Premier League 2017/18

Well we keep putting ourselves in this shit position season after season, failing to beat these shit mid to lower table teams.

 

[thinktank]

Feels wrong having them above us. Don't like it one bit.

 

[SugarRay]

Ridiculous really. But we've taken 4 points from our last 4 games.

It's no surprise to drop out of the top 4, but Pochettino has to sort this out now as finishing top 4 is still very much likely if we sort it out.

Yep. We absolutely have nobody to blame but ourselves. Not been good enough in the last four. The win against Palace was lucky.

Can’t be having a prolonged poor spell this season because we’ll fall behind the pack very quickly if so

 

[thinktank]

Not watching City game. Fuck off football.

 

[nightgoat]

Wenger made a hissy fit over City's third goal which even if chalked off would have ended in them losing.

Now his side have gained six points from fortunate referee calls.

How jammy can you get?

It's not jam...

No coincidence that Wenger spent the whole international break moaning about the correctly awarded Man City penalty and ultimately meaningless offside goal and in their next game every single decision, including two offside goals went their way.

 

[Wellspurs]

Fking horrible end to a fking horrible weekend....


Hopefully mid week will be better....

At least we've got the cricket to look forward to later?

It's to his credit that our manager isn't as shameless, but ultimately these days it pays to be that way

 

[haxman]

The scum fans will start their St.Totteringham's Day shit again now.

Let them start away. we'll be above them when it matters most, at the end of the season.

 

[haxman]

well in, Huddersfield!

 

[yankspurs]

Terriers

 

[Marty]

Otamendi unlucky. Don't care.

 

[The Long Suffering One]

West Brom and Brighton yesterday.. Burnley and now Huddersfield.. is there any league around Europe where half of its weekend matches involve teams parking the bus? So frustrating to watch at times..

 

[Hazardousman]

Thing is, nobody will bat an eyelid at it. It’s favoured Arsenal against a small club so it’s not news.
Wengers outburst against City has worked for him though. In his last two fixtures his side have had 4 huge calls go their way which resulted in goals that have won both games.

Yup, that's the shameful thing but I am sure many will ignore it and pass it off as nothing.

Desperately need video refs in the PL because the standard of officiating is awful, all this money in the game and yet most of the officials can't even keep up with the game, let alone get the decisions right.

People always say "It will slow the game down too much" when the truth is, we already have timewasting and other nonsense like that anyway, players moaning at the ref for 2-3 mins when he could just walk over to a screen, look at it and say foul or no foul on the big calls like pens, dives or free kicks, so many ways you could do it.

Even the fourth official could do it for him, saves even more time, it's such a simple inclusion that would make the game more fair but you have these "purists" of the game saying it would "ruin football" but then on the other hand the same people saying that piss and moan week in week out about bad decisions.

I actually think it would stop players cheating or berating the ref because they would know he could just walk over to the video and check it and if they waste his time, give them a booking, for example if a player says he didn't dive and the ref concludes otherwise based on the video evidence, send him off, simple.

It would have taken less time for a TMO to disallow both Arsenal's offside goals last weekend than they spent celebrating them.

 

[Marty]

Penalty. Ffs. Aguero rarely misses.

 

[Oscar22]

This is going to feel like a very long half now for Huddersfield.

 

[JayB]

Anybody who doesn't believe pace is useful against a team parking the bus should tune into this City match. Huddersfield are playing a low, wide back five but the ability of Sane, Sterling, and Walker to get in behind is creating the kind of space that we simply could not carve out yesterday.

 

[glacierSpurs]

Another game from the fucking scums that was awarded a last minute penalty against the same team again?

Fuck off man, seriously..

[NinjaTuna]

What a fucking atrocious dive from Fernandinho
