Sod off Pep, you are a disgrace, you scored a goal in Ramadan time, what more do you want?

Pep & his bunch of cheats received all the abuse they deserved.

Respect.
Perhaps cut out the disgusting spitting habit.
That’s disrespectful.

My thoughts too. Or wait till half time and guzzle etc. It is hardly like the muslim players will drop dead if they have to wait a few more minutes. The muslim players who played at 3pm would have had to play the whole match without a break (as the break happens at dusk).

How come is this not a foul with a hand in Bogle's face?

Cant abide anything political or religious in sport.
Religion causes death & destruction worldwide.
And anyway why shouldn’t anyone have time out in a game for their beliefs. Its a very diverse subject.
If my belief involves stroking a hamster once a month at an allotted day/time then why shouldn’t I.

Rodon clearly pulled down by Dias in their box

Did VAR check this incident?

Totally agree, Jay.

I could easily fall out with the game I love.

Oh, how football has changed, sadly for the worse!

Because they are game-spoilers.

Come on Arsenal.
I totally hear watch your saying, however Pep and Arteta are two peas from the same pod.
Both disgusting examples of human beings, both would do absolutely anything to enable them to win a game of football, they make my blood boil every time I see them on TV or like last night in the flesh.
I wonder if anyone on this forum would rather have either of those two as our manager over Farke?
If so, give your bloody head a shake :rant:

Monday's poll, John.

I'm absolutely certain some would.

All will be revealed tomorrow.

Or as the break was only 12 minutes in, why not have a 5:45 ko instead of 5:30
Everyone is happy then.
I think they were booing the stoppage rather than Ramadan.

Makes total sense!

There are far too many stoppages in games nowadays that never existed in football history.

Head injuries - I understand that one.
Memorial tributes for fans/players during a game.
VAR
So many substitutions.
Set pieces seem to take an age, mainly due to all the pulling/pushing in the box.
Now we have religious beliefs interferring with the game.

You missed technology failure breaks ...


You almost feel that City asked for it so Pep could see how we set up and then make changes during the break. No good reason to have that break at all

Agree, would have made more sense. 5.45 sensible time.
Booing Pep's 'team talk' I reckon.

This game was very unusual.
I have seen zero criticism of Farke and very little for any player. Is this a record??
