They have a terrible habit of signing the other brother. Lee Howey, Anton Ferdinand & now Jobe Bellingham. I don't think there's another club that's been so consistent in signing the less talented brother.

Excellent come back

Forest players getting out the mountaineering gear to climb all over players but the ref just waves it away. Pathetic officiating.

The guy is an absolute cunt so it stands to reason that he'd support Arsenal.

Wonder what Paellardyce will blame the loss on this time around.

Superb performance. I don't think that there's another team I enjoy seeing lose more than Arsenal. Horrible team, horrible manager.

Nice work. Get fucked Chelsea.

That penalty decision underlines the problem with refereeing and VAR. Even after VAR intervened and had the ref rewatch the incident, the referee could have simply decided that they were in the right to award the penalty and there's nothing that VAR or anyone else could have done to stop them. Give VAR equal powers to the referee and allow them to intervene for any decision, even when a blatant foul isn't inside the box and half the issues with refereeing would stop. Allow them to tell the referee to give a yellow card for a dive as well while we're at it.

Utterly deranged. Yes, it was outside the box but it's a fucking clear foul.

We missed so many opportunities in that game that the team really can't have too many complaints about the loss. We played well everywhere except when it came to putting the ball in the back of the net, then we completely fell apart. Atrocious refereeing didn't help.

To add to that. A lot of the biggest clubs in Europe have fans from all over the world because they're the top teams in their national leagues. Throw them all into a super league and 15 of those top teams are now the also-rans. What happens when no one is interested in watching Atletico vs Man Utd compete for a 14th place finish? Getting all those huge sponsorship deals is great when you're at the top but what happens when they all dry up because you're now a perennial mid-table team?

We've got to learn how to finish. So many chances utterly whiffed.

Players have had the option to buy out their contracts for a while now, this ruling reads like their previous club can't withhold their registration until they have paid the contract back. It probably won't change a great deal except that top players will get bigger contracts that would cost players more to buy out and they'll get them more often so the timeframe where they're allowed to buy the contracts out is limited.

It's probably the team's biggest weakness, we've struggled for ages to break down teams who sit deep and defend in numbers. We play great against teams who push up the field and attack us as it allows our attackers to use their pace to get in behind the defence but all of that is nullified if the opposition just stay in the 18 yard box.

Considering some of the blatant penalties that have been denied in previous seasons against City, we probably were lucky to have it given.
