MOTD

[Rigadon]

That was embarrassingly one sided analysis.

[Chris Harte]

We're under the radar. Long let it continue.

[Flamingo Lane]

Ian Wright is being a very sulky child on MOTD tonight.

[Matt C]

Arsenal being petulant, sulky, entitled twats? Surely not.

[Somniloquism]

I think it was Lineker moaning about VAR when neither the penalty or the handball in the match actually being given by VAR that showed the bias.

[PaulWinch again]

I love that controlling the ball with your hand, deliberate or not, should be allowed if you’re scoring a goal.

[dave shelley]

I like Wrighty, I believe he loves football in general but Arsenal in particular.  I wouldn't have expected him to think anything else.  The referee disagreed, so be it.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Tbf the BBC are always balanced - they've got Arsenal legend Ian Wright and Villa legend Jermaine Jenas to analyse it.

Ian Wright showing his true colours for sure . Twat

[Somniloquism]

I kind of guessed they would look at the Palace pen and thought it compared to ours. Of course a player diving in with force against one standing there is very much the same.

He’s not a “twat” though is he? He and Lineakar are both wrong in terms of we should want more goals. But difference of opinion doesn’t mean they’re worthy of insult.

I don’t think it was have a go at us day.  More about the rules.  On this occasion.  I don’t really care though I prefer us under the radar.

He had the same handball complaint against Bournemouth's one. But I wouldn't doubt he would think it was a pen. I mentioned myself that we had seen them given and not seen them given. I think Lineker had it right that if the ref had given it, VAR would have agreed. In this case he didn't, probably because he said he had seen it and didn't think it was anything much with the striker losing control, and VAR couldn't find that clear and obviously wrong.

I do wonder how many goals have been given by VAR and how many have been disallowed. Any stats out there with just those figures? I would guess offsides would mean more disallowed but not by much.

Yup I think it’s a complaint about the rules, rather than the decision itself. I think they’re wrong on that anyway, but it’s not really a dispute on this decision.
