ball was in play. If there was a case to appeal one of the yellows I wonder whether UEFA might not look on it too favourably because they were obviously trying to clamp down on penalty antics, and will just want to vengefully put down a marker. He already embarrassed FIFA in front of their Qatari blood money buddies by making the WC final all about his shithousing then making sweet love to the golden glove. If the phantom yellow in the shootout isn't even in the books is it just moot though? Maybe ref just decided not to take his name after he realised the match ball was genuinely suspiciously missing

    It's funny watching the shootout back with that commentator in honking outraged prefect mode, constantly misdiagnosing what's actually happened with the yellow, while Lucy Ward's audibly screaming off-mic when Emi makes saves It's mad that after everything that went on he got a yellow for innocuously asking for a ball when there genuinely wasn't one on the pitch, only for it to mysteriously reappear from the Lille end just as his own teammate was trying to take the pen. You almost pulled it off Lmao also at the idea that Emi was sailing deadly close to the wind like he probably doesn't know the rules for shootout yellow cards better than any keeper alive, he lives for this shit

    I reckon it'd have been checked but cleared if not given on the pitch Interesting seeing a lot of Arsenal fans saying Emery hates them because he threw the game against City and then tried hard to beat Arsenal again - Watkins and Martinez were unavailable against City and two of the three midfielders that were rotated in also started against Arsenal. Think the difference was probably Foden casually slapping in three worldies and Arsenal methodically aiming all of their shots at Emi or the side netting yesterday, but what do I know Spurs forum by comparison seemed to have about as many posts saying "BAILEY 1-0 GET IN UP THE **** VILLA" as we did

    Poor Emi
  6. Annoyman
    Pleased for the lad! Very composed

    Lmao Bailey appealing for the ball being over the line as he walks the rebound in from one inch out

    Pure McGrath from Diego

    Impressive stuff from Diaby to get a great goal and an assist after fasting all day. A very well-deserved banana. Also impressive from Zaniolo to come on with an excellent display from the bench without getting booked, despite his crippling addiction to dodgy yellow cards Couple of really powerful runs from Rogers in the first half, almost replicating McGinn's ability to turn with the ball and drive forward from deep, but he needs to add the defensive discipline and decision-making Always a tough fixture, their setup was compensating for their injuries well for 30 minutes, but we were in control and beating their press pretty easily in the second half. Nice to get a competent, comfortable win on a day of mad results, equally nice to finally do the job against these. 4 points each from Wolves and West Ham feels like a big improvement on recent seasons where those fixtures often felt like banging your head against a gd wall

    Bugs me how backpasses are legal now if you make the vaguest pretense of pretending it's accidental
  11. Annoyman
    poor Duran queueing up for an effortless tap-in at the back post only for Konsa to do an assist so bad it was a goal
  12. Annoyman
    Has this statement been untrue at any single point in time this season?
  13. Annoyman
    I might be more worried about Diaby's confidence if he hadn't almost broken the net with a 20 yard side footer about 10 minutes ago
  14. Annoyman
    You'd think Hinchliffe was a ten time Ballon d'Or winner the way he 20/20 hindsights every missed chance with his nose in the air
  15. Annoyman
    Do we know if Diaby's fasting for Ramadan right now?
  16. Annoyman
    He's a character, he's popped up with a couple of important goals, and his all round play with the ball was very good today, but he'll always be too much of a discplinary liability to be a regular starter I can't imagine Emery hasn't been repeatedly telling him to sort that out as well
  17. Annoyman
    I think we're exactly as good as I think we are tbh It was a weird lineup today but I don't know how to solve the lack of McGinn or Kamara in midfield against physical opposition in a way that works for 90 minutes, if Emery's not chucking Iroegbunam in there he must not be ready/up to it tbh
  18. Annoyman
    Did we really have 70% possession? Honestly, setting that squad up to play constant 30% possession setpiece grappler idiotball *at home* like that is criminal, with a good manager and a new striker West Ham would easily be pushing the position we're in as well
  19. Annoyman
    Voted Zaniolo man of the match, despite his attempts to get sent off, because it feels good. Diaby and Cash both deserve a nod though. Some of the most impactful subs we've had this season tbh Thought the game was actually fairly well refereed on-field, didn't get why we didn't get a pen for the first half handball with how deliberately bigger he was making himself with the hand, both of their disallowed goals were correct applications of a pedantic law with the second being more clear cut if anything. Shame that circus distracted from going for a winner (was the free kick soft as well?), in reality that game had turned into a good point for West Ham
  20. Annoyman
    Gonna be honestly hard to pick a man of the match out of the subs
  21. Annoyman
    I tell you what, Karen Carney's been pretty quiet for the last ten minutes! (because she's not commentating on this game)
  22. Annoyman
    We've turned into such beefers, I guess earlier in the season we were more likely to be 3-0 up at half time and dealing with meekly shell-shocked opponents
  23. Annoyman
    Emery: get on there and get us a goal Nicolo Zaniolo: I can do a goal and a needless yellow. Final offer
  24. Annoyman
    Nicolo my man
  25. Annoyman
    Karen Carney's gonna be really confused about all the hatemail she's getting for a game she's not covering
