Mate, you're embarrassing yourself. A 50-50 implies no one had possession of the ball. The Forrest guy was dribbling the ball and the tackle came from behind and through his leg (that you see buckle from the challenge). Doesn't get more 100% pen than that.

I only saw it one time, has to watch it again. I’m just saying that when I watched it it looked like a 50-50, I could be completely wrong tho (looks like I am)

Really? Could have sworn it happened in a big game last year or the year before and a free-kick was given to the other team.
Commentator in the Fox Sports game I watched mentioned it would be re-taken though. Not sure myself.

I think they’re much more interested in winning the EL this year. That’s going to be their only way back into the CL.

Thanks mate, that makes sense. Just seemed overly disrespectful to the competition, thought the big guns would have come off the bench at least.
Happy days though. Perfect set of results. Happy Sunday.

Leeds, West Ham and Arsenal all failed to win in a series of results which fucked my Sunday acca up big time. Spurs were the only 'expected' winners by 3-0.

Not bad for a team that lacks creativity, only passes sideways, doesn't create chances and has Sissoko in the team.

Feel a bit sorry for Forest, its gonna be all about Wenger and Arsenal losing as opposed to them winning well.

On a tackle from that angle it is always safer to assume the foul than a clean tackle. Much harder to get the ball than the man. That's part of the reason the famous Ledley-Robben one is so amazing. He had to foul him but he didn't.

I don't understand managers that don't stop moaning about refereeing decisions. You need them on your side surely? I can't see how being disrespectful improves the situation at all.

Fergie used to apply pressure on them though didn't he? I think he was kind and said nice things about them if things were going well for them but he'd have a gripe if a decision went against them. Wenger has obviously messed up with his words though.

Ironic that Sissoko got an assist with a sideways pass...
