These fuckers won't let us win.

Neville will ramp it up now as well.

Fromola - it’s relentless, pointless and jarring. Pack it in, ffs.

[rushyman]

Neville's moaning about the amount of sub stoppages

You get 3 sub windows each to make 5 subs

Same as it always was

[SamLad]

So how the hell are we currently leading the table then? 

PGMOL are lulling us into a false sense of security.

[QC]

I bet Taylor thinks he's done a great job this game too, the thick tw*t

[Tonyh8su]

I see it's still the same scoreline with zero bookings or anything this half. I'm assuming Arsenal time wasted and rolled around for the whole half and West Ham said "Thanks for the belly tickle, guys"?

[JRed]

Remember Arsenal fans were crying that the refs were against them? Because they had a few correct decisions given against them?

[Luvva bevvy on Chrimbo day]

Disappointed we haven’t had a shot of the set piece coach

[Hymer Red]

When the contents of the brown envelope have been deposited in his offshore account he will know its a job well done

He has a half a point as previously you'd be likely to have 4 or 5 sub breaks with double subs and what not, whereas now it's generally 6 regardless. Weird thing to be so bothered about though, especially since it's been a thing for 4 years now.

[Fromola]

How many times have we been top at Christmas? League is rigged.

[Robinred]

Has Raheem lost the Gillette gig?

[QC]

Come on, two foot someone at least

[The holly and the jillc]

How many times have we been top at Christmas? League is rigged.

Serious question. If you are so convinced the League is rigged, why bother watching it at all? It's not as if you seem to get one iota of enjoyment from it.

[Jólaköttur]

5 minutes extra time after Arsenal spent about 20 rolling around on the floor

[Luvva bevvy on Chrimbo day]

Oh Danny

[rushyman]

Ffs Ings how do you pull that

[smicer claus is coming to town]

Should be 15 added with all the time wasted and subs.

[QC]

Ffs Ings how do you pull that

Cause he's rubbish

[Nick110581]

Follow another sport

[rushyman]

5 mins ?

6 subs breaks is 3 mins alone

Saka was worth 3

[rushyman]

Now Jorginho is screaming

Fucking worst cheats in the history of English football this current Arsenal side

[SamLad]

Oh Danny

he should have fallen over and rolled around.

[LFC_R_BOSS]

Remember how long they went on about the decision against them at Newcastle.  Every game for us .

[KalantaScouser]

My word Respect how utterly relentless you are on here, takes some effort.

[LFC_R_BOSS]

A masterclass by Arsenal apparently. Utter fucking shit on a stick football.

[Jólaköttur]

MoM for being a fucking diving shithouse

[Zimagic]

Their questionable approach to the gentlemanly pursuit of association football aside, Arsenal have been the best footballing side we've played this season in the PL. We probably could have beaten them, but you can't argue that the opposite wasn't also true. They are a good team and, on current form, are probably a bigger threat to us than City. Need to beat City tomorrow though.

Part of me misses "honest" football though. When did good teams feel that conning the ref & play-acting constantly as part of your identity was even necessary? It's completely cringe-worthy & I hope that we never go down that road.

[A weatherfield winter wonderland]

Brentford won today without much involvement from Mbuemo and Wissa (he did score the first to be fair). A few of their more lightweight players who have been there for a while without doing much are starting to step up. Damsgaard was man of the match today despite the Schade hat trick, played some brilliant passes. Lewis-Potter was quite good as well playing at left back.

Brentford have scored more than us (until tomorrow anyway!). But have had a very easy set of home fixtures so far, played all the bottom six at home I think, maybe bar Everton.

Leicester are total crap though tbf.

Pure gamesmanship. Zero credit- fuck off. c*nts

I'm glad the West Ham manager pointed out the blatant foul for the first goal. Timber has no intention of playing the ball, just to push the west ham player out the way. You can say he should be stronger but he gets a shoulder in the back while in midair. I'm not sure how they get away with it every week, surely some voodoo or something because every other team would be pulled for such blatant, systematic cheating.

Just seen it, and yeah, they do that kind of thing all the time and keep getting away with it, when most other sides would be pulled up.

[John C]

Is anyone joining me in wanting the blueshite to beat the Mancs today?
Long may the manc misery continue.

[Santas robbed me shorts]

I don't know what's funnier, the Mancs losing or the bitters - we know though that both sets of fans will cuddle up  later, nice glass of mulled wine and a mince pie, singing Feed the scousers,hoping that ADFC cheat their way to a win over the Scousers/Red Shite

[JRed]

It’s a win/win for us so I’ll just enjoy it regardless of who wins.

[Hark the Howard Angels Sing]

A full bore draw beckons.

Both set of fans will then be able to sit down happily and hope City derail our title bid.

*raises hand* Yep!

Someone could field a team of war criminals and I'd STILL want them to beat the Mancs.

Most likely they're being coached to do it in a way that referees won't punish. Officials don't seem to have any interest in learning and adapting, which is why Vardy for example was able to spend multiple seasons winning penalties by sticking his leg between the legs of a defender, and Kane was able to win free kicks by throwing himself under a jumping player again and again.

Remember when Rodri came to England and said he was still learning about tactical fouling? I'd bet certain teams like Arsenal, Brentford and City spend time in training looking at how they can get away with fouls and dives, and it's worth the time investment because officials won't look back at games, recognise what's happening and change their approach, it sounds like they basically don't think about football at all between matches.

As much as I've grown to dislike Everton's match going fans,I always want to see the red mancs beaten.
