Arsenal v Burnley Match Preview

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Some stats we missed

Jay Rodriguez made his 150th league appearance for Burnley and his 400th appearance in English club football.

Matej Vydra’s appearance was his 250th in English League football.

Congratulations both well done

Wood should have scored too.

Does it really matter whether the ball is dead or not ? The referee is responsible for everything on the pitch. You can even be shown a red card whilst walking down the tunnel after the game has finished , if you are that stupid to misbehave. The referee took the easy way out. Just as well he did , due to what happened from the corner kick straight afterwards.

It matters in the context that you can't give a penalty, which is what I said. The referee bottled the second red.
Having said that, in the recent past, both of those incidents would have been dealt with by the referee issuing yellows and telling the players to act their age and use common sense if they didn't want further problems.
The modern game dictates that these players are more severely punished, however, there is no consistency because Martial was sent off a couple of weeks ago for a nothing incident.

Not just me Outwood, I didn't see many on here predicting a 1-0 win.

I have to say I was shocked myself sinkov but I did feel if we were going to lay the Arsenal hoodoo this was going to be the time. Arsenal like Chelsea in that opening day 3-2 shock should have had two men sent off. It is three very welcome points at the start of a difficult run of games and very much needed as Fulham appear to be getting to grips with life in the Premier League.

Yes Fulham without Mitrovic had Liverpool on the ropes, he’s another who scores against us! They have Brighton on Weds so someone near us in the table is going to get some points.

Next game coming up Thursday v Villa will be crucial.

I am not going to predict anything from this one other than Grealish will hit the deck more often than a drunken sailor in a typhoon.

In fairness to the lad outwood, he does get targeted a lot for the odd cynical foul. I wish he would tell JBG and Brady how he manages to keep injury free after all the hits he takes.

He is the most fouled player in the EPL by a country mile.

I blame his hairdo!
