Today's Football 2025-26

[Gash]

I'd rather West Ham went down, shitty club with shitty owner(s) living off the back of Bobby Moore etc and think their a big club, moved to a tin pot stadium on the cheap that's totally unsuited to football, at least Spurs built their own ground. Send them down!

[Stumpy]

Trossard is pinning him against Raya in the first place. Honestly that much shit goes on at corners, especially when it comes to Arsenal, it's ridiculous to overturn something like that.

I'm absolutely fucking sick of it.
Set pieces have been a shambles for a long time now and much of it is totally ignored.
They pick and choose the times they get involved and let everything else go.
It's killing the game, it's sucking all the joy and excitement out of the moment.
You can't celebrate with any real gusto until everything has been okayed by the killjoys.
Even last monday when O'Brien headed us in front i couldn't let myself go because city have conceded lets see if we can do something about it for them.
Just get rid of the crap and let's go back to how it used to be

Raya is sleight in goalkeeping terms, he is going to struggle at every corner in a melee with arms everywhere.

They just couldn't wait to get involved. Ref could have shown he had balls and said everyone in there was holding everyone else so as it wasn't a clear and obvious error the original decision stands.

I can't stand that men can just get away with assaulting women, can joke about it, dismiss it, be mates with rapists etc and yet they are billionaires and they have utter joy in the world, they have the best life you can imagine, they do whatever they want. They have zero consequences.

Spurs can still go down but I expect then to win tomorrow and then they have the rollover kings on the last day so should be fine.

What context am I missing here?

Was only able to listen to bits and pieces from the game so just saw the incident now.



Looking at just that one snapshot, the problem is this is exactly what Arsenal have made corners become. Trossard is fouling, Raya's getting fouled, I think Rice was too, and there are probably 3 or 4 other things at the same time. Don't know how you say one incident is more of a foul than another really, and that's what Arsenal have made it become this season and officials have let go time and time again.

I just don't like the pick and choosing. If you're going to call it then really VAR should rewind it and find the first point of contact. Likely in this case it was Trossard already holding the player from jumping.

Rice was commuting a rugby tackle. Mad

Sick of it now .....Sky was a complete white wash .... Davey Jones laughing and joking with Ian Wright.....
I know we get paranoid but they really do like to analyse everything when a goal goes against the top teams , and just do brief checks... when it suits them....
Thank fuck it isn't us in the relegation zone...

[weimaranerblues]

Only saw a brief glimpse of Motd , Darren Mann ex ref giving his opinion, FFS , rule change no attackers allowed in the six yard box during corners. What he been smoking.

And the disallowed goal apparently grappling can go on asv they only focus on the point goals get scored, utter bollocks, Danny Murphy just sat their nodding....Utter shambles. Better to take 5 mins rather than 30 secs if it means getting the right decision.....fuck off...

As Davey said looks like you can do as you like ....until it doesn't....

I wouldn't be surprised in the last game after Arsenal have won the league, they get penalized for fouling in the box.
9 months too late...

Second slide there FFS

That's my thoughts about it. The refs have allowed Arsenal players to do what they want all season and even in that clip Trossard is holding down Pablo looking away from the ball whilst Rice is hauling down Mavropanos.

It was a terrible decision in the context of what's come before this season and it's going to be what wins Arsenal the title because Burnley will roll over at the Emirates and Palace understandably won't care 3 days before the Conference League final.

I think it's yet another one of those decisions where the ultimate thought process is "Which decision can we make that will cause less of a fuss?" and given it's Arsenal involved with their fanbase and media presence then it's always going to be the one which favours them.

It doesn't really bother me who wins the league as long as it's not them across the park and maybe Pep/Klopp raised the bar too high but it's consecutive years now where the winners of the league have been sides that aren't particularly impressive.
