We were all pretty stunned tbh. However, the review took so long it clearly wasnāt āclear and obviousā so they never overturned it.
Was fully expecting it, but it never came!

Random Football Irritation- Arteta , he appears to come across with an arrogance thatās normally associated with a top class manager thatās picked up multiple trophies .
Arteta has won an FA Cup and thatās it
His latest explanations in regards the GK situation- he clearly doesnāt see Ramsdale as his number 1 yet hasnāt got the balls to just admit it , talking about how he was tempted to sub Ramsdale during games because they are no different
The whole situation could really blow up in his face

No - and it may not have been the full reasoning - but my lord was it taking ages.
Never seen a ref at a screen for as long as he was, must have been 2 minutes at least.
I suppose we will find out on the ref show this week - whenever that is!

I agree its silly.
You've got to assume that Ramsdale isn't happy about it either, I cant see him lasting till this time next year at Arsenal if he's not starting the majority of games.
I think Artetaās experience in terms of trophies earned is a red herring. If heās good enough, irrespective of trophies earned, heās good enough. He doesnāt have to touch his forelock to perceived great managers. Heās took an inexperienced squad, some used to say poor, and heās took them up a couple of notches.
However, he comes across a bit volatile for me but, I guess, so is Klopp & Pep in their own way. Do I think heās handled Ramsdale well? I think not, but I only know whatās in the media. Iād love a crystal ball to see what Arteta will achieve. A bit of me thinks heāll do well as he gains more experience at the top end of the Prem and, subsequently, in Europe. But I can also see him having a meltdown. Potential genius bordering on fruitcake for me.

I was pretty unimpressed with Pep at The London Stadium on Saturday, during the 1st half he was getting frustrated, he was ranting and raving, wouldnāt stay in the coaching box, one stage he was even on the pitch remonstrating about something. 4th official hardly did a thing to stop him. This was right in front of where I sit (albeit 20 yards back) he was every bit as animated as Artetaā¦ 2nd half when it was all going to script he sat himself down.

A bit like Rodri then getting away with things others get booked for.I was pretty unimpressed with Pep at The London Stadium on Saturday, during the 1st half he was getting frustrated, he was ranting and raving, wouldnāt stay in the coaching box, one stage he was even on the pitch remonstrating about something. 4th official hardly did a thing to stop him.

They are the master of breaking up the counter attack, literally nipping it in the bud the moment they lose possession.

Cynical fouling .
Rodri just seems to have taken over from Fernandinho.
How does he get away with it so much?
most others who do it usually get booked after two.

Have they changed the guidance to handball???
Last year, they only went to VAR if it hit the hand of the player who actually scored. Now they seem to be asking ref to review handball if it hits any attacking player, even if the pictures aren't exactly clear

No. They make it up as they go along. VAR has ruined football.

Apparently VAR thought it was deliberate. That sounds garbage, at least to think that with any certainty (and still not sure it even hit his hand/arm anyway)
However, if they ruled out goal for a deliberate handball, is that not an automatic yellow card offence?
Handball was a shocking decision in my opinion.
If they think that's deliberate, they've never kicked a ball in their life.

Iād have been livid if it had been the other way around, granted. But weāve been hard done by twice this season for similar levels of calls, so Iām not upset we finally got one go our way.
Scrappy tonight but 4 new signings bedding themselves in on their first game, two of them never playing in the Prem.
Montiel at rightback was awful. Sangare had his moments. CHO looks a bargain for Ā£3m.
Finish the week on top half after playing 3 of the ābig 6ā, canāt ask for much more. Weāll be fine.
In fairness to Forest the goal was top drawer and deserving of a point.
Could be a long season for Burnley, it's always a big step up from the Championship to Premier league.

That is a bonkers amount of money for a young English international, still with a huge amount potential and growth. I didnāt realise he went for that figure and itās completely mental!Still canāt believe Hudson-Odoi cost us Ā£3m
Cracking signing, Iād say!
