    He’s fairly maxing out the tosser scale in fairness. I’d expect nothing different.

    It might have been over in the old Alex Ferguson football world. In the new self-help manual 10 year contracts world, he's here for decades and winning it all.

    3 at the back by City

    Has Partey finally been sent down? And sushiface over White? Arteta's head's gone.

    Partey a precaution, his bail has been extended til the end of the season.

    White has been a bit off it the last few games, Tomiyasu looked decent in the FA Cup.

    I can watch a bit of EPL but nothing leaves me colder than a CL game. They just seem so fucking benign and pointless.

    Have Sky/'The Premier League' been cucked into not having this on TV by UEFA? Presumably it must have been originally slated as a TV game.

    Actually looking again it may be only Premier Sports that it’s on. I think that only airs here (like the 3pm live Saturday EPL games).

    Wouldn’t be shocked if Mudryk has a field day on the break here like the last time he was in Germany.

    Nice for Ederson to get a booking for his 5th attempt at time wasting and then time wasting some more. Silva also gets to commit multiple fouls on Saka and no booking then they just rotate Ake on to him.

    If it's a penalty than it's definitely a second booking surely. IDGAF tho. Ederson spending 5 minutes poiting at the corner that Saka places it in is funny.

    Pretty fair penalty decision for me. Completely takes him out.

    'Takes him out'



    They run into each other. Maybe if Nketiah could have gone on to influence the game, but the shot was off, it was incidental contact and a poor decision. Does that mean you can kick someone and fall over if you are both running? Fuck City though so fair enough, I guess it's not that far from the Harry Kane 'toe the ball out of play and fall over' special [which also categorically shouldn't be a penalty but always is].

    The equivalent situation for an outfield player is a winger poking the ball past a defender who attempts a tackle and in the motion of doing so, runs into the winger. The shot being off has absolutely zero relevance to the situation (in fact the only relevance it has is preventing Ederson from being sent off).

    Would Taylor have pulled play back if the ball had rolled in the net? Not a chance. He's played advantage and inexplicably given Arsenal another roll at the dice.

    Probably would on a phone/laptop but can’t vpn on the telly app.

    Edit - actually now that I think of it, it goes by your payment card so it wouldn’t work at all.

    In that scenario what advantage did they gain?

    Lots of fascinating stuff in Dortmund-Chelsea. Potter's men playing on the counter. Bellingham trying way too hard to appear pumped up. Absurdly bad Spanish referee losing control. Kai Havertz's first touch shooting down one of those Chinese balloons. Julian Brandt looking like the untermensch have plenty to worry about yet. Nil nil.

    A free shot at an open goal. You can't punish City for hooking the ball off the line.

    Yeah, that yellow card for Silva was a genuine joke. He’s definitely giving a dodgy penalty at some point.

    Could have done with Giroud or someone in that ilk for Fernandez, Mudryk and especially Felix to play off of. It’s a bit of a miracle when the ball doesn’t bounce 5 yards off of Havertz.

    No Arsenal player touches the ball after the foul, there's no advantage gained at all.

    They aren't being punished for hooking the ball away. If anything it's a good defensive move and they're rewarded as it gives them a chance to save the penalty.

    Well it clearly wasn't a free shot since he got taken out 0.1 seconds later.

    A couple of things.

    Arsenal are so prone to a fuck up. They seem to lack concentration so often.

    I did not realise how average Jorginho is. Offers so little.

    I never really thought Arsenal could keep it up [their luck has been unbelievable - cf that disallowed penalty] but at the same time I didn't think they'd fold so quickly. I guess City could fuck things up but this result [if it stays like this] feels like it would be fairly major [at least until City are relegated/docked 400 points].
