Arsenal vs Sevilla: Recent form and team values
Past Meetings and Comparisons Between Home and Away
By Bulldog Drummond
Apologies for the technical factor today. We lost to Untold Arsenal on that end, and the fault was beyond my technical capabilities, which is not unexpected as I have none.
In any case, during our absence, we have become aware of the strenuous efforts still being made through the media to stop the anti-Arsenal propaganda, and now they are giving transparent aid to Tottenham as in the Telegraph article. . . The elegance of Ange Postecoglou is presented as little Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal have 16 yellow cards and while this statistic is not the end all be all of football, it is a vital component of it and yet it is completely ignored while the media constantly talks about a ‘rant ” unfinished Arsenal. manager. If ever an example of biased reporting across any stakeholder is needed, this is worth another.
Thus, the media follows its classic path: they focus on a single topic and, as always, they do not miss publishing an article on their topic when they can publish two. That is also why “the FA demands explanations from Mikel Arteta and Arsenal about Var’s tirade” from the Telegraph.
According to the newspaper, Arteta’s comments were branded “disgraceful” by Ref Support UK, which is anything but original. Especially since a careful reading of his report shows that the reason for his embarrassment is precisely explained. And I suppose they realize this as they then revert to the popular expression “post-party rant. “
But then, I suppose one might wonder if the constant use of the word “rant” is “embarrassing” when done through other people whose job it is to speak. Well, yes, it may be, I think I would just call that type of writing “inept. ” But maybe if I kept using the same word over and over again to describe a complex situation, I would actually feel embarrassed by my own lack of writing skills.
According to the Standard, Eddie Nketiah will undergo a fitness check ahead of the fit today, after missing yesterday’s education session.
The newspaper and others also inform us that Martin Odegaard is expected to miss today’s match. Although it may seem quite strange, according to their “report” it seems that “Gabriel Jesus is still absent, he was summoned through Brazil for the foreign service on Monday. “
Which leaves us with a standard that says
Arsenal’s editor at Football. London claims that “Ben White wishes a break after so many back-to-back starts and Zinchenko can unlock a firm Sevilla defence”.
However, Football. London hints that Sevilla are also suffering from injuries by reporting that “As shown on La Liga’s official website, goalkeeper Orjan Nyland, legendary defender Sergio Ramos and Argentina World Cup winner Marcos Acuña are among the 24 men who will travel to London. along with Marcao and Adnan Januzaj, who are registered in the contest.
The BBC has an attractive statistic: Arsenal have won just three of their 11 Champions League matches against Spanish teams. However, two of those wins came in their three games against Sevilla, adding to a 3-0 home win in September. 2007.
And there’s a positive point they make.
“Arsenal have managed to score in one of their last 26 Champions League games, a 2-0 home defeat to Barcelona in the round of 16 of 2015-16. “
It’s quite ironic when you think back to the days when the Hounds would obviously notice the number of players cautioned or sent off under Wenger, as the general would be argued every time we went to some other game (whether justified or not). It’s very true that they never do that with any other team and, as you say, we have a lot fewer people talking about it now!
Hopefully, in tonight’s match we will have to worry less about the referee, not a PGMOL person.
However, I prefer our game on Saturday for the following reasons:
Due to the fake “controversy” surrounding Arteta, I’ve noticed a report that PGMOL has appointed their “best” referee for the attack: Michael Oliver, the guy who will have to hold the record for fastest consecutive yellow cards, (for an Arsenal player, of course).
I hope I’m wrong, but I’m all for PGMOL’s revenge – what better chance will they have to stuff Arsenal?
The ramblings I’ve heard come from the media.
John L.
“I’ve noticed a report that PGMOL has appointed its ‘best’ fit referee, Michael Oliver, the guy who will hold the record for fastest consecutive yellow cards of all time (to an Arsenal player, of course). “
Howard Webb has appointed (let’s say maybe for now) a referee who recently failed to send off a Manchester City player opposing us, a resolution of which Howard Webb said:
“Howard Webb admits that Matthew Kovacic deserved to have been sent off against Arsenal in the Man City controversy. Refereeing leader Howard Webb admitted Michael Oliver was not going to send off Manchester City midfielder Mateo Kovacic at Arsenal on Sunday.
Then it turns out that their “best” referee is willing to send off an Arsenal player for 2 innocent fouls, but refuses to send off a Man City player opposed to Arsenal for 2 transparent yellow/red fouls.
You just couldn’t make this up.
Oliver is a Newcastle supporter and is unlikely to do us any favours. Can you really trust it to offer fair functionality in a game where one of the groups is a direct competitor to their favorite?I still don’t think PGMO is a fair organization when it features all the candor of an American professional wrestling match.
