Haha yep, the Optus feed here in Oz had the same commentator. Arteta’s histrionics were fucking hilarious - I’ve never been so relaxed as those last 20 mins under the circumstances. You could see he’d lost it, and his heedless war dance wasn’t helping his side who looked increasingly clueless

Keegan’s outburst was with two games remaining. And he was right.

Loved that by Eddie’s shithousing Mags. Arteta’s total fanny performance on the touch line just made it all the sweeter - he was panicking and that seemed to spread to his players. Top managers don’t fall into that trap, Mikel, you complete bellend HTL

Yeah, agreed. He’s a mediocre winger - but I love him in central midfield. Bruno doesn’t look the same without Joelinton alongside him

Don’t worry about that - the fact that they’d even gloat tells you how far they’ve fallen. We’re a work in progress - they’ve spunked over a billion quid since they last won the title to be this ‘good’

Yep, we had a hell of a lot of dead balls, and most were floated straight at the keeper. Despite that, there were a couple of peaches that still should have resulted in a goal

I’ve tried to defend Wood, but today he really pissed me off. What annoyed me wasn’t that he missed, but the manner in which he missed. Those two big chances were half-arsed attempts; put himself on the end of it but without wanting to do more than that - it was a cowardly performance for a centre forward.

Imagine 7th … and a League Cup win

Not sure where the ‘Leeds game plan worked’ craic is coming from - we must have had seven or eight nailed-on goal scoring opportunities. On another day that finished 5- or 6-0. Leeds were absolutely cack, especially second half. They were really struggling to contain us and couldn’t get out of their own half - that wasn’t a superb defensive performance, we were crafting chances with most attacks. Dead balls were a bit off today though. No-one should be worried about the league table at this point either - too much is being made of two points dropped vs Leeds. This side has every chance of putting in a real performance at Arsenal - and if we lose, we lose.

Honestly, the conditions didn’t help. Our passing was just a fraction off all game, and I think the driving rain and sodden pitch played a part in that. Still have to take one of those multiple chances mind. Leeds are starting to feel like a bogey team at SJP, which is annoying as I (like most right-thinking Geordies) utterly detest the cunts

That was frustrating. Comfortably the better side, some utterly dogshit finishing cost us. I’d happily not see Wood again. Onwards and upwards.

Could Longstaff stop handballing? Ffs

Longstaff being a right fanny there

I don’t think I’ve ever seen as many missed opportunities in a game as this

Fucking Longstaff lad

FUCKING CUNTING HELL JUST FINISH A CHANCE and breathe

I normally defend Wood, but Howe has to get that fucking lump off. Dogshit finish again - takes all fucking day

The conditions aren’t helping either side here like

We’re the better side here. Against Palace and Bournemouth we were poor

Surely LC bookings don’t count towards the PL - they’re not under the same governing body?

Thought we played ok there tbh - on a different day we take a couple of those chances and we’re sitting pretty If it’s still 0-0 at 60 mins I’d want to see Wilson and ASM on for Wood and Longstaff (I think Willock was full of running there)

I literally don’t understand VAR if that isn’t checked for a pen

Good defending by the ref from that corner - put Willock off

?

It’s going to be like Frank Clark. He’ll get his one goal in a seven goal rout of a fourth division side in the league cup - and he (and we) will go fucking crackers when he gets it
