    I’m going to invite joelinton to your house and have him put all his weight on your back in a 2 handed shove and see if you can stay on your feet.

    Go for it. I’m about the same size as Gabriel and would have no problem standing up without going down like Gabriel did. The reason Gabriel went down is because he deliberately went down to try and flick the ball away, which is exactly what the refs have said here.

    The rest of your post is Le Tissier level conspiracy nonsense. You get tight calls your way all the time.

    As for Arteta being on ref’s necks. He absolutely obviously is. He never shuts up about them! He got one fired just last year!

      You’d fall like a sack of shit.

      This makes no sense. He’s a top rate defender with 3 years of pl experience. He knows how to flick a ball behind. Without joelinton pushing him he flicks it behind for a corner 10/10 times. The only thing that stopped him was the shove. And he goes for the ball so it’s not a foul? What kind of stupid logic is this?

      You get tight calls your way all the time.

      Some. Overwhelmingly drowned out by the poor calls we get.

      1. he rarely talks about the refs. I can think of maybe 3 or 4 occasions from his entire time at the club.

      2. that ref got himself fired. He didn’t draw an offside line in a game during a title run in. And he didn’t even get fired, that ref now trains other refs. Scandalous.
