A proper game of football, this one, berween a team that should have wrapped up the title already and another which should have been demoted to League One a long time ago.

Boggles the mind that this is one the closest times we've been to the top with 5 games to go in the post-Fergie era

We're at 5 games to go and the current leading points total is 70 and all the stupid dropped points we had flash before my eyes.

Sesko buries that 9/10

The only reason Gabriel doesn't get sent off is Haaland decided to aura farm instead of making any sort of reaction to it.

Losing a must-not-lose game, brings on a CB. This league is unwell.

i am a neutral and i want arsenal to win the league because human rights abusing petrostates are worse than annoying fans, and i don't understand how this isn't a consensus opinion.

I've kinda come to the realisation where I don't really care about the Arsenal bottling it memes and care far more about how City winning anything is objectively bad for the sport.

My kingdom for actual fullbacks playing fullback.

The magic number is now 64.

Max Verstappen in 2026

Liverpool playing an Ange-level high line vs McNeill, Neto and Ndiaye is a choice.

The UK government is doing everything it possibly can to avoid properly regulating or banning US tech companies in defence of our democracy. But sooner or later, they're going to have no choice.

The ump deciding to expand his zone to Narnia in extras is kinda infuriating

And they really put Walker back out there for the 10th after watching that disasterclass?

Why is Ryan Walker still the closer for the San Francisco Giants? The rest of the team had to perform miracles just to get this to extras.

Amad for Mbeumo is so obvious

Hey Michael, you wanna make a sub at all?

Can Cunha and Shaw please communicate when Neto has the ball

Can we remember how to counter attack at some point?

This Luis Arraez Gold Glove is so going to be worth losing 95 games. #SFGiants

Three days in a row I can post the same thing. Labour's 2025 strategy of promoting Reform has done them zero good and in a different world they would have split the right and be leading both parties. They're not even that far off now.

Le Deuxième Cut Inside Man

Baffled to why Atleti have tried to play football tonight.

This predates A.I. and is not restricted to Google. Every search engine, every site's archiving has become total garbage, for the same reason that supermarkets rearrange their aisles: You being able to find exactly what you're looking for is bad for business

Take most of the bullshit protection the top level refs get and give it all to the grassroots refs that get berated by random parents for no reason.

And it wasn't just the 3 big, game-defining decisions. It was shit like DCL being allowed to commit assault on every high ball.

Let's be real, we were properly dreadful, but holy fucking shit Leeds got babysat by the entire ref crew.

All Calvert-Lewin has done is foul all game and we’re the ones who got a red for brushing his hair

I know it's extraneous circumstances but Leny making a huge case why he should have been the middle CB all along

It's like Case getting sent off for briefly grabbing the side of a collar

We have one CB on the pitch and Ugarte in midfield, what is Carrick doing here

Between the Bournemouth debacle and tonight, the PL sure are committed to keeping the CL race alive

If Ugarte is still on the pitch coming out of half then I'd seriously reconsider Carrick staying on. Not even joking.

This game is basically why we're giving Maguire and Kobbie new contracts writ large

I would seriously consider Heaven for Yoro on top of sending Ugarte into the Shadow Realm

Leny has completely crumbled in this half

Team deciding to just completely mentally freeze for a full minute

McTominay was also very limited in the role he was pigeonholed into for 5+ years but he was never as bad as Ugarte has been

The combination of Ugarte doing next to nothing out of possession and not having Maguire to defend the box is potentially back breaking

Blursed XI

A team clawing back a seemingly insurmountable lead to win the league should be an incredible story. But if it happens, it’ll be set against a lot of growing noise around those charges. It’s laughable it’s still going on, and largely on their owners for not cooperating in the first place.

How Pep has Semenyo set up baffles me.

Absolutely sickening that you’ve got Arsenal in the midst of the choke to end all chokes, a choke of truly generational proportions, and we can’t really enjoy it because the PL slow-walking everything means this aggressively mid version of the financial dopers stand to be the chief beneficiaries

Regulate corporations, not people. Start by regulating the use of algorithms to deliver content, don’t allow ads/paid targeting anyone under 16, platform culpability for the spread of misinformation on, require limits on engagement-based user experience design, etc.

The combination of the conditions getting worse as the day has progressed and Rory's mechanics completely falling apart isn't particularly good.

political and media establishment for the last 40 years: we need to teach children the liberal values of acceptance, tolerance, and standing up to bullies. everyone raised in the last 40 years: we shouldn't genocide the exact same political and media establishment: WOKE HAS GONE TOO FAR
