    No foul anywhere, what's Sanchez complaining about

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      His poor goalkeeping

    Chelsea are a top team. They'd be even better if they had a top goalkeeper.

    1. SINGH

      No they are not. Even with 10 gialkeepers they still won't break into the top 4. They are the next west ham

        A top 5 is enough to qualify for cl

  9. Free Hat

    Finally a Timber goal. I can die happy now

    Of course rival gets Timber for Haaland.

  11. DARE TO BISCAN

    Sanchez full clown mode. Then begs for a foul 😀

    The moment I sell Timber for O'Reilly...

  13. AC/DC AFC

    Might be back green

  14. Four Letter Wirtz

    Every Arsenal corner is a careful choeeography of fouls. And I say that as a Ric + Timber owner.

  15. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    All corners. Every game. Such a boring watch.

    1. nanxun

      Fair point.

  16. Fifa las vegas

    Nice by Rice

  18. nanxun

    ARS backline can't keep a cleanie, but they're providing all the offense ... of course, off set pieces.

  19. g40steve

    Neto RED

  20. F4L
    • 11 Years

    Low IQ referee does it again

  25. SINGH
    • 7 Years
    1 month, 11 days ago

    Na this referee has been bribed by arsenal. Red card and yellow cards for Chelsea but no penalties

    1. They are eating the dogs
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      Referee literally doesn't understand advantage and he ruined two Arsenal chances to score with yellow cards

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      But the whistle for Palmer yellow stopped Timber going through on goal

  26. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years

    Substitutes...strength in depth thank god

    1. nanxun
      • 4 Years
      1 month, 11 days ago

      Amen.

  27. Lallana_

    So Saliba is full on grabbing Andrey Santos (so he can't move) thus blocking Sanchez.

    Sanchez needs to do better but what is this football? Worst title win?

    If I'm an Arsenal fan I'm thinking a win's a win but from an outsider this is a bad watch.

    1. Woy_is_back

      Arsenal play snoozzzzzeeeeee football. Worse than fkin Stoke City for real

      1. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        1 month, 11 days ago

        big woy knows

    These Chelsea men haven’t been aged one bit

    Neto's a silly silly boy
