Apologies for the loss of conncection halfway through. Wifi in the area went down. Lasts a couple of minutes and then we resume.
cheers tom, lovely stuff. 2-0 Kai and Noni off the bench
More evidence that man city get loads of decisions go for them . Never mentioned.
That was 100% a pen. It is not incompetence, it is corruption
I'm sure it's not corruption, I think they are just humans who may miss stuff. We should leave then alone and let them enjoy their paid trip to Dubai in the summer……..
PGMOL don't need to cheat. City can win themselves.
Spectrum US 🤝 Virgin UK (I think that's who Tom has). Ruining lives on the daily.
The prem is corrupt i dunno if its just the refs or higher up but that was a blatant penalty all day long,its just bollox
Watched city game and Leeds were so good first 20 minutes gave me hope but they spurned 2 great chances and then the Arsenal supporter scored and it was over
I also think there was something in us looking at Joan Garcia last year as taller than Raya similar quick reactions and good with feet, I don’t think he is done upgrading goalkeepers
Kai havertz is like the undertaker in wwe when he rises from the dead just before we play Chelsea
'Are we still here?' Bro, come on, we're not going anywhere.
Stay safe today
honestly I do not understand how that is not a penalty "because it was accidental" since when was that a thing…
I believe the reason why it seems like Arsenals opponents seem to score with their first chance is due to our individual errors. Those individual errors lead to huge chances compared to teams opening up Arsenals defense by cutting through the defense. I think I read we conceded the most goals made to individual errors?
Name one ManC match in which the PGMOL haven't favoured them with absolutely horrendous decisions since Rodri complained about the referees.
Foden should have been sent off. Silva should have been sent off. Leeds should have had a penalty. Opponent goals disallowed. Penalties not given. And ManC not receiving cards or decisions against when they should. In EVERY single match!
115 + 1 penalty?
Tom: ”Its spelled Viktor, please guys, just spell the guys name correctly!!”.
Also Tom: ” Titles video: Kia Havertz AND Bukayo Saka boosts…”
City getting the benefit of the doubt from the refs shouldn't be a surprise. It's so obviously corrupt.
3-1 to the Arsenal.
Hi Tom I always look forward to the match preview of the selected team and how well you explain your team choice.
100% a penalty and probably a red card too. It’s shocking that these decisions aren’t analysed more.
Let’s say they did analyse them though.
What difference does it make and how has it impacted Arsenals season?
Raising his arms to make himself bigger to win the header and it hit his arm clear pen
Kai and/or Noni to score…
Cherki move was that of a jerk he knew exactly what he did and nothing is spoken about it anywhere. If it was an Arsenal player the roof would have been brought down, we all saw after Martinelli how they drummed it to till kingdom come. Sick of city
Excited for today and the tifo 💃🏻💃🏻 and more so for Kaiiii. I hope Arteta wraps him with wool with Dec, Saka, big Gabi, Zubi and Wilo and manage our rotation on pitch. Got a good feeling we winning tonight COYG 🔴⚪️
Should have got NORD VPN
yea no coverage. Yet gabriels foul last week was analysed from all angles.
Keep focus all you gooners. We can't let city rattle us
Getting more articles and pundits talking about some Leeds fans booing the stoppage in play for Ramadan than the penalty or red card decision.
3:21 Not a pen for me. However if it’s in the Champions League I think VAR will ask the ref to look at it!
5:07 Cherki should have been sent off!
I don't like all the citeh players swarming the ref at every opportunity to complain
They won't analyse it since it is not Arsenal 😮😮😮
Could City do Spursy a favour if City get relegated this season because only 3 club go down? What's more important we win the League or Spursy go down?
