Yeah and they should mind the gap while they're at it
Don't get me wrong they're still a good team, I just think we're a level above. They'll be top 6, but unless things change alot not top 4. I watch arsenal a lot and they haven't played well this season which is surprising considering they've had the same manager for 20 years, and haven't overhauled the squad massively. I can only seeing things going downhill as the season progresses, with the standard late surge at the end. The difference being they'll be too big a deficit to make top 4. This is how I see things playing out.

I salute your optimism and on todays showing we are a level above them... but they always find a way to finish top 4 so I'll believe it when I see it.

Another game in this league won with corruption/incompetence from refs.
It's just a joke at this point yet people are in denial about corruption, how long before it sinks in and fans speak up?

Turned the scum off to watch the golf, what was wrong with the goal? (apart from it being an Arse goal)
Might sound a bit hypocritical but it's just a shame this stuff happens against teams like Burnley who need the points.
If that happens against Chelsea then you know that whilst still wrong Chelsea can make the points up. These type of decisions always seem to just shit on the littler teams who are likely to be fighting to stay up

It's always the same teams that benefit as well. Arsenal have got last minute wins as a result of two absolutely calamitous combinations of awful referee decisions (Southampton and today) and Liverpool have already had three ludicrous non-penalties given to them. The season's only seven games old. Yet anyone who even mentions corruption gets laughed at despite numerous concrete examples this week that corruption is rife in the English game.

It was both offside AND it went in off an Arsenal elbow. Unbelievable.

And it was over the two minutes of injury time despite there being no stoppages in those two minutes.
Which is...the point I'm making buddy..

Exactly, it's so obvious at this point you have to be completely ignorant to not see it.
It will continue to happen until we get video replays OR the league's officials are investigated, the telegraph should focus on that instead.

Sky and the media essentially dictate how this league plays out, they are as much to blame with the way they are selective with what they highlight and make issues of along with the biased behaviour.
Basically the whole thing is corrupt as fuck.

Yeah, usually by having 10 results a season earned like they did today.
They get so much luck it's untrue.

If anyone now is against video refs (and effective playing time) I will seriously question their football "sanity".
Too much added time, a blatant hand ball in an obvious off-side position with the ref and assistant having a clear view of it all.
On top of that Graham Poll comes out with this nonsense:
GRAHAM POLL'S VERDICT
Referee Craig Pawson couldn’t see the last-minute incident involving Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Laurent Koscielny and even if he had, it is a 50-50 call.
I watched the replays three times and I still don’t know whether it was deliberate handball on Koscielny’s part.
The defender’s arms are only up because he was trying to play the ball with his feet.
And, well, err...surprise-surprise: Wenger did not see the goal! I bet he would if it had been Burnley that socred.

If people still believe the richest football league in the world if free from corrupt refs, well, then think again. The proof was right there for everyone to see.
