Nick Ames was at Selhurst Park tonight. Here’s his report! Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
Mikel Arteta speaks. “I love to win like this … the way we played in the first half against a team that is so difficult … we dominated but conceded nothing … even with ten men we didn’t concede … I am so happy the team responded in a positive way to win the game … it shows how much we want it.”
As for how difficult it will be for referees to be consistent over the subject of time-wasting? “That is something they will have to do … it is going to be difficult for us … we will have to play with ten or maybe nine or eight, depending on where we put the standard … we can maybe play eight against eight, it will be very entertaining.”
As dry as a very large glass of Albariño.
