7 mins on Sunday was absolutely fucking laughable. Arsenal must have wasted 12 to 14. Fuck me those cunts get 8 mins at home when nothing has even happened. Cunts, arsenal and oliverYeah but they almost never do!! For obvytime wasting all the refs have to do is add a ridiculous amount of time repeatedly and it will be reduced. A stop/start clock would reduce it by 90%!!
Arsenal put 5 players on the back post. As soon as the corner is taken, 2 of them, usually 2 small players, immediately make a beeline for keeper to bloke his movement. Happens every time.Did I miss something. I’ve just googled the
Law
The latest Interpretations and Guidelines states: "It is an offence to restrict the movement of the goalkeeper by unfairly impeding him, e.g. at the taking of a corner kick." If the ball is not within playing distance, the attacker may not move in a way that restricts the keeper
By this definition surely Ederson was fouled at every corner ?
Not blaming the ref he made decisions as he saw the game in real time and made mistakes on SOME decisions going both ways, but with the assistance of VAR at a goal surely the obstructing of a keeper is something that should be looked at.
I can't see how that and players blocking off defenders off the ball isn't obstruction ,it isn't NFL.Arsenal put 5 players on the back post. As soon as the corner is taken, 2 of them, usually 2 small players, immediately make a beeline for keeper to bloke his movement. Happens every time.
With the amount of time outs they had it was reminiscent of an NFL game.I can't see how that and players blocking off defenders off the ball isn't obstruction ,it isn't NFL.
I counted three on the block, one in front, one behind and one to the side so he cannot move. The other two blockers took our far post defenders. Why the hell after watching them do this every bloody week we set up zonally with the majority at the near post god only knows. Whoever our set piece coach is needs to buck up their ideas.Arsenal put 5 players on the back post.

Surely that would be racist. Big Erl was only invoking his inner Viking Berserker and identified the enemy and their tactics as some sort of cockney shield wall. What’s wrong with that?The Sun calling for a ban this morning.
loads of width normally but not on Sunday. The two wingers on average were on the edge of the penalty area, not with their feet on the touchline. This allowed Arsenal to defend narrow and have two on each winger whenever they got the ball. At one time it was even narrower than that with both wingers almost inverted allowing Arsenal ten men inside a 10 x 3 metre box. The game was crying out to be stretched and hard low crosses into the six yard box. It only happened when Jack came on. I thought we were poor in the second half albeit we did fight to the end.In many ways Arsenal resemble the team that George Graham assembled, they are like Wimbledon with some quality, definately the most cynical tedious side i have seen at City since Neil Warnock's Sheffield Utd at Maine Road. The gods were against us on Sunday, we were 1 up bossing the game, and lost our most important player and we lost control for 20 minutes. It is time for Jack Grealish to step up and be an extra body inside for us, we have loads of width, lets make more of Jack, he is chomping at the bit to impress, lets let him, as for Arsenal and their tedious try hard fanbase, see you in May
