    I don’t think I’ve ever seen Gabriel not push someone when he’s going up for header. Seems rich for him to win a foul for that of all people!

    Martinelli dirty hothead.
    Jesus hothead cheat

        Not sure they are.
        Takes a special kind of person to man handle someone injured the way Martinelli did to Connor Bradley.

  5. Twisted Saltergater

        Had he stayed on the pitch, he might have gotten more minus though.

  15. Moon Dog
      3 months, 8 days ago

    • Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 8 days ago

      A bit of fisty cuffs in this game would be fun…

    • thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 8 days ago

      That’s the softest free kick I’ve seen given ‘on’ Trossard since, erm… the Gabriel one

    • Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 months, 8 days ago

      Never thought I’d say this but I hope city will win the title. Arsenal = disgrace to this beautiful game.

    • Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Vicario having a good game…

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 months, 8 days ago

        Saka should score

    • Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 months, 8 days ago

      Rice defcon watch = 7

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 months, 8 days ago

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        3 months, 8 days ago

        *yeah i think that was a vdv tackle, not saka shot

    • Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 months, 8 days ago

      Timber to VVD a no brainer right?

      1. Moon Dog
          3 months, 8 days ago

          Looking that way...

      2. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        3 months, 8 days ago

        Eze going to get another hatrick

      3. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 months, 8 days ago

        Why do Sky employ a commentator who doesn’t know what to say when there’s a goal?

        Just get Eze for Spurs games then sell him.

      5. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 months, 8 days ago

        I wish I had a tenner for every time Ignasi M made a fool of himself 😆

        1. The Philosopher
          • 5 Years
          3 months, 8 days ago

          Starting to sound like a spurs fan disguised in an Arsenal shirt.

      6. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 months, 8 days ago

        The move was to bring in Eze for Spurs and then sell him again.

      7. Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        3 months, 8 days ago

        1-3 eze, saka assist

        1. Dickie1898
          • 11 Years
          3 months, 8 days ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          Shouldn’t be as it was a Spurs defender who played the ball to him, via another Spurs defender.

      8. WVA

        Spurs are so bad, Arsenal not even playing well, Spurs are just gifting them this, deserve to get relegated!

              • 7 Years
              3 months, 8 days ago

              It's a hard fought local derby and a good watch

              1. WVA
                • 9 Years
                3 months, 8 days ago

                Hard fought and Gabriel diving to the floor shouldn’t be in the same game
