Mad start to this game. Mata with a lovely shot saved then a long punt by Mignolet completely fucked it’s way through our defence and Bruges could have scored and Maguire could have given away a penalty/gotten sent off. Then Bruno has a lovely shot tipped onto the post.

it’s end to end. Bruges will definitely score tonight.

 

Penalty for us and a red card for Bruges. Lovely save by the Bruges defender though. No idea what he was thinking. The keeper was behind him

 

What are they checking here? Most blatant handball possible.

 

Theres so much time left, giving up a goal is the final nail in the coffin, what are you thinkin?

 

VAR review of a very obvious save by a defender took like 5 minutes

 

Maybe they just kept playing it for people and laughing

 

Had a think. They may have been checking if the shot was going on target. If it wasn’t it may not be a red?

 

3-0. Second and third goals were lovely. Feel bad for Brugge. What the fuck was that defender thinking?

 

Yeah that's the only thing I could put it down to, since then it wouldn't have been a goal scoring opportunity. Not sure why it took 5 minutes though. No wonder the whole crowd was chanting "Fuck VAR" during the review.

 

Have Arsenal ever been able to defend corners?

 

Leaving the tallest player on the pitch completely unmarked at a corner, peak Arsenal

 

Love to see Chong get an assist.

 

oof Arsenal

 

Arsenalol

Martinelli needed to be on about an hour earlier.

 

I almost feel bad for Aubameyang. Almost.

 

Nah

 

That was an exciting game to watch as someone with no stakes

 

Kane already starting on-field rehab. That dude is a machine.

And they’re also exploring the possibility of Son playing with a cast on his arm. Jose thinks they could both be back sometime in April.

 

Rushing him back and ruining him for the Euros sounds fantastic.

 

Rushing him back to beat Arsenal also sounds fantastic

 

I’d prefer if they weren’t rushed but I know Kane wants back ASAP. Hopefully they come back without issues and don’t risk reinjury

 

I was gonna shit post about the NLD but honestly what's the point, we're both shit.

 

lol yeah, true

 

I want him back for the potential FA Cup run. Getting a trophy would take the sting off not finishing top 4 (although I think it's still possible considering how bad everyone else is).
