    I think that there is a fundamental difference - a spectator is not governed by Article 127 that the clubs have signed up to. If you or I filmed them, there could be no complaint if it is open to the public.

    A football club cannot plead that. They are in breach of their own rules and regulations and must, therefore, face sanctions.

    It's all bollox, we've had nearly a full season (36 PL games) in which to watch and learn how to counteract, the admittedly very effective, Arsenal corner routines. Made no difference, they scored from one after just 37 minutes.

    The answer is simple but very hard to put into practice mon ami. Think of two big, physically strong lads who can jump high and head a ball while using their arms like helicopter blades.

    Think Mee, Tarkowski, Collins, Brian Miller, Tommy Cummings mon ami, sadly we don't have that skill set, plus we had a two game rookie in the nets and the Arsenal lads pull out all the tricks which referees have shown a blind eye to all season long.

    It is a sad state of affairs when a Diving and whinging club that is ARSEnal can win the premier league with the assistance of the incompetent referee's and their video collegues. While the unfashionable clubs such as Burnley are unfairly punished for even a minor transgression.

    We are by far to excepting of the poor standard of refereeing, Pace should be raising his / our frustration to the appropiate authorities when we see incompetance that was on display on Monday night.

    They should have been asking JJ how to counteract Arsenal, their corner routines are not so much about heading the ball as blocking the opposition. Watching Arsenal at a corner is like watching something out of an American Football playbook. All their players know exactly what they're doing, who they're taking out or which space they're protecting. Anyway, not something that will bother us next season.

    Please let?s not go back to this again - we were zonal
    Marking and it was free header - he wasn?t marked and came on his own watching the delivery all the way onto his head - it was laughable I?m afraid not even contested by us.

    If the zone you are referring to army88 is that little triangle that goes from the six yard box to the penalty spot is left unmarked then we are worse than I thought.

    Fair do's though, the Gunners do take extremely accurate dead ball kicks.

    Watch it Bt and slow it down if you can watch where havertz comes from - we are all stood in a line not really marking bodies just space - that?s the price you can pay for zonal - and as you reference a good delivery - they are a good side who have mastered the dark arts and well the premiership is corrupt anyway so who knows where that ends.

    You kind of have to admire though don?t you how they wrung every last drop out of set pieces.
