I wasn't a big fan of football growing up and if I'm being honest with myself I doubt football would have been a big fan of me. Having said that I won a game of 3 and in against all the top players in my school in year 11, a prize I will take to my grave

Get the mortgage on Everton most SOT, most corners, most possession and 1-0 Man Utd

You only have to look at Man u with a crumbling stadium and £1b debt like a mill wheel around their neck to know its not about protecting clubs from unscrupulous owners.

I still think the FFP system is fundamentally flawed and skewed in a way that benefits established teams, however on flip side of that it's imperative that there's a way to stop clubs overreach and bankrupting a club essentially wiping it off the map and also I think it would be unfair to allow clubs such as our to spend unfettered. There has to be a better way of policing finances without restricting competition.

Well, that was 2hrs of my life wasted, so pedestrian, happy to play keep ball for 90 minutes and no risks taken in possession, yawn.

How has VAR looked at that and not overruled?

I take it there's no VAR tonight then?

100% pen?

100%

Talk of big point deductions for the likes of Chelsea and City, for me I think they should have point deductions for a set number of years rather than give them it in one go, ensures they won't be fighting at the top for some time. Liklihood is that they tangle this up in the courts for years and get away with it though.

Arsenal should absolutely be charged for this too, you can understand when a manager doesn't like losing and is emotional in the aftermath, especially with a contentious decision. But for the club to post such a statement after the fact is absurd! Also, seen a lot of "big 6" supporters sticking with Arsenal on this, even after the VAR release, mostly man u and Liverpool though tbf because they're perpetual victims apparently.

Just came in to post this, why has it taken so long?

And yet the Arsenal supporters and that nonce Mark Goldbridge still crying in the face of incontrovertible evidence the right call was made. There was no solid evidence to overrule the onfield decision therefore it cannot be overruled. What do they want PGMOL to start doing guess work and imparting opinion on decisions? That would last about 5 seconds before that was a "fix".

Alternatively, lose to PSG and we're out no matter what, really all hinges on the PSG game.

So Arteta and all their supporters can find a safe space?

Last thing we need is Chelsea pulling their fingers out too, gonna be a tough ask to finish in Europe

I think that was a red, took the player before touching the ball and studs up

Think some of our players need to pull international "sickies" they need a rest, not travelling half way round the world for dead rubbers.

What's most embarrassing is they're abusing one of the best signings we've ever made, believed in something enough to come to a team that looked like it was heading for relegation, leaving a UCL team and single handedly hauled us up by the short and curries. Literally the last player that deserves any abuse, absolute dangers.

Anyone judging and blaming anyone for that game tonight needs throwing off the closest building. There are no mitigations for the amount of players we have missing, 5 or 6 players is a crisis, 13 players is armageddon. We're down to having to play kids, OAPs and 4th choice players, how do you get a tune out of that? Any more injuries and I'm pretty sure a few of us will have to dust our boots off. There is no way this could have been forseen, we're 3 years or so away from our bottom of the barrel players being anything but cannon fodder. Valiant effort from the Z team, take the L, hopefully the 2 week break puts us in a better position, but I said that last month so who knows at this point???

Can't wait to play these pricks at SJP

This has been horrific but what can we expect with no first team available. I've never known injuries like it, we've been cursed this season.

Poor from Pope, which is a shame because he's been so good all game. This has been eye bleedingly bad.

One angry rat off another one on
