@henrywinter Why don’t you mention the team that started it? The press seemed to think it was genius when it began?

Grappling at corners was rife during the early stages of the 2018 World Cup, including during England’s games with Tunisia and Colombia. Fifa acted, instructing refs and VAR to crack down on the holding and pulling. It helped for a while. Wrestling in the Premier League, and attempts to crowd out the keeper, risk becoming an epidemic, and inevitably increased with more focus on set-piece goals. It's spoiling the spectacle for many. Officials need to get a grip of the grapplers. If that means more penalties awarded or free-kicks for baulking the keeper ... so be it. The issue will be consistency of application.

@henrywinter Are you not mentioning the similarities to yesterday’s decision?

Who’d have guessed? Arsenal from an inswinging corner. Poor defending by Chelsea. Perfect execution by Arsenal. White got it. Gabriel was there, too. Another assist from Rice. #CHEARS

@talkSPORT If that is in the penalty area, it's a foul. This type of standing on someones foot is nearly always given

@OllieHolt22 Youngest squad in premiership. Qualified for champions league. Final on Wednesday. Happy with that

Louis Saha: "I’m surprised that Raheem Sterling joined Arsenal, but it’s a very good move for him. He did not feel respected at #Chelsea. The way that Chelsea treat people is not very nice. Someone like Sterling, he is not going to just sit there and not play."

@_cuzlightyear @PureMenace7 @ChelsTransfer @premierleague It is. He sticks his arm out for balance AS he challenges for the ball. It’s 100% natural
