Both players led with their arms, one player jumped higher and ended up not being the dead one.

I always love it when one of these things comes up and you have a wildly inaccurate description of what happened.

Is the wildly inaccurate description the description of what actually happened but because it was an Arsenal player the facts don't matter?

video is there. Both players jump throwing their arms into the air, bellerin jumped way too early so his arms were on the down swing before the ball arrived

Bellerin's arms come down almost immediately, and he's not leading with his elbow. Both players are at roughly the same place in their arcs; Alonso is just much higher. It's like you live in opposite world.

Its almost like you have never jumped to challenge for a header before. Also Coquelin doing what appeared to be a bug from fifa while defending the second goal was hilarious

You guys just looked so bad yesterday. Iwobi and Walcott were just anonymous, could not be bothered, you looked shambles in defense, Coquelin looked awful.

Your team is built to finish between third and fifth and your manager has the same mentality.

Not sure what you're getting at here. Arsenal aren't winning every match because their team is unbalanced and their defense is poo poo, but that doesn't mean that the erotic fiction that Byolante writes for Tony Pulis fan sites is true.

Conte after the match laughed and said that in Italy or Spain that it would be foul, then laughed and said 'but not in England'.

it's because Arsenal have no spine from the top down

Ozil is allowed to check out of every big game and the only other good player they have also doesn't put in a shift against contenders. again and again.

John terry has strange views about become a coach

This generation of footballers have earned very good money throughout their time, and we need to make it easier for them to get into coaching roles – by not doing the full length of the FA coaching course.

TBH, I was being far too simplistic in my glib statement about SAF earlier, far too little has been made of the impact of it being BOTH he and Gill jumping ship at the same time that left the Glazer's with their trousers hilariously around their ankles showing off their Tampa Bay boxer shorts.

That and Ed's amazing incompetence when it comes to the transfer market, of course. The club went from having some of the best football and football business knowledge in the world in charge of pretty much all day to day club affairs, to having a manager with potential hoping to step up and a complete buffoon in charge of all day to day club affairs.

No I don't run United.

I don't understand what footballers earning a lot of money during their playing careers has to do with not completing the entire coaching course. Is he implying they ought to be bribing the licensing board to become coaches?

Well when you're a racist brave leader legend captain type, you already know the ins and outs of player relationships, playing away from home, scouting for new talent, stadium tours, etc.

The question should be why aren't UEFA begging him to accept their badges as a bestowed gift?
