Premier League Archives: 10/2019

With both VAR decisions going against Arsenal this weekend, it seems as if the new tech has it in for the Gunners, but are the refs really screwing Arsenal or are we just imagining it?

Former Premier League Mark Clattenburg has said that both VAR decisions at the Emirates were wrong.

Arsenal threw away another two-goal lead on Sunday to draw with Crystal Palace, in a game filled with controversy.

Martin Atkinson went into Arsenal’s game against Crystal Palace with a key decision accuracy rate of 40% for the season and ended up reducing that to 36% by the end of the match.

There was mostly just one main talking point that dominated all others on Sunday and that was Granit Xhaka being booed by the Arsenal fans as he slow marched off the pitch and his subsequent reaction.

There is no other word for it but ‘sh*t show’ when it comes to describing Arsenal against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal managed to get a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace and as that’s better than the 3-2 defeat last season, Unai Emery is no doubt delighted.

Arsenal welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates today and the teams are in.

This week on the Daily Cannon podcast, we had a special bonus episode after the Vitoria game in which we previewed this week’s match against Palace and James, like the rest of us, is nervous.

Arsenal are still firmly on top of the yellow card table picking up more cards than any other side while needing to fewest fouls to get booked.

Martin Atkinson will take charge of his fourth Arsenal game of the season this weekend when he turns up at the Emirates on Sunday for the match against Crystal Palace.

#EmeryOut quickly began trending on Twitter after Arsenal slumped to a dismal 1-0 defeat at Bramall Lane on Monday night.

Arsenal put in a limp performance against Sheffield United on Monday as they suffered a 1-0 defeat away from home.

Mike Dean didn’t even bother to check with VAR to see if Sokratis had been fouled to earn Arsenal a penalty so it’s no surprise he got such a bad match-rating.

Unai Emery, to nobody’s surprise whatsoever, believes Arsenal didn’t deserve to lose against Sheffield United despite the fact this result has been coming all season.

Arsenal lost 1-0 at Sheffield United in yet another limp performance that simply must have the Arsenal board questioning Unai Emery’s future.

As kick-off approaches, the confirmed team news is in from both sides.

Sheffield United’s striker, Oli McBurnie, has reportedly been charged with drink driving after being arrested in the early hours of Friday morning.

Unai Emaery is expecting a tough trip on Monday night as he gets ready to set his team up like they are 15th in the league and not their opponents.

Pep Guardiola is whinging again and, while I agree with what he’s saying, I can’t help but be reminded of how the press treated Arsene Wenger when he complained about similar things.
