Let’s hope that ozil tweet comes back to bite his old club in the ass!

I thought exactly that as soon as I saw it. A massive chance that title could very well be suited to Arsenal come the end of the season.

Emery has proven he’s a better coach than arteta. If arsenal had Emery last season they would have won the league most likely.

Martinez is such a prick goalie but the sort of player you'd worship if he was in your team.

How good are Villa? Can they hold onto top 4? It's theirs to lose really.
It will be interesting to see if their league form suffers from a Conference League run, as with Emery in charge, I would expect them to go far in that comp.

Have been watching the game on Swedish TV and listened through a 20 min studio talk, where the only refereeing decision discussed was that the Havertz goal was rightly disallowed.

Then they bring in a feed interview from Sky with Odegaard, where one of the first questions asked is, "Do you feel there was a sense of injustice with some of the decisions in the second half?

I know they feed on controversy, but trying to create it from thin air is just pathetic.

Jamie Redknapp as well moaning about the handball goal ruled out. Baffling

Very similar points total & difference to that Leicester 2015/16 winning season. This was after match day 16 in that season. Doesn’t feel like it but we are already one point ahead of where we were at that stage.

Honestly think in the head to head games between the top 6 this season, on a level (or better) playing field the only side that has looked better than us is Liverpool. Citeh should have been out of sight first half but we were arguably better second half and it doesn't need repeating who we were missing.

IF we could beat Newcastle tomorrow then to be only 7 points off the pace early December after a once-in-a-decade injury crisis wouldn't be that bad. We'll still have to play the top sides once more and they have Europe to contend with. We have the ANC and Asia Cup but it's not quite as scary as it was given how some of the squad have stepped up.

Firmly believe we'll be in the race for 2nd by Feb/Mar and being in the title race just depends on whether Citeh go on a crazy run or not

Was it not called by the ref on field anyway?
That's what he's saying. The ref called it no goal and VAR confirmed that the decision was not a clear and obvious error. It was, in fact, spot on and therefore what on earth is Legoman bringing up 'clear and obvious' for

Ah, sorry - got confused as Havertz pretty much juggled the ball like a chestnut fresh out the oven, so wasn't quite sure how anyone in their right mind could think it was anything other than a handball.

Because he is making sure the refs don't give 50 50s against them.

Klopp does it all the time and Fergie was the master of it.

Make sure the refs feel pressure from your side so that they give the 50/50 calls to your team.

Also he is deflecting from his team's performance. Then the fans and everyone else knows that they lost because of a ref decision
