We won it late. Leicester totally in it until the sending off. Once Monreal stuck his leg out he was asking for trouble, I'm sure anyone from "The invincibles" side would have gone over the same way as Vardy. Sanchez & Özil & Cech (if he was outfield) would have gone over the same way. They know the score. The rest of this team....not so sure. Still don't trust us in the run in. Sanchez has to be on point all the way.
Perception is a funny thing. If you read our forum and the Leicster forum everyone feels the ref screwed them over

Even if it is a penalty, Özil should of had a free kick before that. The red card looks harsh because it was in quick succession, when really he should of been carded earlier for doing in throughout the first half.

Great scouting from Leicester to get him from Le Havre...which is not even in Ligue 1

Remember when Lucas/Suarez ran into Eboue and rolled onto the floor in our penalty box...drew level at 1-1 at FT.

There havnt been one single game we didnt win, in the last 10 years where our fans didnt complain about the ref - There have even been criticism of Özil inhere when he didnt take an easy penalty but stayed on his feet rather than go down.
Wenger is one of the worst managers to blame refs, luck, weather, rules etc on a loss.
Not to mention our onfield antics - I can understand why neutrals are sick and tired of Giroud spending so much time on his back, complaining to the ref or other players - sadly he isnt the only one of our players to do so.
it might be because I watch more of our games and interact more with our fans - but I can see why our fanbase + wenger got a reputation for being the ones who whines the most

The ref had a shocker I think, let so many fouls go in the first half then went card crazy in the second. The penalty should not have ensued as Özil was fouled by Morgan just before they broke. We should have had a penalty from Kante hand ball earlier. Simpson definitely deserved the sending off. And Drinkwater probably deserved a red for that high tackle on Aaron (but as Simpson was sent off not long prior, he probably thought it harsh) !

Apparently Welbeck's goal was the 100th in 90+ minutes meaning Arsenal have done this more times in EPL than any other team.
as much as I don't like that kind of act, remember the days our team didn't complain at all and referees got away with murder?
Eduardo & Ramsey incident happened during those period I think

Are Leicester fans and neutrals stupid?
There was not a single incorrect decision that went against them through out that whole match.
Not even one.

We might have edged it even if it was 11 v 11 ..its just how we build momentum gradually in the 2nd half...they defended admirably but our finishing was just shocking...I mean look at Sanchez with his airshot...

I loved it from our fans - pressuring Atkinson - Dont really think players doing it got much of an impact, but cant really blame them, seeing as everyone does it.
Still a firm believer in that a dive should be punished to fit the crime - How much impact does a dive in the penalty area have if its given? is it only worthy of a yellow?
I would not think it harsh if a dive in the area or one that gets a player sent off is punished by lethal injection - but I can live with a 2 month ban : O)
Pretty much never giving out even a yellow for trying to cheat - something is seriously wrong and the rules got most of the blame.

the moment Coq (on a yellow) pushed Mahrez when he was subbed off, I thought he was gonna get a second yellow.

he likely should have if Atkinson was consistent - Tbh I dont think Simpson should have been sent off - it was technically possible but most games would end up with 14 players on the pitch if the line was to be followed.
100% sure Atkinson saw his mistake regarding our penalty in the first half and tried to make up for it

It's Arsenal against the world over again and I'm loving it.
The thing about that Vardy penalty is that while it may be a penalty. It shouldn’t be, or at least pundits shouldn’t justify it.
You can’t condemn someone for diving to win a penalty or card and then condone that sort of play; they’re at the same end of the spectrum.
I don’t blame the ref for giving it, in real time it’s a tough call but Leicester should never of been in that position, Morgan was so far over Özil he could of given him a Valentine’s day surprise.

Don't blame me. As I mentioned elsewhere, I caught only the last 5 minutes of the game right in time for Danny goal and it was absolutely bonkers
I am almost through to reading the matchday thread and I almost feel equally the same enjoyment by reading the replies of when the goal went in.
