As a draw goes, that's a win. Impressive effort and we put two on them.

Not a very satifying result. Arsenal are the best in the Premier League despite injuries and crap refs and will prove it by season end.

What the F does this even mean? We deserved 3 points and got Fed by the ref.

Dont see any way we are competing for anything higher than 3rd this season. Gap is already widening and the league/PGMOL seems dead set and making sure we can't compete.

Deserve? I thought we were talking about sports? Kiwior climbed on top of the pool player and it's a foul.

It was a poorly reffed game but Liverpool made us pay for getting too stretched out late.

I disagree. If we can get healthy, we're the best team in the league. This time shall pass.

Um, no. Liverpool player made no move on the ball. Kiwior got to it. BS foul.

Being the best doesnt beat the refs.....

Draw to Brighton due to BS red to Rice
Draw to City due to BS red to Trossard
Loss to Bournemouth due to BS red to Saliba
Draw today is arguably legit but had numerous BS calls including a refusal to call fouls/cards against pool that are often called on us.

You eliminate those 3 reds and we are likely in 1st. Each of those reds was given by a ref that is either in MC's pocket or have refused to make similar decisions in other matches.

Kiwior was the one actually fouled. Pool player undercut him.

We can't get healthy. We're losing players faster than we can get them back. You gotta have some luck to win the league and between injuries and refs, its very clear this year is gonna be a slog. We've already dropped 9 points and we aren't even out of October yet

Then play the advantage? Middle school reffing 101.

He called the foul on Kiwior
Ghost of Andrew Eaton

It appeared to me that the Pool player had established position and Kiwior came over the top of him. I could be wrong.

Yeah we're looking at 2-4 weeks minimum. I guess you play either White-Saliba or Saliba-Kiwior until we get somebody else back

My guess is Saliba - Kiwior so we can move Partey back to MF

No word on Cala yet. Until we hear he is back in training we have to assume he is out. I don't see Kiwior at LB so you are basically looking at......

Timber - Kiwior - Saliba - White

Or

MLS - Saliba - White - Timber

Which are you more comfortable with for the next month or so?
If Kiwior sees the bench during this stretch, I give it about a 80-90% chance he is sold in the summer.

Yes, that's what I thought. Was responding to Eaton. Mistakenly thought he was right. Dummy for believing his takes.
Ghost of Andrew Eaton

Please explain. I said the foul was called on Kiwior and it was called on him.

Apologies if I kicked your cat.

How much is it to get in there for EPL?

You want to watch a game in the dome from the 2nd level for sure. That's by far the best view.

We got a reserved booth for 6 that is the best view in the house for $100 per person. Not cheap at all! I think you can get in the building for as little as $11 for first come first served seating on the 1st level.

The experience was top notch and is probably a game changer for some live events. I can see the technology improving in the future to make it truly stunning. They had a little bit of connectivity issues like 5 or 6 times for 1 or 2 seconds at most but that was annoying.

Man the roar of the Arsenal goals was super cool - you really felt like you were in the stadium at times.

It's the first time I've ever gotten a sense of late afternoon turning into evening in London for an 11:30a Texas start time.

I booked this game the first week of September when Cosm had barely opened up so everything was still brand new. I think the cheapest reserved seat is $33.

What about the quality and price of food and drinks?

Ha I didn't even look at the menu - our group was ordering but I'm guessing it was pricey just considering what the place looked like and the location. ** Looked up my 50% of the bill and it was $137 so that's not TOO terrible for 3 hours of drinking booze and eating for 6 people.

I did eat some of the fajita beef nachos and they were EXCELLENT.

The place is really over-staffed - for reserve seating at least - and the speed on drink service was crazy fast.

It had a little bit of a Vegas club vibe to it and the building was way bigger than I was expecting and yet the actual seating area for the dome part wasn't nearly as big as I thought it would be.

He was maybe in position but made no attempt to play the ball. More often than not this is a foul on the player not attempting to play the ball.

Fair enough. I obviously didn't think it was an egregious call but I understand the frustration.

And man, how about the game Partey played? I was really worried about him at RB and he did great. Obviously it isolated Saka more and caused us to have to drop Kai deeper but still.

Partey is really finding his groove again. It's been a really pleasant surprise. Obviously hope he stays healthy and keeps that up.

It wasn't as much the call, as it was Taylor clearly waited until it looked like we were through on goal to blow the whistle.

Honestly Xhaka probably should have been higher. He was exceptional for Bayern last year.


Some rumors that Odegaard may return to training on the pitch this week, possibly some light stuff with the team which would be great. He's obviously still a few weeks away at least, but it'd be a boost

According to Arteta, it sounds like Gabriel and Timber are good to go. Scans came back clean on Gabby and Timber was fatigued, which is what a lot of people thought. Ricardo isn't coming back for a few weeks and he thinks MO might be back before the international break.
