United 08/09 with Rooney Ronaldo Tevez et al managed a swashbuckling 68

Ran out of steam vs Liverpool and then got it back again at Stamford Bridge and then ran out again at Forest (but might have had it if they scored one of their numerous chances) and then had it back again at the San Siro and then ran out again at the weekend

I’d go mega strong for Kairat. Saliba and Zubi can have a rest. The rest of you can fucking go again.

They're going to give Carrick the job permanently and then fire him next January lol

Another absolutely baffling use of VAR When will it end

‘Gap is 4 because Villa will win’ Okily dokily.

Another Arsenal fanbase meltdown for absolutely no reason is it

That should have been chalked off as well tbh, officiating landscape a bit of a mess

I think it was a clear, obvious offside offence and I’m completely baffled as to the discourse around it

Championship again ole ole

Madueke should be attempting dribbles/take-ons roughly 100% of the time he’s 1v1 here and he just isn’t.

I just want all the pain imaginable for Chelsea tbh

Another key injury at a key time but we’ll have bottled the league if we don’t win it

One of our best games recently that No idea how Benitez wasn’t MOTM

I know it has to be done because of their current position but finding all the Villa title talk really weird Very comfortable saying this Villa side can’t win the league

Pep is obviously a great coach (maybe even the best ever) but his entire career (aside from Bayern perhaps) has the stain of cheating and corruption. Should always be viewed through that lens imo.

The City thing is like if Lance Armstrong was a powerful country and instead of disgracing the individual you were disgracing said powerful country. State ownership in football eh.

If we win anything this year we will owe it all to Bukayo Saka and to a lesser extent Declan Rice. Put us on your back lads.

This is one game too many for Merino Get Trossard and Gyokeres on for him and Eze

The story of yesterday is Moises Caicedo committing a stupid foul, a dangerous foul, an inarguable red card, in a game where his team was on top and at home and a win from being a mere match from the top spot. And yet the manager couldn’t even get his *best player* to comprehend the circumstances.

Arsenal were not very good and Chelsea were very good We should have beaten ten men We need our centre backs fit We take the point

Kimmich’s interview encapsulates what I’ve seen from a lot of Bayern outlets/fans since last night. They’re salty and shell-shocked. Not used to it, especially from the likes of ‘Arsenal’, so they deny reality.

I think Liverpool are going to give someone a hiding in their next few

might go Saliba. He's not high on the DefCon charts though.

This is not remotely normal he’s on his way to being the greatest goalscorer that’s ever lived

It’s all good fun until a penalty like that is given in a high stakes KO round Just feels like roulette

The PL table that I think is most relevant is the “here’s the table if all goals count” table.

7 points clear of Liverpool.

Boring games for yourselves, entertaining games for your rivals 👌🏼

Remember these days? Three whole fucking weeks ago.

Through the man to get the ball. Really clear and obvious that. Good process again.

I honestly find it so funny that ‘open play xG’ has only been a thing since Arsenal started cheat coding set pieces

He’s the best player in the league in the same way Jesse Lingard and Miguel Almiron were previously the best players in the league

Spurs with the ‘Champions of Europe’ chant. Says a lot

Who plays up front when Isak breaks down?

THE FUCKING ARSENAL

Wildcard!

Get Saka off right now that’s enough

Absolutely fucking bizarre take I would love to see what people said about City/Arsenal if we went to the Etihad, got a lead, and defended for our lives for 80 mins whilst taking all our attackers off for defenders. Wait, we did it with 10 men for 45 last season and got slated for it. Oh well.

This is so, so good. Can identify with every word. Media and fan narratives are insane at present.

Perhaps the most exasperating part of Michael Cox's latest yelling at clouds is its conclusion praising Liverpool, in whose most recent match relevant to the context of his discussion put up 9 shots for 0.5 xG at home against an opponent missing several key players.

Think Arteta got it wrong today in the first half Still some sight watching a Pep team with 11 men in a low block with 10 defenders + Doku with 20 to go

Not this prick again

Somebody tells you "Martinelli scored in the Champions League" and you wouldn't even have to see it, you can picture the whole thing

Man Utd are basically the kid who picked on you at school that became bloated and balding in adulthood, constantly gets belittled at work and desperately leaps from one failed relationship to the next since their marriage ended

Couple of thoughts about yesterday - Starting Nwaneri or Eze over Merino would have been fucking suicidal given other personnel. Think the lineup was correct - Liverpool played not to lose just as much as we did - Media frenzy and fan base bed-wetting is predictable but very annoying

“This would have been a marker game had AFC won it, unless during the rest of the season they lose others and it didn’t affect things. But also, what if they win it anyways even having lost this one? Then it’s not a marker even though it could have been a marker!”. Again, it’s all pure drivel.
