Harsh on the Onana booking? Not sure about that it was a pretty ropey challenge on a player running away from him.

He put a leg in front of him, didn't quite reach the ball and the player tripped over his foot, there was nothing reckless about it. It's exactly the sort of foul that often gets given as a yellow card but shouldn't be because you see 5-6 of them every game.

Mangala alone made 3 tackles that were similar and never got booked.

Agree, it was stop the break foul….rarely get away with those even with the really crap refs

His performance against Bournemouth made me wonder if we were playing a different sport for the day.

I don't know about that, having watched him today I think he's just crap.

It appears every referee has their own set of rules. The ref at the Newcastle game let a lot go and then the next ref will book everything that moves. Players and fans alike don’t have a clue what to expect.

Piss poor from all three today. Fooled by most of the Arsenal histrionics and although we got one or two decisions, I didnt feel we got much.

That performance today, by the ref and his lino on our side in the second half was as bad as I’ve seen. It wasn’t even thinly veiled incompetence, some may even say it was blind predujice. Quite unbelievable.

The booking of Emery was ludicrous. He wasn’t kicking the ball away, he was just kicking it.

The look on his face would have been called a 'jumped up Hitler' back in the day.

He was almost smiling as he did it. Didn't have the control he wanted so just tried to bully his way through.

Surprised that Emery has been booked thrice. He's usually as good as gold.
