Lyon on-side Vs Arsenal. And West Ham offside today. This is how close it was.

How far up the arm to draw a line is effectively an arbitrary official based decision. The officials called offside. Then were overruled. Still furious that Stina was through one on one then was pulled back. Arsenal v Lyon was a super close match up, a coin toss. IMO the referee decided it. Gutted.

UEFA fucking hates us so much.

This ref has been absolutely atrocious. I've had Sunday league refs that are better.

The hate for Arsenal is so fucking ingrained into them 🤮

Is there another country in the world where the national broadcaster picks a commentary team DESPERATE for their nation’s representative to lose a continental semifinal? Fuck the BBC

HTF has Heaps not been booked!?!

Bashing is fine for OL on Arse. Breathing in opposite direction is a foul.

We are being FUCKED over yet again in Europe

My god, Smith wrestled to the floor no foul but you breathe on a Lyon player and the whistle goes.

Heaps won’t stop cheating

Fuk off Torygraph Batte you clueless muppet… can see why I mostly go to these games rather than be inflicted with this ghastly coverage.

Can’t log in to accept ticket for boys game. Watching girls on TV can’t buy a frikkin FK from this pishtake ref. Gonna have a nervous breakdown before boys teams are even announced.

BBC commentary getting on my nerves…

Heaps deliberate handball then a dive. No yellow.

Ref is 100% homer

Getting VAR shafted, Stina through on goal pulled back for no reason. Impossible to see penalty given. Now a second chance (DvD was a few inches off her line).

Scandalous call on Stina… shocking

Wake the f*<k up Arsenal… (would have been offside phew)

About to take the dog for her third walk past the Arsenal box office. Nobody there so far. Invited to a barbecue but instead looks like I will be doing this all morning.

Arsenal app not allowing transfers. Can’t do transfers via website/browser. Arsenal boxoffice closed. At least it’s not a big hame or anything…

I would also like to see the indirect FK for when a forward taps the ball out right before the defender makes contact. They have no intention of playing the ball but are exclusively playing for the pen.

Fulham was always the trap game. Feel like Arteta recognised that.

First half super happy JD. Atleti’s refusal to vacate the area and let Arsenal take our penalty was a turning point - the team, manager, bench and crowd realised they could get on top of a weak referee. www.instagram.com/reel/DXunWuy...

No?! Say it ain’t so. A famous racist scumbag is ALSO a far-right sympathiser?

She’s one of our own

Penalty as punishment for ball hitting hand in the box is absolutely crazy. Extreme, disproportionate nonsense. Change the rule to indirect FK for non goal saving handballs.

Bit pished. Watched PSG V Bayern highlights loads, then watched (for first time) extended highlights of Bayern v Barça #WomensChamoionsLeague semi. In love with the Bayern goal. Barcelona will destroy them second leg. Great football match. Defy any “football purist” to watch that and complain.

Thanks Sky Sports for changing the match to a Monday night after i booked flights and a hotel for the whole weekend, only costing me an extra £200 now 👍 Twats.

Make no mistake. Arsenal’s last game on a Monday night is a joke. In no world should the final home game of the season be on a Monday night. Especially when Burnley fans have a long journey down and won’t be getting in till the early hours of the morning

Is this disastrous end of season Monday catastrophe actually confirmed? During a GCSE week as well, such a pisstake.

Furious our final home game of the season is on a Monday fricking night. Disgusting.

Wenger & Arsenal suffered hugely for believing financial rules would be enforced. Their entire strategy was building & mortgaging a new stadium to help them compete sustainably long term. Then had to watch for over two decades as Chelsea & City pissed on those rules and cost them multiple trophies

Wenger got mocked and memed for years on end while other clubs, particularly Chelsea, had to break the law repeatedly to beat his Arsenal side. It is shameful but of course capitalism has no shame.

Chelsea and Man City in the FA Cup final. No other English clubs have systematically ignored, bent or broken the rules like both have done. In terms of trophies won, no other English clubs have been as successful over the past decade and a half either. The moral of the story - is that there is none.

No Chloe Kelly, no Beth Mead, no Catley (and obvs no Katie Read). Good first XI but weakened bench.

📖 NEW: It's officially been a month without my voice. Turns out it's actually quite an important thing. Here's something on blind hope, football being stupid and why I now feel even more bullish about Arsenal winning the league. highburyhangover.substack.com/p/i-promise-...

Massive weekend for the whole club. Two big wins would completely change our picture.

if anyone offered me a CL Semi against a team weve already beaten 4-0 this year and the league in our own hands with 5 games to go back in august i would have took their hand off mate

Every single team in England would swap places with Arsenal today. However much you think we have failed or messed up in the last few weeks, over the whole season - everyone else has messed up more.

Here's the thing with Chelsea and Manchester City: their owners gave them £1.5bn of unearned cash for the managers to buy whoever they wanted. But that wasn't enough. Both of them had to cheat as well. It makes you wonder what else they've been up to that hasn't been uncovered.

Do we approach our games v Newcastle and Fulham like a cricket first innings - build some scoreboard pressure with goal difference? Or do we err in the direction of basics - it’s a difficult league, both us an Citeh have dropped points. Just win your games.

Anyone know if the stadium open early, before we play Fulham, so people can watch the girls CL semi-final in Lyon?

Only three more Chelsea managers until Christmas. 🎄

Not worth watching is it? (Jaidon Anthony is apparently a massive Gooner, Stokey boy)

KinHell just today seen multiple different people listing or counting every single trophy Arsenal have not won in different periods (this season, four years AND six years) as a number of trophies Arteta has “bottled”…

Sounds like Gabi was lucky his reaction to Haaland wasn’t a red. Khusanov foul on Havertz was tight in front os us, bizarre one. He could have run Kai down, taken the ball. Was almost lazy the way he just ran into him. Ref basically doesn’t give the foul because he’d have to send him off.
