Keown is being so disrespectful here. I don't understand why he keeps getting employed. Is there a single human being alive who wants to pay money to see Martin Keown's face?

I don’t think they were playing for the draw - they just struggled to get control of the ball even before the red card.

Keown crying is always a welcome sound.
They were playing for the draw, Raya booked for timewasting, hoofing the ball upfield.

timewasting at home is shameless regardless of the 10 men.

No one in the analysis is questioning why Rice would even risk that whilst already being on a yellow, and give the ref any opportunity to give the red. It's all everyone elses fault.

Well, Richard Dawkins is a renowned evolutionary biologist and I'm sure he'd find it instructive.

But, that apart, no.

I could see that. If Dawkins was running a focus group to research Simians on the path to evolving into fully fledged humans. This way 'Martin'.

This is the first time I've seen a "pundit" mention arteta outside the area

gotta applaud the ref for being brave and giving rice the second yellow today.... it did look like veltman just looked at rice and kicked him in the knee but he shouldn't of kicked the ball away on a yellow.

Rice is a stalwart of the England set-up and was anointed as a future captain by the London (West Ham) media years ago. If he had got away with it he would be “clever”. Very few will acknowledge that he was at fault.

If roles had been reversed the same pundits would be calling Veltman an idiot and saying he got his just desserts. If Romero did it he’d be labelled a cheat who let his teammates down.

Nailed it. Same reason Saka rarely gets called out by the media for constantly diving everywhere. If a foreign player did that, he'd be labelled for life.

Very true mate.

you just know arteta is going to put serious pressure on the PGMOL to overturn red and have rice for NLD...

Hermansen in net for Leicester could have a breakout year. He's got some insane reflexes.

We'll probably see Leicester go down but he might well get a decent transfer if he continues at this rate.

Leon Bailey off injured for villa. Will be a big miss. Don't know how serious it is but he left the field after 16 mins
