What a narrow win against Wolves last Friday, with our only goal scored by Gabriel. Unfortunately, Arsenal were forced to play without the other Gabriel (Martinelli) towards the last quarter of the game, after being mysteriously shown two yellow cards in quick succession.
Here’s some information that was shared to me by a fellow Gooner, This was taken from the FA website:
ADVANTAGE – allows play to continue when an offence occurs, and the non-offending team will benefit from the advantage and penalises the offence if the anticipated advantage does not ensue at that time or within a few seconds.
So, could someone explain why Martinelli was sent off? These English referees don’t even know how to apply the rules that they are paid to know. Jeez!! How are they professionals, I wonder.
Anyway, we owe Wolves despite their moaning and having lost to us, as they beat Spurs soundly last weekend. The Arsenal are currently on 39 points, with 3 games in hand. If we win all 3, 4th spot is ours and we might be in for a fight for the 3rd spot. Of course, we’d have to play our A game to catch up. Being long suffering Gooners, we know the Arsenal always like a challenge and make things difficult for themselves. Hopefully, we end the season in the top-4 and qualify for Europe next season.
Next, we host Brentford and the match is on 19 February 2022 at 11 pm. They beat us in the opening game, can we take revenge this time round?
