Football Weekly
All square between Arsenal and Atléti, plus a Premier League preview: Football Weekly Extra

I did think, like...

Football Weekly

I think that everyone's sort of blown all of this up too much.

Football Weekly

I think also worth saying that at the other end, if this was a penalty, I think Luckman could have had a penalty not very long before and didn't go down.

Do you know what the other weird thing with that is, though?

Football Weekly

Because everyone's agreed on this.

Football Weekly
All square between Arsenal and Atléti, plus a Premier League preview: Football Weekly Extra

I feel like I haven't heard one dissenting opinion on this.

Football Weekly

People saying they were surprised that it was overturned once the referees made the decision.

But what is also true is like, when did you last see a referee go to the monitor and go, no, I was right?

Football Weekly

It's worth mentioning as well, on the actual football part of it, whether or not it's a penalty, I think it's definitely a very risky challenge by Hanko, who also gave away the first penalty.

Football Weekly

I know some people were saying, couldn't he have gone for the first one because of denial of a scoring opportunity?

Football Weekly

And I think that with a double jeopardy definitely shouldn't be a red card, but people have talked about it, so worth saying.

Football Weekly

But I think it's really interesting because we hyper-focus on, undisbandedly, these moments around penalties because they can decide games differently.

But Hank also made some really important challenges up the pitch, pressing high and playing aggressive and turning the ball over in that second half that led to nice attacks for Atletico.

Football Weekly

So I suppose just worth reminding ourselves that football games are 90 minutes and have moments, don't they?

Football Weekly
All square between Arsenal and Atléti, plus a Premier League preview: Football Weekly Extra

Yeah, I think that'll depend a bit on how the game goes, obviously.

Football Weekly

And I think the fear that we talk about can come in depending on how a game goes.

Football Weekly
All square between Arsenal and Atléti, plus a Premier League preview: Football Weekly Extra

Almost in some ways, you can almost imagine if Arsenal score early in that game and do what they do and immediately retreat into or just sit on this now.

Football Weekly

I do think that for most fans, it feels like the Premier League is this weighty thing that has been this club's

Football Weekly
All square between Arsenal and Atléti, plus a Premier League preview: Football Weekly Extra

need and this need for validation and they were they were so far in front that they shouldn't blow it that this feels different to the champions league where even now and even if they win this time they're not going to be the favorites it is a different feeling i think that's been true not just for us not to be fair i think that's true for most clubs playing in europe and i think that's why you see quite a few premier league clubs this season have had these almost pleasant breaks to europe in between not so pleasant times in the premier league

Football Weekly

I do think it's particularly like the question like up front with Gyokuro.
