Very unsportsmanlike behaviour for the Smith Rowe goal but it is Arsenal.

Unsportsmanlike?

It should have been a foul.

Yes, not giving the ball back to Watford after they kicked it out. Basic etiquette. We even do it at 5-a-side level.

I was watching MOTD 2 last night and the 'experts' were defending Arsenal for carrying on as it signals the end of them being a soft touch. All well and good but there is still a need for etiquette. They did a similar thing years ago against Sheffield United in the FA Cup and the game was voided and replayed

Yeh there's not being a soft touch and then there's plain being a bunch of bells.

The replay I watched must not have gone back far enough

The replay I watched must not have gone back far enough

Watford player went down, Rose kicked it out for a throw, Lacazette took it and threw it back to an Arsenal player and they attacked.

Yeah I didn't see all that which is why I was confused. And you're right that's not on.

Also thought it was a clear foul on Sarr right before.

According to BBC website ‘He’s one of the best free-kick takers in the Premier League’.
How many free-kicks has he ever scored?

Just found out the answer: 5

Baines has 2 in one game ffs.

Love the fact that ITV got the rights off BT for the FA Cup, meaning every televised game will be on terrestrial television.

Proper old school having both BBC and ITV having FA Cup games this season

BT Sports scaling back, shock horror after the mammoth CL contract.

But yeah, great. Love the FA Cup, not that I’ve seen us win it mind. Delighted everyone will have access

Just watched the fa cup 2nd round draw, 2 women and one black ex player fronting it. Good to see diversity doesn't include the people who make up the majority of fans and players. Things like that create divisions and anger.

Yeah, I'm absolutely livid that one single FA Cup draw out of the thousands done in history did not reflect my white maleness back at me. They've gone too far this time. I mean, really. Women and black people. For shame. They'll be playing the game next.

We need more FA Cup draws done by members of the British Army. Nothing arouses me quite as much as seeing the FA Cup handled manfully by uniformed officers. Proper order.
