Woop! Talking point is obviously the challenge by cesc. Worthy of a yellow, but not a red IMO.
If he should have been sent off, then there's no question Karl henry should have been for putting his studs into Arshavin's shin before the Cesc incident.
Great to see Chamakh doing so well, I can't understand his critics, he's not a goalscorer, yet he has 8+ goals already for us in all comps. He's skilful, quick, and can finish on the ground, most importantly, he has a great leap and can head the ball unlike RVP

It will be on MOTD... Didn't see it properly, but he goes for a challenge with a wolves player also going for it, both going for the ball, but Cesc is late and catches Ward.
Is Fabregas going through a frustrated spell or something? Against Newcastle he wasn't at his best, looked clearly frustrated and put a fair few mistimed/dirty challenges in (although that could just be from Barton winding him up)

Seems a bit ironic that Cesc gets sent off especially after what Wenger has stated in the past and Wolves were mentioned as being physical and a dirty side. Dont get me wrong as not trying to start an argument here but I think Arsenal are now bottom of the fair play league.
what are you two on about ?oO)
I watched the match and Fabregas never got sent off !
I'm very happy to see him doing well too but I can understand his critics, today is like the first time he's displayed any real aerial ability, against Newcastle he didn't win that many aerial challenges iirc and most of us expected him to give us that dimension.
How is it high? They're both on the ground, and he catches him above the foot. If you'd seen Henry's tackle you would see why Arsenal fans are saying it was a yellow, not red.
Or for that matter, Essien's - Two footed, he literally jumps on the other player's legs (almost at least, he lands short)
I can't disagree. Only thing I can see is there's definetely no malice or bad intentions in the challenge but I guess you can say that for many challenges, tbh he's lucky to get away with a yellow there.

I only went on what the guy above me said too so, I also apologise
both deserved red cards, fab was very very lucky
He has scored headers now against:
Bolton
Blackpool
Wolves
Partizan
Won a lot of headers too more generally. He scored 8 headed goals for Bordeaux last season in the CL. He is versatile too, as I said, he also score, from the floor, against:
Wolves
Shakhtar
Braga
Birmingham
He's obviously not an out and out goalscorer, but he's doing pretty well
I'm not sure about him winning a lot of headers, the Newcastle game was particularly shocking when it came to our aerial ability. I'm not saying he's doing badly but we need him to give us a new dimension by winning headers. However I may just be venting my frustration from the Newcastle game on him.He has scored headers now against:
