Yeah im not having that. We were shite, they beat us on xG as well.

The first was an open goal from a lucky bounce and we gifted them high xG chances for their 3rd and 4th.

xG is misleading. The counters and openings we messed up don't go into it.

Even their last goal was a lucky bounce as sometimes it hits the posts and doesn't go in like Toney today. It was just a weird game

Time to turn another corner in a few days then eh United?

The decisions in this country are becoming a fucking farce. I just watched the Newcastle game. The first penalty is soft but you can see why it is given but the second penalty is a disgrace. In what way can you kick a defender looking to clear the ball fall over and it's a penalty? When you think of the penalty we didn't (Doku) get and the penalty Newcastle got what is the fucking point of VAR?

Think Gordon gets his leg in front of the ball knowing Phillips isn't paying attention and takes the contact. I thought it was quite clever at first, but he actually plant's his leg and is lucky he didn't end up fuckin injured.

The games just changed, I watched a clip of the Everton match where they wanted a pen. Can't remember who it was gets a tap on the ship and they just jump in the air. Commentator saying there is contact. We're at that point now all contact is a fuckin foul

I've just watched the Chelsea game. The Chelsea penalty is shocking. The Burnley player simply challenges for the ball. A penalty and second yellow and VAR reviewed it and thought it was fine.

Thought the same. They were side by side, hand on shoulder at most. The problem is the onfield ref gives it and VAR backs his mate of course. How Burnley got a point after that disgrace I don’t know.

The two Gordon penalties are part of a worrying trend we’re seeing where the forward sees the defender about to play the ball and then plants his foot between the defender and the ball. To me, the forward is initiating the contact there and it shouldn’t be a penalty. On the upside if Gordon keeps doing that someone will break his leg.

and right on cue the comms and pundits call him "clever". it's a fucking disgrace. bad enough when it was (mostly) just Grealish and Kane being clever game after game. someone needs to challenge the morons who say that and force them to explain what is clever about fooling the ref.

Not quite the same, but similar, was against Brentford where the forward just jumped between Robertson and the ball and tried to claim a pen. Happily that one wasnt given, but refs are still giving these ones where as you say, the forwards are initiating contact and looking to collide with a defender rather than making an attempt to play the ball.

A draw the best outcome here right? Anything but an Arse win.

We won't know what the best result here is until the end of the season. Statistically maybe a draw is best but who knows.

At this moment in time a draw helps us the most.

Positives in all results, that’s the beauty of getting our job done and then watching the two teams directly below us

You can tell an absolute mile off Walcott thinks he's forgot more than anyone knows about football

Yep. Haven't thought about who I want to win but hope there's a few injuries, red cards and Guardiola and Arteta having a punch up.

Cruiser · « **Reply #546 on:** March 31, 2024, 04:13:25 pm »

Draw with lots of red cards and season ending injuries please.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #547 on:** March 31, 2024, 04:14:33 pm »

No point worrying about what the result will be or losing our arses with whatever the result ends up being. There are positives and negatives to all possibilities. Just sit back and enjoy knowing we have 3 points in the bank.

Draw or Arse win. City have the squad and the run in to win all their remaining games, the more they drop points the better.

smicer07 · « **Reply #549 on:** March 31, 2024, 04:15:44 pm »

Draw or Arsenal win for me. But think City will win fairly comfortably.

WorldChampions · « **Reply #550 on:** March 31, 2024, 04:16:51 pm »

Jesus to score Easter Sunday? It'd be written in the stars if he wasn't gash at finishing.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #551 on:** March 31, 2024, 04:17:07 pm »

Not really arsed about the result, if you're positive any out come is good and if you're negative it'll be "fuck, Arsenal have all the momentum, we're fucked", "fuck, a draw keeps them both right in it, we can't slip up", and "fuck, City are inevitable at this stage, nailed on to win every game for the next 6 years" etc.

If Arsenal do win though we'll probably see a worship on here that even our league and CL winning teams didnt get, the praise in the last 6 weeks has been insane.

Draw

If one has to win I'd take city. That'll end Arsenal and it'd be in our hands

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #553 on:** March 31, 2024, 04:17:14 pm »

I just don't know what I want from this game apart from a load of sending offs. It's just nice to know the points are in the bag and we can sit back and watch this.

Peabee · « **Reply #554 on:** March 31, 2024, 04:17:21 pm »

Draw. Injuries or suspensions to key players. Arteta finally gets sent off for standing on the touchline and getting in the way of opposition players.

elsewhere · « **Reply #555 on:** March 31, 2024, 04:17:28 pm »

lets get a brawl and plenty of red cards from these pussies.

Redley · « **Reply #556 on:** March 31, 2024, 04:19:13 pm »

Would love to see some injuries too, both teams deserve some. Season enders for Saka, Odegaard, De Bruyne and Silva would be delightful.

swoopy · « **Reply #557 on:** March 31, 2024, 04:20:01 pm »

Draw or Arsenal win.
Loads of injuries and red cards. Game abandoned and both sides getting a -6 point deduction would be great too.

This

I just wanted to watch this after a win and it's done

What happens, happens now. Straight red for Rice and De Bruyne wouldn't go amiss
