How exactly is Ben whites clear impeding of the goalkeeper not deemed to be "impeding the goalkeeper "? 

Beat me to it. Needs to be greater clarity as to how much you’re allowed to impede a goalie. He definitely blocked any attempt the goalie could make to come for the ball.

Arsenal showing what you do in a derby when your chasing the title they look miles ahead of us since Jan still is going to sting when the cheats beat them to the title though

Oh look, so you can go to your bitterest rivals and deal with them easily after all. Fucking bottlers 

 

In fairness our record vs Everton is far better than most teams Derby record over the last 25 years.

He has been getting away with it all year. I've brought it up multiple times. The only time I've seen him gey pulled up is in Europe

[Elite]

Nice to see Spurs getting embarrassed at home though.

I'm not watching this but read a possible pen for Sours in the build up to the 2nd and the offside was close/debatable?

 

They habe no excuse for not winning the league. Everything has gone their way this year. No injuries,playing teams in injury crisis,decision against us and for them. There's no excuse for not winning it

Nah mate it wasn’t a pen. The offside was very close.

Not when it counts. 2 wins there out of 9 against their worst ever sides.

It clear enough Arsenal/ city it's not impeding Anyone else it is pretty simple really.

It’s getting worse and worse the blocking and pulling in the area, clear penalties getting constantly ignored. 

[Red74]

1 point from palace, the vermin and West fucking Ham was a disgrace for a team going into those games top of the league.

Stupid fucking spurs cunts. Bet they aren’t as accommodating when we play them.

They were accommodating it VAR that wasn't. Ange ball is good to look at when it's working they can over run teams (like we used to) but it's wide open and not sustainable in a top league week in week out at times their high line is suicidal and he refuses to change it (Chelsea 4-1 as example) they were down to 9 men and kept pushing higher and higher. He might win a carabao cup but ultimately he will be out a job in 2 years tops.

It has to be saud that the way they have been winning football matches since the turn of the year has been very, very emphatic.

 

They've been taking teams apart.

 

5-0 Crystal Palace

2-1 Nottm Forest

3-1 Us

6-0 West Ham

5-0 Burnley

4-1 Newcastle

6-0 Sheff Utd

2-1 Brentford

2-0 Luton

3-0 Brighton

2-0 Wolves

5-0 Chelsea

3-0 Tottenham (at half time)

 

48-4 across 12 and a half games...

 

Only pts dropped:

 

0-0 Man City

0-2 Aston Villa

 

 

 

 

 

 

[johnsusername]

Arsenal look very dynamic. 

 

We look absolutely pedestrian in comparison.

 

Saying that, we could have conceivably beat them twice in the league this season with a fair bounce of the ball, and the league would look a lot different.

 

It's a funny old game.

Look what happens when you develop an attacking system that works and suits the players you’ve got. 

[Red74]

Merson could have been describing us then when talking about spurs. Defence all over the place when getting counter attacked and far too slow getting the ball up the other end and not knowing what to do when they finally get up there. 

[El Rojo]

It’ll be a big mental blow to Arsenal ahead of next season if City just win their remaining matches.

 

I don’t think they’ll be as good and as lucky next season.

 

Postecoglou hasn’t really changed anything for Spurs, same as any manager they appoint.

[El Rojo]

Tribalism aside, Arsenal would be worthy champions this season if the sport wasn’t absolutely corrupt, and of course we’d also have at least 21 titles. 

[3 Stacks]

The Arsenal thing is simple in terms of the squad; the front 4, including Odegaard, are all technically very good and work hard, and then the rest of the side is just big and nasty.

[Tj hooker]

Just had a look at the cheats run in looks very favourable to hoover up another title , which will mean absolutely fuck all

Some defensive record too.

 

They don't have to make half a dozen changes every game too, which helps....unchanged again today from midweek.

[waddy78]

Tell you what we've been saying (as of afcon) that Salah form is shocking but Son at Tottenham has fallen off a cliff without Kane.

We’ve bought some shite these last few years.
