Wednesday's F.A. Cup Matchday Thread here: https://www.bigsoccer.com/community/...ay-matchday-thread-arsenal-v-swansea.1980966/
It's like some sort of bad joke. Podolski was one of the more active players yesterday, certainly more than Theo, and yet, it's Poldi who is subbed off. Again. Is it fitness? Or does Wenger think so little of him? I wonder if Lukas thinks he's better playing harder for a shorter period of time... He goes off the pitch, almost with a smile on his face....
I am having a brain fart here. Madatory three for a straight red or just for one due to violent conduct?
of the straight red card offences, i *think* an automatic 3 match ban is only for violent conduct and serious foul play (2 footed tackles etc). i *think*, in terms of yesterday's game, kompany committed serious foul play whereas (i *think*) koscielny was red carded for denying a goal scoring opportunity. i'm not totally sure, but it may mean koscielny only gets a 1 match ban vs kompany's 3.
Took me over 24 hours to recover from this game. Kos is really the modern Beavis...ain't he? Seemed like both Diaby and Poldy were taking breathers when the set-piece goal happened. Oh well. I was hoping for a draw. This is more realistic. P.S. Arsene's interview after the game regarding transfers was really worrisome.
Just barely. Took about 30 minutes of watching Invincibles vids on Youtube, good medicine for ailing Gooners I tell ya.
