Surely No one braindead enough to actually think that should be a red for Palmer ?

That was 100% a handball

FUCKING BLIND CUNT REF

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MISS THAT LIVE

not really sure I saw the replay but wasn't the previous play penalty for chelsea?

Red card in this game 100% a mix of the rain and the rash tackles its calling out for a scrappy one

Palmer could’ve already had a straight red, and then asked the ref for a yellow for us, which should be a yellow on its own.

But of course nothing happens.

I guess Arsenal get their turn on the PGMOL today

That’s a pen

Already a controversial game where the refs decisions will be talked about more than the performances.

Palmer should have a red, Rice should be on a yellow and whilst I think it was a penalty I'd imagine people will disagree with that.

Neville absolutely rock hard with that decision

Odegaard is a fantastic player but he must have the highest rate of running into defenders than any other player in the league, it’s like sometimes his vision is too good and he doesn’t know which option to pick

That sure seemed like a pen in real time

Feels very similar to the Romero NLD one, unnatural position, zero time to react

Terrible start from arsenal really, surface isn't helping either side but we look pretty bad

bloody hell it's been 15 minutes already?

I'm sick, Palmer is their new Drogba

Arsenal was cooked from the start by the fact that Chelsea managed to offload Havertz to them. He doesn't even need to start.

I thought refs in general was suppose to be harder on swarming the ref this season but I haven't seen any difference between this season and the one before in refs handing out cards for that.

It looks like Arteta’s taken Chelsea seriously. He’s playing without a handicap (Havertz)

Gary Neville has declared it is a penalty, it isn't a penalty, he agrees with the rule, he disagrees with the rule, defenders shouldn't do it, defenders are told to do it, all in about 3 minutes.

I think it's unfortunate, but a pen

Stopped a shot on target with his arm, has to be a pen.

Can xhaka come back?

I swear 10 years ago commentators wouldve been calling that a very giveable handball, and this guys basically outraged about it. And the enforcement of the hanballs havent got any stricter in 10 years, I dont know why so many commentators have switched it up so much

Pen?

Ref is getting surrounded every 10 seconds, there goes those rules lol

can they show us the replay tho

clear as fucking day, my man doing his best Boeing impression

Stfu Gary, it’s a stonewall pen

This game is going to be a fucking shit show.

Ben White's hair must be some kind of punishment

I hope it keeps raining as I am genuinely fascinated to see what if any difference it makes to the texture and composition of Arteta's hair.

lmao i love it jorgi

It is a bit tiring that so much of the coverage of football in the UK is the pundits being angry or confused or simply ignorant at the rules. It's rampant.

I think if an outstretched arm blocks a shot on target it should always be a pen regardless of reaction times. That said I've no idea if in the current version of the rules this was meant to be a pen or not

Not too sure what neville is on about the desparation of the lunge put his arm way out there

VAR when a player commits a red card tackle on an Arsenal player: 👨‍🦯

VAR when an Arsenal player touches the ball: 🧐🔍

20minutes and we've done absolutely nothing

When this Chelsea team clicks they’re going to be very, very good.

It's time to put Neville out to pasture, how is he still trying to justify clotheslining the ball?

Saliba should've been sent off, arsenal getting help from the referees as always

Spirit of the game ? Handball is handball mf lol

LMAO JORGINHO INSIDE MAN

Were dominating Arsenal with our B team same with as we did against Liverpool. We simply have the best midfield in the world.

YES

There’s no nice way to say this. Rice and Jorginho have been fucking diabolical so far

Surprised no var check on that challenge on Jesus
