Fulham v Arsenal match thread

[The King]

The way Ian Darke pronounces Cazorla as "Cathorla" like some Castilian twit is irritating as sh1t.  

It always makes me cringe when you Engländers try to pronounce names. Spanish ones are usually the worst. Also it's stupid when someone pronounces Ruiz as "Ruith", as the z=th is only in European Spanish.

Also, ffs Sidwell.

[FC Silver Fox]

Well, that's that then. Might as well all go home now. We'll finish with 9 men.

[LordNelson]

Good Lord, why even watch now.  This will be either boring as watching grass grow or a felonious blood-letting.

[Jimpav]

Well done Sidwell. First time in the PL that a Fulham player has had back to back red cards?

Time to move along next season.

[Lighthouse]

Sidwell a bit unlucky but we can all go home now.

[grandad]

COYW give it a real go.

I didn´t mean you Sidwell.

[Ordar]

Was it a justified red? I'm not watching the stream.

[Mitrovic the warrior]

Sidwell a bit unlucky but we can all go home now.

Really? Was a clear red, completely unnecessary.

[jarv]

Thank goodness Fulham are safe. Looks like another toothless performance, got  3-0 +  written all over it. I'm off, got things to do, will check back in at 1/2 time.

[St Eve]

I have never rated Sidwell and always expected him to get a yellow every game but this is absurd. Ship him out at the end of the season

[FC Silver Fox]

I reckon we'll lose this by at least 3 goals.  Our plucky lads are going to be knackered before half-time.

[Northern Cottager]

I hope the cottage booed him as he headed down the tunnel.

[IranianCottager]

Berba should have scored...

[LordNelson]

Was it a justified red? I'm not watching the stream.

Not the worst in the world but defn justified. Absolutely unnecessary on Sidwell's part--so frustrating.

[T.G.]

Berba good effort. Keep it up.

.

Yes. Dead cert red

[God The Mechanic]

It's the same tackle he did against QPR, lunging in from afar.  You can debate the merits of it being a red all you want, but you have to be an absolute moron to do it again, 12 minutes into your comeback game.  Completely inexcusable, and that should hopefully be that for his Fulham career.

Berba should have scored then too, or at least made it more of a difficult save.

[God The Mechanic]

Oh, and that's is definitely the end of any possible hopes of Fair Play Europa League qualification :P

I'm gobsmacked ! Just tuned in to Gentleman Jim, and the first thing I heard was ".....down to ten men......"

It defies belief !

Correct decision, but quite often you see players in the "big" teams getting away with just a yellow for similar challenges...
