To be fair he wasn’t helped by constant cheating from both sets of players,but especially Arsenal.Glad they got the equaliser though. | | | |

Well if you are down to 10 men for over half a game away at the best team in the country and protecting a lead what other option would you recommend? Great effort and unlucky not to hold on at the end. | | | |

Obviously I don't care because it's Arsenal but it really pisses me off when QPR players do dumb shit like that. Fouling people to gain an advantage, well OK, you're gambling the cost is less than the benefit, but there's zero benefit in kicking the ball away or cussing the ref when you're on yellow. Just brain dead. | |

I talk a bit about a no excuses culture. Brian Clough was brilliant at this, respect the referee, he's not in charge of how you play, you are. Arsenal have spent weeks bitching and moaning about the Declan Rice red card against Brighton as if it wasn't his fault when he did very obviously kick the ball away. Today, one of their players has done it again. Instead of slagging referees and putting official statements, put it back on your players as their responsibility. That was fcking moronic today and perhaps if they hadn't spent the last month telling "Dec" it was all a big refereeing conspiracy against him then it wouldn't have happened again today.

I don't expect them to do it in public, it's a brave manager who does that and not one long for his job the way the precious darlings are now. But Arsenal, Forest, Everton and others have taken to putting these official statements out about referees, refereeing appointments, VAR etc. Look, officiating is in a mess in this country. Look at some of the nonsense that's gone on this weekend. Look at Gavin Ward's latest fcktastrophe at Luton yesterday. But when you get into doing that you're giving your players excuses, and modern football players love an excuse. Perhaps if they'd come out after Brighton and said "well, look, "Dec" has got to learn he can't kick the ball away, simple as that" then they wouldn't have lost somebody to exactly the same thing today. Trossard knows exactly what he's doing - minute of stoppage time left, give a free kick away, stick the ball in the stand, job done. Instead, all the histrionics on the touchline again. It's on you. If you're Arsenal and they appoint fcking Daniel Levy to referee your next match you have to deal with that and control what you can control.

Sadly he is the lead announcer on NBC sports in the US now that Arlo White has taken the blood money and ran off to LIV golf coverage . Jon Champion is next in line I believe and he is way better but they are miles below the older guys lik Martin Tyler etc. There is somebody ( I apologize in advance not knowing his name )who is co-comentator on La Liga and his word inteligence is stunning but he screeches worse that Dawson if that is possible Just call the game dont frighten the crap out of me and my dog when a shot is unloaded | | | |

Don’t get me started though about Tim fing Howard. | | | |

Alternative approach would involve still being overwhelmingly negative with 10 men but occasionally counterattacking into the opponent's half. Nick a goal after HT and you win. Arteta Rorke's Drift approach shows the Ars are still not ready for prime time. Also Citeh poor and got out of jail because tired defenders went to sleep at a short corner. Also,, Drury is a git. | |

And how he talked over Gary Neville after the Haaland goal to spew his latest poetic verse out as if he's just watched Michelangelo finish off the Sistene Chapel. 'Muscle and Might, Power and Poise" Oh shut up mate he's just kicked a ball in a goal FFS. | | | |

You are mixing up Champion and Dawson there charmer I think. Dawson screams out the players name as soon as he even thinks of striking the ball and its really frustrating.He is the lead voice on NBC or USA or Peacock with La Saux and Dixon . Champion is on a lot also but he is much calmer and pretty witty to be fair I like him. Tim Howard has the most amazing brilliant white teeth I have ever seen they are beyong stunning and completly shames me and the 2 Robbies and Rebecca Lowe they are a joy to behold | | | |
