I enjoyed the warm up before the more than the game itself. Hope Arsenal don’t have a blip.

Just heard the sad news about Gianluca Vialli. It was only last month I heard he was going back for treatment, but I think he sounded pretty positive. Only 58 years old. He is a player that brings me back to the days I watched Football Italia on Channel 4 every Sunday religiously (my early years of getting into football), and he was one of the top players in one of the best leagues at the time. And then, of course, from his time at Chelsea.

This for me as well, Football Italia was immense on the Sunday.
Rest in Peace Gianluca.

Really sad news
Remember seeing him early 90’s when he went to Juve to play alongside Baggio and they were superb , then mid 90’s when they beat that great Ajax team with a front 3 of Him , Del Peiro and Ravenelli
Think he is one of those players that won all three of the European trophies and then won a few with Chelsea as their manager

Vialli had to be one of the most humble, down to earth, quietly spoken superstars we have ever been lucky enough to see play the game in this country. An absolute gentleman. We read news like this and, quite often, it washes over us. As a cancer sufferer myself and football lover, I am genuinely saddened by the news of his passing.

I believe a player can get a red card for endangering the safety of another player.
I'm guessing the guy on VAR felt the challenge didn't pass that threshold? Or, do they use the same camera as we saw? I notice the camera doesn't really provide a good view of the lower legs of both players when challenge made, so they couldn't do their slow motions and freeze frames on that video. However, the injury is pretty visible afterwards, and you'd think the officials could use a bit of common sense?
That joke is so last year ?

Roy Keane will enjoy analysing DeGea at half time.

So he’s been un-dropped, then? ?

Another deserved victory from a mediocre performance.
Charlton are next, but after that we absolutely have to up our game.
Now, where's that cuppa?
