usual thread starterâ€¦ Letâ€™s face it, if Arsenal are going to compete for the honours, they canâ€™t play like angels. The memory might play tricks, but I have a feeling that in seasons when we had more red cards, we tended to win things. So if sides want to play dirty against our boys, they have to expect a bit of their own medicine as the Gunners fight for their right to play.

STUCK IN!

It's a man's game. Repka is a scumbag, he got what he deserved. Hughes - you are a muppet and a w*nker.

Angels, no, we have to be able to play hard but we must not be a Blackburn or a Repka, keep within the rules.

You are all right. We had zero protection from officials last season (so what's new?) and whilst I want the 'new Arsenal' to play it hard - get in there Cesc

- I would hate them to become anywhere near thugs like Repka. I think from what we've seen so far this young team can 'strike' the right balance.

hear hear. magic .. we need steel (plenty of it -- hence my username), but we are above scum like bruiseburn and the w*nker repka (rhymes too

)

if english refs insist on not protecting our players from teams who would rather play kungfu than football, we have to learn to roll with them and give a much as we get .. but within reasonable limits of the law ...
