The clue for the ref that it’s a dive is that Cunha goes down only after the contact stops.

Utterly complacent. We could play another 90 minutes, we aren’t scoring.

Same as Arsenal’s second in the League Cup, are they just not looking for it having got used to the VAR safety net?07 Feb 2025 21:55 +0000at://did:plc:jqp7rot3vzmnsnphp3cc4gcm/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhmlpax3pk2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/alexj40.bsky.social/post/3lgiohfuznk2vI’m genuinely interested in what happens when Online Safety Act duties kick in.

It’s not a “straight-armed salute”, it’s not an “odd gesture”, it’s not a “Roman salute”.

No shame losing 3-2 away to Arsenal, with the injuries, suspensions and lack of depth we have by comparison. Good to see Eddie notch his first goal too.
