Brentford boss Thomas Frank was absolutely right. Kai Havertz had no right to be on the pitch when he scored the winner in Arsenal's 2-1 win over Brentford. The Germany international, having received a caution for throwing his elbow, elected to dive in the Brentford penalty area in order to try to seek a clear advantage.
However, what was more troubling was that referee Robert Jones refused to do anything about it, even though the Brentford defenders were waving an imaginary card in the air in an attempt to bring the incident to his attention.
For Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to then glorify the "manner of the win" in his post-match interview, having seen him gloating with Havertz at the end of the game, was a poor advert and only served to rub salt in Brentford's wounds.
Fortunately for Arsenal, White was on hand to play a pivotal role in Arsenal's victory over the Bees. Two beautifully floated crosses provided excellent assists in what was otherwise a rather grubby affair by the Gunners. If Arsenal are going to win the title please don't win it like this. - Garth Crooks sounds bitter this week.

Try jumping for a football with your elbows in Gunglist. Kai eye was on the ball not on the player, should have never been a yellow in the first place.
{Ed014's Note - Garth Crooks though, that guy is so bitter, if he gives one of our boys a spot on his joke of a team of the week he has to slag off Arsenal in it! ?
He gave that clown Garnacho a spot in his team last week just because he’d won two penalties! Wtf ???

I'm not in the slightest bit worried about Garth Crooks opinion never have been, but the fact remains just like all other clubs sometimes we get lucky with decisions and sometimes we get hard done by just like everyone else.
In my opinion the poor old victim mentality Arsenal let's us down, we are back in the big time 100% on merit our being humble image if much more befitting of this team than our same old Arsenal always moaning image of the past. If we want to be humble both champions but be seen as dignified and humble champions we have to take knocks on the chin the same as we take the lucky breaks in our stride.

This thread seems to have taken an odd twist. These aren't Gung's words. He's quoting some crook plonk.
