A draw or loss for Man Utd please 

Man Utd loss and we would still be the ones they call us for relegation.

We edge it in the stats, but the main stat at the end of the is the scoreline. 

[toonotl 3431]

The two periods at the beginning of each half today could've made the match something else entirely if we had a bit of luck and a little less corruption from the officials. Hard result to take given we were good enough (despite a few poor performances) to get a result. Not too heart breaking though. We're easily good enough to get the required points to get CL football next season from here.

Just pure unchecked insanity being broadcast across the airwaves. And it’s not even a theory, it’s a shower thought at best. He should have opened his wage-stealing 90 minute monologue of nonsense by just saying “An Arsenal win here helps Man United so that’s going to be my focus here, Martin” and then at least he’d be honest 

[wykikitoon 22872]

Gallas looks like a bald Morgan Freeman 

[Ayatollah Hermione 14672]

Mind, I’ve never heard refs booed off like that before, dear me  Eddie Howe may have another apology to add to the pile 

[Isegrim 10350]

I think we would have run them over had we scored but were far too wasteful with our chances.

[wykikitoon 22872]

Ramsdale has only made more saves in one match this season.  So we haven't done too bad.

[wykikitoon 22872]

Fuck me  

Playmobil heed uses a video to motivate his players and they're talking about it as if it's never been done before in life

I can’t get over that handball law tbh. How hard is it to just say “if that ball hits your arm and it’s canny apparent that you meant it, it’s handball” Why the FUCK are they obsessed with convoluting everything? No wonder the refs are fucking useless, no cunt could possibly make a decision in real time with this rule book

It's the clear and obvious bit for me that's CLEAR as day why VAR was brought in.  Ref gave a pen.  It should have stood.  It wasn't a CLEAR AND OBVIOUS error in officiating.  If it was, then why did it take numerous checks and a long time to check? 

[MMXXVIII 1296]

We'll see how the season pans out but that was the first time I felt we are weak.

[v.old 76]

I thought the VAR drama suppressed our mood, improved their mood but most significantly the length of the hiatus totally disrupted our dominance of them. Did they score almost immediately after? Feels as if they did. Having said that our response was surprisingly inadequate and they deserved the win

We played the second in the league who have been top of the league for the majority of the season.  The pundits have lauded them and City most of the season.  Rightly so.  But we have gone toe to toe with them for large parts of that game.

We looked weak. How it's addressed I leave in the hands of Sir Eddie.

Hope the extra drinking time makes it a tremendous atmosphere today. Think if we can do our get at them quick thing, we just may come away with all three.

 

I can’t make my mind up between Joe out left to add a bit of grit or Isak out left to terrify them. Suppose it depends how Sean is doing.

 

3-2

Don't do this again

[wykikitoon 22872]

Plymobil heed out.

 

I HOPE YOUR COACH BREAKS DOWN!!!!

[Renton 23677]

Travelling back now. Nappy's intact. You have to give Arsenal credit for the position they've achieved in the league. Man City will win it but nobody can stop them for the foreseeable. 

 

I think Howe got it wrong today. He gambled too much in the starting line up. There was honestly no need for this. We had to score early doors and after Murphy hit the post I feared the worst. This was 90 seconds in, but was the sliding doors moment. Had that went in, we would have won, comfortably. As it was when they went ahead, due to a weaker midfield pulling our defence apart, we had no subs left to improve things. Imo anyway. but I acknowledge I know fuck all.

 

Ateotd, Arsenal wont win the league and we will still get CL I reckon. What next? Who will take on the challenge of the Leeds thread? Not me, that's for certain.

100%
 

He didn't have a fucking clue if it did or didn't hit his arm after watching 10 replays.  Therefore you stick with the onfield decision
