Referee was an absolute joke in the Swans vs Stoke game. Still raging!
Said he "thought" he saw a handball in the box in the 95th minute.
Bust up in the tunnel after the game when Alan Curtis and the goalkeeping coach approached the referee with a laptop asking to "prove which player handled the ball", and he flat out refused to acknowledge them.
We deserved to win that game, after the shocking tactics on display by Stoke

I wouldn't even say the bottom is that predictable with the Mackems now picking up points. Palace are dead and buried but then you have S'land/Fulham/Stoke/Cardiff/Hull/Villa who could all go down.
To be fair I'm not too disappointed, in fact I'm surprised how good we have done its just results like Hull/Sunderland which are a let down. Plus I do still hate Pardew.
that's just so wrong, all those years at Arsenal.
respect is a two way street don't blame him for the way arsenal fans react and chant about him
wenger thinking about if he had rvps till and rooney

Personally, something in me feels it a little condescending when ex players don't celebrate after scoring against their old clubs. Would rather they did.
I think it conveys a kind of patronising "Aah, bless you. I'm really sorry" message rather than a recognition that you've managed to score against a very good team.

Average. Fortunately Arsenal were in their normal 'Oh **** we're playing United' mood.
It wasn't a bad performance, far from it probably.
First half was better than the second but losing Vidic was a blow as Jones was doing a good job in the middle.
Relatively comfortable bar the Sagna swingers.
Not saying it's a great/best/amazing etc though before anyone jumps on that bandwagon. It was just solid enough to do the job.

Agree, it was largely comfortable aside from a couple of dodgy crosses. Arsenal were utterly woeful in the first half, didn't look up for it (something I suspected might happen).

I guess it's a good sign the defenders seem to be getting some form.

Didn't think either team played particularly well. Could have easily lost that goal against a mid table team. I don't remember hardly any shots on target from open play.
I thought arsenal might win but as its at utd then it doesn't surprise me. The tactics did remind me of everton though more than utd. I thought whoever got the first goal would win it but I thought there would be more goals.
It's not the end of the world, still two points clear at the top and got Liverpool, spurs and utd out of the way for now. October/november is never a good time for us but we need a strong come back against Southampton.

Not sure, you can see the video, it does look like the guy behind hte stoke player may accidentally clear the ball away from the goal with his arm. It did appear to be travelling towards the goal and with a stoke player near it on the line so could well have ended up a goal. It's very hard to see but does look like it probably hit the guys left arm.
Thing is, players claiming for it doesn't mean anything, if a ref see's a handball he doesn't ignore it unless players ask for it, that is absurd. I think that it's going towards goal is what would make it maybe worth a penalty IF that was a handball. Harsh on the player as he really couldn't see it coming around the stoke player I'd think.
Rooney should have buried his chance he had to make it 2-0.
There was also the clumsy challenge in the box from Giroud, I've seen it again since and I still think it's a penalty.
