Both times there was contact but both were dives.

Exactly. I know you can't touch the striker if you're on the wrong side but it's a joke that Chamakh is hurling himself to the ground when Caulker brushes his arm, there is literally no way that could impede Chamakh when he's running at fult pelt into the box.

It's a tough one as there is still contact but put it this way, if that has been me who'd had my arm brushed at the level I play at (uni), there's no way I'd have gone down as I'd have looked like a fucking idiot.

I think they were both pens however the inconsistency of refs will always frustrate me. This same ref will have the same shirt pulling in his next ,match and not give a pen

The first one, contact was minimal. The second, Caulker blotted his copybook, because that was definitely a pull-back, whether or not Chamakh fell over or not.

assnal will do an italy now. Waste time, roll on the ground etc.

Happy for Keane to get a goal. Some promise shown by Caulker. Livermore, maybe it's just over-exuberance but he looks to have some serious composure issues at times. It's like watching a tall Edgar Davids at times. Relax dood.

Sandro has also looked promising, one or two sloppy giveaways aside.

Shocked some are saying they were pens, first one was a joke, the second one at least was contact but their player was delighted at the chance to go to ground and took it.

Think wengers talk has got to this ref, we have barely been allowed to touch them and a number of fouls on ours have been ignored


Get real if you touch any striker in the penalty area when you are the wrong side they are going to go down.

Bentley you are a twat....Fact!

I'm sorry, I don't care, but Bentley has been the shittest player on the pitch. Constantly losing it, providing nothing, and missing that chance was the fucking icing on the cake.

Sandro looks good

Otherwise a waste for many players waiting for their chance

Bentley must never play for the spurs first eleven ever again
