Don't remember it right now, do you mean Tottenham? Think that one illustrates the difference - his face and body was fully turned away from the player, focused on the ball and was as much to do with the other player bending forwards and lowering his head to arm height as they both ran and tussled. And yet Tottenham were still very very upset over the situation.

If it was Bruno you'd have people crawling on their bellies on here to bemoan how yet again he's gotten away with a red for needlessly violent conduct. I agree with @healthyaddiction. He unnaturally looks back at Murphy before he raises his arm to clip him. If Murphy drops Brereton style, he's off.

If it was virtually any other player in the league, we'd be screaming for a red. I suspect it was some sort of non malicious inside thing, because it would be too weird otherwise, but he did get lucky.

6 points and a loss at Brighton, then.

Get the impression his Dad wouldn't have it.

Looks like he's missing Mehrdad to play with.

Oh aye, that's what made what they'd done to them all so offensive.

Fuck that soundtrack to death.

I wonder what the chances are that clubs undergoing sponsorship checks for us suddenly find themselves being privately questioned by 'independent actors' over whether they really want to be seen to be supporting an oil club with such controversial owners, and do they really want that kind of media coverage for their brand...

Is that video actually real? It feels like a fake or a piss take.

I assume this was a typo, but I love it all the same

Fucking insulted you thought it was the pound shop TBGs that hacked me.

Is there a link to his full comments? Saw a brief clip on here earlier but it didn't seem like much of anything, and I don't remember anything significant from when I saw it live. Obviously, he's wanting to get his career back on track because it's been badly derailed, and I think there's a good chance he does leave his summer partly for contractual reasons, but he didn't seem arsey or anything.

Personally, I'm just gutted Amanda put us in the shit with PSR when we signed this guy. I'm troubled that our scouting methodology even put him on the table as an option to buy.

Yep. Classic game. No real problem with anything they did, only with the referee for abdicating responsibility. Feel like there would have been yellows and reds everywhere if we'd returned the favours - they might have been a bit less brave if they knew retaliation was coming.

Pretty much a no brainer.

Subject to fitness, agreed.

Thought he was great. Deserved more protection from the referee. All things considered I thought he handled himself well under fire. Such a shame Murphy didn't put him in for the fourth!

It's a good question. That's why I'm not quite at the point of saying "he should start the next game". But IF he is in that kind of form, it's the kind of thing that makes you wonder if adjustments should be made to accommodate him.

Think it shows how much it means to him, duty to the club, your rank in the squad etc. Wanted to show respect.

Pre match thread makes for a bit of a laugh after the lineups were released. Eddie Howe must haunt the dreams of Arteta. Was like watching a snake slowly squeeze the life out of them.

Agree specifically on the armband. Feels like things are right in the world again when they're semi sharing duties.

It might do us some good to have to play without him, to be honest.

Never thought I might be on the Dubravka bandwagon.

So good to see him like that again. Delighted for him.
