I'd wager this won't be a repeat of the FA Cup Final - we'll get torn a new one just like in the friendly the other day!
I bet you said something similar before the FA cup.

Yeah but I think Wenger will stick quite a few kids in and Alexis won't start.
I'm going, what about you Johnny?

Certainly won't be playing tomorrow.
Yep, football's been gone for far too long so have to go really
Plus it's half the price of the FA Cup final, the best seats available to STH were only £40.
Technically he's still a Chelsea player but it's highly unlikely he'll ever play for us again, unfortunately.

I looked at the team sheet and thought Chelsea looks much stronger on paper. However Arsenal are all over them at the moment. Too much pace going forward.
And we are dangerous on the counter. (Arsenal

Think the colour is to avoid bots finding the image and requesting takedown. Either way, yeah, defender catches his heel, just slightly but enough to send his foot sideways into catching his own leg.
Either way I wouldn't have booked him for a dive, had I not seen the heel contact I would have said it was accidental, though to a degree catching your own leg with your foot is 99% of the time deliberate(you fake contact and purposefully catch yourself to make it look like a penalty, or you legitimately get a slight tap.
For me from the video is shows pretty clearly there is that tiny bit of contact at the very last moment possible, not surprised the ref didn't see that, though arguably with VAR, he would have.
