TBF the first yellow was kind of harsh.
Nah Bolasie went past him and was advancing towards Arsenal's box, cynically brought him down its a yellow every day of the week.
 
They made a good point during the Villa game, something that is worthy of a foul anywhere else on the pitch should be given as a foul in the box too, it doesn't matter whether it's deemed "enough of a foul for a penalty".
Yep, that and 'too early for a yellow' like @RedStarUnited mentioned. It's bullshit.
 
Watching this on NBCSN. American punditry is horrible.

To me Bloasie looked like he was quite happy to get the foul, it was like he was looking to be clipped.

Really enjoyed this match.
Not much contact but it was cynical
Yeah, for me as a neutral (only hoping for Özil because of my fantasy team) the pace and intensity of the game were great to watch.
 
Arsenals passing is so much faster and sharper than ours
Yeah but right now I'd much rather be in your position. This is supposed to be a fully gelled team yet we're playing average whereas you've got new players but you're playing well and grinding out the results. I can't believe I was actually confident before this season. It's going to be just like every other season we've had in the last 5 years.
 
Those replays sum up what a horror show of a ref Mason is.

No doubt Coquelin will be subbed off at HT or some after.
 
Palace are a little bit too exposed. Expect Jedinak to come on eventually. Arsenal should really be up considering the chances they've created. Coq should be off too.
 
Really? I was going to say the opposite. They've had to defend against an Arsenal side which are out to prove a point and have caused a lot of problems going forward. They'll be fine this season.
I was just referring to their start in the match
 
Mason really is the homer simpson of referees.

Coquelin would have got a yellow if he wasnt already on one. Ref bottled it.

Homer Simpson was a very good ref in season 25. Check out Homer Simpson - no penalty on YouTube if you don't believe me
 
Bolasie didn't start last week and gets subbed at half time here. Could be on his way soon?
 
Should've brought Jedinak on and pushed Cabaye further forward.
 
every other season we've had in the last 5 years.
You sure it's only 5 years? According to Mou, it's closer to 15 ;)

On a serious note. You guys looked to have been very well prepared for this season. So it's surprising to see you're struggling. But you should be ahead this match, so if you get the 3 points, it's not the worst starts in the league.

You're playing well, but both teams looking fairly dangerous on the counter.
