I'm done listening to all the mental gymnastics needed to conclude that Joelinton didn't foul Gabriel

although Joelinton does have his hands on Gabriel, there isn't enough to award a foul as Gabriel had made an action to play the ball before any contact

The ball falls through the gap between Joelinton's arms and Gabriel's neck that's being forced down. The only reason that gap exists is because Joelinton is forcing Gabriel's head down, but that doesn't matter because an "action" by Gabriel already occurred? It's nonsense, they wanted to give the goal, it's that simple.

They tried 3 times to disallow it!

Refs are terrified of giving calls against Arsenal because Arteta goes fucking psycho every time. He's been on their necks for over a year now and it shows with the treatment they get from referees, particularly in tight calls.

It was a clear goal. Be angry at Gabriel for not standing strong on his man, be angry at Raya for flapping a simple cross, read the rules and get over it.

They must be very brave since they do it all the fucking time.

How? How has he been on their necks. Do you have anything to back this claim up.

Yes we've famously got the rub of the green in tight calls.

I'm going to invite joelinton to your house and have him put all his weight on your back in a 2 handed shove and see if you can stay on your feet.

Grow up.

Go for it. I'm about the same size as Gabriel and would have no problem standing up without going down like Gabriel did. The reason Gabriel went down is because he deliberately went down to try and flick the ball away, which is exactly what the refs have said here.

The rest of your post is Le Tissier level conspiracy nonsense. You get tight calls your way all the time.

As for Arteta being on ref's necks. He absolutely obviously is. He never shuts up about them! He got one fired just last year!

You'd fall like a sack of shit.

This makes no sense. He's a top rate defender with 3 years of pl experience. He knows how to flick a ball behind. Without joelinton pushing him he flicks it behind for a corner 10/10 times. The only thing that stopped him was the shove. And he goes for the ball so it's not a foul? What kind of stupid logic is this?

You get tight calls your way all the time.

Some. Overwhelmingly drowned out by the poor calls we get.

As for Arteta being on ref's necks. He absolutely obviously is. He never shuts up about them! He got one fired just last year!

  1. he rarely talks about the refs. I can think of maybe 3 or 4 occasions from his entire time at the club.

  2. that ref got himself fired. He didn't draw an offside line in a game during a title run in. And he didn't even get fired, that ref now trains other refs. Scandalous.

What is your take on who assassinated JFK?
