Ref made a rod for his own back, and like most referees too self important to correct himself.

Saka kicked Joelinton there! Shocking yellow tbh.

He's getting great support from mainly Joelinton also.

It definitely wasn't easy, that ball was moving, if that was a set play his timing was off.

We've responded well to a strong Arsenal start, overall a good result for the first half, would have been amazing if we could have scored from that corner at the end.

I can't see him sending an Arsenal player off with a second yellow at home, more likely to find an excuse for one of ours.

He's showing the yellows to try to control things, but it's clearly not working, if he escalates it won't bode well for us.

Some Tindall shithousery

This is going to be a huge test.

Ahh, the famous photo that Ant and Dec tried to get removed from the internet...

Bem-vindo irmão 👍

Hopefully he can be sold, it'd be better for everyone if he was playing (and we weren't paying him to do so). He would have taken a significant pay increase when joining us so we may still need to shoukder some of that burden. None of this means I think he hasn't done a job for us since signing, just that the evolution of our team now makes a player like him redundant. He'll slot right in elsewhere and do a job.

Arsenal alread ahead inside 2 min.

Reffing was worse than poor. Didn't even think or consult linesmen or VAR when Schar was brought down in the box, contact was not shoulder to shoulder. Throughout let them foul persistently by not punishing them for it with any first half yellow cards. All that said we still should have had enough to win comfortably. Meslier made a couple of excellent saves for them, but was nowhere near on several chances that we blasted high and or wide.

Agree the effort and desire was there but not the quality of finishing, or control of our temperament at the end. A big part of the latter can be apportioned to the ref who allowed Leeds to persistently foul from early on.

Mr Blobby too tired to let us have the properly allocated added time.

Plenty of lessons in this for us. First of all is Wood's time here is done.

Maybe I'm used to the ridiculous world cup added time, but four minutes in a game with this many fouls and cards does not seem long enough....

On the balance of play you could say that, but on the strength of our finishing we definitely don't.

Meslier should have been tested at least four more times than he has thus far.

Agree, just seems like one of those games.

So many corners and free-kicks, that was probably the worst of them.

Not offside at all, blind linesman.
